| Dear reader,
It is with great sadness that we received the news this morning of the death of Dame Vera Lynn. The lockdown has shown that she was as important a national icon as ever, even in her second century. Our obituary tells the full story of her life, how she became the forces’ sweetheart and her resurgence in popularity in recent years.
While the entire country has struggled with the lockdown, it is clear that the burden is not being born equally. Among the disparities is that of the pandemic’s effect on women. To shine a light on the issue, The Telegraph has launched a new Equality Check series in which we look at the unequal toll of Covid-19. Read more about it here.
With the world distracted by the coronavirus pandemic, China has been ramping up its activities in multiple disputed areas. On Monday, things turned violent as Chinese and Indian troops clashed in hand-to-hand combat high in the Himalayas. Far from an accidental and trivial skirmish, argues Kapil Komireddi, the fight marks a significant turning point for Asia and the West.
