Prime Minister's Questions is expected to be tense, with top official Sue Gray's report to be delivered later on Wednesday. The Metropolitan Police Service has also launched an investigation, adding to the pressure on the prime leader. Foreign Secretary Liz Truss has called for a "cultural shift" in No 10.

Ms Truss stated that the report has yet to be received by Downing Street. During the first lockdown, the prime minister apologised for attending a "bring-your-own-booze" reception in the No 10 garden on

If Russia invades Ukraine, US President Joe Biden says he will explore personal penalties on Vladimir Putin. Mr. Biden stated that a move by Russia against the country on its south-western border would have "enormous ramifications" for the world. His remarks came as other Western leaders warned that if Russia invaded, it would pay a high price. Russia has accused the US and others of "escalating tensions" over the matter, and has stated that it has no plans to invade Ukraine. Moscow, on the other hand, has stationed an estimated 100,000 troops near the border. The Kremlin has stated that it views Nato, the Western military alliance, as a security danger and has demanded formal assurances that it will not admit new members further east, including Ukraine. However, the United States has stated that the problem at hand is Russian aggression, not Nato expansion. Western embassies in Kyiv have withdrawn some personnel due to fears of invasion.

Officials from the United States Coast Guard are looking for 39 individuals who went missing after their ship sank off the coast of Florida on Saturday night. On Tuesday morning, officials were alerted after fishermen spotted a man clinging to the hull of a boat 45 miles (72 kilometers) from Fort Pierce. According to the survivor, the gang left Bimini, Bahamas, on Saturday night and ran into bad weather. The yacht may have been involved in a "people smuggling endeavor," according to US officials. None of the passengers were wearing life vests, according to the survivor, who did not want to be recognized. The Miami Coast Guard was in charge of the search, which included ships and planes, according to the agency's Twitter account. No more survivors had been located by Tuesday afternoon. Bimini is located 80 miles west of Miami and is the westernmost region of the Bahamas. Officials are looking from Bimini to Fort Pierce, a distance of about 135 miles. In the waters around F

A patient requesting a heart transplant in the United States was turned down, at least in part, because he had not been vaccinated against Covid-19. DJ Ferguson, 31, is in desperate need of a new heart, but his father, David, claims that Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston has taken him off their waiting list. He claims that the Covid vaccine contradicts his son's "fundamental ideals" and that he "doesn't believe in it." The hospital stated that it was adhering to protocol. "Given the shortage of available organs, we do everything we can to guarantee that a patient who receives a transplanted organ has the best chance of survival," Brigham and Women's Hospital said. "The Covid-19 vaccination, as well as lifestyle behaviors for transplant candidates," a spokeswoman stated, "are required to create both the best possibility for a successful operation and to optimize the patient's survival following transplantation, given

Two-thirds of those who have recently been infected with the Omicron variant report they have previously had Covid. The findings came from React, a big, ongoing study in which thousands of participants in England were swab-tested. More research is needed to determine how many are true reinfections, but the findings do reveal which groups are more likely to catch Covid again. Healthcare workers and families with children or several people living under one roof are among them. In total, over two million people have been tested as part of the project. The most recent findings, for the first two weeks of 2022 (round 17), are based on around 100,000 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests that were sent to participants and then returned. Around 4,000 people tested positive, the greatest number since the outbreak began. When a sample of them was sequenced to see what type of Covid was to blame, it turned out that nearly all of them were Omicron, the highly infectious form first discovered in S
