Available for over a year

China's president Xi-JinPing has handed "poverty alleviation awards" in an event designed to mark the end of extreme poverty in China.

And a year into the Covid-19 pandemic, many people are sure that our lives will never be the same ... and apparently neither will our language: we hear how the crisis has forced its way into German vocabulary.
