Why do Georgia's elections matter?
We鈥檙e following results as they come in for two crucial US Senate elections.
In the United States the Democratic Party is on course to win control of the Senate - a key institution for making and passing legislation in the US. This will be decided by the results of two elections in Georgia, which are currently coming in. The Democrat candidate Pastor Raphael Warnock is already projected to win one seat. We'll follow the results and speak to voters in Georgia.
Also, an increasing number of countries around the world are starting to vaccinate their populations against Covid-19. Today we look at Israel, which has the highest rate of vaccinations globally, with nearly 15% of the population already vaccinated. We'll speak to people in Israel and the Palestinian territories about the vaccination program.
And we'll speak to a doctor in Brazil, the country with the second most Covid-19 related deaths in the world.
