Frontline workers in UAE offered coronavirus vaccine

UAE offers experimental coronavirus vaccines to frontline workers; Trump back campaigning

The United Arab Emirates offers an experimental coronavirus vaccine to its frontline health workers after a spike in cases.

Also, President Trump returns to the campaign trail after being treated for Covid-19 and he makes a pitch for Black American and Latino voters.

And a survey of attitudes towards China shows a marked negative turn in views in western countries in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.

Joining Celia Hatton to discuss these and other issues are Nitasha Kaul, a Kashmiri-British novelist and academic based in London and Michael Keating, Executive Director of European Institute of Peace in Brussels, and a former UN Envoy to Somalia.
