Joe Biden has won the state-by-state Electoral College vote that formally determines the US presidency, in effect ending Donald Trump's floundering campaign to overturn his loss in the November election; millions more people in England are set to move into the toughest Covid restrictions after government ministers warned that a new Covid strain of the virus may be linked to a rise in infections; and we hear from the Netherlands which is about to enter its toughest lockdown yet including over Christmas and the New Year.
