Coronavirus: 'Safer at home' order in Los Angeles
Coronavirus cases surge in Los Angeles and people are ordered to stay at home
We hear from Los Angeles where residents have been told to remain at home, following an unprecedented surge in coronavirus cases. This comes as the United States hits record Covid cases and hospitalisations.
We also hear from the teacher in India who's won this year's Global Teacher Prize. He's been praised for improving the education of girls in his village, winning a million dollar prize fund. We talk about Russia鈥檚 Sputnik V vaccine as Russia's President Putin orders large-scale vaccinations to begin next week.
And we've spoken to the doctor in Texas who became a viral story when a photo showed him in full PPE hugging and comforting a Covid-19 patient on Thanksgiving.
