Description

The EU has responded to the US favouring a waiver of coronavirus vaccine patents. European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen says the bloc is prepared to discuss how a suspension could work. We get reaction to the development from Thomas Cueni, director general of the International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers and Associations.
Also in the programme, almost all of the UK's 50 biggest employers questioned by the BBC have said they don't plan to bring staff back to the office full time. We discuss the implications with the BBC's business editor, Simon Jack.
And we speak to Shannon Poulin, corporate vice president at Intel, about how the company is dealing with the current shortage of semi-conductors.
