3—1 liverpool then, and in a season of twists and turns, the champions look to be getting their groove back. natalie pirks, bbc news. a 93—year—old holocaust survivor received his first covid jab from an army medic this week. it struck a chord, as the photo of his vaccination was shared thousands of times on social media. our special correspondent, lucy manning has the story. the tattoo on his arm shows 93—year—old herschel hershkovitz�*s faced death many times before. his auschwitz number. given a chance this week to extend life again, when vaccinated by a young british army medic, private maddy oliver. herschel lost seven siblings. he survived concentration camps, the death marches. still a teenager, he lost his sight from typhus after liberation and survived covid last month. now he has some protection.

his son, david, took the photo, which has been shared tens of thousands of times on social media, immensely grateful to the soldier who vaccinated his father in north—east london. i thank you very much for the vaccination you gave to my father. and, in the process of knocking out a virus, i've made you viral, how about that! your dad is such an amazing man, and been through so much. i think it wasjust inspiring, and it was so lovely i got to vaccinate such a lovely man. they had no idea the picture would resonate with so many. from private oliver's mum... ..to the brigadier in charge of the army's role in covid vaccinations. thousands of soldiers helping in the effort to get vaccines into arms. how do you feel he's been given this chance to hopefully extend his life? it is amazing. we talk about the difficulties and the terrible tragedy that has befallen many people.

yet, there is plenty of hope and light in it, just as my father has always said that there is light in his darkness. herschel hershkovic�*s outstretched arm, where the most terrible symbol of grief and pain meets hope. lucy manning, bbc news. that's it. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. have a very good night. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are former trade minister lord digbyjones and broadcaster henry bonsu. welcome. lovely to see you both. tomorrow's front pages,

starting with... the eu's vaccine situation is at crisis point, according to the financial times. the metro says nicola sturgeon is siding with the eu in the row by offering to help with supplies. the telegraph also leads on nicola sturgeon, saying her decision to publish vaccine data "jeopardised the uk supply". the guardian features a picture of russian opposition leader alexei navalny, whose appeal against his detention has been denied. former prime minister tony blair writes in the independent that global co—operation is needed as the vaccine row escalates. and the mail reports that 60 million more covid vaccines are set to be made in the uk by us firm novavax. so, let's begin. we will start off with that last story there, another shot in the arm for britain is how to daily mail is

describing this latest vaccine to get approval in the uk. and it is all good news which we desperately need. talk us through. we have potentially this fourth novavax vaccine following pfizer, oxford, madera going out in the spring, good news? . , h, ., news? excellent news. good evening eve one, news? excellent news. good evening everyone. good _ news? excellent news. good evening everyone, good evening, _ news? excellent news. good evening everyone, good evening, henry. - news? excellent news. good evening everyone, good evening, henry. hi. | everyone, good evening, henry. hi. good to be with you. the government and boris poss my enemies hate this. so many of the opposition do and quite a fewjournalists well. the leader in skeletal really hate it. half of brussels is going to hate it because they are politicising this pandemic. they are trying to seek political advantage out of this pandemic. and in brussels, they are trying to cover up the most

appallingly bad procurement going and the slowest. and what this is is great news. everybody watching this tonight regardless of political persuasion or regardless of situation can do nothing but be pleased about this. it is when we made in teesside so it's going to createjobs in teesside. it made in teesside so it's going to create jobs in teesside. it will be a british effort. it is nearly 90% effective. and novavax, it's a another one. and the one thing britain has done well and we can all criticise government rightly for some of its decisions in the past. you and i are the only ones who have phd in hindsight of course. but they have not done well in certain areas and of course they have not. but on procurement and delivery of vaccination, i think they get a real tick in the box. and use of the characteristics of this. they've already ordered 60 million doses but he has not been approved yet.

waiting for approval. they are saying let's get on with it and if you look at the way they did the other ones, they are saying firstly we will take on any liability. we will not fix this on the manufacturer which means manufacturers or will if you have a contract with them. we will pay up front and at the same time will order early. in the british people should say thank you for that and by the way i repeat that there are lots of things which frankly history has proven where the best decisions at times. but on spot on. interestingly if the vaccine _ times. but on spot on. interestingly if the vaccine minister _ times. but on spot on. interestingly if the vaccine minister who - times. but on spot on. interestingly if the vaccine minister who was - if the vaccine minister who was involved in the trial for novavax. but digby has crossed over a number of stories when it comes to the vaccination and the financial times picks up on that as well. henry let's look at the ft and this idea that the vaccination shortfalls are pushing europe's vaccine drive to a crisis point. we have been

