We gauge the business impact of a second national lockdown due in England from Thursday. Adam Hewson runs two bookshops in London which will have to close, and offers his reaction to the news. And Emma McClarkin, chief executive of the British Beer and Pub Association tells us how the hospitality sector is likely to be hit. Meanwhile the ´óÏó´«Ã½'s Maddy Savage in Stockholm explains how Sweden's far less stringent approach to combating the coronavirus pandemic has played out there. Also in the programme, European budget airline Ryanair has reported a loss of close to €200m and says passenger numbers have dropped by 80% as a result of Covid-19. Chief executive Michael O'Leary discusses the outlook for the business.
