COVID message targets UK's young

BBC World Service - Weekend, COVID message targets UK's young

Young people in UK targeted with COVID messaging; Israel and Bahrain to normalise ties

How the young in the UK are being targeted by the government's Covid-19 messaging.

Also, a historic normalisation of relations between Bahrain and Israel.

And, a historic day for Afghanistan as the first formal peace talks between the government and the Taliban get underway in Qatar - we'll hear live from the talks in the capital, Doha.

Joining Pascale Harter to discuss these and other issues are Laura Spinney, a novelist, translator and science journalist, and Matthew Green, climate correspondent for the Reuters News Agency based in London.
