Coronavirus: Thailand begins mass vaccination

Thailand is beginning a mass vaccination programme, as it battles its third and the worst wave of the Covid-19 outbreak. We hear about the impact the absence of foreign tourists have had on the economy and people's lives.

Dr Eleanor Murray – assistant professor of epidemiology at Boston University School of Public Health – will answer audience questions about the pandemic and look at the latest lines on the virus.

Nigeria’s government has imposed a ban on Twitter and says it will arrest and prosecute anyone found using the social media platform. We explain what’s behind the decision and hear about the reaction in the country.

We’ll also hear from those who paid to watch the exhibition boxing match between Floyd Mayweather and the YouTuber Logan Paul.
