(CNN) — To say the past year has been a difficult one for people across the globe is something of an understatement.
Not only has the Covid-19 pandemic resulted in the deaths of over 2.6 million people worldwide, it's also led to a massive shake up in everyday life for many of us.
But despite the devastating events of the last 12 months and the resulting decline in mental health in a number of destinations, there's been no change at the top spot when it comes to ranking the happiest country in the world.
For the fourth year running, Finland has come out on top in the annual list powered by data from the Gallup World Poll, with Iceland, Denmark, Switzerland, and the Netherlands following in second, third, fourth and fifth position respectively.

Genetics may free a woman convicted of killing her 4 babies and help other parents explain the unexplainable
(CNN)Kathleen Folbigg has spent the past 18 years in prison for one of the most horrific crimes imaginable: killing all four of her babies.
But new scientific evidence suggests that's not what happened.
Genomic testing shows at least two of the Australian's babies likely died from a previously undiscovered genetic mutation that led to heart complications -- meaning she may have been wrongfully imprisoned for almost two decades.
The finding has prompted 90 scientists -- including two Australian Nobel Laureates -- to ask the governor of New South Wales to pardon Folbigg and let her walk free. If that happens, Folbigg's case will be one of the worst miscarriages of justice in Australian history.
The ramifications don't end there.
While scientists are still learning about the causes of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) -- an umbrella term for when children die suddenly from unexplained causes -- the findings in Folbigg's case may help other parents who are grieving the unexpected loss of their own children.

PETALING JAYA: The office of a Selangor assemblyman has lodged a police report, urging authorities to investigate a claim that RM500 million had been paid to a political party through a high-profile lawyer.
In the report lodged at the Dang Wangi police station on March 12, Kuang assemblyman Sallehudin Amiruddin claimed the money was a commission for helping Putrajaya reach a settlement with Goldman Sachs.
The allegation had gone viral on social media last week.
In a statement, Sallehudin said the message that went viral claimed that the money would be used for the 15th general election.

PETALING JAYA: An anti-graft group has urged the government and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to provide updates on its investigation on Kuala Langat MP Xavier Jayakumar over alleged corruption.
The Center to Combat Corruption & Cronyism (C4 Center) said the status of the case was now “up in the air”, following Xavier’s resignation from PKR to support the Perikatan Nasional (PN) administration.
It said staying silent on the case would only reinforce speculation that Xavier was free of prosecution now that he backed the government.
It was reported that on Feb 24, MACC chief commissioner Azam Baki had confirmed that the anti-graft agency was also investigating Xavier, following the arrest of his close associate MA Tinagaran a week before.

- The first high-level gathering of U.S. and Chinese officials under President Joe Biden kicked off with an exchange of insults at a pre-meeting press event Thursday, according to NBC News.
- The two-day talks are set to conclude Friday.
- A planned four-minute photo session for the officials to address reporters ended up lasting one hour and 15 minutes due to a frothy exchange, according to NBC News
BEIJING — The first high-level gathering of U.S. and Chinese officials under President Joe Biden kicked off with an exchange of insults at a pre-meeting press event in Alaska on Thursday.
A planned four-minute photo session for the officials to address reporters ended up lasting one hour and 15 minutes due to a frothy exchange, according to NBC News. Both the Chinese and U.S. side kept calling the reporters back into the room so they could add remarks.
Expectations were already low for the meeting in Anchorage, Alaska with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Yang Jiechi, director of the Central Foreign Affairs Commission of the Chinese Communist Party.
In his opening remarks, Blinken said the U.S. would discuss its “deep concerns with actions by China, including in Xinjiang, Hong Kong, Taiwan, cyber attacks on the United States, economic coercion toward our allies.”
