Germany introduces new covid restrictions

Coronavirus cases have risen sharply in Germany in recent weeks.

Coronavirus cases have risen sharply in Germany in recent weeks. Several of the worst-hit states, including Saxony and Bavaria have introduced new restrictions on unvaccinated people at indoor public venues. We get a sense of the changing picture in Munich from Rachel Preece, a writer and editor who has lived there for more than a decade. And we hear about the impact on business from Bernd Ohlmann, who is the head of Munich's association of retailers. Also in the programme, campaign group the Tax Justice Network estimates that countries are losing $483bn in tax a year because of what they term "global tax abuse". Rachel Etter-Phoya is senior researcher for the Network, and brings us the details. Plus, a sinister cybersecurity threat has emerged in the form of stalkerware - monitoring apps used for cyberstalking through the victim鈥檚 smartphone or computer. The 主播大秀's Ivana Davidovic reports on what the tech companies doing about it and how users can avoid becoming victims.
