UNITED NATIONS: After weeks of disagreement — especially between the United States and China — the UN Security Council was set to meet Thursday to discuss the coronavirus pandemic for the first time. Led by Germany, nine of the council´s 10 non-permanent members requested the closed-door meeting — a video conference to maintain social distancing — last week, fed up with the body´s inaction over the unprecedented global crisis. Talks are moving in the right direction, diplomats said, and Washington is no longer insisting UN language refer to the virus as coming from China, which had infuriated Beijing.
