BBC World Service - World Business Report, Ethics of Vaccine Passports

The UK government announces a review into Vaccine Passports

The UK Prime Minister has confirmed a review into whether the country should develop a vaccine passport. We hear from Professor Melinda Mills on the ethics and challenges of Vaccine Passports. Also in the programme, As facebook comes to an agreement with the Australian government over links to news articles, we ask who blinked first.  There is concern that many millions of discarded face masks as a result of Covid-19 are eventually ending up as plastic waste in our oceans, and the BBC's Tamasin Ford investigates what can be done to help tackle the problem. Plus, a range of apps now promise to make tracking or calculating our personal carbon footprint easier, with a view to helping minimise our environmental impact. Christian Arno from Pawprint explains how his firm's app works.
