What will world diplomacy look like post-COVID-19? UK Foreign Affairs Chair on "protecting our home" - a podcast by 5 News

The coronavirus pandemic has hit countries around the world with each government having to quickly create a strategy to combat the spread of the virus.

Many countries have followed guidance from the World Health Organisation but there hasn't been a consistent global effort to fight COVID-19.

Each country and government has faced their own challenges in their own way, so will this lead to a change in rhetoric for global diplomacy after the pandemic is contained?

Andy Bell speaks with Tom Tugendhat MP, the Chairman of the UK's Foreign Affairs Committee, who thinks foreign policy has never been more important as a way to protect our interests and "protect our home".

They discuss Covid-19's origin, the dialogue between superpowers US and China, and how the UK will appear on the world stage after the outbreak as it attempts to continue with Brexit.
