that's what whitehall — what is happening in the uk? uk? that�*s what whitehall officials are saying, most of our vaccine at the moment is the astrazeneca vaccine, and i think one of the papers is reporting that there may be issues with some additional supply that was coming— it feels like the biggest issue is with that, the modernity vaccine is supposed to be coming eminently, and apparently there were some supply issues around that, meaning we may be getting fewer doses than we anticipated —— moderna. the tricky thing about this, and this is what we came out through conversation last time we talked about this when the eu had its big row with astrazeneca, is that making these vaccines is a bit of an imprecise science, and your growing cells, cultures — i'm no scientist, i can't talk you through the process — but it's not a simple manufacturing process where you put something together and you know how much you'll get out. you know, there can be blips in the process, sometimes it's a bit unpredictable exactly how many doses you'll get fr

crowded to operate safely with covid—i9 restrictions, but we saw thousands of people walking up whitehallkingham palace. some were chanting freedom, some were bearing placards saying nhs and government lies. so things have certainly changed in terms of numbers. the police for the moment, i think they are taking very much a hands off approach, and i think the police are saying simply they can't do mass arrests because it takes too many officers to arrest one person, so that's simply not possible. you think of the — that's simply not possible. you think of the contrast _ that's simply not possible. you think of the contrast with events in clapham a week ago when there was the vigilfor sarah clapham a week ago when there was the vigil for sarah everard, clapham a week ago when there was the vigilfor sarah everard, who clapham a week ago when there was the vigil for sarah everard, who was killed and some days earlier, and the police in the end decided to break that up because it was in breach of covid—i9 restrictions. they took a lot of flak as a result of doing so. presumably, that will undo

as chris was saying, in whitehall, government officials are looking at ways to have some kind of moreent commemoration of what we have all been through. it's important because those who look after people in care homes have a duty of care towards them. not every resident in a care home, in an elderly care home can be vaccinated. some care homes have asked for us to change the law so that they can require their staff to be vaccinated because of this duty of care, so absolutely, we're looking at that request. but i would just stress that no final decisions have been taken on this. that was matt hancock the health secretary who has been on the airwaves today talking about this but milestone but also talking about something that has been considered in the near future something that has been considered in the nearfuture by something that has been considered in the near future by the government which is this idea of making covid—19 vaccinations compulsory for everyone who works in a care home. no decisions have been made yet but the government is considering it and matt hancock sounds like s
