We're about to bring our coverage to an end. Here's what's been happening around the UK.
It has been a bleak day in the progress of the pandemic as the number of people who have died with Covid-19 in the UK has surpassed 100,000
The prime minister says he is "deeply sorry" and takes "full responsibility for everything that the government has done"
The number of daily deaths is likely to come down "relatively slowly" before the effects of the current lockdown and vaccines are felt, the Chief Medical Officer Prof Chris Whitty has warned
The total number of people in the UK who have received their first Covid jab is 6.8m
But the Welsh government has missed its target of vaccinating 70% of people aged 80
The number of people out of work has risen to 1.72m, its highest level in almost five years, amid the impact of the pandemic
Ministers are holding talks about making travellers coming to England quarantine in hotels, with an announcement expected soon
And 31 Met Police officers who broke coronavirus rules to get haircuts are facing £200 fines

As the UK registers more than 100,000 deaths of people with coronavirus, today, 5 Live has been hearing from people about how they are coping with the grief at losing their loved ones to coronavirus.
Jamie Brown’s dad Tony was 65 when he died with Covid-19 last March.
Speaking to 5 Live’s Naga Munchetty, Jamie said his dad was beginning to retire, but travelling to London one day a week, when he became ill.
"He was meant to be putting his feet up, having worked incredibly hard to do so - and that was taken away from him."
Jamie is a member of the Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice group and says the group helped him realise he’s "one in a sea of people who are feeling this... collective grief and collective rage (that) you’ve been so terribly let down".
Was US vaccine roll-out a 'dismal failure' under Trump?

President Joe Biden has said that the US might be able to
boost its daily vaccination roll-out targets after criticising the Trump
administration’s record.
Biden, who has described the previous vaccine programme
as a "dismal failure", has committed to getting 100 million vaccine doses done
in his first 100 days and has since said: "I think we may be able to get that to 1.5 million a day, rather than one million a day."
Is he right about the vaccine roll-out under the Trump
administration?
As of 20 January, when Biden became US president, about
16.5 million vaccines had been administered.
That is some way off the Trump administration's target of
vaccinating 20 million people by the end of 2020. In fact, fewer than three million people had received a jab
by 31 December.
Vaccinations have sped up since the start of the year.
The daily average for the week before Trump left office
was less than 900,000, according to Our World in Data.
That figure has since risen above one million doses a day,
and Biden has come under some
scrutiny for not setting a more ambitious target.
When you look at the countries doing the most vaccinations by population, the US is fourth after Israel, the UAE and the UK in terms of doses per 100 people.
Israel has the highest per capita vaccination rate in the
world - but vaccines are yet to be rolled out to Palestinians in Gaza and the
West Bank, viewed as occupied territories by the international community.
Israel’s health minister says it is the Palestinian
Authority’s responsibility to provide healthcare under an interim deal for
self-rule in Palestinian areas.
But UN human rights experts say there are international rules about the duty of an occupying power to
provide healthcare - although Israel often argues it isn't technically
occupying the West Bank and Gaza.
Palestinians in occupied East Jerusalem are entitled to be
vaccinated against Covid - they have Israeli residency status. And medics
working in Palestinian hospitals there are also getting vaccines.
Some health experts and business leaders have also called
for Israel to include other Palestinians in its vaccine programme, as around
tens of thousands of Palestinians travel daily to work in Israel and in
Israeli settlements in the West Bank.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health - which operates in the
West Bank – said they are doing deals with four companies that will provide
enough vaccines for 70% of its people, and will get another 20% from the World
Health Organization-backed Covax scheme.
But there are few details at the moment about when vaccines
will start or who will receive them.
Baroness Benjamin, 71, who made her name as the host of TV's Play School in the 1970s, is now a campaigner for young people.
Denmark to pay mink farmers billions over Covid cull

Diggers tipped piles of dead mink into trenches in DenmarkImage caption: Diggers tipped piles of dead mink into trenches in Denmark
Mink farmers in Denmark - the world’s largest producer of mink pelts until a coronavirus mass cull - have been given a compensation package worth more than 19 billion Danish kroner (£2.2bn).
It was voted through by MPs late on Monday.
The agriculture minister said it was a chance to move on, while the Danish mink breeders association said the industry would never return, as China and Poland could produce mink furs much more cheaply.
Mink farmers were ordered to destroy their entire stock of about 17 million animals last November, over fears that a mutant strain of Covid-19 could pass from mink to humans.
But chaos followed.
The scientific basis of the order came into question, and mass graves appeared to be poisoning soil and water supplies.
The issue led to the resignation of the previous agriculture minister.
What's behind the Dutch riots?

