EU dampens hopes for coronavirus vaccine patents to be waived to boost production.

India has had a devastating week with almost four thousand people dying every day. We hear the latest from the capital Delhi and also from a doctor in the southern city of Bangalore.

Also on the programme: a message smuggled out of Ethiopia from the head of the country's orthodox church; and we hear from the state of Arizona following President Biden's halt to construction on his predecessor's wall along the southern US border.  

Joining Celia Hatton on Weekend is Rokhaya Diallo, a French journalist, writer and filmmaker from Paris; and Carne Ross a former British diplomat and the founder of Independent Diplomat, a diplomatic advisory group.
