About this episode

Airdate December 13, 2020: The light at the end of the Covid tunnel - the first vaccines were administered in the U.K., and in the U.S. they're making their way around the country. Founder and Chairman of Moderna, Noubar Afeyan, talks to Fareed about his revolutionary vaccines and how they got from concept to ready-for-authorization so quickly. And, Britain has 18 days to reach a Brexit agreement. Can the U.K. and the E.U. find common ground? Fareed asks British journalist Zanny Minton Beddoes and Christine Ockrent, a journalist based in France. Then, Covid spurred another public health crisis in the U.S. and around the world: food insecurity. Fareed speaks to chef and humanitarian José Andrés about his idea to make sure no American goes hungry. 

GUESTS: Noubar Afeyan, Zanny Minton Beddoes, Christine Ockrent, José Andrés
