Newsday

Available for over a year

We go to Kolkata where local media is reporting a positivity rate as high as 50%. There are reports of intense fighting in Myanmar near the Thai border. We get the latest from our correspondent monitoring the situation there. And the British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, first mentioned a pill that might replace Covid vaccinations last week. We hear from a Glasgow University team which is trialling this type of antiviral flu drug.
