Fast food chain sets safety conditions as it reopens restaurants after coronavirus lockdown

McDonald's restaurants in the US are issuing pages of guidance to restaurants to ensure customer and staff safety as they open up after the coronavirus lockdown. Heather Haddon of the Wall Street Journal talks us through them and the concerns of franchisees. We have the latest jobs figures from the US and hear how undocumented workers may be putting their lives at risk with little protection from the pandemic. Also on the programme we examine the race to be the first to produce a coronavirus vaccine. With nations pressuring corporations to make them first in line, Kalipso Chalkidou, 
Director of Global Health Policy and Senior Fellow at the Center for Global Development reminds us that this is a global emergency that requires all of us to act together. The BBC's Victoria Craig reports on efforts under way to save Britain's cheese industry from collapsing under the weight of coronavirus with Jason Hinds of cheese retailer Neal's Yard Dairy, Joe Schneider, owner of Stichelton Dairy, and Miguel Gomez, associate professor at Cornell University.
Rob Young is joined throughout by Paddy Hirsch of NPR in Los Angeles and Stefanie Yuen Thio at TSMP Law in Singapore.
