  • AstraZeneca's initial EU delivery volumes of COVID-19 vaccine to fall short

    Europe's COVID-19 vaccination drive was dealt another blow on Friday when AstraZeneca said initial deliveries to the region will fall short of the targeted volumes because of a production glitch. "Initial volumes will be lower than originally anticipated due to reduced yields at a manufacturing site within our European supply chain," a company spokesman said in a written statement, declining to provide details. The slippage hits a European immunisation campaign that has already been hampered by a temporary shortfall in the supply chain of vaccine developers Pfizer and BioNTech, who are retooling a site in Belgium to boost output.

New UK testing entry rules: everything you need to know Sign up to the Telegraph Travel newsletter Spain's tourism minister has said the country wants to "reactivate tourism" as soon as possible, clarifying reports that it may not full reopen to holidaymakers until after summer. Reyes Maroto, minister of industry, trade and tourism, said on Friday that the availability of vaccines and the beginning of vaccination programmes in many countries gave hope of immunising the majority of the population so that they are in a position to travel safely. She added: "Our priority in 2021 is to reactivate tourism and resume safe mobility on a global scale as soon as possible. "We are working to adopt a common framework of a series of planned actions to give confidence to tourists. We hope that at the end of spring and especially during the summer, international travel will resume and travellers will choose Spain as their destination." Ms Maroto's statement follows comments from Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez who said on Wednesday that "only mass vaccination will open the way to the normality we want." Speaking at the meeting of the Executive Council of the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), held in Madrid, Mr Sanchez said: "We are already the ninth country in the world in the vaccination process and one of the first countries in Europe. "And we are going to advance with the vaccination at the highest rate until reaching 70 per cent of the population with immunity by the end of the summer. This will allow Spain to be progressively better prepared to receive international tourists." Scroll down for the latest travel updates.

  • Joe Biden's call for unity is being undermined by the rush to erase Donald Trump from history

    So much for the grand promise of unity. Joe Biden's rush to erase Donald Trump from history delivered a forceful poke in the eye - some would say worse - to the 74 million people who voted for the other guy. Ironically, while the US Capitol riots were a disaster for Mr Trump and his legacy, they have also undermined Mr Biden's chances of bringing the country together in a post-Trump world. Cheered on by an increasingly noisy left wing of the Democrat party, demanding that all things Trump be cancelled, the new president spent his first hours in office doing just that. He is using everything available to him under his executive powers - what he can do without the approval of Congress - to wipe clean the last four years. But in doing so there has been no attempt to offer an olive branch to Republican voters, or their representatives in Congress. Senior Republicans have been taken aback by the extent of Mr Biden's opening measures, especially on immigration and climate change. Some took it as confirmation of their fears that the new president, a moderate Democrat, would end up a passenger in a party careering left. Mr Biden promised Mr Trump's voters he would work for them too. But so for there is little sign of it. And Republicans in Congress are nervous.

  • New China swine fever strains point to unlicensed vaccines

    A new form of African swine fever identified in Chinese pig farms is most likely caused by illicit vaccines, industry insiders say, a fresh blow to the world's largest pork producer, still recovering from a devastating epidemic of the virus. Two new strains of African swine fever have infected more than 1,000 sows on several farms owned by New Hope Liuhe, China's fourth-largest producer, as well as pigs being fattened for the firm by contract farmers, said Yan Zhichun, the company's chief science officer. Though the strains, which are missing one or two key genes present in the wild African swine fever virus, don't kill pigs like the disease that ravaged China's farms in 2018 and 2019, they cause a chronic condition that reduces the number of healthy piglets born, Yan told Reuters.
