Covid deaths, North Sea gas and Chloe Kelly's World Cup penalty

BBC Radio 4 - More or Less, Covid deaths, North Sea gas and Chloe Kelly's World Cup penalty

Covid-related deaths are rising in England and Wales, we investigate the figures.

Covid-related deaths are rising in England and Wales, but what do the figures really tell us?

Covid related deaths are rising in England and Wales - but what do the figures really tell us? Also the UK's GDP during the pandemic has been revised upwards. Tim Harford and team ask why and discuss what it tells us about the UK's economic performance compared to other countries. Is North Sea gas really four times cleaner than gas from abroad? It's a claim recently made by the government. And we ask whether Chloe Kelly's penalty shot at the World Cup was really faster than the Premier League's fastest goal last season.
