Australia correspondent Bernard Keane joins Kathryn to look at how Sydney's lockdown will have a noticeable economic effect, with the government under pressure to increase financial support.

Thousands of anti-lockdown protestors march on the streets of the central business district of Sydney on July 24, 2021, as people gathered to demonstrate against the city's month-long stay-at-home orders.
