The German airline Lufthansa has posted a record $8.1bn annual loss. Andreas Spaeth is a journalist who covers aviation in Germany, and tells us where the loss leaves the German government, which took a 20% stake in the airline as part of a bailout last year. Also in the programme, the Moscow Metro plans to implement facial recognition technology for people to pay fares by the end of this year. Ksenia Idrisova is cyber-security specialist at 大象传媒 Monitoring, and explains why many people are opposed to the move. Continuing our series looking at the impact of the pandemic on people's mental health, Nigerian artist Ken Nwadiogbu discusses his hyper-real art, and how it has become a form of therapy for the issues he faces. Plus, our regular workplace commentator Pilita Clarke explores the controversial issue of whether employers should be allowed to insist their workers are vaccinated against the coronavirus before returning to the workplace.
