From tomorrow, January 15, all travelers arriving in the UK and all those departing for the US will need a negative Covid-19 test. Both countries now have systems in place which require a test to be taken up to three days prior to departure, so if you need to travel, check out our top news below for more details.

We also have updates on two other helpful tools for overseas Americans – the UK’s newly launched Global Health Insurance Card, which US residents in the UK are eligible to apply for, and the IRS’ new Identity Protection PIN, which should add an extra layer of security on your tax returns.

Plus, we report on some positive stories coming out of early 2021, including a memorial ruck at RAF Lakenheath, the first passenger trains to arrive at the new Nine Elms underground station next to the US Embassy, and details on watching the 2021 Presidential Inauguration.

In features, we’ve got a great mix of cuisine, theater and sport, including ‘The Gaz Station’, a new weekly column from Gary Jordan.

As always, stay safe, keep well, and enjoy your newsletter.
