The six-letter word is a call for a new four-country partnership or, as he calls it, a pact: “The world needs Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom to express our shared values and commitment to rule of law.” Conservative foreign affairs critic Michael Chong concurs, as suggested in the readouts of his recent conversations with the Australian and New Zealand High Commissioners to Canada.

Facebook is now allowing comments to be turned off on public posts for the first time since the social media platform launched in 2004.

Users will also be offered more insight into and control over what content appears in their News Feed as a part of what the company calls a "significant shift" in how it operates its algorithms, which have been widely criticised in recent years.

He made the comments to the agency's member states as a WHO-led team that spent four weeks in and around Wuhan, China, in January and February released its final report to the public.
