Football finance expert, Kieran Maguire tells us the details. Also in the programme, a spike in COVID infections in Kenya has triggered new travel restrictions with a curfew imposed in Nairobi over the weekend.

Former head of the African Development Bank, Donald Kaberuka explains the impact vaccine nationalism could have on the continent. Plus, Mexico's top broadcaster Televisa and Univision of the US have agreed to a $4.8 billion content merger aimed at launching a Spanish language streaming service to take on the likes of Netflix .
