Newsday

Available for over a year

Early polls in the Polish parliamentary election shows the incumbent, Andrez Duda, of the ruling Law and Justice party, leading by two per cent. We'll look at just how divided society there is. It's claimed that the coronavirus pandemic has led to a 20 per cent reduction in health and social services for women and children worldwide. And we hear from the British cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason - who won worldwide fame after he played at the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle - about his experience in lockdown.
