Ten climbers from nepal have completed one of the last remaining challenges in mountaineering reaching the summit of the worlds second highest peak, k2, in winter. Its the last of the ia tallest mountains to have been conquered during the winter months. K2, which is only 200m shorter than everest, is widely considered the most demanding of all in winter. Lets take a look at some of todays front pages. The sunday telegraph claims every adult in britain could be vaccinated by the end ofjune. The papers says the government is optimistic this target could be achieved, as it plans to vaccinate four to five Million People a week within months. The sunday times reports claims that Quarantine Hotels are being prepared for people arriving in the uk and gps and facial Recognition Technology is to be used to check that people are staying in isolation. The picture is of a nepali climber whose team has set a new world record by becoming the first to reach the summit of k2, the worlds second highest mountain, in winter.

A great story on the sunday telegraph this morning talking about how endangered species could be rescued by freezing embryos and freezing part5 could be rescued by freezing embryos and freezing parts of the dna that will then hopefully bring them back at a later date. Black rhino5 and leopards are being saved from extinction using a new biobank. It is known as natures safe and it will store cells from the animals in cryogenic temperatures in the uk. That is such a good idea. And it is one of those things where you think, why hasnt that happen sooner . Tt why hasnt that happen sooner . Tit feels a bit drastic park, though.

Winter in rome means starling season, when up to 4 million birds gather in the italian capital on their migration from europe to africa. Their formations in the skies are beautiful, but their droppings create a hazard, and the city authorities are trying new methods to move them on. Heres our rome correspondent, mark lowen. In the roman twilight, natures great dancers flock to the stage. The acrobatic swells like wisps of smoke. A synchronised spectacle of breathtaking beauty. The starlings winter south to africa, nesting out tonight in central rome for warmth, flying in formation to avoid predators. Amm oration, it is called, and this city of art marvels at the show. A murmuration, its called. But beneath our charm, rome is rotting. And it is a hell of a mess. In the cold light of day, the other side of these gorgeous birds is clear. For those unlucky enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, it is not exactly slightly. It can be a safety hazard. I can tell you that even with a mask, the stench is rancid.
