Russia begins vaccinating people against Covid-19

Russia has begun using its own vaccine known as Sputnik V to vaccinate against Covid-19. Developers say it’s up to ninety-five percent effective and causes no major side effects. Also; as Brexit trade talks begin to wind down there is still no deal and time is running out, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will have direct talks with EU president Ursula von der Leyen; and 25,000 jobs are at risk in the UK as two big British retailers face collapse, what does this mean for the future of the High Street?

Joining Celia Hatton to discuss these and other issues are Lone Thiels, Danish crime novelist and journalist; and Andrea Sella a broadcaster and professor of chemistry at University College London.
