Welcome to the week in 60 minutes, brought to you by Spectator TV, recorded on Thursday, March the 4th.

On this week's show, there was a UK budget this week, you probably noticed.

The spectators' cracked team of economic and political journalists will break it down for you.

The successful vaccines rollout may also produce an economic recovery more quickly than we could have hoped for.

I would be speaking to the statistician,

David Spiegelhalter, about the vaccine effect. Meanwhile, the SMP's civil war rumbles on.

Nicholas Sturgeon is still Scotland's first minister, but as the Holy Ridd elections loom,

is she now the walking wounded? And finally, could President Macron lose next week's French,

sorry, and finally, could President Macron lose next year's French presidential election?

I'll be chatting to the spectators south of France correspondent, Jonathan Miller, about the

president's growing problems. All that to come in the

next hour. As always, if you subscribe to the Spectator's YouTube channel, and why wouldn't you,

We're delighted to be partners with them.

Now, lots to come up on the budget, but first, let's get an update on where we are with the vaccine.

The UK continues to lead Europe on the scale and efficiency of the vaccine rollout.

Of course, it's in our interest that everybody in Europe and elsewhere is vaccinated,

but it's good to see Britain doing something right.

And who better to break down the significance of the numbers than Professor David Spiegelhalter.

He's a statistician and chair of Cambridge's Winton Center for Risk and Evidence Communication.
