Coronavirus vaccine distribution begins in Britain

The new Coronavirus vaccines are coming soon to people in Britain - but there's a dissenting view from America that's asking for more transparency over the trial data

The new Coronavirus vaccines are coming soon to people in Britain - but there's a dissenting view from America that's asking for more transparency over the trial data – we speak with Dr Lawrence Gostin, Professor of Global Health Law at Georgetown University in Washington DC, to discuss the tough line between collective health and individual freedom, as many question whether or not to take the vaccine. Plus, as the EU strikes an investment agreement with China, we look at the recent discovery of the forced labour factories inside China's internment camps in Xinjiang; we speak with Megha Rajagopalan of BuzzFeed News who used pioneering architectural and aerial expertise to find the hidden labour factories. We discuss all this with guests Jyoti Malhotra, National & Strategic Affairs Editor at The Print, in Delhi, and Ralph Silva of the Silva Research Network in Toronto.
