Exiled Belarusian opposition leader Svetlana Tikhanovskaya will address the UN Security Council, her team says. She will speak via video link at the invitation of Estonia on Friday, and will address the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe next week. She was forced to leave Belarus after veteran leader Alexander Lukashenko had been declared a winner in this month's disputed presidential election. Pro-democracy campaigners have vowed to force Mr Lukashenko from office.

The claim: Respiratory disease tuberculosis is deadlier than COVID-19 but has not received the same public health measures or warnings. COVID-19 may be the latest, and most relevant, respiratory disease, but the unprecedented concern is misleading, a viral Facebook meme suggests. "10 million people contracted Tuberculosis last year. 1.5 million people DIED," the post declares. "Did you even know? Were you scared for your life?" The meme claims that preventive COVID-19 measures, such as mask-wearing, social distancing and closing public spaces and businesses, have not been prioritized for tuberculosis despite its deadliness.
