However, it’s not on tonight (Monday March 22)… why? And when will it be on again?

In it, journalist Jane Corbin investigates Covid-19 policies pursued by governments around the world.

She sets out to discover which nations have had the most successful approach, how the outcomes can be analysed and attempts to understand what lessons might be learned for future pandemics.
