BORIS WARNS OF 'CHALLENGES IN COMING WEEKS' AS HE MULLS NEW RESTRICTIONS NEXT WEEK AND EXPERTS WARN FRESH CURBS COULD BE NEEDED 'AT SPEED' AFTER CASES HIT 189K AND HOSPITALISATIONS DOUBLE Boris Johnson will decide next week whether to impose new coronavirus restrictions to limit indoor socialising as the Prime Minister said in his New Year's Eve message that there are likely to be 'challenges' in the weeks ahead. Mr Johnson is expected to make a decision in the first week of the New Year on whether to restrict mixing indoors in England, according to The Times. The Prime Minister opted not to impose new curbs between Christmas and New Year's Eve but rising Covid case numbers are fuelling fears that new measures could be on the horizon. A further 189,213 coronavirus cases were recorded across the UK yesterday - a new record high - while the number of hospital patients with Covid in England rose to 11,452, a rise of 61 per cent in just one week. Mr Johnson said in his New Year's Eve message that the nation's position in the battle against the disease is now 'incomparably better than last year' thanks to the vaccine rollout. It came as NHS bosses warned that the Government 'needs to be ready to introduce tighter restrictions at real speed should they be needed'.

As a college student 20 years ago, Johanna Sjoberg (main picture) was lured by Ghislaine Maxwell into Jeffrey Epstein's 'pyramid of sexual abuse' and says that within days she met Prince Andrew at the tycoon's Manhattan mansion. Now 41, she alleges it was there that the Queen's second son groped her in an incident during which a latex Spitting Image puppet of the duke was used to abuse Miss Roberts, then 17, with Maxwell in attendance. According to legal documents, the alleged inappropriate conduct did not end there. Miss Roberts (bottom right), now 37 and a mother of three who uses her married name Giuffre, claims that after the Spitting Image incident, she and Andrew slept together in a massage room at Epstein's house dubbed 'the dungeon'. * 457 * 1k comments * 4 videos PEOPLE HAVE STOPPED ROUTINELY SCREENING FOR COVID BECAUSE THEY CAN'T FACE THE SUBSEQUENT DISRUPTION OF A POSITIVE RESULT...

George McMillan, 72, and his wife had been locked in a lengthy dispute with Edward Kelly over the towering cypress leylandii between their homes. They claimed their bedroom at the property in Paisley, Renfrewshire, was kept in constant darkness and attempted to engage with Mr Kelly to get them lopped. But their pleas failed and the couple turned to Renfrewshire Council under high hedge legislation. The council issued an order saying the trees were 'adversely affecting' the McMillans' lives and ordered them to be cut to ground level. But the McMillans argued more trees needed to be lopped as they also formed part of the hedge and appealed to the government. Officials have agreed with the couple and widened the order to include felling three leylandii and a fir tree and reducing the height of two rhododendrons and a bamboo shrub to 6.5ft.

EXPERTS WARN DISHING OUT FOURTH JABS IN SPRING MAY BE UNNECESSARY - AND OMICRON MAY BE WORLD'S 'NATURAL' VACCINE THAT FINALLY ENDS PANDEMIC NEW EXCLUSIVE: UK experts have warned against offer a second Covid booster arguing it is not practical to do so every three months. Claims of Omicron as a 'natural vaccine' are debatable experts say. There are fears the UK may be on the path to 'over-vaccination' as it considers offering a fourth Covid vaccination dose to the public, after data showed immunity from booster jabs starts to fade after just 10 weeks. Israel has already started rolling out fourth doses of Covid vaccines to vulnerable people, such as the elderly, and medical workers who look after them, over fears that their immunity may already be fading four months after their third jab. Currently, the US is holding a line on third doses, with health officials saying more data is needed on the protection improvement potentially offered by a fourth dose. UK experts have urged caution over offering fourth jabs, saying more data is needed on the long term protection offered by the booster. And some experts have said the highly transmissible but mostly mild Omicron variant could act as 'natural vaccine' and boost general immunity towards Covid. * comments * 1 share Experts warn dishing out fourth jabs in spring may be pointless HAVE YOU REALLY HIT YOUR BOOSTER JAB TARGET, BORIS?

Nicola Sturgeon has banned large Hogmanay celebrations and advised people to limit socialising as much as possible. But many Scots are expected to head to England to escape the coronavirus curbs and to see in the New Year. Deputy First Minister John Swinney today called on all Scots to stick to the Scottish Government's guidance. He said people are being urged to restrict socialising because Omicron is 'spreading very, very widely within our society' and it 'poses a serious threat to us'. * 433 comments * 1 video * 15 shares Scottish Government urges Scots to avoid large NYE parties LATERAL FLOW TEST SHORTAGE FOR ANOTHER TWO WEEKS: SAJID JAVID WARNS KITS COULD BE RATIONED AS CONTRACTORS ARE SPOTTED OUTSIDE NANDOS HANDING OUT FREE BOXES OF 20 COVID SWABS TO BRITS BEFORE NEW YEAR'S EVE The Health Secretary also revealed that supplies would be prioritised for vulnerable groups, such as care home patients.

