Health Secretary Matt Hancock is expected to announce the milestone after the latest figures roll in from across England. But ministers are not expected to publish the numbers of those who have had the vaccine - despite pressure to do so.

Instead they will confirm it has been offered to people living at more than 10,000 care homes with older residents. A small number of other homes have had their NHS visits deferred because of a severe local Covid outbreak.

Mr Hancock had pledged to offer a first dose to 300,000 elderly care home residents in England, plus their staff, by January 31.

Remote schooling means snow days could become optional in NJ

MONTCLAIR, N.J. - Many New Jersey children may soon have to experience snow days from the inside looking out if some state lawmakers on both sides of the aisle get their way.Legislation before the state would give school districts the option of using snow days during inclement weather. But if the districts choose not to take a snow day, then the day away from the physical school building would be a remote learning day and it would count toward the state's 180-day education requirement.There's no denying that the unfettered joy of waking up to word of a snow day is a rite of passage for many kids.
