We hear reaction to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's interview with Oprah Winfrey

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have given a dramatic interview with Oprah Winfrey, on US television, accusing the British royal family of failing to protect them and alleging racism. The story is gaining huge attention around the world. We’ll unpick the main themes and talking points with commentators in the UK and in the US. 

We hear from the US where the first trial in the death of George Floyd is set to begin with jury selection. We’ll explain what’s expected today and look at the debate on racial tensions in the US since the death of George Floyd. 

And, this week marks one year since the pandemic was declared. We'll be hearing conversations throughout the week with people affected. Today we hear from supermarket workers - three people who have worked during the pandemic, a job they have done with great personal sacrifice. 

And our regular medical expert, Dr Eleanor Murray from Boston University School of Public Health will be giving her reflections on the year and answering listeners questions about the pandemic.
