Wales jab success, Eurovision and living with your parents

How to vaccinate a country quickly; the UK’s singing contest woes; plus how many young adults live with their parents?

Wales has given one vaccination dose against Covid 19 to a larger proportion of their population than any other country except a couple of super tiny ones. They’ve given one vaccine dose to over 80% of their adult population. We explore some reasons why they seem to be doing so well.

The UK continues to do poorly at Eurovision – we take a look back over the years to examine why the UK used to do well, and why it doesn’t any more.

Waiting lists for NHS treatment across the UK have grown – but why are things so bad in Northern Ireland?
