November 26, 2021: U.S. COVID-19 booster, Taiwan, South Africa variant, Britain and France
1. Millions of Americans got COVID-19 booster shots at a near record pace after the Biden administration expanded eligibility last week, but health officials concerned about climbing infections ahead of the winter holiday season urged more to get the additional protection.
2. The leader of a U.S. Congressional delegation to Taiwan praised the island as a "force for good" in the world during a meeting with President Tsai Ing-wen and said under Tsai ties with the United States were more productive than in decades.
3. South African scientists have detected a new COVID-19 variant in small numbers and are working to understand its potential implications.
4. Global authorities reacted with alarm to a new coronavirus variant detected in South Africa, with the EU, Britain and India among those announcing stricter border controls as scientists sought to determine if the mutation was vaccine resistant.
5. French President Emmanuel Macron told Britain it needed to "get serious" or remain locked out of discussions over how to curb the flow of migrants escaping war and poverty across the Channel.
