BBC World Service - BBC OS, EU looks to ease travel restrictions

The EU plans to ease restrictions on non-essential travel from overseas

We look at how travel restrictions may be safely lifted in the coming months. The European Union has proposed lifting restrictions on non-essential travel to the EU for fully vaccinated people and for people from countries with low infection rates. Meanwhile, Australia’s threat to jail citizens returning home from India has sparked condemnation. We get a view from our regular coronavirus expert, Dr Manfred Green in Israel. 

The coronavirus crisis in India is showing no signs of slowing down. Many junior doctors and medical students have been called on to help treat Covid-19 patients in the current wave. We have a conversation with three young medics about their experiences.

And we explain what's expected in one of the most important court cases in Apple's history. Epic Games, makers of the hugely popular Fortnite, accuse Apple of being anti-competitive.
