MPs say NHS Test and Trace appears to have failed to achieve its stated aim of preventing lockdowns in England.

The Public Accounts Committee said its £37bn budget was "unimaginable" and warned the taxpayer could not be treated like an "ATM machine"

But Boris Johnson defends the programme, saying it has helped reopen schools.

The PM also defends the proposed 1% pay rise for NHS staff, adding that the government had already boosted nurses' starting pay.

A fresh row has broken out between the UK and the EU over exporting vaccines made in the UK

European Council President Charles Michel wrongly claimed the UK had an "outright ban" on exports of jabs.

Health systems in most of Brazil's largest cities are close to collapse due to Covid-19 cases, a report warns.

Globally, there have now been more than 117 million recorded cases of Covid-19, and 2.6 million deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University.

A further 231 people have died with coronavirus in the UK, and there were 5,766 new infections recorded in the last 24 hours.
