Description

The U.K. has begun the rollout of the Pfizer vaccine and all eyes will be on them for things they do right and things they get wrong. It has been less than a week that Britain has granted emergency use authorization and because of limited supplies and how difficult the Pfizer vaccine is to ship and store, only about 50 hospital hubs will be able to administer the vaccine for now. Joanna Sugden, assistant editor at the WSJ based in London, joins us for how vaccine distribution is going in the U.K.




Next, President Trump continues his fight to overturn the election but his time is running out. He will have to leave the White House come January, but his protracted fight is causing rifts in the Republican Party with many party leaders supporting the president's claim of a stolen election and Republican governors that have certified his loss. David Siders, national political correspondent at Politico, joins us for how the president's influence impacts the party in the Georgia Senate runoff election, the midterms, and 2024.




Finally, businesses across the country have been hit hard by lockdowns and restrictions, but in Los Angeles, there is a revolt when it comes to a ban on outdoor dining. Restaurants feel like they are scapegoats for the lockdowns with elected officials failure to provide the science behind their reasons to close outdoor dining. Some restaurants owners are filing lawsuits and even planning on defying lockdown rules to keep their businesses afloat. Anh Do, reporter at the LA Times, joins us for more.
