Coronavirus conversations: Unvaccinated in Germany

Two people in Germany tell us why they have decided not get vaccinated

The government in Germany has introduced new measures to combat the fourth wave of the pandemic. The rise of coronavirus infections is partly being fuelled by a low vaccination rate, and we’ll speak to two unvaccinated Germans to find out why they are taking this position.

Austria is reintroducing a national lockdown and making Covid vaccinations compulsory. We’ll discuss today’s announcements with our regular coronavirus expert, Dr Marc Mendelson in Cape Town, South Africa. We’ll also get voices out of Austria to hear how the nation is reacting to the news.

We'll hear extracts of the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ interview with the President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, who has admitted that his security forces have beaten up detained protesters and may have helped migrants try to cross into Poland.

Our colleague gives details of a ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ investigation into foreign-language Wikipedia pages that appear to be making misleading claims about climate change.
