India expands vaccine programme

India has become the first country in the world to record more than 400,000 coronavirus infections in a single day.

As the government struggles to cope with thousands of death every day, people have been forced to build makeshift funeral pyres. We'll hear from Manish Pal Singh - he and his family run an organisation called Shaheed Bhagat Singh Sewa Dal, which provides basic emergency services and organisations cremations.

Also in the programme: new research has shown that the Brazilian part of the Amazon rainforest is now emitting more greenhouse gases than it absorbs; and Artificial Intelligence is with us for better, for worse - but can it be regulated at a global level?
