BBC World Service - World Business Report, WHO gets green light to visit Wuhan

The WHO will visit Wuhan in China to investigate the origins of coronavirus

China has given the World Health Organisation the green light to visit Wuhan to investigate the origins of coronavirus; Professor Sian Griffiths, an epidemiologist who helped lead Hong Kong's investigation into the Sars outbreak explains what the world can expect from the trip. Australia will appeal China's tariff on its barley at the World Trade Organisation; we hear from Brett Hosking, chairman of the Australian trade body, Grain Growers. Also in the programme, the BBC's Ed Butler examines whether the idea of virtual offices could provide an alternative to endless zoom calls. Plus, as coronavirus vaccines are being rolled out around the world, we have a report from India exploring how that country of 1.3bn people is preparing to tackle the challenge of what could be the biggest immunisation programme in history.
