UK Covid inquiry finds care home failings

The sixth report from the Covid inquiry has found that UK government failings allowed Covid-19 to spread "like wildfire" in care homes. It criticises a lack of personal protective equipment and the failure to advise care homes to isolate people discharged from hospital, which the inquiry chair called a "significant oversight". The report says the care sector was treated as "an afterthought" during the pandemic.

The stance contrasts with President Donald Trump, who has given Netanyahu his "complete and total" support ahead of Israel's election. Vance's comment drew notice because he previously campaigned in Hungary for former Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.
