Olympics chief says Tokyo games will have spectators

"As many competitors and spectators as possible" will be vaccinated says Olympics chief, Thomas Bach.

The International Olympic chief says he's confident the Tokyo Games will take place next year in front of spectators, with those attending vaccinated against the coronavirus.

The number of Coronavirus cases has passed the 11million mark in the USA, amid warnings that Donald Trump's refusal to start handing over power may worsen the crisis.
