Coronavirus: People abused for appearing to be Chinese

We hear from people of east Asian heritage who have faced racism during the outbreak

China has accused the US of causing "panic" in its response to the coronavirus outbreak. There are more than seventeen thousand confirmed cases of the virus in China and 361 people have died in the country. During the outbreak there have been reports that people are being abused for appearing to be Chinese around the world. We hear some experiences of this.

Also, a panel of judges in Malawi is ruling on an appeal challenging the results of last May's presidential election.

And we speak to people in Nigeria's economic capital Lagos about a ban on motorbikes and motorised tricycle taxis that's left some feeling outraged.
