BBC World Service - Weekend, India records 400,000 daily cases

More than three-and-a-half thousand deaths were also recorded

More than three-and-a-half thousand deaths were also recorded.

More than 3,500 deaths were also recorded in the past twenty-four hours. But the vaccination programme is expanding, so we'll ask Professor Srinath Reddy, President of the Public Health Foundation of India, what that means for attempts to contain the spread of the virus.

Also in the programme: we'll reflect on a court ruling in Germany this week that young climate activists see as an important victory; and what impact will the pandemic and lockdowns have on elections in the Spanish capital Madrid?
