Much of the world is still under some form of lockdown, albeit with eased restrictions in some places.
In this episode...
Tanzania President Magafuli has spoken out about the rt-pCR test which is being used to diagnose Covid-19. Tanzanian authorities sent samples of fruit, tree bark and a goat for tests, and the results were a perfect example of just how reliable the test is which is being used to justify, in part, locking down the world.
Black Lives Matter, apparently, a grassroots movement to tackle racism against black people, has received much attention in the media and throughout society. I talk about the wider context of the Black Lives Matter movement.
Peter Hitchens, a Daily Mail columnist who writes some very interesting pieces, believes he may have been shadow banned by YouTube. Silicon Valley is being used to lock down free speech and the free-flow of information on the internet, as I've talked about many times before.
Sweden, along with Japan, has fared much better at dealing with Covid-19 without a lockdown than Britain and America. I talk about the lockdowns and the second wave.
And finally, Keir Starmer has criticised the government's handling of the pandemic and is critical of lifting lockdown restrictions too early. Starmer has also commented on the anti-Semitism crisis. I talk about the wider context of this story.
