Kay Burley is flying back to the UK after jetting off to South Africa following the Covid rule-breaking party that saw her suspended from Sky News on full pay.  The shamed star - ordered off-air for six months by furious bosses after flouting Covid rules for her 60th birthday party - was seen tonight at Johannesburg Airport, this time following the rules by carefully filling out documents to comply with anti-coronavirus measures.  The presenter has spent the last seven days basking at a luxury £1,500 a night lodge on her South African safari, as London slipped into Tier 3 with infection rates rising fast. But breezing through check-in, dressed in a white tee-shirt with matching facemask, feisty Kay looked unperturbed as she dealt with formalities before heading to the BA lounge to await her First Class flight home.  Kay Burley was pictured at Johannesburg Airport tonight as she flies home from a seven-day trip to a £1,500-a-night safari lodge Burley was pictured filling out airport pap

One in every five state and federal prisoners across the U.S. has tested positive for the novel coronavirus.  The rate is more than four times higher than that of the general population, according to data collected by The Associated Press and The Marshall Project. More than 276,000 inmates have been infected and more than 1,700 have died, and the spread of the virus behind bars shows no sign of slowing. New cases in prisons this week reached their highest level since testing began in the spring, far outstripping previous peaks in April and August, with more than 25,000 recorded infections. Now, the rollout of vaccines poses difficult decisions for politicians and policymakers. As the virus spreads largely unchecked behind bars, prisoners can't socially distance and are dependent on the state for their safety and well-being.  It comes as photos emerged online of California prison staff partying without masks or social distancing.

Parents, governors and retired teachers could administer Covid tests in schools despite a massive revolt over ministers’ 11th-hour plans. Volunteers may be used instead of teachers to carry out rapid testing at secondary schools in the New Year, schools minister Nick Gibb said yesterday. But major education unions threatened to scupper the programme. They announced that schools will have their backing if they refuse to cooperate with the ‘inoperable’ testing plans. The Government has announced that around 5.5million secondary pupils in England will be home-schooled for a week in January and only called on site for Covid-19 tests.

Attorney general Barr is reflecting on the calls he made that benefitted President Trump and a few that didn't in his final days in office – as he said the CIA didn't stray beyond its international spy brief in 2016. Barr told the Wall Street Journal he was suspicious that CIA agents – who are barred from spying on Americans – had spied on President Trump's campaign.

Australia's domestic borders could be shut for Christmas as a Covid-19 cluster in Sydney's Northern Beaches spreads across the city and as far as the Central Coast.  The Victorian and Western Australian state governments are both reportedly considering blocking travellers from all of NSW as the Avalon outbreak grew to 29 cases on Friday.   Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, the Northern Territory and the ACT have all banned anyone who visited the Northern Beaches from December 11 from entering their state or territory.   WA has gone a step further and requires all Sydneysiders to quarantine for 14 days upon arrival, regardless of if they return a negative coronavirus test result. The mystery outbreak has already destroyed Christmas plans for many, with hundreds of Sydney residents plunged into two-week isolation.  State Premier Mark McGowan said the Sydney outbreak 'may well mean that the hard border with NSW needs to return in the near future'.
