Protests against the King in Thailand
Protests for reforms in Thailand; elections in New Zealand, the hunt for a COVID vaccine
Thousands take to the streets of the Thai capital, Bangkok, demanding political reforms: The government responds with new powers.
Also, we hear live from New Zealand where voting is underway in a general election.
Plus, as people around Europe face various levels of coronavirus lockdown, how is the hunt for a vaccine going?
Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Kehinde Andrews, professor of Black Studies at Birmingham City University, and author of the book "Back to Black: Retelling Black Radicalism for 21st Century"; and Stephanie Baker, a senior investigations writer at Bloomberg.
