Why is Britain the ONLY country in the world to approve Oxford's Covid jab? Denmark's top medical director fears UK's approval of game-changing jab was 'too fast'

Questions are being asked over the speed at which the UK managed to approve the 'game-changing' Oxford University/AstraZeneca jab. Yesterday, Britain became the first and only country to give the go ahead for the use of the vaccine, following rigorous trials which found no-one who was given the jab became seriously ill.  Dr June Raine, chief executive of the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency , said the jab had been under a 'rolling review', which sped up its delivery compared to a usually years-long process. But European scientists are sceptical at how quickly the regulator was able to sign it off for emergency use.  Thomas Senderovitz, director of the Danish Medicines Agency said: 'I am a little afraid that it has gone too fast for the English. I must say. Questions are being asked over the speed at which the UK managed to approve the 'game-changing' Oxford University/AstraZeneca jab. Pictured: A volunteer is administered the coronavirus

Emily Maitlis' BBC documentary on Dominic Cummings breached accuracy rules by suggesting the PM's ex-chief aide was prejudiced against Muslims, corporation finds

A BBC documentary about Dominic Cummings broke accuracy rules by implying that Boris Johnson's former chief aide was prejudiced against Muslims, the broadcaster's complaints unit has found.  Taking Control: The Dominic Cummings Story, presented by Emily Maitlis, risked misleading viewers by taking quotes from a paper by his think-tank about migration out of context, the unit said. The documentary reported from a paper titled 'How Demographic Decline and its financial consequences will sink the European Dream' published by Mr Cummings' New Frontiers Foundation in 2005.  The extract included in the programme stated:  'The consequences of economic stagnation coinciding with rising Muslim immigration cannot fill anyone familiar with European history with anything other than a sense of apprehension, at least, about the future of the Continent'.  According to the Editorial Complaints Unit , the quotation 'tended to support the impression' that Mr Cummings

Small but mighty! Moment a tiny Lada -once the butt of every car joke - transports a huge lorry cab on its roof with ease

This is the moment a tiny Lada - which was once the butt of every car joke - transports a huge lorry on its roof with ease.   The Lada Riva driver was spotted with the huge front of a juggernaut on top of his motor at traffic lights. In the bizarre footage, filmed in Tbilisi, Georgia, the traffic lights turn green and the tiny car sets off. The Lada Riva driver was spotted with the huge front of a juggernaut on top of his motor at traffic lights in Tbilisi, Georgia  The vehicle struggles to pick up much speed as it drives with the front of the truck balanced precariously on top.   The front of the juggernaut is twice the size of the little car, which shot to popularity in the UK during the 90s.    Despite driving slowly, the car manages to keep going with the giant object perched on top as cars speed past.   One person said: 'This is a real vehicle, not like the new plastic coffins.' Another added: 'Lada can handle everything and it's unbeatable!'  A third joked:

Massive coronavirus bungle in a popular tourist town as government officials render COVID-19 sewage samples useless by freezing them instead of refrigerating them - as the resident who exposed the debacle calls the mistake an 'epic mess'

Government officials collecting sewage samples from a trendy tourist hotspot to test for hidden cases of COVID-19 have mistakenly frozen the batch and rendered it completelty useless.      Specimens from Byron Bay sewage plants were sent to NSW Health to undergo testing to determine whether there were any undetected coronavirus cases in the shire.  But when they arrived at the lab, scientists discovered the samples were unusable after council workers had placed them in a freezer rather than a refrigerator.   Byron Bay has been left without COVID-19 sewage test results after government officials mistakenly froze  samples rendering them useless. The bungle comes as holidaymakers flock to the tourist hotspot to make the most of the summer holidays The debacle has left the shire without sewage testing results for about a month, North Coast Public Health director Paul Corben confirmed to the Gold Coast Bulletin. The blunder comes as a New South Wales remains on high alert amid a surge of n

Some things never change! Australia rings in 2021 with one of the most bizarre New Year's Eve celebrations EVER with Melburnians letting their hair (and masks) down while Sydneysiders are forced to watch on from home

Australians have farewelled a year many would rather forget with New Year's Eve celebrations held under circumstances which have never been seen before - and will hopefully never be seen again. A nation divided by coronavirus and arbitrary border closures was even more split last night as it welcomed 2021 with Melbourne seeing the year in with a bang due to its relaxed coronavirus restrictions while Sydney hummed with millions forced to watch the fireworks from home. Australians who normally flock to harbours, foreshores, riverbanks and beaches to savour million-dollar fireworks displays were instead watching on TV from their living rooms with only a lucky few getting ring-side seats.  While Sydney's world-famous harbour and bridge exploded with a seven-minute fireworks display at midnight the skies over Melbourne and Brisbane remained darkened but they made up for it in the party stakes with revellers north and south of NSW taking full advantage of relaxed coronavirus restrict
