BBC World Service - Weekend, The cases for and against Trump's impeachment rest

Both sides rest cases in Trump impeachment trial; vaccine passports a way to normality?

Both the defence and the prosecution have now rested their cases in Donald Trump's second impeachment trial.  The White House says the footage of rioting at the US Congress on January the sixth shown during the proceedings was a terrible warning to the American people.

Also, could "vaccine passports" be a means to allow a quick and safe return to normality for international travel?

Joining Paul Henley to discuss these and other issues are Anne Karpf, a British sociologist, writer, and Professor of Life Writing and Culture at the London Metropolitan University; and Mike Berners-Lee, a writer and consultant on the environment and a professor at Lancaster University here in the UK.
