Coronavirus conversations: Vaccinated at 12

Elle in Cleveland and Áine in Toronto are among the youngest to get Covid jabs so far

With coronavirus vaccination programmes around the world reaching ever younger age groups - in countries with plentiful supplies - we bring together some of the youngest to get jabs so far. 12-year-olds Elle and Áine have had their shots in the US and Canada this month. Along with their parents, we'll hear about their decision, their experience and how they feel now about the future.

We're going to find out what is in the first budget of President Biden's administration later. We'll find out what it might mean for Americans, with the help of our business correspondent in New York.

And we'll explain the admission of genocide by Germany in what is now Namibia in southern Africa. German colonisers killed tens of thousands of people there in the early 20th century. The German Foreign Minister has asked for forgiveness and announced financial aid, so we'll hear about the response from Namibia.
