Moderna's coronavirus vaccine approved in the US

The coronavirus vaccine by Moderna approved for use in the US; is HIV being forgotten?

The coronavirus vaccine developed by Moderna has become the second to be approved for emergency use in the U S, with millions of doses ready to be distributed.

Also, as the world's attention is fixed on the fight against coronarvirus, is another major killer, HIV, being forgotten?

Plus, how Sesame Street is getting involved in the welfare of Rohingya child refugees.

And, if you want to go skiing this Christmas in Europe - why it might have to be in Austria.

Joining Paul Henley to discuss these and other issues are Lijia Zhang, a Chinese-born writer and social commentator, based in the UK; and Frank Langfitt, London correspondent for the US National Public Radio network.
