BBC World Service - Weekend, India's Covid infections soar

India registers more than 4 million Coronavirus cases; a note change for John Cage

India reaches a grim milestone, as the country now reports more than 4 million cases of the Coronavirus.

A note change in a composition that is due to take 639 years to perform.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are the journalist, Isabel Hilton, CEO of China Dialogue which describes itself as an independent, non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting a common understanding of China’s environmental challenges; and Chris Smith, a consultant medical virologist and a lecturer at the University of Cambridge. He is also the host of the radio show – The Naked Scientist.
