Covid could cost children £350bn in earnings through lost learning, says IFS
Report says children repeating a year of school should be considered as part of radical catch-up efforts
Today’s children face losing £350bn in lifetime earnings unless the UK’s governments invest in radical catch-up efforts when the pandemic is over, according to a report by the Institute for Fiscal Studies.
The IFS is urging policymakers to consider options including nearly nine million children repeating a year of schooling, the use of large-scale tuition in summer holidays and extended hours to make up for the classroom time lost during the Covid-19 lockdowns.

'I couldn't be prouder': Swampy and 16-year-old son in HS2 tunnel protest
Veteran campaigner and teenager join environmental activists to protest against rail project
Veteran environmental activist Dan Hooper, known as Swampy, who is one of nine protesters in a tunnel in central London to raise the alarm about the environmental destruction they believe the high speed rail project HS2 will cause, is in the tunnel with his 16-year-old son, it has emerged.
The activists have been in the tunnel close to Euston station since Tuesday to raise awareness of the climate emergency and to try to halt work on the HS2 project which is under way in the Euston area. They argue that many ancient woodlands will be destroyed by the project. HS2 says it is planting 7m new trees.

Coronavirus live news: EU wants 70% of adults vaccinated by end of summer; Israel extends Covid lockdown
EU aims to vaccinate 70% of adults by the end of summer; WHO mission at ground-zero Wuhan market; Israel extends lockdown as Covid variants offset vaccination drive
- Expert warns US to brace for virulent Covid strain
- UK Covid patients are dying due to unfounded fears about ventilators
- Biden likely to bypass Republicans on Covid stimulus aid after lowball offer
- See all our coronavirus coverage
A leading infectious disease expert predicted on Sunday that the deadlier British variant of Covid-19 will become the dominant strain of the virus in the US and could hit the country like a hurricane.
The worrying forecast came as the total of confirmed infections in the US passed the 26m mark, with the death toll advancing steadily towards the grim milestone of half a million after on Sunday surpassing the total of 440,000, by far the highest in the world according to data gathered by the Johns Hopkins University coronavirus research center.

A World Health Organization team has visited the Huanan food market in Wuhan as part of its fieldwork in a politically sensitive mission to investigate the origins of the pandemic, AFP reports.
Their visit is being tightly controlled, and the WHO has already lowered expectations of pinpointing the source of the virus, which is known to have infected more than 102 million people so far with over 2.2 million deaths.

NHS 'putting lives at risk' by not recording patients who miss Covid vaccination
Local health officials can tackle reasons for no-shows, but they need good data, says public health leader
The NHS has been warned it is putting lives at risk after the service admitted it was not collecting data on who was not accepting invitations to be vaccinated and why.
Early research has shown vaccine take-up was twice as high among white people compared with black people in the first five weeks of the rollout, with lower rates among people with severe mental illness, dementia and learning disabilities.

UK may help EU before domestic vaccination programme complete, says Liz Truss
Trade secretary had previously hinted supplies may not be diverted until UK population was vaccinated
The UK could help the EU and other nations with coronavirus vaccine supplies even before the domestic vaccination programme has been completed, the international trade secretary, Liz Truss, has said.
As ministers sought to smooth relations with Brussels after the EU’s much-criticised and swiftly rescinded decision to impose a vaccine border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, Truss sought to stress the need for international cooperation.

Almost 600,000 people in the UK were vaccinated against Covid-19 on Saturday, a daily record for the vaccine programme.
Uptake was particularly strong in England, with almost 540,000 people receiving their first vaccination. In Wales, just over 25,000 people got their initial jab, along with almost 23,000 in Scotland and just over 10,500 in Northern Ireland.

The History of Sketch Comedy review – Keegan-Michael Key's love letter to laughter
Podcast
The comic actor’s exuberant 10-part history unpicks the nuts-and-bolts of what makes sketches funny, from overlooked past acts to SNL, and British favourites including the Two Ronnies
“The sexy dangerous first cousin of standup,” Keegan-Michael Key calls sketch comedy, which feels like a stretch. But then, no one can accuse Key of understatement. His new audio series The History of Sketch Comedy brims with enthusiasm for an art form that, far from sexiness, is often sidelined as the runt of the comedy litter. No longer, if Key has his way. This 10-part podcast demonstrates not only the riches that strew the history of short-form comedy, but the art form’s pedigree as direct descendant of Greek theatre, court jesters and commedia dell’arte.
I didn’t see that coming – but then, there’s plenty in Key’s series that few of us would associate with sketch comedy. The opening two episodes, on the ancient and medieval worlds, are highly digressive and largely untroubled by anything you or I would recognise as sketch. (They’d be equally relevant to a history of comedy or standup more widely.) Each episode also tracks Key’s own career through sketch, improv and theatre. As one half of hit sketch pairing Key and Peele (his sidekick Jordan Peele is now an Oscar-nominated film-maker), he uses a handful of his own sketches – the fantastic Substitute Teacher, for example – as case studies.

