Australia set to reopen borders

Australia will reopen its international borders from November after an 18-month-Covid-travel ban, giving long-awaited freedoms to vaccinated citizens, residents and their relatives. Also in the programme: the White House threatens further sanctions against Ethiopia after it expels UN officials in a row over aid to the war-torn Tigray region; and the real-life rivalry between Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla in a new opera.
