The WHO condemns squabbling over COVID-19 vaccines; bird-watching takes off in New York

The World Health Organization strongly condemns the world's richer countries for squabbling over coronavirus vaccine supplies.

Also, enterprising New Yorkers have been seeking alternative pandemic-friendly recreational activities - bird-watching has become the city’s hottest new pastime.

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.
