Europe’s biggest states have joined the growing list of nations questioning the safety of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine.

Germany, France, Spain and Italy are all taking the precautionary measure of suspending use of the vaccine because of fears about possible side-effects including blood clots.

Use of the AstraZeneca vaccine has already been suspended in the Netherlands, Ireland, Iceland, Bulgaria, Denmark and Norway.

The World Health Organisation along with the EU's own medicines regulator says there is no justification for the ban and most British scientists insist the vaccine is safe.

Italy has suspended use of the AstraZeneca vaccine as it faces a third wave of the pandemic, with a sharp rise in infections. It’s government has introduced new restrictions including the closure of schools, shops and restaurants.

Huw Edwards presents BBC News at Ten reporting by medical editor Fergus Walsh, Europe editor Katya Adler and Rome correspondent Mark Lowen.