Yes, fun is permitted this New Year's Eve, but please don't do anything stupid and have too much. Or what? Is PC Plod going to break down the doors of the Dog and Badger if not enough windows are open to ensure a howling gale whooshes through the bar moving any microbes outside, reducing the hot bar snacks to a lukewarm buffet? The idea of sensible partying is bizarre. Brits don't do sensible. We are bingers when it comes to food and drink. And after the year we've been through, how can anyone (except Chris Whitty) expect us to go out and party but keep the brakes on? How do you party without partying? I guess it means; keep our knees together, masks on, knickers up and our glasses only half-filled... you get the picture. Yes, Boris 'saved' this Christmas by refusing to impose draconian lockdowns like the couple of self-styled dictators running Scotland and Wales. Nicola Sturgeon has made a successful policy out of gazumping Boris at every turn with harsher Covid rules than he dared impose on the English. How I hope he gets away with his great festive gamble and leaves Scotland's First Minister with eggnog all over her face explaining to Scotland why she stole their Hogmanay. * 38 * 910 comments * 2 videos VICTORIA BECKHAM'S FASHION AND BEAUTY BUSINESS RACKS UP LOSSES OF £57MILLION: DIRECTORS WARN SPICE GIRL HER FIRM IS AT RISK UNLESS SHE AND HUSBAND DAVID PROP IT UP AFTER SIXTH YEAR OF NO PROFITS Victoria Beckham, husband David and a number of other shareholders have had to pump in millions of pounds to keep her fashion and beauty business afloat. * 1.1k comments * 19 shares Victoria Beckham fashion and beauty firm again suffers year of losses PRINCESS ANNE IS THE YEAR'S HARDEST WORKING ROYAL!

'She and Epstein destroyed my life in every way. My relationships. My family life and my health,' she says. Chauntae travelled with Epstein and Maxwell, and was part of a group of dignitaries and celebrities that flew on the billionaire's private jet to Africa in 2002. Former US president Bill Clinton, together with actors Kevin Spacey and Chris Tucker, visited the five African countries during the five-day humanitarian trip, part of a project for Clinton's foundation to raise awareness about poverty and the Aids crisis.

The first was not of her making: she was the youngest and most spoilt child of a monstrous father who was also a megalomaniac, fantasist and financial criminal on a vast scale (top and bottom right).

Maxwell, 60, who was found guilty of five of six federal charges in her month-long trial on Wednesday, has been described by victims as the 'mastermind' behind the late financier's sex trafficking scheme.

He suggested to Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service he could go part-time by working night shifts only but complained when they rejected it. The 36-year-old later went off sick due to 'work stress' - but said he could still carry out jobs on his two businesses, a panel heard. He later resigned from the fire service when his part-time requests were not accommodated and even moaned he was 'harassed and victimised'. Now, Mr Wright has tried to sue the service for unfair dismissal but lost his case after a panel found he was 'ironically' inflexible when it came to his flexible working requests. * comments * share Hobbit home building fireman sues bosses for refusing part-time plea A YEAR THAT WAS THE BEST OF TIMES...

Esposito was a former crime partner of her husband, Pasquale Simonetti and was even a witness at his wedding to Maresca in April 1955 (inset). But just two months later, he turned against him and hired Carlo Gaetano Orlando, a small-time member of his entourage, to kill the newlywed in the busy Piazza Mercato in Naples. Maresca, the daughter of notorious Camorra member Vincenzo Maresca, decided to enact revenge on the crime boss herself, believing the police would turn a blind eye, and shot him dead in broad daylight. She was later linked with other killings and was known as a fearsome crime boss.

She showed off her slim figure in a mirror selfie at the beginning of the clip, explaining that even though she is slender, she is considered a 'plus-size' model. According to her agency, she wears a size 38/40, which is a size 6/8 in the U.S. She claimed she has been hired to appear in ads for brands that carry sizes XL through 5XL because they want the neck and face 'to look really slim and sharp.' Bjørnelykke said she had to bring padding from a fat suit to work while demonstrating how she stuffed and pinned her clothes. Viewers were furious that brands are promoting impossible beauty standards with the practice, and some even slammed Bjørnelykke for wearing the fat suit, which she insisted she no longer does. * 183 comments * 1 video * 359 shares Size 6 model reveals she wears a 'FAT SUIT' to appear in plus-size ads IN BOOKS TODAY * YEAR YOU'LL WANT TO TURN OVER A NEW LEAF: Julian Barnes is back... and Dolly Parton's written her first novel.
