BBC World Service - BBC OS, Minnesota: Daunte Wright shot dead by police

Police have shot dead a black man in a traffic stop in the US, just north of Minneapolis

We’ll be hearing from Minnesota where police have fatally shot a black man in a traffic stop in the US city of Brooklyn Center, just north of Minneapolis. We’ll be returning to people in the area who we spoke to after the killing of George Floyd last year.

China's top disease control official has said the efficacy of the country's Covid vaccines is low.  We’ll hear more about the vaccination process in China from a BBC regional specialist and also learn more about the procedures in place to combat the virus in China. With Chile being one of the countries to be using one of the Chinese vaccines, we hear the conversation in the country about its usage.

And, as a result of the pandemic many countries have brought in a hotel quarantine system, whereby people arriving from abroad have to isolate, in a hotel, for a period of time - that can range from a few days, up to 14 days. We hear a conversation between people who are currently staying in quarantine hotels in Indonesia, Australia and New Zealand.