Rhod Gilbert: Stand Up to Infertility review – a very male taboo
The Welsh comedian explores a personal subject in this one-off documentary. But can he persuade other men to do the same?
“I suffer a condition,” says Rhod Gilbert in Rhod Gilbert: Stand Up to Infertility (BBC Two), “called shit jizz.” Ninety eight per cent of his sperm don’t swim straight. That’s a lot of responsibility for the two per cent. I’m not saying there is a conspiracy to prevent men confronting this issue, but how typical that, when I typed those words, autocorrect changed it to “shit jazz”.
Given that, as we learn, about 500m sperm are released each time the Welsh funnyman ejaculates, you would have thought the 10m straight shooters would be enough to impregnate his wife, Sian. The “you would have thought” in the last sentence confirms not only that I have no medical training, but suffer from the real curse of modern men: complacent oaf syndrome.

Hopes that the British & Irish Lions Tests against South Africa could take place this summer, and with fans in attendance, look a little brighter with Rugby Australia making an unexpected offer to host the series.
The South African variant of Covid-19 means the tour is unlikely to go ahead in that country, especially with fans, and there has been speculation that the games may be played at stadiums in the UK and Ireland instead, even in the absence of supporters.

Health authorities in the Australian state of Victoria are investigating an “indeterminate” test result.
Victoria notched up its 25th day in a row without a community transmission coronavirus case on Sunday, but one test has not yet been confirmed as negative.
The state’s health department said it would provide more information on the potential case later on Sunday.
There were 10,681 tests undertaken in Victoria on Saturday.
DHHS received a notification of an indeterminate result last night. Follow up tests are underway and precautionary public health actions are being taken.
There will be an update on the case later today.
Australia’s health minister says the European Union’s dramatic decision to impose export controls on vaccine manufacturers is “not expected to affect Australia”.
The EU has imposed sweeping powers that would allow it to block Covid-19 vaccine shipments from the bloc and Australia was left off a list of 120 nations exempt from the measures.
Our advice is that our vaccine supply and guidance remains on track, those dates that we provided earlier in the week followed discussions with country heads of Pfizer and AstraZeneca and took into account supply and regulatory conditions within Europe and had been reaffirmed in the last 24 hours. The guidance from the EU is provisional and preliminary at this stage, so I will remain cautious, but that guidance is that the EU regulatory steps are not aimed at Australia, and not expected to affect Australia.

Mighty Amazon looks all but unassailable as Covid continues
Jeff Bezos’s company is set for sales topping $100bn last quarter, and while rivals are nibbling, its position looks secure
The earliest references to the “one-stop shop” emerged during the first decades of 20th century as the fast-growing US economy spurred rapid retail innovation. A single location for various products provides obvious benefits: removing the hassle of travelling around town to visit different stores.
Jeff Bezos redefined that logic for the internet age, making Amazon a dominant (and perhaps ambivalent) force first in selling books, and then in pretty much everything else. Before 2020 Amazon was a phenomenon, but the coronavirus pandemic has made it all but ubiquitous.

Another vaccine against Covid, trialled in the UK and bought by the government, has been shown to be nearly 90% effective and work against the UK and South African variants of the virus.
The UK vaccines taskforce has bought 60m doses of the Novavax vaccine, one of seven in its portfolio, and it will be manufactured on Teesside in the UK. If it is given emergency authorisation by the UK regulator, it could boost the country’s immunisation programme and solve the potential problems over the supply of the other two vaccines currently in use.

Not only are people from these groups often poorer and more likely to suffer from underlying health conditions, they are also more likely to report worse treatment when visiting their GP surgery, and insufficient support from local services, such as housing and social care.

'I was appalled to be tarred as misogynist': Variety critic hits back at Carey Mulligan's sexism accusations

Dennis Harvey, the veteran film critic whose review of Promising Young Woman has sparked a furore across the industry, has hit back at accusations of misogyny amid calls for Variety to fire him.
Harvey’s review was published more than a year ago, following the film’s premiere at the Sundance film festival. Largely positive, it nonetheless queried the central casting, saying that while “a fine actress” Mulligan “seems a bit of an odd choice as this admittedly many-layered apparent femme fatale”.
