Coronavirus vaccines: EU meets to speed up rollout

European Union leaders are holding a virtual meeting to address speeding up the distribution of coronavirus vaccines. The European Commission has been heavily criticised over its strategy, as the rollout of vaccines lags behind Israel, Britain and the United States. We take a bounce around Europe to get the latest.

Also, we continue to bring people together to share their experiences of the coronavirus pandemic and reflect on one of the many ways our lives have been affected. Increasingly robots have been helping with the effort to beat Covid, from disinfecting hospitals to delivering groceries. We talk to robot engineers and discuss the possible legacy of this.

And we get your coronavirus questions answered by today's expert Dr Swapneil Parikh, who is an infectious disease researcher at the Kasturba Hospital of infectious diseases in Mumbai, India. You can send your questions to us via WhatsApp, our number is: +447730 751925.
