France and Poland impose new lockdown measures

France and Poland have reintroduced partial lockdowns as both countries battle a sharp rise in Covid infections. Some 21 million people in France are affected, while in Poland shops, hotels and sporting facilities are closed.

We look at the fallout from the AstraZeneca vaccine suspensions with Italy's top virologist Roberto Burioni; and the BBC's disinformation team looks at anti-vaccination content on social media.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are: Baroness Arminka Helic, member of the House of Lords, the Upper House of the British parliament from the governing Conservative Party and John Kampfner, British broadcaster, journalist and writer.
