Europe faces surge in coronavirus cases

Countries in Europe are facing a crisis due to a surge in the number of coronavirus infections and a shortage of the vaccines that can mitigate the spread of the disease. We speak to WHO’s Maria Van Kerkhove on AstraZeneca safety concerns in some countries.

Also in the programme: How to deal with disinformation on social media and we hear from the lead actress of a Bosnian film which tells the story of the Srebrenica massacre, nominated for an Oscar.

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.
