Workers at large US companies are to be vaccinated, or face regular mandatory testing. That's one of a slew of measures announced by President Biden, which aim to bring the Delta variant of coronavirus back under control in America. We get business reaction to the move from Stephen Lamar, chief executive of the American Apparel and Footwear Association. Also in the programme, there's a shortage of lorry drivers in the UK. It is having an impact on everything from chicken in restaurants to beer in pubs. We hear from drivers, driving instructors, retailers and the wholesale industry what's causing the shortfall, and what can be done to solve it.

Fashion historian Dr Kate Strasdin also joins the programme to explain how historically people have used clothing to re-define themselves after a collective trauma.
