Will Covid vaccinations start by the end of the year?

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

New York City is temporarily closing its schools eight weeks after they reopened, fearing that a second wave of coronavirus has arrived. That announcement came on the day the US department of health said the two coronavirus vaccines developed by Pfizer and Moderna could be available for use within weeks. Boeing 737 Max has been cleared to fly again, but is that the end of Boeing's problems? Also in the programme, we hear about plans to ban sales of new cars powered wholly by petrol and diesel from 2030 in the UK. And, we look at the efforts to make it easier to deal with people's digital legacies on social media after they die. Plus - the problem with online translations. We are joined throughout the programme by guests Shuli Ren in Hong Kong and Mitchell Hartman in the US PHOTO: Getty Images
