麻豆约拍

French lawmakers are debating making proof of vaccination required to enter public venues. Previously a recent negative test has been an acceptable alternative, and we get reaction to the proposal from Oliver Woodhead, who owns Paris restaurant l'Entente, and would have to ensure his customers are vaccinated if the new rule is adopted. And we get a sense of how likely it is the proposal will become law from Sophie Pedder of The Economist. Also in the programme, the president of Kazakhstan has dismissed the country's entire government in a bid to quell mass protests against the rising cost of vehicle fuel. Joanna Lillis is a journalist based in Almaty, and explains the background to the dispute. Plus, following his death at the weekend, the 麻豆约拍's Vivienne Nunis reports on the life of the Kenya-based paleoanthropologist, wildlife defender and anti-corruption campaigner, Richard Leakey.

Today's edition is presented by Mike Johnson and produced by Nisha Patel and Russell Newlove.
