EU leaders have struck a deal on a huge coronavirus recovery package after days of talks. The €750bn deal is split almost evenly between non-repayable grants and low-interest loans, and Sam Fleming, Brussels bureau chief of the Financial Times explains how it works. The Netherlands is one of several so-called ‘frugal’ nations, which aimed to restrict the scope of grants, and we get a reaction to the measures from Dutch member of parliament Anne Mulder. And former Italian prime minister Enrico Letta gives us his response. Also in the programme, an influential British parliamentary committee has called for tougher action on the part of the British government against websites and social media platforms that allow dangerous misinformation to spread about the coronavirus. We find out what sort of misinformation campaigns are causing concern from Julian Knight MP, chair of the committee. Plus, as politicians talk of the importance of a green recovery in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, we consider what that might look like with Sir Tim Smit, co-founder of the Eden Project visitor attraction in Cornwall.
