Bigger financial aid cheques blocked in the US

Available for over a year

Cheques sent out to people in the US to help them during the pandemic won’t be as big as they were before – we have the latest on the politicking from the US. Global travel has been restricted and the aviation sector is severely affected – we speak with one Australian traveller who has experienced the difficulty first hand, whilst US journalist Jeremy Hobson gives us the intricacies of US travel restrictions. Plus, French designer Pierre Cardin dies – we look back at his life and influence on the fashion industry. We discuss all this with guests Alexis Goldstein in the US, and Samuel Ellis, Taipei bureau chief for Bloomberg News. (Image: Roll of US Treasury Checks. Photo by Jeff Fusco/Getty Images)
