July 6, 2021: Florida condo collapse, Storm Elsa, UK COVID rules, Japan landslide, Pfizer’s efficacy

Five stories to know for July 6:

1. The death toll from a collapsed Miami-area condominium rose to 28 after the controlled demolition of the remainder of the building on Sunday night enabled rescuers to expand their search.

2. Tropical Storm Elsa was over the Florida Straits early on Tuesday and is expected to moved towards the west coast of the state after dumping heavy rain over Cuba.

3. UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson set out plans to end social and economic COVID-19 restrictions in England in two weeks' time.

4. Rescuers in Japan waded through mud, rock and splintered wood in search of 24 people still missing after heavy rain triggered massive landslides in the seaside city of Atami three days ago, killing four people.

5. Israel reported a decrease in the effectiveness of the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine in preventing infections and symptomatic illness but said it remained highly effective in preventing serious illness.
