WHO warns of more possible waves of Covid-19

BBC World Service - Weekend, WHO warns of more possible waves of Covid-19

World Health Organisation appeals for no let-up in the fight against Covid-19

As the World Health Organisation appeals for no let-up in the fight against Covid-19, we hear from Prof. Andrew Pollard one of the scientists behind the Oxford vaccine. 

Also in the programme: the story of three trailblazing female journalists who covered the Vietnam War and how they have inspired generations of war reporters.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Charlotte Leslie, director of the Conservative Middle East Council, an organisation which promotes greater understanding of the Middle East amongst parliamentarians in the UK; and Christos Christou, president of Médecins Sans Frontières, or 'Doctors Without Borders', the international humanitarian non-governmental organisation.
