The United Nations is concerned that a U.S. plan to blacklist Yemen's Houthi movement on Tuesday will hinder its efforts to assess a decaying oil tanker that is threatening to spill 1.1 million barrels of crude oil off the war-torn country's coast. The tanker Safer has been stranded off Yemen's Red Sea oil terminal of Ras Issa for more than five years, and U.N. officials have warned it could spill four times as much oil as the 1989 Exxon Valdez disaster off Alaska. A U.N. team, which includes a private company contracted by the world body to do the work, aims to travel to the tanker early next month.

Students could still be asked to sit test papers under plans put forward by the exams regulator, amid calls to protect teachers awarding grades from a backlash from disappointed parents. Ofqual on Friday confirmed plans to use teacher assessments to generate GCSE and A-level results this summer, with the watchdog proposing the use of exam papers to help them reach “objective decisions.” It also suggests that students could receive their A-level and GCSE results in early July, more than a month before results are usually handed out in mid to late August. The proposed timetable envisages teachers conducting assessments between May and early June, before submitting their grades to exam boards by the middle of June to undergo quality assurance. It comes on the back of a week of confusion as to whether exams would still go ahead, following the Prime Minister’s announcement that schools would be forced to close again during the third lockdown. After initially confirming that exams would be cancelled, Gavin Williamson, the Education Secretary, on Wednesday wrote to Ofqual asking it “explore the possibility of providing externally set tasks or papers".

The SNP's Health Secretary has apologised to Matt Hancock for publishing confidential vaccine supply figures amid intense Government fury the disclosure risked doses being diverted from the UK to other countries. Jeane Freeman said she regretted the Scottish Government publishing the detailed figures for weekly supplies, broken down by manufacturer, in its latest vaccine deployment blueprint. The Prime Minister and Mr Hancock are concerned that the disclosure will lead to vaccine manufacturers coming under pressure to give doses destined for the UK to other countries who have not secured such a good deal. Ms Freeman said she had apologised directly to Mr Hancock, the UK Health Secretary, and her counterparts in Wales and Northern Ireland for the "mistake" and noted the sensitive figures had been removed from the plan. However, they remained widely available on the internet. Her disclosure came only a day after an unrepentant Nicola Sturgeon said she was "not convinced" that publication of the figures on "transparency" grounds had jeopardised the UK's vaccine supplies. But Ms Freeman was last night facing an inquiry into whether she broke the ministerial code of conduct over the gaffe, and a separate incident in which she disclosed the sensitive location of a vaccine storage centre. The Scottish Tories wrote to the First Minister asking her to investigate Ms Freeman under a section of the code stating ministers must respect the "confidentiality and security" of government business.
Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte cycled over to the Royal Palace of Amsterdam on January 15 to formally offer the king his cabinet’s resignation, after investigations revealed thousands of child-welfare recipients had been wrongly accused of fraud.In a televised speech, Rutte told Dutch citizens that his government had failed the parents affected.“The rule of law must protect citizens from an all-powerful government, and that has gone horribly wrong here,” Rutte said, according to a transcript of his speech provided by Google. “At all levels, throughout the political-administrative-legal system, mistakes have been made that have resulted in great injustice to thousands of parents. But the political responsibility ultimately rests with the incumbent cabinet and nowhere else.”Rutte said the government’s priority would be financial compensation to the affected parents, and an overhaul of the country’s welfare systems. The prime minister said his government would continue in a “caretaker” role until elections take place in mid-March.Shortly after the speech, Rutte took his bicycle to travel to the Royal Palace of Amsterdam, where he said he would offer “further explanation” to King Willem-Alexander.
