People were told to work from home unless it’s impossible to do so, and leave home only for essential trips. As of Monday, there were 26,626 COVID-19 patients in hospitals in England, an increase of more than 30% from a week ago. Britain has secured the rights to 100 million doses of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine, which is cheaper and easier to use than some of its rivals. Brian Pinker, an 82-year-old dialysis patient, received the first Oxford-AstraZeneca shot early Monday at Oxford University Hospital. While two doses are required to fully protect against COVID-19, both vaccines provide high levels of protection after the first dose, the committee said.

The United States will require airline passengers from Britain to get a negative COVID-19 test before their flight, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced late Thursday, Dec. 24. The U.S. is the latest country to announce new travel restrictions because of a new variant of the coronavirus that is spreading in Britain. (Gareth Fuller/PA via AP)ATLANTA – The United States will require airline passengers from Britain to get a negative COVID-19 test before their flight, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced late Thursday. The agency said because of travel restrictions in place since March, air travel to the U.S. from the U.K. is already down by 90%. Andrew Cuomo said three airlines with flights from London to New York -- British Airways, Delta and Virgin Atlantic -- had agreed to require passengers to take a COVID-19 test before getting on the plane.

“It’s a separate lineage from the U.K. and South Africa,” the head of the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, John Nkengasong, told reporters. He said the Nigeria CDC and the African Center of Excellence for Genomics of Infectious Diseases would analyze more samples. The new virus variant in South Africa is now the predominant one there, Nkengasong said, as confirmed infections in the country approach 1 million. “We believe this mutation will not have an effect” on the deployment of COVID-19 vaccines to the continent, he said of the South Africa variant. Infections across the continent have risen 10.9% over the past four weeks, the Africa CDC director said, including a 52% increase in Nigeria and 40% increase in South Africa.

Shoppers wear face masks as they walk in Regent Street, ahead of the new Tier-4 restriction measures, in London, Saturday, Dec. 19, 2020. Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson says Christmas gatherings cannot go ahead and non-essential shops must close in London and much of southern England as he imposed a new, higher level of coronavirus restrictions to curb rapidly spreading infections. “It is with a very heavy heart that I must tell you we cannot proceed with Christmas as planned,” Johnson said. While London fared relatively well in controlling the virus throughout the fall, the city now has the highest infection rates in England. The move will largely scrap Christmas gatherings in line with the rules for southern England.

DETROIT – As Pfizer’s vaccine moves closer to rolling out, concerns remain about the allergic reactions suffered by two U.K. health care workers. The Food and Drug Administration’s vaccine advisory committee pushed Pfizer for more safety considerations that go beyond the clinical trial.

On Friday, Nov. 13, 2020, Britains Prison Service said that serial killer Peter Sutcliffe _ known as the Yorkshire Ripper died in the hospital. (AP Photo, files)LONDON – The British serial killer known as the “Yorkshire Ripper” died Friday, reviving unsettling memories of a killing spree that bred fear across northern England in the late 1970s. Peter Sutcliffe was serving a life sentence for the killings of 13 women in Yorkshire and northwest England between 1975 and 1980. “As a child in West Yorkshire, when he was on his reign of terror, I can say his activities caused fear throughout the region,” Booth said.

There would be 90 volunteers, ages 18 through 30 years old, who would be given tiny amounts -- by nose -- of COVID-19.

The government is negotiating with the leaders of Manchester, Lancashire and other communities in northern England about moving into the top risk tier, which would require the closure of many businesses. The opposition Labour Party’s spokesman on health issues, Jonathan Ashworth, described the measures as inadequate to stem the exponential growth of the virus. Hancock said discussions were continuing with Greater Manchester and Lancashire about moving those communities into the government’s highest risk tier. Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham once again rejected government pressure to accept the higher risk rating without further financial support. “They are willing to sacrifice jobs and businesses here to try and save them elsewhere,″ a visibly furious Burnham said.

The handling of the coronavirus pandemic by Scottish leader Nicola Sturgeon has drawn praise, in contrast to the sometimes-chaotic approach of U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson. That has catapulted the idea of Scottish independence from the U.K. back up the political agenda. The four parts of the U.K. England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland acted together to impose a nationwide lockdown in March. If Sturgeons Scottish National Party wins the anticipated majority, she is likely to demand a new independence referendum.

There is a growing body of evidence pointing to the fact that COVID-19 can have a serious impact on the heart. Other symptoms related to heart failure are swelling in the ankles, and weve seen some of the patients in the study presented with chest pain and other patients presented with palpitations. They were surprised to find that more than half of those patients had worrisome heart scans:55% of patients had abnormal changes to the way the heart was pumping blood. These COVID-19 patients were all referred to the study because heart complications were suspected. A prior coronavirus infection may be considered an additional risk factor down the road.

But this is not always true, especially for Chinese migrants. Italy's 'shadow' economyAccording to the UK government's 2018 annual report on modern slavery, China is the fourth-most common country of origin for victims of modern slavery in the UK, behind the UK itself, Albania and Vietnam. In 2017, 293 potential victims of modern slavery in the UK were reported to originate from China, the government said. But Dustmann added the number of illegal Chinese migrants in the UK is still small compared to those in Mediterranean countries such as Spain and Italy, mainly because it is more difficult to enter the UK. So why are so many Chinese citizens willing to take such risks?

