BBC World Service - Weekend, The politics to succeed Ruth Bader Ginsburg

US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg dead at 87; a sharp rise in COVID-19 cases

As the race is on to succeed US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who has died at the age of 87, we look at her life and legacy.

A spike in coronavirus cases in countries once known for low cases.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Michela Wrong, a journalist and author specialising in Africa, and Eric Albert, a London-based correspondent for French newspaper, Le Monde.
