India: How to ease the world's largest lockdown?

World Business Report

Available for over a year

We hear about efforts to ease the world's largest lockdown - that of India's 1.3 billion people - and whether it will come in time to save some of the country's small businesses. Also on the programme, we ask why a judge has dismissed the United States World Cup winning women's football teams equal pay claim. And we're off to the city that turning itself into a giant outdoor cafe - Vilnius in Lithuania on the Baltic coast. The mayor there explains why he has made the decision to open its squares and public spaces to restaurants and cafes. And sticking with food - we hear from the Belgian farming group urging its citizens to eat more potatoes. PHOTO: India during lockdown. Credit: AFP
