Different strategies in the battle against coronavirus

As the British prime minister, Boris Johnson, is admitted to hospital for precautionary tests after being diagnosed with Covid- 19, we explore different strategies adopted by countries around the world to contain the spread of coronavirus. The UK, Sweden and, for example, South Korea have all taken very different paths. But when will the most effective approach become obvious? 

Also in the programme, why are many struggling to find flour in supermarkets? And, we investigate how charities are also being affected by coronavirus.

Plus - why don't we have more battery-powered or electric ships?
