We discuss the relaxation of rules in England as well as OPEC's much delayed oil decision
From Monday there will be no limits on how many people can meet or attend events, nightclubs can reopen and table service will no longer be compulsory in pubs and restaurants.

And will people still wear masks now that it's no longer legally required? We get analysis from Doctor Katie Attwell, a vaccination, social science and policy expert at the University of Western Australia. Meanwhile OPEC and allies like Russia have agreed to increase production from next month, aiming to keep a lid on rising crude prices; independent economist Michael Hughes tells us whether these aims are likely to be achieved. China is banning the construction of very tall skyscrapers, after a 70 storey building in Shenzhen started to wobble; we get analysis from the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Kerry Allen.
