Ministers are being urged to wait before giving scarce coronavirus jabs to people who have just recovered from the virus because they are immune for at least five months. A major study from Public Health England found last week that people who had caught coronavirus could be immune for at least five months. That would mean that many people who have recovered from coronavirus could be immune until the summer when far more vaccine doses are likely to be available. However, despite this, ministers told Parliament last week that vaccinations for people who have had Covid-19 should only be deferred for at least four weeks after the onset of symptoms. Health minister Nadhim Zahawi told MPs: "The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation are the independent experts who advise the Government on which vaccines the United Kingdom should use and provide advice on prioritisation at a population level. "Clinical decisions will be made for those who have suffered from a Covid-19 infection and it is likely that vaccination should be deferred until clinical recovery and at least four weeks after onset of symptoms."

The 46-year-old minister has so far shown no symptoms and will continue to work from home during a period of self-isolation, a statement from his ministry said. Leao's positive test result was announced more than 24 hours after he attended the meeting at the Belem Cultural Center on Friday to discuss Portugal's top priorities during its six-month EU presidency, which started this month.
Borussia Dortmund had to come from behind to rescue a 1-1 home draw against struggling Mainz 05 on Saturday that kept them in fourth place in the title race, four points off the top. Dortmund, who missed a late penalty, did everything right in the first half with close to 70 percent possession and 11 shots on goal, but they wasted a slew of chances and Jude Bellingham also hit the woodwork. Mainz struck with their first chance after the break as Levin Oztunali picked up the ball in midfield, charged towards the Dortmund goal, beat one defender and then released an unstoppable left-footed missile from 25 metres out.

Michail Antonio's early goal proved enough for West Ham United to beat a toothless Burnley 1-0 and move into the top eight in the Premier League at the London Stadium on Saturday. The powerhouse striker stabbed the ball home from close range in the ninth minute after Burnley defender James Tarkowski inexplicably failed to clear a cross. In line with COVID-19 guidelines Antonio opted for a solo celebration of his 40th Premier League goal for the club -- laying on his back and motioning as if swimming backstroke.
Leeds made an encouraging start, with Rodrigo inches away from connecting with Ezgjan Alioski's cross from the left in the seventh minute, but it was Brighton who went on to claim their first-ever top-flight victory at Elland Road. Maupay struck in the 17th minute, finishing off a flowing move started by Alexis Mac Allister, who burst into the Leeds box after a quick exchange of passes with Leandro Trossard before squaring the ball for the Frenchman to tap home.
Supporters of the Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni celebrated in the streets after he won a decisive re-election victory on Saturday (January 16). But his main rival Bobi Wine alleges widespread fraud. Calling on citizens to reject the result – labelling it a coup against the will of the people of Uganda. The singer-turned-lawmaker says his home in the capital, Kampala, is surrounded by hundreds of soldiers and that the military is blocking him from leaving. He spoke to Reuters by phone from his compound. “General Museveni is fabricating those results and that is why he has completely shut down the internet and switched off all our phone numbers, mine, my wife's and all the leaders of our party.” The army’s deputy spokesman told Reuters that security officers at Wine’s house were assessing threats he could face by going out. Museveni has been in power for 35 years. He campaigned for another term arguing his long experience in office makes him a good leader - promising to keep delivering stability and progress. Wine, whose real name is Robert Kyagulanyi, galvanized young Ugandans with his calls for political change. He pledged to end what he calls dictatorship and widespread corruption. Wine says he has video proof of voting fraud, and would share the videos as soon as internet connections were restored. Reuters has not independently verified Wine’s claims. The U.S. and the EU did not deploy observer teams. But the U.S. State Department’s top diplomat for Africa said in a tweet that the “electoral process has been fundamentally flawed”.
Ben Moseley serenades his newborn while playing guitar. What a heartwarming moment!
Whether it’s a coral sky shimmering in the reflections of the Oscar Niemeyer-built Mondadori building outside Milan, or the rubble and rust of an abandoned steel mine in the hinterlands north of the city, sensory experience is part of the Zegna show phenomenon. Alessandro Sartori, the house’s creative director, doesn’t so much proffer a catwalk show as curate a moment and a mood. So the new digital way of doing things, while we patiently await the vaccine roll out, doesn’t lend itself naturally to his way of messaging. That said, the brand has gone further than most in exploring the capabilities of a 2D presentation, and its autumn/winter 21 show came with a script entitled Re(set) and an immersive catwalk film of models wending their way around new, emerging areas of Milan.
