World Questions: The politics of Covid-19

The public's questions about their country from a different location each month

What works - and at what cost - in the fight against Covid? Jonny Dymond brings together top flight decision-makers with the public feeling the brunt of those decisions around the world. How some countries get ahead with vaccines, what the world has learned about preventing the next pandemic and whether vaccine passports are an assault on human rights - a few of the political questions on which a global panel from Singapore, USA, Kenya, South Korea and the United Kingdom, compare notes.

On the panel:
Nadhim Zahawi, MP: UK Minister for Covid-19 Vaccine Deployment
Sabina Chege, MP: Chair of Parliamentary Committee on Health, Kenya
Prof Kenneth Mac: Director of Medical Services, Singapore
Jennifer Nuzzo: Director of The Outbreak Observatory, Johns Hopkins University, USA
Jie-Ae Sohn: Former CNN Bureau Chief in Seoul and Advisor to the World Bank
