We take a look at the trade in wild animals, which has been seen as a possible source of the Covid-19 coronavirus spreading around the world, which originated in Wuhan, China. Peter Knights is chief executive of Wild Aid, an organisation that campaigns against wild animal markets. Professor Andrew Cunningham is from the Zoological Society of London, and examines diseases transmitted from animals to humans. And Deborah Cao is a professor in animal law at Griffith University in Australia, who argues regulation in live animal markets hasn't been as tough as it should have been. Also in the programme, we assess the latest infection rates for coronavirus and their impact on markets. Michael Hewson is chief market analyst for CMC Markets, and talks us through the latest moves, whilst the 大象传媒's Theo Leggett discusses new central bank fiscal stimulus measures. Plus we hear from James Watt, founder and chief executive of brewing company Brewdog, which has diverted some of its facilities away from making spirits into producing hand sanitiser, which has recently been in short supply, as a result of the pandemic.
