Newsday

Available for over a year

Today Olaf Scholz takes over as Germany's new leader and is expected to address the Bundestag to set out his government's plans for the next four years. We mark one year since a patient was first vaccinated against Covid-19. And we look at the reaction here in the UK to the reports that staff in Downing Street last Christmas had a party, when London was under strict Covid restrictions.
