India reaches Covid record

We go to India first, where the daily number of Covid deaths and infections hit new records for the fourth day in a row. We hear from the capital, Delhi, which is the worst affected city.

Also on the programme: President Biden says genocide was committed against the Armenians by the Ottoman Turks. We'll hear reactions from Yerevan and Istanbul; and we'll speak to the woman who wrote the book Nomadland, which has become the most nominated film at the Oscars.

Joining Celia Hatton on Weekend is Torrey Taussig, a research director in the Project on Europe and the Transatlantic Relationship at the Harvard Kennedy School, and Michael Peel, the European diplomatic correspondent based in Brussels for the Financial Times newspaper.
