Coronavirus: Sniffer dogs used to detect Covid-19

We speak to a dog trainer in Finland about how sniffer dogs are being used to detect Covid-19 infections at Helsinki airport.

And Professor Manfred Green, a medical doctor and professor of epidemiology in the school of public health at the University of Haifa in Israel will be joining us to discuss today’s news on the coronavirus.

The former Nigerian finance minister, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has become the first woman and the first African to be appointed as director general of the World Trade Organization. We go to Nigeria to hear what is expected from her leadership.

We also go to Texas in the US to hear how people are coping with one of the coldest winters for decades.
