Vaccines supplies are back in the headlines with plans by the UK government to speak to the EU after it said it can “forbid" doses of the Oxford-AstraZeneca made on the continent being sold off to the UK. European leaders have faced criticism over the slow rollout of their programmes, which has so far seen less than 12% of their population receiving the vaccines, compared with nearly 40% in the UK.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has already told us that 41 million vaccine doses have been exported from the bloc to 33 countries in six weeks, with more than 10 million jabs going to the UK.
Doses made in a plant in a Dutch factory appear to be at the centre of this latest stumbling block, which seems to reflect growing frustration that the EU isn’t getting the supplies it expected from the manufacturer.
Prime Minster Boris Johnson hopes to speak to EU leaders ahead of a meeting to discuss a ban on exports to the UK later this week.
Despite obvious concerns over delays this could cause to the UK’s vaccine rollout plan, the government has continually reassured us supply issues would not affect the current roadmap for easing lockdown restrictions or the targets for administering jabs. But we’ll have to wait for these meetings to see what, if any, changes this means for us.

Officers have suffered broken bones and police vans were set alight as a protest in Bristol turned violent.There were fiery scenes at the “Kill the Bill” demonstration in the city centre where thousands turned up to protest against the Police and Crime Bill, which would give the police more powers to deal with non-violent demonstrations. Demonstrators scaled a police station, threw fireworks into the crowd and daubed graffiti on the walls. Home Secretary Priti Patel has described the events as "unacceptable".

Tens of thousands of people have been evacuated from the flooding following days of torrential rain across New South Wales in Australia. Rivers and dams have burst, roads are cut off, schools are shut and the “one-in-a-50-year event", as described by officials, may continue all week. Prime Minister Scott Morrison has offered funds to some 18,000 people forced to flee and the public has been urged to exercise caution.

A threat to ban AstraZeneca Covid vaccine exports to Britain dominates most of the front pages. The Times reports EU leaders are being warned by Britain “don’t start vaccine war” while the Daily Express takes aim with the headline “844,285 jabs in one day! That’s how to do it, EU”. Fiery scenes from the violent protest in Bristol are being carried in some of the papers including the Daily Telegraph and the Metro.

Take a look at this amateur stargazer’s pictures of the night sky captured from his garden, a loud sonic boom-type bang heard across parts of England turned out to be an "extremely rare" meteor known as a daytime fireball. And in another rarity watch the Sevilla goalie score a 94th-minute equaliser to rescue a point against Real Valladolid in La Liga.
