A rally against agriculture reforms in India turned violent on Tuesday, after protesting farmers broke through police barricades to storm Delhi's historic Red Fort complex. One protester died and more than 80 police officers were injured. The BBC's Jamie Robertson talks to Kimberley Adams from Marketplace and Sushma Ramachandran in Delhi. Meanwhile, leaders of the European Union are furious after the British drug giant AstraZeneca said it's cutting deliveries of vaccines to the EU by 60% in January to March. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen told a virtual meeting of the World Economic Forum that the bloc would now monitor all vaccine exports to countries outside the EU.
