On Monday's Backchat, two topics - more on Covid-19, and the Sino-US meeting in Anchorage.

How is the vaccination programme going? What are latest infection figures like? What should we know before and after getting the jabs?

From 9am-9:30am, we'll be discussing the impact of the first top level face-to-face meeting between China and the US since Joe Biden was sworn in as the US President.
