On her last official visit before stepping down as Germany鈥檚 chancellor, Angela Merkel discusses travel after lockdown and trade after Brexit with Boris Johnson, who can鈥檛 resist making a sausage joke. Dr Adler is back to give us a profile one of Europe鈥檚 most influential politicians. And talking of German cuisine, we hear how Haribo might be used in the fight against covid.
