Newsday

Available for over a year

In a prime time television event, President Biden addressed America and defended his 1.9 trillion dollar stimulus package - we'll hear how his plans to overcome the pandemic have been received. We speak to a doctor in Manaus in Brazil who describes the pressure health workers are under - in a country with the second highest death toll from the pandemic. Also a warning from a former high level British intelligence officer that the UK needs to speed up its plans to protect itself from undue foreign influence. And we'll hear why sea slugs chop their heads from their bodies - and grow them back again.
