Biden sets Covid vaccine mandate for businesses

Workers at firms with more than 100 employees must be fully vaccinated by 4th January.

President Biden has set a mandate which says workers at firms with more than 100 employees must be double vaccinated by 4th January. We get reaction from our reporter Michelle Fleury in New York.
As more and more of us shop online, many customers are choosing to 'buy now, pay later' with interest free credit options. But is this just tempting young shoppers to get into debt? Ed Butler has a special report.
Also in the programme, from COP26 we hear from Jen Jenisch, chief executive of Swiss cement maker Holcim Group, about the company's plans to go green.
Plus, a study in the US has shown that employees now take fewer sick days since the pandemic forced people to work at home. We speak to Erica Pandy, business reporter at Axios, about the results of the report.

Sasha Twining is joined throughout the programme by Jasper Kim, professor at Ewha University in Seoul, and by Erin Delmore, political reporter in New York.
