Lebanon: Young protesters in conversation

We spend some time talking to young Lebanese people, who have been protesting against the economic crisis and corruption since October last year. They talk about their future prospects and explain how the sectarian politics of the country affects their lives.

Also, we continue to hear from people in Wuhan, the Chinese city at the centre of the coronavirus outbreak. Travel restrictions across the country are being extended and public places are closed down.

And in India, a leader of the governing BJP party has caused a stir on social media by talking about “the strange eating habits” of his construction workers in his house. Kailash Vijavargiya said their dish, Poha made him suspect they were from Bangladesh. We get reaction from Indians.
