Coronavirus: People who deliberately get it

We hear two people talk about why they decided to deliberately catch Covid-19. We examine the beliefs and justifications behind their decisions, with our regular expert guests.

Also, In Canada, police are negotiating with anti-vaccine protesters who have occupied a bridge in Ottawa which has important travel routes to the US city of Detroit. In France, a similar protest is planned place against Covid restrictions there. We hear voices from both places.

And with Russian forces conducting major military manoeuvres in Belarus and the Black Sea, the British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, is visiting Brussels and Warsaw in support of NATO allies. Britain’s foreign secretary is also holding talks in the Kremlin with her Russian counterpart. We look at the diplomatic efforts to de-escalate tensions between Russia and its neighbour Ukraine.
