Pfizer/BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine approved for use in the UK

The UK has become the first country in the world to approve a coronavirus vaccine and Britain's medicines regulator says the jab is safe to be rolled out. Also: leading pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong have been jailed for their involvement in mass protests last year, and Singapore grants regulatory approval to lab-grown meat.
