BBC World Service - Newshour, EU launches mass coronavirus vaccination programme

Relief in sight with mass vaccination in Europe - but how long will it take to roll out?

Relief is in sight for European countries stricken by the COVID-19 pandemic as mass vaccination begins. We ask how long it will take to roll the vaccines out, and whether the EU has enough doses. 

Also in the programme: a look at the Central African Republic, where a general election is being overshadowed by fears of a coup supported by the former president; and a review of a turbulent year in Hong Kong.
