David Miliband: President, International Rescue Committee
With a few exceptions the world's response to coronavirus pandemic has been handled badly, the head of the International Rescue Committee, David Miliband, has said.
It may be a global pandemic but Covid-19 has hardly united the world around a collective response. We have seen world leaders focus on national self-interest rather than international collaboration. That could spell disaster for those countries least able to cope with a protracted public health crisis. Stephen Sackur speaks to David Miliband, president of the international charity the International Rescue Committee and a former UK Foreign Secretary. What kind of world will emerge from this pandemic?
