BBC World Service - World Business Report, EU to introduce export controls on coronavirus vaccines made within the bloc

The World Health Organization has again warned against vaccine nationalism.

The World Health Organization has chided wealthier countries for squabbling over coronavirus vaccine supplies, after the European Union said it would bring in export controls on vaccines produced within the bloc. The head of the WHO, Dr Tedros Ghebreyesus, again warned that vaccine nationalism would only prolong the pandemic. 

Also in the programme, a Dutch court has ruled Shell Nigeria must pay compensation over a 2004 oil spill.  

Plus - we have been finding out why sales of dogs, cats and all sorts of other pets have soared during the pandemic. 

Plus, this year's virtual Sundance Film Festival is under way. We hear about the potential impact of the event from Blerta Basholli, writer and director of Hive, which is one of the films being featured.
