The US Justice Department has accused the Chinese government of sponsoring attempts to hack biotech firms- we talk about China and its relations with the rest of the world. What can be done to tackle the growing problem of fake news during the coronavirus pandemic? We speak with experts on the frontline of the fight against fakery. A study suggests that one in four people in India could have covid-19 – we get the latest view from the hospital wards with Dr Jerryl Banait in Nagpur, India.
