A British expat's Nandos will be a little less cheeky after his Peri-Peri sauce was confiscated by Spanish border guards under new Brexit rules. Joseph Lathey, who lives in the Spanish city of La Línea de la Concepción but works in Gibraltar, was told the medium-heat sauce couldn't cross into Spain with him because it contained processed vegetables. He was also ordered to bin samosas, flatbreads and spices he had picked up on The Rock or else take them back. Lathey is in little doubt that the increased strictness at the border is because of Brexit. 'Yes, 100 percent,' he said. 'Definitely.' Lathey, who wanted the United Kingdom to remain in the European Union, believed that the new rules only prohibited meat and dairy. Yet despite being convinced that the border guards were unsure of the rules themselves, Lathey felt powerless to question their decisions as all the legal documentation was in Spanish.

Medical professionals secretly filmed in Wuhan (one of whom is pictured left) say they knew about virus deaths as early as December 2019, but it was mid-January before China first informed the WHO of a fatality (pictured bottom right: a patient is wheeled into a Wuhan hospital last January; top right: China boasts of its success with a special exhibition in Wuhan). The medics also realised that the virus was passing between humans, but hospitals were told 'not to tell the truth' and calls to scrap Lunar New Year festivities were rejected because authorities wanted to 'present a harmonious and prosperous society'. The new testimony, which will be broadcast tonight in an ITV documentary called Outbreak: The Virus That Shook The World, flies in the face of China's denials that it covered up the epidemic in its earliest days.

After a hastily-arranged court hearing in Moscow, Navalny urged Russians to 'take to the streets', with a few hardy supporters already gathered outside the police station in -20C temperatures (bottom right). But Kremlin press secretary Dmitry Peskov said today that Russia's leaders did not fear mass protests - adding that they had heard the Western outrage but 'cannot and are not going to take these statements into account'.
Iran's military has kicked off a ground forces drill along the coast of the Gulf of Oman, the latest in a series of snap exercises amid escalating tensions over the country's nuclear programme and Washington's pressure campaign against Tehran. State TV reported that commando units and airborne infantry were participating in the annual exercise, along with fighter jets, helicopters and military transport aircraft. The drill, overseen by Iran's National Army chief Abdolrahim Mousavi, comes four days after the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) carried out ballistic missile drills in a central desert region and just one day before the inauguration of US president-elect Joe Biden. Biden is expected to take a less hawkish approach towards Iran and has pledged to rejoin a landmark 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and world powers. The deal was signed under President Barack Obama but his successor, President Donald Trump, withdrew the US from the treaty in 2018, reimposing sanctions on Iran and pursuing a 'maximum pressure' policy towards the country. In response, Iran has gradually abandoned the limits the deal set on its nuclear development.
