Canadian police try to end trucker protest

Canadian police have begun an operation to clear protesters and dozens of trucks from the centre of Ottawa

To get the latest on the Canada truck protest situation, we hear from Kristy Kirkup in Ottawa - she's the national reporter for the Globe and Mail newspaper; and we also hear from Professor Arthur Wheaton the director of labor studies at Cornell's School of Industrial and Labor relations. The World Health Organization has announced that six African countries will be given the revolutionary mRNA technology to set up their own vaccine production centres - helping the continent acquire self-reliance against the Covid pandemic. But there are still a lot of questions to answer; we hear from Anna Marriott, Health Policy Manager at Oxfam, part of the People's Vaccine Alliance. Plus, Rwanda's Ambassador to China, James Kimonyo has occasionally turned salesman to deliver Rwandan coffee and chilli products to Chinese customers.
