Coronavirus-hit South Africa has unveiled its national budget for the coming year. The 大象传媒's Lerato Mbele in Johannesburg talks us through how tight the country's finances are, as it plans spending to help roll out Covid-19 vaccines. Also in the programme, women now occupy more than a third of the top jobs at the UK's 350 largest firms. We find out more from Denise Wilson, chief executive of the government-backed Hampton-Alexander Review, which released the latest figures, and was launched to encourage UK-listed companies to appoint more women. India is forging ahead with plans to tax digital services, and Suranjali Tandon, assistant professor at the government-backed National Institute of Public Finance and Policy explains the motivation behind the move. Plus the 大象传媒's Ed Butler reports on how coronavirus has impacted couples looking to tie the knot, as well as the global wedding industry.
