Coronavirus conversations: Caring for new babies

Over the holiday period, we are returning to some of the people we have joined in conversation about how the pandemic has affected them. Today, we get back in touch with three mums, who gave birth in 2020, in New York, Dublin and London. They discuss the difficulty of lockdown and isolation when caring for a new-born.

After President Trump eventually agreed to sign a Covid relief and spending bill into law, we speak to the unemployed Americans who the measures are meant to help. We'll also get our North America reporter to explain the politics around it.

And we spend time with our correspondent in Italy, Mark Lowen, to hear his reflections on covering one of the countries hard hit by Covid-19.
