BBC World Service - Business Matters, Covid cases rise in India and Brazil

We take a closer look at two countries at the centre of the global pandemic.

We analyse how a rise in Covid cases is affecting two of the world 's largest economies; India and Brazil. There's a growing consensus between western governments that corporations should pay more tax on their profits following years of cuts to business taxes; we hear from Alex Cobham, the Chief Executive of the Tax Justice Network, which campaigns for global tax reform.  Plus, Greenland's opposition party has won an election which could have major consequences for international mining interests in the Arctic. Birger Poppel, a researcher at the University of Greenland tells us what this could mean for the country’s large deposits of rare earth metals. The founder of the dating app Bumble Whitney Wolfe Herd has joined Forbes list of the super rich, which shows how popular dating apps have become; we speak to relationship coach Jo Barnett. And we're joined throughout the programme by Jeanette Rodriguez from Bloomberg in Mumbai and communications analyst Ralph Silver in Toronto. (Picture of coronavirus via Getty Images).
