PA Media A Covid vaccine has been offered to residents at every eligible care home in England, the NHS has announced. Prime Minister Boris Johnson described the achievement, expected to be confirmed by official figures on Monday, as a "crucial milestone". A target of 15 February has been set for the UK to vaccinate care home residents and carers, people over 70 and frontline care workers. On Saturday a record 598,389 first jabs were given across the UK. It means nearly nine million people have received the first dose of a vaccine, with around 490,000 having received two jabs. NHS England said more than 10,000 care homes with older residents had been offered vaccines, although a "small remainder" of homes had visits deferred by local public health directors for safety reasons during local outbreaks. These will be visited by vaccinators as soon as NHS staff are allowed to do so, it said. The Joint Committee on Vaccinations...

Reuters Aung San Suu Kyi, leader of Myanmar's governing National League for Democracy (NLD) party, has been arrested, the spokesman for the party said. It comes amid tensions between the civilian government and the military, stoking fears of a coup. The NLD won enough seats in parliament to form a government in November, but the army says the vote was fraudulent. The army has called on the government to postpone convening parliament, which was due to take place on Monday. Spokesman Myo Nyunt told the Reuters news agency by phone that Ms Suu Kyi, President Win Myint and other leaders had been "taken" in the early hours of the morning. "I want to tell our people not to respond rashly and I want them to act according to the law," he said, adding he also expected to be detained. Aung San Suu Kyi: Democracy icon who fell from grace The BBC's South East Asia correspondent, Jonathan Head, says there are soldiers on th...

Reuters The EU says UK-Swedish drug firm AstraZeneca will now supply an additional 9 million Covid vaccine doses by March, after days of criticism of the bloc's vaccination programme. Commission President Ursula Von Der Leyen said it was a "step forward". But the 40m doses now expected are still only about half of what had been hoped, amid continuing supply problems. The Commission has been involved in a much-criticised row with both the UK and AstraZeneca this week. In particular it was condemned over its threat to put checks on the Northern Ireland border to prevent vaccines produced in the EU from reaching the UK. The border was one of the most difficult problems to overcome in the recently agreed Brexit deal, following the UK's departure from the EU. The EU was angry that Britain was getting its UK-made contracted supplies from AstraZeneca while it suffered a shortfall. So the bloc announced it was introducing export controls...

PA Media A record 598,389 people were given their first coronavirus vaccination in one day across the UK on Saturday, government figures show. As of Saturday a total of 8,977,329 people had received a jab, and 491,053 of those have had a second dose. Health Secretary Matt Hancock said he was "delighted", adding each vaccine "brings us one step closer to normal". However, a further 587 deaths within 28 days of a positive Covid test were reported on Sunday. It takes the UK's total by that measure to 106,158, although the number of reported deaths tends to be lower over the weekend.

Hong Kong residents will be able from Sunday to apply for the special visa program offered by the U.K. that will enable them to live, work and study in the country for five years — with a possible path to citizenship. The program, announced last year, has been denounced by China as a violation of international law and an interference in China’s domestic affairs. The U.K. government observed last year that the vote of a new security law increasing the powers of Beijing in Hong Kong was a violation of the 1997 handover agreement. The program is open to an estimated 3 million residents with British National (Overseas) status and their dependents, but the U.K. Home Office estimates that a little over 300,000 Hong Kongers will take advantage of it in the next five years. “I am immensely proud that we have brought in this new route for Hong Kong BN(O)s to live, work and make their home in our country,” Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Friday. China said on Friday that it would ...

Ending the current coronavirus lockdown must happen "very slowly, very cautiously", Public Health England's Covid strategy chief has said. Dr Susan Hopkins said the focus should be on getting people vaccinated and preventing another wave of infections. She told the BBC's Andrew Marr: "I hope that this summer will be similar to last summer... and that will allow us to do things that feel more normal." Meanwhile, Matt Hancock predicted "a happy and free Great British summer". But the health secretary warned of a "a tough few months" as national restrictions continue across the UK while vaccinations are administered. "We have to follow the data, we have to see the impact of the vaccine on the ground. It's a difficult balance: we've got to move as fast as we can but in such a way that keeps people safe," he told BBC Politics East. Hospitals 'stable' but 'another hard...

EPA The situation in hospitals has "stabilised" and staff are no longer having to plan for extra capacity, an intensive care doctor says. But Rupert Pearse, from the Intensive Care Society, said it was going to be "another very hard year" and warned of the mental health impact on NHS staff. "I've never been in the Army but I imagine it's a little bit like a second tour of duty," he said. The second wave has seen higher numbers of Covid patients in UK hospitals. There are currently 34,783 people in hospital in the UK . In the peak of the first wave in April 2020 there were 21,684 Covid patients in hospital. There are 3,832 people on ventilators, according to the latest government data. Are Covid patients getting younger?
