It is not as easy as some people think.  PM Boris warns people not to think Covid is all over.  Health experts say even people with 2 doses of vaccine should not hug their grandchildren.  The vaccine gives protection but it will not be 100%.  PM Boris says people must continue to follow the rules.  The UK does not want to have a third wave.
Ooops!  It is possible that thousands of British people who have been living in Spain will have to leave and come back to the UK.  This is because they did not bother to register that they were living in Spain before the deadline on 31st December.  They will have 90 days to leave – it is a rule.  Some people believe the Spanish will not bother to throw them out .. that looks like a risky plan.
On Monday, they finally managed to free the huge container ship in the Suez canal.  Over 300 ships are waiting in the queue to pass through the canal.    First, they have to drag the container ship to a lake on the canal; then they can have an inspection.  It may need repairs before it can carry on.  The delays cost about $6 billion every day and some ships have cargo which will be scrapped because of the delay.
You know the Black Lives Matter campaign?  It all started when George Floyd died because the police held him down in the street.  He could not breathe while they knelt on his neck.  Now one policeman is on trial for murder.  The whole trial is on television in the USA.  That may seem strange to people in the UK.  We don’t know how many people will sit and watch but they say President Biden is watching carefully.
