World Business Report

Available for over a year

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has unveiled a "conditional plan" to reopen society, allowing people in England to spend more time outdoors from Wednesday. The PM also said people who could not work from home should return to the workplace - but avoid public transport. The BBC's Simon Jack explains what this might mean for workers. Also in the show, we look at two medical projects that have been successfully repurposed to help in the fight against coronavirus. And we'll hear how artists who explore new media, particularly online, are experimenting under lockdown. (Picture: UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Picture credit: Getty Images.)
