A surge of Covid cases in parts of Asia has brought new restrictions on businesses - we speak with an expert epidemiologist in India to look at how it is spreading in the region. A big fine for Amazon shows that the battle over data privacy is starting to get pricey, and we'll hear from one of the most high profile women on Wall Street about her fears that women are being financially left behind by the pandemic. We discuss all this with Sharon Brettkelly - presenter of the Detail podcast for Radio New Zealand.
