Boosters for under-18s from Monday
Booster jabs will be offered to under-18s from tomorrow as the Government prepares to drastically reduce Covid restrictions. Previously, boosters were only recommended for clinically vulnerable 16 and 17-year-olds who were most at risk from Covid-19. Booster jabs will be offered to around 40,000 'high risk' 16 and 17-year-olds from tomorrow under new plans. The EU's medicines watchdog last year approved the Pfizer-BioNTech shot for five to 11-year-olds, an age group experiencing high coronavirus infection rates across the continent. Germany, Spain, Greece and Hungary were among those opening up their inoculation drives to the age group, with doctors reporting strong initial demand from parents.

Donald Trump amassed a $115million election 'war chest'
The November 2020 election seems a long time ago. Lindell has spent $25 million (£18 million) trying – unsuccessfully – to prove that the 2020 election was rigged.

Despite being banned by social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter for peddling misinformation about the election, Trump continues to hold enormous sway in the American heartland. People attend Turning Point USA's America Fest 2021, a gathering of conservative and Donald Trump supporters last December in Phoenix, ArizonaMany have raised the spectre of a bloody second civil war.

The best free VPN for 2022
The free version doesn’t have the best server selection, though, which is why we also recommend a number of other free VPNs. Additionally, PrivadoVPN’s free data plan is the only one out there that supports both streaming unblocking and P2P traffic. Their transparency continues by letting mobile users of their free Android VPN and iOS VPN apps share limited information with Google for advertising. Free users of Hotspot Shield VPN must also put up with advertisements encouraging them to upgrade. If you are interested in keeping your privacy and still having a decent amount of bandwidth for free, Hide.Me has you covered.

Realme 9 Pro sketches leak
Today we present you leaked sketches - seriously, yes, sketches - of the upcoming Realme 9 Pro. Not images of the phone, mind you - not even "CAD-based renders". The source of this incredible (in both senses) leak obviously claims the sketches are legit, but what does that even mean? Anyway, our confusion aside, let's recall that the Realme 9 Pro is supposed to sport a 5,000 mAh battery, according to a recent certification, while the Realme 9 Pro+ should get 65W fast charging (the rate for the non-plus Pro is still a mystery). Not much else is known about the Pro, but the Pro+ should get a 50 MP main rear camera, and a 16 MP selfie shooter.

Prince Andrew WILL face a civil sex case trial
Judge Kaplan had appeared mostly dismissive of oral arguments by Prince Andrew's legal team to have the case dismissed. For Ms Giuffre, Mr Boies added that 'there is no allegation that Prince Andrew' was 'doing the trafficking.

They maintain that the 'extreme and outrageous conduct' continues to cause Ms Giuffre, 'significant emotional and psychological distress and harm.' In 2004, Judge Kaplan married former New York Times reporter and legal publisher Lesley Oelsner.
