CNN fires unvaccinated employees going to office

Available for over a year

News network CNN has fired three unvaccinated employees for going to an office. We explore the legal implications of such a move with Robert Lian, who is an attorney with Akin Gump, specialising in complex labour and employment litigation. Also in the programme, locations in Italy now require a Covid pass for entry, via vaccination or a negative test. The rules apply to restaurants, theatres and tourist attractions, and we get reaction to the move from Cristina Caroli, who runs the Caffe Aroma in Bologna. The BBC's Tamasin Ford reports on efforts to bring coronavirus vaccine production to Africa. Plus, the Barcelona FC football player Lionel Messi is to leave the club after more than two decades, according to the club, because of Spanish league rules that limit what players can be paid compared to club revenues. Spanish football journalist Alvaro Romeo explains the background. (Picture: A CNN logo. Picture credit: Getty Images.)
