Also in the programme, as budget airline Norwegian announces it is axing its long-haul network, John Strickland of air transport consultancy JLS Consulting tells us whether it marks the end of an era of airlines trying to do transatlantic flights on the cheap. Electric car maker Tesla has been asked by US regulators to recall 158,000 cars because of touchscreen problems. The BBC's Theo Leggett brings us the details. Plus we look at how up to a million Hindu pilgrims have gathered in northern India to celebrate the start of a major religious festival, despite the risks of Covid infection. (Picture: Joe Biden.
