We鈥檒l look at the latest vaccine and other coronavirus stories with Dr Emma Hodcroft, molecular epidemiologist at the University of Basel in Switzerland. We鈥檒l also talk about Russia鈥檚 Sputnik C vaccine. A list of side-effects has been published today and the government has ordered a large-scale vaccinations to begin next week.

Also, we've spoken to the doctor in Texas who became a viral story when a photo showed him in full PPE hugging and comforting a Covid-19 patient on Thanksgiving.
