Confusion around AstraZeneca vaccine data

Big Boss Interview

Questions have arisen over the efficacy levels of the Coronavirus vaccine from AstraZeneca and the University of Oxford. The FT’s Donato Paolo Mancini explains the concerns. Also in the programme, the price of the digital currency Bitcoin slumped after rallying through the year. Billy Bambrough, who writes for Forbes, explains why the currency can be so volatile. Plus, we hear from a restaurant in London helping Americans in the city enjoy Thanksgiving. And the BBC’s Ed butler looks into whether NFL players are being denied compensation because of the controversial practice of racial-norming. All through the show we’ll be joined by Jasper Kim, Director of the Centre for Conflict Management at Ewha University in Seoul, and Stephanie Hare, a researcher of technology and political risk.
