Pressure on British PM over reports of a 2020 Christmas party

Newsday

Available for over a year

We look into the reaction to the reports of a Christmas party and other gatherings in late 2020 in Downing Street, the residence of the British Prime Minister, while London was under Covid restrictions. Pfizer has just announced that a three-shot course of its Covid vaccine was able to neutralise the new Omicron variant in a laboratory test. We assess the results and implications of this small scale test. And as the civil war in Ethiopia continues, the World Food Programme is suspending food distribution in some towns after its warehouses were looted.
