Covid-19: Reporting the story around the world

As the world continues to battle the new Omicron Covid-19 variant, we return to speak to three health reporters in different parts of the world, that we first spoke to in March 2021. We go to Brazil, Germany and the United States of America. We hear what they’ve learnt over the past 9 months about Covid-19 and how things have changed.

Also, we go to Bangladesh, where at least 37 people have been killed and about 100 others injured after a packed ferry caught fire. The blaze started mid-river near the town of Jhalakathi as it sailed from the capital Dhaka to the town of Barguna. Our reporter gives us the latest news from the ground, as emergency response efforts continue.

And a Moscow court is fining Google $97 million for what it says are repeated failures to delete content Russia deems illegal. Our reporter has the story.
