When Putin met Biden

The current presidents of the United States and Russia have held their first face-to-face meeting at a mansion in Geneva in Switzerland. We'll explain some of the background to the current state of the difficult relationship. We should hear each leader's thoughts on the meeting too, with their news conferences due during this edition.

We've got BBC correspondents covering the politics of each country to explain what each leader hopes to achieve with this meeting. We'll also hear a conversation between an American and a Russian on how they view each other's countries. Could they ever imagine the two nations to be friends?

Also, we'll talk about the idea of mandatory Covid-19 vaccines for certain workers, something on the agenda in several nations at the moment, including Russia, Canada and the UK. It's one of the areas we'll discuss with our regular expert, Dr Maria Sundaram from ICES Ontario.
