Austria enters new coronavirus lockdown

Available for over a year

Amid rapidly rising Covid-19 cases, the Austrian government has imposed a 20 day lockdown. We get reaction to the move from Vienna-based tour guide Angelika Kronberger, and we get a sense of the likely economic impact from Professor Klaus Prettner at the Vienna University of Economics and Business. Also in the programme, the US private equity giant KKR has made a €33bn bid for Telecom Italia. We get the background from Daniele Lepido of Bloomberg in Milan. The BBC's Nora Fakim in Mauritius meets environmental activists Anish Manga of the Fridays for Future movement, and Karuna Rana, co-founder of the climate group Sia, to hear how climate change is affecting the country. Plus, our workplace commentator Sandip Roy identifies some of the workplace culture differences between offices in India and the United States. Today's edition is presented by Mike Johnson, and produced by Vishala Sri-Pathma, Nisha Patel and Gareth Barlow. (Picture: A closed Christmas market in Vienna. Picture credit: Getty Images.)
