WHO criticises squabbling over vaccines; a huge inheritance for a small French town

The vaccine wars heat up as the WHO criticises countries for squabbling; the EU says it is merely enforcing contracts.

Also, the French town bequeathed a large amount from the Jewish man they saved in 1943.

And Amsterdam's push to close one of its most famous attractions.

Joining Celia Hatton to discuss these and other issues are Loretta Napoleoni, Italian-born author and economist; and Robert Lawrence Kuhn, a corporate strategist, investment banker, and commentator on China based in the US.
