Coronavirus: Europe's third wave

As a new wave of Covid-19 infections sweeps across Europe, Germany is expected to extend lockdown restrictions into April. We hear from our correspondent in Berlin amid reports that Germans are growing weary of restrictions and frustrated with the slow vaccine rollout.

We also look at the situation in Estonia; the small north European country has registered the highest Covid-19 infection rate in the world per capita.
We’ll be hearing from some Italians about how they are coping with the third lockdown that was imposed a week ago.

And our regular coronavirus expert Dr Eleanor Murray answers more audience questions about the virus and looks at the latest research into the Oxford-AstraZeneca Covid vaccine.

And we go to Tanzania, where thousands of people have gathered in the capital Dodoma to pay their last respects to President John Magufuli who died last week.
