England's lockdown exit plan

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson unveils his plan to lift lockdown restrictions.

Boris Johnson has revealed his "roadmap" to end the lockdown in England - as data from the UK's vaccination drive shows a spectacular drop in serious illness and deaths. We examine the Prime Minister's plan.

Also on the programme: The latest on protests in Myanmar; and as the US Supreme Court clears the way for New York prosecutors to obtain Donald Trump's tax returns, we ask if the former president is facing fresh legal trouble.