A measure to eliminate air miles and "mileage runs" is one of a number of recommendations from the Committee on Climate Change. LONDON - Air miles programs should be banned and a levy on frequent flyers implemented in order to reduce carbon emissions from aviation, the UK government's climate advisory body has said in a new report. The measure is one of a number of recommendations from the Committee on Climate Change (CCC), which published its research Thursday on how the UK can meet its target of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. An air miles levy would be based on the number of miles flown by each passenger, penalizing those who fly the most while leaving the majority of people unaffected. Last week, International Airlines Group (IAG) -- which includes British Airways, Aer Lingus and Iberia -- promised to remove or offset all carbon emissions from its fleet of more than 570 aircraft by 2050.

Prince Harry denounced the 'bullying" media for conducting what he called a "ruthless campaign" against his wife.

Getty ImagesLONDON - Severe obesity has hit an all-time high among children in England in their last year of primary school, a government report has found. The NHS defines children's obesity by calculating their Body Mass Index (BMI), taking into account their sex and age. The findings come just a week after a report by the World Obesity Federation, which warned that there are 158 million obese children around the world. In absolute terms, the US is expected to have 17 million obese children by 2030, the largest number after China and India, the report found. "Combined overweight and obesity prevalence ranged from 41.5% for children living in the most deprived areas to 24.1% for children living in the least deprived areas," the report found.

CNN imageMENLO PARK, Calif. - US Attorney General William Barr and senior government officials from the UK and Australia are formally asking Facebook to give up on its plan to encrypt user messages across its platforms. The encryption debate, which pits tech companies that want to ensure user communications are private and secure against law enforcement's desire to access such messages, is decades old. "We respect and support the role law enforcement has in keeping people safe," a Facebook spokesperson said in a statement provided to CNN. "We strongly oppose government attempts to build backdoors because they would undermine the privacy and security of people everywhere." 'It would fundamentally compromise the security and privacy of encrypted communications on Facebook."

Two women a day are dying unnecessarily from heart attacks in England and Wales because of a gender gap in awareness, diagnosis and treatment, a leading health charity says. LONDON - Two women a day are dying unnecessarily from heart attacks in England and Wales because of a gender gap in awareness, diagnosis and treatment, a leading health charity says. The charity wants to end the misconception that heart attacks are a male disease and to encourage women to know the risks and symptoms -- twice as many women in the UK die of coronary heart disease than of breast cancer. One of the studies suggests that smoking, high blood pressure and diabetes increase the likelihood of heart attacks more in women than in men. Yet women are dying needlessly because heart attacks are often seen as a man's disease, and women don't receive the same standard of treatment as men.

Ian and Denise Feltham, a couple from the UK, made vacation plans based on an Airbnb listing for a property that apparently didn't exist. IBIZA, Spain - Ian and Denise Feltham, a couple from the UK, made vacation plans based on an Airbnb listing for a property that apparently didn't exist. The dog-friendly listing -- the Felthams were traveling with their two Yorkshire terriers -- seems to have been based on a real apartment. The Las Boas staff member called the Airbnb listing a "fake," saying no such property even exists among the 40 units we saw on Las Boas' website. Ian Feltham has confirmed to CNN that photos on Las Boas' website match photos posted with the Airbnb listing he and his wife booked.

LONDON - Skin-whitening creams can be as toxic as paint strippers and should be "avoided at all costs," the UK's Local Government Association has warned. Many skin-whitening products are banned in the UK due to harmful ingredients -- but recent seizures of banned products indicate they are still being sold in a booming industry, the LGA said in its press release. Skin-whitening creams with natural or non-harmful ingredients are legally allowed, but they are often expensive, driving up the demand for cheap and dangerous banned products, said the LGA. Company executives who are caught selling these banned products can be fined up to 20,000 pounds (about $24,500) and jailed for up to a year. But skin safety and health concerns aside, many critics say skin-whitening products are inherently problematic for furthering the racialized narrative of fair-skinned beauty.

(CNN) - A transgender man who gave birth with the help of fertility treatment lost his legal fight to be registered as the child's father, rather than its mother, in the UK High Court on Wednesday. Born female, Freddy McConnell transitioned to become a man and was legally recognized as male when he became pregnant in 2017, giving birth in 2018. The 32-year-old took legal action after a registrar told him that UK law required people who give birth to be registered as mothers on birth certificates. Whilst that person's gender is 'male,' their parental status, which derives from their biological role in giving birth, is that of 'mother.'" Existing legislation and UK and European human rights case law, McFarlane said, did not directly engage with the central question.

Willis said she learned of the Thomas Cook's collapse on Facebook before the flight, which was the operator's final flight according to Flight Radar. The couple had booked a wedding package with Thomas Cook last year. "There are no signs for Thomas Cook guests, and nobody mentioned anything at breakfast," he said. "But this is a partner hotel for Thomas Cook, so they've probably been informed they'll be paid by ATOL."

