prince william breaks his silence after harry and meghan s interview with a direct challenge to their most explosive claim. is the royalfamily a racist family sir? we are very much not a racist family. it s one year since the world health organisation declared coronavirus a global pandemic. since it first emerged in china, 118 million people have been infected. and 2.6 million people have died. the united states is the worst affected country, with more than half a million deaths. in the uk, the death toll has passed 125,000. anne marie rafferty is president of the uk s royal college of nursing. it s a sense of shock and it was quite profound and i think that continues to some extent although people have attuned to the pandemic, no one hoped it would last this long i think the psychological consequences of this have yet to completely unfurl. the great success of the last year has been the development of vaccines. more than 300 million doses have been administered worldwide.
