  • Exclusive: Mass testing of entire regions considered as ministers signal return to tiers in March

    Mass testing of entire regions is being considered by ministers to help get the country out of lockdown, it has emerged, as Dominic Raab said restrictions could start to be eased in March. The Foreign Secretary said that by the "early spring, hopefully March" some restrictions would be lifted "gradually" so the country could "get back to normal”. He warned it would not be a “big bang” end to lockdown but a return to tiers depending on the level of Covid admissions in hospitals, death rates and hitting targets on vaccinating the over 50s and vulnerable by early spring. The Telegraph understands mass testing could be used to swiftly move the worst-infected areas down the tiers. One idea under consideration is to send out home testing kits, known as lateral flow tests, to every household in an entire region so the population could be tested within a week.

  • British lawyer set to prosecute Hong Kong democracy campaigners called 'mercenary' by Dominic Raab

    A British lawyer set to prosecute Hong Kong democracy campaigners has been slated by Dominic Raab for being "mercenary". It comes after it was recently revealed that David Perry QC is being brought in to handle the trial of Jimmy Lai, a publisher and high-profile critic of the Chinese state, and eight other campaigners accused of organising an illegal anti-government march. The Foreign Secretary said he did not understand how any British lawyer could in "good conscience" prosecute a case applying the controversial national security law in Hong Kong. Mr Raab said: "There's no doubt in my mind that under the bar code of ethics a case like this could be resisted and, frankly, I think people watching this would regard it as pretty mercenary to be taking up that kind of case." He said he did not understand how anyone in “good conscience, from the world-leading legal profession that we have, would take a case where they will have to apply the national security legislation at the behest of the authorities in Beijing, which is directly violating, undermining the freedom of the people of Hong Kong, and I understand, in the case of Mr Perry, in relation to the pro-democracy activists”. He added: "From Beijing's point of view, this would be a serious PR coup."

    Billionaire Richard Branson’s Virgin Orbit reached space for the first time on Sunday with a successful test of its air-launched rocket, delivering ten NASA satellites to orbit and achieving a key milestone after aborting the rocket’s first test launch last year. "According to telemetry, LauncherOne has reached orbit!" the company announced on Twitter during the test mission, dubbed Launch Demo 2.

  • British Army establishing 80 new vaccine centres in Scotland amid concern English rollout is faster

    The British Army is establishing 80 new vaccine centres in Scotland from Monday, the Defence Secretary has announced after official figures suggested the rollout is far faster in England. As part of the largest peacetime resilience operation even undertaken by the UK Armed Forces, 98 soldiers will support NHS Scotland over the next 28 days. The soldiers, mainly from the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards based at Leuchars in Fife, have been organised into 11 vaccination centre set-up teams. They will use their logistical, organisational and clinical expertise to establish the centres, before handing them over to NHS Scotland to deliver the vaccination programme. Ben Wallace, the Defence Secretary, said their involvement will free up NHS Scotland and councils to focus on administering the initial 900,000 doses the UK Government has allocated to Scotland this month. Matt Hancock, the UK Health Secretary, said more than 3.5 million people across the UK had already been vaccinated and "this is rapidly increasing every day as more vaccine sites open."

  • Duke of York's adviser contacted campaigner who claims Virginia Roberts photograph was doctored

    The Duke of York’s adviser reached out to an online campaigner who claimed to have evidence the photograph with Virginia Roberts was doctored, it has been reported. Mark Gallagher, the Duke’s crisis management specialist, is said to have made contact with Molly Skye Brown who publicly alleges that Ms Roberts is not a victim but a “prostitute” who “trafficked” others. Ms Brown, who has attacked Ms Roberts on social networking site Twitter for a number of months, was said to have first been approached by a close aide of the Duchess of York, Antonia Marshall, who thanked her for her “online support”. In screenshots of the conversation, which Ms Brown passed to the Mail on Sunday, Ms Marshall is alleged to have offered a meeting with the Duchess in order to gain her support and said she would pass on her greetings to the Queen. The possibility of setting up a fake Twitter account to ensnare the woman they suspect of altering the now infamous picture of the Duke with his arm around Epstein’s sex slave was discussed, it is claimed. Ms Roberts, who now goes by her married name Giuffre, claims she was trafficked to the UK in 2001 by Epstein and alleged that she was forced to have sex with the Duke on three occasions in 2001 and 2002, when she was 17. She maintains that the photograph was taken in 2001. The Duke denies that he had any sexual relations with her. Ms Brown, 42, a former teen beauty queen from Florida who says when she was 14 Ghislaine Maxwell tried to recruit her as a masseuse, alleged she passed on “some evidence” that the image was doctored and then passed the exchanges on to the FBI. Ms Roberts publicly denied Ms Brown’s allegations and said that she “blocked her because of her widespread lies”.