discussing a lot over the past few days this escalating tension between the eu and astrazeneca over the slowing down of their vaccine production. talk us through how the times is focusing on this. let’s production. talk us through how the times is focusing on this.— times is focusing on this. let's get to the detail _ times is focusing on this. let's get to the detail of _ times is focusing on this. let's get to the detail of that. _ times is focusing on this. let's get to the detail of that. the _ times is focusing on this. let's get to the detail of that. the novavaxl to the detail of that. the novavax vaccine _ to the detail of that. the novavax vaccine seems to be very effective against _ vaccine seems to be very effective against both the main strain and the one from _ against both the main strain and the one from south africa. i think it's important — one from south africa. i think it's important to add that. but the financiai— important to add that. but the financial times is normally a very pro-eu _ financial times is normally a very pro—eu paper but it presents a picture — pro—eu paper but it presents a picture of— pro—eu paper but it presents a picture of an eu all at sixes and sevens — picture of an eu all at sixes and sevens with their member states having _ sevens with their member states having to — sevens with their member states having to halt the vaccination will because — having to halt the vaccination will because they said we don't have enough — because they said we don't have enough supply. so you get the impression which britain which went atone _ impression which britain which went alone and _ impression which britain which went alone and refuse to take part in the european _ alone and refuse to take part in the european procurement system last year was _ european procurement system last year was able to book in an early fashion _ year was able to book in an early fashion and _ year was able to book in an early fashion and buy up all these

that habits me britain but it could be switzerland or norway or iceland, if there is a country out of the eu that has got a contract with pfizer that has got a contract with pfizer that said pfizer will deliver this on this date for this money and if they have a contract like that, brussels will come around and start telling pfizer not to honour its contractual obligations to get themselves out of a political mess is disgusting. flan themselves out of a political mess is disgusting-— themselves out of a political mess is disgusting. can i intervene here? this shows — is disgusting. can i intervene here? this shows why _ is disgusting. can i intervene here? this shows why vaccine _ is disgusting. can i intervene here? this shows why vaccine nationalism i this shows why vaccine nationalism is a had _ this shows why vaccine nationalism is a bad thing. the whole point of the world — is a bad thing. the whole point of the world health organisation and other— the world health organisation and other un — the world health organisation and other un type organisations is that we pool— other un type organisations is that we pool our resources so this organisation called covax which is to bring _ organisation called covax which is to bring together the purchasing power— to bring together the purchasing power of— to bring together the purchasing power of all these countries and get these _ power of all these countries and get these manufacturers to give a normal discount, _ these manufacturers to give a normal discount, vaccines which will then be distributed to the poorest countries in the world, we should be pushing _ countries in the world, we should be pushing for— countries in the world, we should be pushing for because otherwise we end ”p pushing for because otherwise we end up with— pushing for because otherwise we end

free to do with the issue you said it should be open and transparent and it should be no nationalism in this. it is madness that france, which is a country of great innovation and tremendous science, louis pasteur, the father of vaccination was french, and there is france which is so pathetically low in its percentage of population vaccinated and one of the reasons is they are slow because they were wanting a french manufacturer to catch up. that's madness! they should just be saying how do we best serve the people of the world. before you to just carry on agreeing and everybody switches off it gives us not what you were here for, come on, let's have a look at what the metro is same because nicholas sturgeon is now deciding and going above the national view of vaccines.

—— nicholas sturgeon. is she doing the right thing helping the eu? she does not the right thing helping the eu? file: does not want to the right thing helping the eu? si9: does not want to help the right thing helping the eu? si9 does not want to help the the right thing helping the eu? s“i9 does not want to help the eu. she wants to help nicola sturgeon. she wants to help nicola sturgeon. she wants to help the snp and needle the english. she wants to go up against borisjohnson and she wants to win the parliamentary elections in may and want to stand there like queen boudicca and say at the it to them. it happens to be about the eu and she wants to release confidential information which she has been given. she forgets by the way that she does have a boss, called the prime minister of the uk. but she will release the information to europe. this is pure politicisation and if ever there was the nationalistic jab that and if ever there was the nationalisticjab that is being waived by nicola sturgeon. and it really upsets me because the united

kingdom has a great chance of delivery for its people on this. and whether you are in northern ireland or in cardiff or edinburgh or manchester, your ability to get on is because the government in westminster, no matter how much it upsets nicola sturgeon, the retirement of all this was done by london. and it's a very unfortunate historical fact that it was done by london and you were just going to have to take advantage of it for scotland. it have to take advantage of it for scotland. :, , have to take advantage of it for scotland. . , :, _ ., scotland. it was done by the uk, not by london- — scotland. it was done by the uk, not by london- henry. — scotland. it was done by the uk, not by london. henry, you _ scotland. it was done by the uk, not by london. henry, you are _ scotland. it was done by the uk, not by london. henry, you are right, - scotland. it was done by the uk, not by london. henry, you are right, it l by london. henry, you are right, it was done by _ by london. henry, you are right, it was done by the _ by london. henry, you are right, it was done by the government - by london. henry, you are right, it was done by the government of. by london. henry, you are right, it| was done by the government of the uk. they have at a base in london but i'll try to make the contrast to the fact that it was not done in edinburgh. but the fact that it was not done in edinburgh-— the fact that it was not done in edinburuh. �* , :, :, . edinburgh. but people from scotland are on the procurement _ edinburgh. but people from scotland are on the procurement teams - edinburgh. but people from scotland are on the procurement teams let's i are on the procurement teams let's look at _ are on the procurement teams let's look at the — are on the procurement teams let's look at the whole of this in the round — look at the whole of this in the round and _ look at the whole of this in the round and it was said that the reason — round and it was said that the reason why nicola sturgeon is threatening to release this weekly information is because she is being accused _ information is because she is being accused of— information is because she is being accused of rolling out the vaccine

nicola sturgeon but i would focus on
