Coronavirus: is China over the worst?

Interviews, news and analysis of the day’s global events.

Sunday has been by far the worst single-day total worldwide since the pandemic began. There are now more than 260,000 confirmed cases – most of them outside China where the virus originated.

Also in the programme: the latest from people across three continents who have been affected by the virus; and an award-winning Egyptian novelist tells us why she staged a protest at the "catastrophic" threat to the inmates of her country's overcrowded prison.
