The biggest vaccination campaign in the history of the NHS gets under way this morning when the first people are given the new coronavirus jab. About 70 hospital hubs across the UK will begin inoculating people aged over 80 - mainly patients coming in for planned treatments - with the Pfizer/BioNTech jab, along with some health workers and care staff. The vaccine must be carefully stored - here's more on how it works.
There are 800,000 doses currently available, with up to four million due by the end of the month. More hospitals and GP practices will become involved in delivery over time. Grandfather-of-nine Dr Hari Shukla, 87, said he was "delighted to be doing my bit" by getting the jab on Tuesday. When will you get one? Find out more.
It'll take time, but the hope is that the roll-out will eventually allow life to return to normal. We're being urged to stick to all precautions until then, and NHS England's chief executive, Sir Simon Stevens, said the vaccination programme would continue until at least the spring.
Here we explain why the vaccine needs to reach a huge number of people in order to see an end to our socially distanced lives. We've also answered your vaccine questions, and explained how scientists have determined it's safe to use.

Boris Johnson has agreed to go to Brussels later this week for face-to-face talks to try to break the deadlock in the post-Brexit trade negotiations. He'll meet European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen after two phone calls between them failed to move things forward. Significant differences remain on fisheries, competition rules and how any trade deal would be enforced. This is why those issues are proving so intractable.
Our political editor Laura Kuenssberg says it's still possible that by the end of the week, the two politicians will snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, but right now, it feels unlikely. They've made it clear that official negotiations have basically been exhausted and there are still big gaps, she adds.
On Monday night, MPs voted to reinstate controversial sections of legislation which would allow ministers to override parts of the Brexit divorce deal. The measures are deeply unpopular with the EU - and the House of Lords, which previously tried to removed them - but the UK has signalled a possible compromise if a trade deal is reached. Find out more. And if a deal isn't agreed, what would that mean? We explain.

A public inquiry into the Christchurch massacre has found that New Zealand's security services were too focused on the threat from Islamist extremism and ignored the far right. White supremacist Brenton Tarrant killed 51 people at two mosques in March 2019, and the inquiry criticised authorities for failing to enforce proper checks on firearms licences, which allowed him to accumulate a massive arsenal of weapons. However, correcting those failures wouldn't have made it possible to prevent the attack, it determined.
The imam of the Al Noor Mosque, one of the two targeted, said the report confirmed authorities had been overly suspicious of the Muslim community instead of protecting it.

It's V-Day, according to several front pages as they celebrate the beginning of coronavirus vaccination. "Our fightback starts today" is how the Daily Mirror puts it, alongside a powerful photo collage illustrating Britain's battle against Covid-19. The i simply tells readers to "Rejoice". The Times and the Guardian report that a trial to "mix and match" vaccines will take place in the New Year, once more jabs are approved by regulators, to see if different types can combine to give people better protection. Elsewhere, Brexit dominates, with all eyes on what the Daily Express calls the "Showdown in Brussels" between Boris Johnson and the EU Commission president. The Daily Mail says it's a "high-stakes gamble" that will see the PM take "personal charge" of negotiations. The Daily Telegraph describes the meeting as one that will define not only Mr Johnson's administration, but Britain's place in the world for decades to come. Finally, an editorial in the Sun blames the EU for the standoff, claiming it's led by "fanatics" who've made it "as hard as possible to come to any deal".

Two of the UK's spiritual leaders, the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Chief Rabbi, have both lost a child. Watch them come together to discuss their grief. Elsewhere, Lily, a transgender woman, tells BBC Three why she filmed her transition and what she hopes it will do for other young people. And finally, the BBC's Tom Brook was the first British reporter on the scene when John Lennon was shot 40 years ago today. He explains why the experience still haunts him.
