$1.9 trillion stimulus plan for the US

Newsday

Available for over a year

The aim of the US recovery package is to speed up the vaccine rollout and provide financial help to all struggling with the prolonged economic fallout. We hear from a restaurant owner. We report from Brazil on how the Covid-19 pandemic is affecting life, as a new variant has been identified there too. And why do some monkeys in Bali choose to pick certain objects from tourists, like glasses? We get the answer from a researcher who's carried out a study there.
