Coronavirus hits cruise lines again

Covid cases found on two different cruise ships as industry struggles to get back on its feet

Norwegian shipping company Hurtigruten temporarily suspends cruises after 41 passengers and crew test positive for Covid 19. We talk to Stewart Chiron, The Cruise Guy about how the industry can come back after the pandemic. Also in the programme, the US interests of social media company TikTok look set to be bought by Microsoft. Georgia Wells, tech reporter from the Wall Street Journal gives us the latest. The veteran environmentalist James Lovelock, inventor of the Gaia hypothesis, discusses his long and varied career. Plus, whether you're planning to take a holiday at home or overseas this summer, our regular workplace commentator Stephanie Hare explores the significance of bringing along a good book.
