BBC World Service - Weekend, G20 Vaccine Plea

Saudi Summit hears calls for equal distribution of Covid vaccine among nations

Saudi Summit hears calls for equal distribution of Covid vaccine among nations.

The G20 summit hosted by Saudi Arabia has heard calls for a coronavirus vaccine to be made available to poorer countries - we'll find out if rich nations are listening.

Also on the programme, As president Trump refuses to concede the US presidential election to president-elect Joe Biden, his fans in swing states continue to voice their support; And as Hurricane Iota leaves a trail of destruction in Nicaragua we'll find out how climate change is making big storms even bigger.

To discuss all this and more we are joined by Georgina Godwin, a Zimbabwean broadcast journalist living here in the UK and by a former UK ambassador to Afghanistan, Dominic Jermey, who is now the Director-General of the Zoological Society of London, which runs London Zoo.
