Vaccine supply concerns amid EU export threat

The EU calls for "fair" distribution after vaccine companies cut back on pledged supplies.

The EU calls for "fair" distribution after vaccine companies cut back on pledged supplies. The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Naomi Grimley assesses the potential impact of a threat from the EU to limit exports of vaccines outside the bloc. And we get wider context from Philip Clarke, who is a professor of health economics at the University of Oxford. Also in the programme, there have been violent scenes in the Indian capital, Delhi, as a protest by hundreds of thousands of farmers against contentious agricultural reforms descended into chaos. We hear from Kavita Kuruganti, who is one of the organisers of the protest, and get perspectives on the dispute from Hindol Sengupta of Invest in India and Kriti Upadhyay, who is an Indian agricultural expert, based in Washington, DC. Plus, we meet Ghanaian photographer, Michael Aboya, who has set up a business after winning awards and money for his photographs showing a positive side of Africa that is sometimes forgotten in favour of bad news stories.
