Covid-19: new vaccine approved in the UK

Newsday

Available for over a year

UK Covid-19: with a record 53,000 cases registered in one day, is the faster spreading new variant of the virus out of control in Britain as a new vaccine is approved for general use? There's a late night debate in the Argentinian Senate - it's past 4am in Buenos Aires - where Senators are about to vote on a law that would legalise abortion and be the first of its kind in Latin America. We talk to the Red Cross in Croatia after yesterday's 6.4 magnitude earthquake which caused death and destruction in the central part of the country.
