Global rollout of Covid-19 vaccine may be 'massively unequal'

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

Poorer countries may not see the vaccine reach them as fast as richer countries, say experts. We speak to one doctor in India, at the centre of record-breaking coronavirus cases. Plus, wildfires continue to burn across America's west coast, with smoke reaching as far as Europe. Plus, Amazon's voice assistant, Alexa, will soon have a new voice - India film megastar, Amitabh Bachchan. We discuss all this live with guests Paddy Hirsch, editor of the NPR podcast 'The Indicator' from Planet Money and Sushma Ramachandran, an independent business journalist and columnist for The Tribune newspaper.
