Inception star Ellen Page comes out as transgender and changes name to Elliot
Oscar-nominated actor Elliot Page, the star of Juno, Inception and The Umbrella Academy, has come out as transgender in an announcement greeted as a watershed moment for the trans community in Hollywood. "I love that I am trans. And I love that I am queer," Page said in a statement on social media on Tuesday. The 33-year-old actor said his decision to come out as trans, which also involved changing his first name, came after a long journey and with much support from the LGBTQ community. "I can't begin to express how remarkable it feels to finally love who I am enough to pursue my authentic self," Page wrote. "I've been endlessly inspired by so many in the trans community. Thank you for your courage, your generosity and ceaselessly working to make this world a more inclusive and compassionate place." "The more I hold myself close and fully embrace who I am, the more I dream, the more my heart grows and the more I thrive," added Page, who said his pronouns are "he" and "they". Page signed his statement with the words, "All my love, Elliot."

Donald Trump 'livid' with US regulator as UK approves Covid vaccine first
Donald Trump summoned the head of the US vaccine regulator to the White House amid frustration that America had not moved faster with approval. The US president was said to be livid that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had yet to approve the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, having hoped the US would be the first country to do so. On Tuesday morning, amid suggestions the UK was close to approval, the in-person presence of Dr Stephen Hahn, commissioner of the FDA, was requested by Mark Meadows, Mr Trump's chief of staff. There had been speculation that Mr Trump would fire him but, after the 90-minute meeting, the FDA said that "Dr Hahn remains FDA commissioner". The FDA has been reviewing thousands of pages of technical information on the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines as it deliberates whether to authorise "emergency use" for high-risk groups. It has scheduled public meetings for December 10 and 17 to review the vaccines, and is expected to make decisions before the end of the year. Pfizer applied for emergency use authorisation on November 20. White House officials frustrated by the time lag were reportedly unhappy that Dr Hahn spent a week in North Carolina last month. The FDA responded that he was working remotely from there while quarantining after exposure to the virus.
