Covid: Is the government doing enough about China?

In this week’s episode of The i Podcast, we are lifting the lid on the UK’s response to the Covid-19 outbreak in China and what it tells us about Rishi Sunak’s Government and Britain’s place in the world.

i‘s policy editor, Jane Merrick, joins Molly Blackall to give us the inside track on splits in the Cabinet and the geopolitical implications of the decision to bring in the first travel restrictions in a year for people arriving from China.

Later, we are joined by i‘s science and environment correspondent, Tom Bawden, who has been looking at a remarkable scientific breakthrough that opens the door to the possibility of people living to until 120 – and healthily.

He takes us through the science that may be finally cracking one of science’s “holy grails” with major implications for humanity as we know it.
