Summary
Would you reveal your vaccine status on a dating app? UK dating app users can now display a badge on their profile to show they’ve been vaccinated against coronavirus.
Jane Garvey sits in for Adam today, and chats to Fergus about the first new treatment for Alzheimer's disease in nearly 20 years.
And Seyi Akiwowo, who works for a charity raising awareness about online abuse, explains why it's important to educate people on using social media, after the England and Wales Cricket Board suspended bowler, Ollie Robinson, for historical racist and sexist tweets.
Today’s Newscast was made by Sam Bonham with Georgia Coan and Alix Pickles. The Studio Director was Ash Taylor. Dino Sofos is the Editor.
