The debate over lockdown vs economy

Newsday

Available for over a year

As the UK bring in new restrictions to try and control the rise in Covid-19 cases, an economist and a public health expert debate the pros and cons of the measures countries are taking. The Prime Minister of Norway will be telling us about going green - her vision for how the oil-rich country can turn towards renewable energy. And we'll speak to the surfer who lost his board off Hawaii only for it to be found more than two years later, thousands of kilometres away on the other side of the ocean in the Philippines.
