Yesterday the Prime Minister signalled his determination to lift all remaining COVID rules in England two weeks from today on February 24th. It would mean people wouldn't have to isolate if they have covid, even though that would still be recommended. Today's Nick Robinson spoke to Professor Melinda Mills, Head of the Department of Sociology at Oxford University and member of the sub-group of SAGE, SPI-B. Also on the programme was Jonathan Neame, Chief Executive of Shepherds Neame pub chain. While the proposed changes would only apply to England, the programme heard from BBC Wales correspondent Hywel Griffith and BBC Scotland correspondent Jamie McIver about the potential for easing restrictions there. Finally, Today's Martha Kearney spoke to Humza Yousaf, the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care in the Scottish Government, after the SNP called the PM's proposal to end self-isolation ‘bizarre'.

As Australia's general election campaign comes to an end Hywel Griffith asks if, whatever the result, the entire political class has now lost the respect of voters. And in India, the world's biggest democracy, Ritula Shah considers what the onion might tell us about the outcome of the election there. Emir Nader visits the Rif region in Northern Morocco to meet farmers who grow much of the cannabis that gets consumed in Europe. In Bosnia Katy Fallon watches migrants - desperate to enter the EU - "play the game"; doing what they can to cross the border into Croatia without papers. And Margaret Bradley takes a long look at how the property market has developed in Portugal. As prices have climbed, resentment has soared. Presenter: Kate Adie Producer: Rosamund Jones

Kate Adie introduces dispatches by: Yolande Knell in Qaraqosh, who observes Iraq's trials of people accused of fighting for so-called Islamic State; Martin Patience, who takes his leave of Nigeria with mixed emotions after a two-year stay; Matthew Hill in Sri Lanka, who finds that the strains and tensions between those who govern and many of those whom they govern are intensifying; Harriet Constable, who reports from Kenya on the increasingly violent and costly incidence of sand harvesting; and Hywel Griffith visits one of Australia's many micro-nations to meet the white-bearded Prince Paul of Wy to discover why he has set up his own realm.

Bridget Kendall introduces correspondents' stories. Today, Tim Hartley hears how politics are forgotten amid the colour and friendship of the African Cup of Nations in Gabon. Nick Sturdee has a fantastical tale of intrigue and murder in Turkey - but where does the trail lead? Hywel Griffith, in Sydney, Australia, is with the 90 year old who is keeping the developers at bay. Emma Levine hunts down Albania's elusive rail network; and phoning home may have been difficult during the Kosovo conflict but Andrew Gray remembers fondly the opportunities and advantages of not being connected.
