 Hello and welcome to the International Daily Roundup by People's Dispatch, where we bring you major news and elements from around the world. Our headlines, UN report on children and armed conflict documents rise in grey violations. Cuba's Abdala and Soberana 2 vaccines show positive results in late-stage trials. Workers across 7 Amazon facilities in Germany launched 3 days strike, and in our video section we take a look at the rallies held in support of Pedro Castillo amid rising fears of a coup in Peru. In our first story, the UN has verified nearly 24,000 cases of grey violations committed during armed conflicts in 2020. These violations affected 19,379 children in 21 situations. These figures are part of the UN's annual report on children and armed conflict published on June 21. It notes that the vulnerability of children grew under the COVID-19 pandemic. 8,521 children were recruited and used in conflicts, and 2,674 were killed. Most of the violations were recorded in Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Somalia, Syria and Yemen. Cases of abduction grew by 90% and sexual violence by 70%. 98% of the victims of sexual violence were girls. However, these numbers are considered to be severely under-reported. While the report documents widespread violations, it does not include Israel and the Saudi led war in Yemen in its so-called list of shame. The UN verified over 4,400 grey violations in the country last year. Out of this, at least 194 children were killed and maimed by the Saudi Emirati coalition. Meanwhile, there have been 1,031 verified cases of violations by Israeli forces in the occupied territories and in Israel. The violations impacted 340 Palestinian and 3 Israeli children. Occupation forces killed at least 8 Palestinian children in 2020, while Israel's 11-day bombing of Gaza killed at least 66 children. The destruction of homes, schools and medical facilities has further affected thousands. According to Defense for Children International, 5-700 Palestinian children are detained and persecuted in Israel's military system each year. Some of these children are as young as 12 years old, with the most common charge being stone throwing. In our next story, Cuba's three-dose vaccine candidate, Abdallah, has demonstrated 92.28% efficacy in late-stage trials. President Miguel Diaz-Canel confirmed the news on June 21. 48,290 volunteers participated in the vaccine's phase 3 trial starting March 22. They were administered three doses with an interval of three weeks. Meanwhile, the Finlay Institute announced on June 19 that the Soberana 02 vaccine had demonstrated 62% efficacy with two of its three doses. This exceeds the minimum 50% threshold required for approval by the WHO. The third phase of the clinical trials for Soberana 02 began on March 4. 44,010 people between the ages of 19 and 80 participated. The vaccine has proven effective against both original as well as mutant strains in late-stage trials. At present, Cuba has developed five COVID vaccine candidates. The country has recorded over 169,000 COVID cases and 1,170 deaths as of June 20. Meanwhile, as of June 19, over 2.24 million Cubans have received at least one dose of the most advanced vaccines. The strides made by Cuba are all the more significant given the over six decade long U.S. embargo. The blockade and sanctions have restricted access to international finance and led to serious supply shortages. Despite this, Cuba's health minister stated that 85% of the treatment protocol has been developed using national sources. Cuba has also sent delegations of its doctors to help find the pandemic in different countries. Several countries including Bolivia, Venezuela and Cuba have now committed to open collaboration on vaccine technologies. Officials from these countries participated in a summit for vaccine internationalism, which was concluded on June 21. Cuba and Mexico have committed to open licensing of their vaccines. Countries have also committed to sharing regulatory and manufacturing capacities. This is crucial given that only 0.3% of the world's vaccines have been administered in poor countries so far. In our next story, we go to Germany where Amazon workers have launched a three-day strike, starting from June 21. Employees across seven locations have stopped work. The strike has been called by the Verdi Union and will coincide with Amazon's Prime Day. The week strikes follows similar four-day action organised to the end of March. As per reports, monthly gross wages in retail excluding motor vehicles grew by around 25% between 2010 and 2019. Meanwhile, the increase in mail-order and online retail stood at 12.3%. Verdi has been demanding for almost a decade that Amazon recognised the collective wage agreement of the retail and mail-order business. Industry-wide negotiations are ongoing with unions demanding a wage increase of 4.5%. They have also asked for an additional 45 euros per month and a minimum wage of 12.5 euros per hour. Another important demand is a declaration of the general validity of collective agreements. This will ensure that these also apply to those companies which are not a part of the Employees' Association. Meanwhile, Amazon has announced a wage increase of 2.5%. The company has also pointed to additional benefits including bonuses and insurance. However, the union has pointed out that the wage increase is only a compensation for the increase in prices. Meanwhile, it has denounced the arbitrariness of these measures. The union argues that a collective agreement will offer workers legal certainty. And in our final story, we go to Peru where millions are still waiting for the official results of the presidential elections. Left-wing candidate Pedro Castillo won the election held on June 6th by a margin of around 44,000 votes. However, right-wing candidate Keco Fujimori has refused to concede defeat. She has challenged around 500,000 votes without offering proper evidence of fraud or irregularities. Meanwhile, thousands of Peruvians have continued to hold rallies in solidarity with Castillo. Here is a video feature on the current situation in Peru. We are going out because there is a fraud coming from Mrs. Fujimori who doesn't want to give up. We already know her trajectory. She is practically condemned and doesn't want to give up her defeat because she knows that she will face the pressure. That's all for your time for today. We will be back tomorrow with more news from around the world. Until then, keep watching People's Dispatch.
