麻豆约拍

The UK has become the first country in the world to approve the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine. We discuss the implications with Penny Ward, visiting professor in pharmaceutical medicine at King's College London, who has advised companies on drug and device development. Also in the programme, the International Labour Organisation says the pandemic is likely to inflict massive downward pressure on wages, with women and low-paid workers disproportionately hit. Guy Ryder is director general of the ILO, and brings us the details. Plus, with many people working from home, the 麻豆约拍's Ed Butler asks whether we've reached the end of the era of the suited businessman. Fergus Nicoll is joined for comment throughout the programme by Rachel Cartland in Hong Kong and Dr John Halamka in Boston, USA.