LONDON - UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has rejected accusations that he lied to the Queen over his controversial suspension of Parliament in the run-up to the Brexit deadline. Johnson was asked on Thursday if he had lied to the monarch, after a Scottish court ruled the day before that his government's advice to the Queen, which led to the five-week prorogation, was "unlawful." "Absolutely not," Johnson replied, according to the UK Press Association. "We need a Queen's Speech, we need to get on and do all sorts of things at a national level," Johnson added. The Scottish judges disagreed with the government, saying Wednesday that the suspension was motivated by the "improper purpose of stymying Parliament."

Stuart C. Wilson/Getty Images(CNN) - This week's British Airways strike has caused chaos for an estimated 280,000 passengers who were due to fly with the airline. All eight daily easyJet flights from Nice to London were sold out on Monday and Tuesday, the British Airways strike days. British Airways is selling return fares to Nice on other dates in September for 58 -- making this week's flights nearly 22 times as expensive. Ironically, the flight is sold as a British Airways flight, but operated by Air Belgium, so it is exempt from the strike action. A two-night trip to Tokyo, departing Monday, cost 2,704 ($3,341), going out on Japan Airlines in premium economy (economy was sold out) and returning Wednesday in economy on British Airways.

(CNN) - UK authorities seized almost 1.3 tons of heroin with a street value of 120 million ($148 million) from a container ship, in the nation's largest-ever bust involving the drug. The 1,297 kilogram haul would sell for 27 million at wholesale prices, but its value would rocket to 120 million at street level, the NCA said. "This is a record heroin seizure in the UK and one of the largest ever in Europe," said Matt Horne, NCA deputy director of investigations. That load, worth 40 million ($48 million) at street level, was removed and law enforcement tracked the container to Rotterdam via Antwerp. "NCA officers on the front line lead the fight against the serious and organized criminals who chase profits while dominating and intimidating communities," he said.

(CNN) - Europe is sweltering in intense heat, suffering through the latest heat wave in a summer that has seen at least 12 countries experience record-breaking temperatures. In June, a heat wave broke temperature records in eight countries, including France, the Czech Republic and Switzerland. A Eurostar train traveling from Belgium to London broke down on Wednesday, trapping passengers in 40 degrees Celsius heat, without air conditioning. Otto said that France took important mitigation measures after a heat wave in 2003 contributed to tens of thousands of premature deaths. These were activated during the June 2019 heat wave and measures including closing schools and setting up helplines reduced the impacts," he said.

Bruno Vincent/Getty Images(CNN) - About 4 million ($5 million) worth of gold was seized at London's Heathrow Airport by Border Force officers as part of an international investigation into a suspected South American drugs cartel. Border Force agents at Heathrow Airport subsequently moved in to detain the shipment when it arrived in the UK, based on intelligence provided by the NCA. Nick Jariwalla, Border Force Heathrow director, added that removing large amounts of money or gold from the control of criminal networks "hits them where they feel it most, in the pocket." The NCA and Heathrow's Border Force have previously uncovered large hauls in connection to international drugs trafficking from South America. In 2017, a Heathrow security worker was charged with attempting to import cocaine worth up to 480,000 ($600,120) into the UK from South America.

FreeImages.com/J-rod J(CNN) - There's more bad news for fans of sugary drinks such as soda and fruit juice. A new study has linked drinking just a small glass of a sugary drink per day -- 100 ml, about a third of a typical can of soda -- to an 18% increase in overall cancer risk and a 22% increase in risk for breast cancer. "High sugary drinks consumption is a risk factor for obesity and weight gain," she said, and, "obesity is in itself a risk factor for cancer." Touvier suggested that people should stick to public health guidelines that recommend limiting sugary drinks to a maximum of one glass a day. "For too long the nutri-myth of sweeteners being a health risk has remained in popular culture," she told the Science Media Centre in the UK.

Pixabay(CNN) - Rabbit rabbit! Others say "white rabbit," or repeat the word "rabbit" in some other quasi-ritualistic pattern, but the intent is always the same: To start the month on a good (rabbit's) foot. And supposedly, he also said rabbit, rabbit at the beginning of every month." The superstition probably got a boost in the 1990s, when kids' TV network Nickelodeon included mentions of "Rabbit Rabbit Day" in its programming. Whatever the reason, it's no stretch to see why it's "rabbit rabbit" and not "possum possum," or whatever.

(CNN) - Going back to the 1940s, radioactive iodine has been among the treatments for an overactive thyroid. But it has also been linked to cancers in other parts of the body down the line, especially when it's used in higher doses as a treatment for primary thyroid cancer. The research, funded by the National Cancer Institute, found a "modest" association between the amount of radioactive iodine absorbed by different organs and the collective risk of dying from a solid cancer of those organs. A previous analysis of the same study, published more than two decades ago, didn't find a significantly increased risk of total cancer mortality. An overactive thyroid, or hyperthyroidism, occurs when the gland produces too much of these hormones.
