He discusses sanctions, Rex Tillerson, and the state of opposition politics in Russia today.</p><p>Then, Kadiyali M. Srivatsa, a doctor, inventor, and publisher who has worked in acute and intensive pediatric care in British hospitals, speaks with Richard about the dangers posed by antibiotic-resistant “superbugs.” He also introduces his free Dr. MAYA (Medical Advice You Access) <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.call111.maya&hl=en">app</a>, which can help prevent pandemics by monitoring clusters of infections at the local level.
