The Duke's death has prompted prayers at Sunday church services across the world

The Duke's death has prompted prayers at Sunday church services across the world.

The Duke of Edinburgh's death has prompted prayers of remembrance at Sunday church services around the world. The senior bishop of the worldwide Anglican communion, the Most Reverend Justin Welby, will lead a remembrance service at Canterbury Cathedral in the UK.

Also in the programme: How the WHO has missed its vaccine distribution target and the story of a soldier living with untreated PTSD has been made into a feature film.

Joining Paul Henley to discuss these and other stories are Rosamund Urwin, media and technology correspondent for the Sunday Times magazine in the UK and Kai Kupferschmidt, a contributing correspondent for Science magazine in Berlin.