Some of the worst violence was in RotterdamImage caption: Some of the worst violence was in Rotterdam
The ignition of discontent has rocked the core of Dutch society.
In the absence of any legitimate way to socialise, is this simply an outlet for young men to feel part of something, their masks concealing their identities and enabling them to violently channel their frustrations?
There are more sinister influences at play. Messages on social media, overt and covert, have whipped up anger. Misinformation has even been spread by some politicians.
Some feared a curfew would be a tipping point, as Dutch restrictions tighten while some neighbouring countries relax their rules. The vast majority of people in the Netherlands are peacefully observing the curfew.
The unrest was initially seen as a response to the first "stay-at-home" order imposed since Nazi occupation during World War Two. That notion has been dismissed by Prime Minister Mark Rutte, who said the rioters were simply criminals and would be treated as such.
But there are simmering anxieties in Dutch towns and cities, and with less than two months before a general election, voters are vulnerable and the streets volatile.
Curfew stays despite riots in Dutch cities

Video caption: Netherlands: Third night of anti-lockdown riotsNetherlands: Third night of anti-lockdown riots
Away from UK news now, and nearby, in the Netherlands, the Dutch government says it will not lift a curfew, after a third night of violent protests against increased Covid curbs.
Shops in Rotterdam and other cities were looted and Finance Minister Wopke Hoekstra condemned the violence, saying: "It's scum doing this".
More than 180 arrests have been made.
The Dutch chief of police said the riots no longer had "anything to do with the basic right to demonstrate".
The criminal violence had to stop, said Prime Minister Mark Rutte.
A night-time curfew from 21:00 (20:00 GMT) to 04:30 (03:30 GMT) was imposed last Saturday to help to halt the spread of the virus. Anyone caught violating it faces a €95 (£84) fine.

How many coronavirus cases are there in your area?
ReutersCopyright: Reuters
There have been more than 3.5 million confirmed cases of coronavirus in the UK and more than 100,000 people have died, government figures show.
At his Downing Street briefing this evening, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said:
“I think the amount we invested in the NHS, even before the pandemic began, was
more than any time in modern memory.”
In 2018, the government pledged that
spending on the NHS in England would increase by £20.5bn by 2023-24.
This meant that the NHS budget
would increase by 3.2% a year, once inflation was accounted for.
However, it is still substantially
below the 6% annual growth seen under the Labour governments in power between
1997 and 2010, according to the Institute for Fiscal Studies.
It’s important when comparing
spending to include inflation, because it accounts for the fact that things get
more expensive over the years.
Since the crisis began, the NHS
budget has increased dramatically.
In the most recent year, the
Department of Health and Social Care’s budget went up by £50bn, but it is still
unclear whether the health service will receive more money once the crisis has
ended.
Your tributes to those who have died

"She was a passionate, caring, humorous and larger-than-life character."
"He is one of a kind and will be greatly missed."
"He had such a zest for life."
More than 100,000 lives have been lost to coronavirus in the UK - victims of a pandemic that has claimed two million deaths worldwide.
We have gathered tributes to more than 680 of those who have died - including words of remembrance from friends, family and colleagues.
The UK government is expected to announce plans for a form of hotel quarantine for international arrivals into the country.
While exact details of the policy remain unclear, similar schemes are already in place across the world, including in Australia and New Zealand.
Some travellers have been telling us about their experiences.
After finally securing her family's place in Australia's quarantine system, Keri McMenamin prepared for the worst - and ordered a vacuum cleaner.
The 38-year-old was returning to the country with her husband and two children after securing a job offer - leaving the UK in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic last year.
"It is literally luck of the draw," she says of where her family would spend 14 days together once they arrived. "You didn't know what to expect."

"For every person who dies, around eight to 10 people are significantly affected," psychotherapist Julia Samuel tells Radio 1 Newsbeat.
Restrictions on going to funerals and rules around household mixing mean the normal support networks might not be as easy to reach.

'Earlier autumn lockdown 'would have saved lives' - Ferguson

The epidemiologist whose modelling prompted the UK government to impose the
first lockdown last March says he believes more action in the
autumn of last year could have saved lives.
Speaking as more than 100,000 deaths were recorded,
Prof Neil Ferguson told BBC Radio 4’s PM programme: "The new variant was unpredictable and did change our understanding of
how much was needed to control spread, but we did just let the autumn wave get
too far."
Asked if there was one thing that could have made a
difference, he added: “In some sense back in March we had much less information to go on
than in September.
"Had we acted both earlier and with greater stringency back
in September when we first saw case numbers going up, and had a policy of
keeping case numbers at reasonably low levels, then I think a lot of the
deaths we’ve seen - not all by any means, but a lot of the deaths we’ve seen in
the last four or five months - could have been avoided.”

Plan to finally allow Philippines children outside scrapped
Michael Bristow
BBC World Service Asia Pacific editor
Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte has abandoned plans to allow some children out of their homes for the first time in 10 months.
They've been cooped up to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
Under-15s have been unable to legally go outside since March - one of the toughest virus restrictions on children anywhere in the world.
It has had an effect on their schooling and mental health, as well as the economy because family trips have been impossible.
Last week though, the government finally said 10 to 14-year-olds would be allowed out from February.
But President Duterte has now rescinded that order after the more contagious UK variant of the virus was discovered.
Duterte told children they'd have to continue watching TV instead.
Wuhan: Five days that shaped the outbreak
While the UK reaches a milestone in terms of the number of deaths today, it is one year ago that the Chinese government locked down the city of Wuhan.
For weeks beforehand, officials had maintained that the virus outbreak was under control - just a few dozen cases linked to a live animal market.
But in fact, coronavirus had been spreading throughout the city and around China.
We look back at those five critical days early on in the outbreak.
