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 17,000 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, we speak to an old school friend of Super Bowl star Patrick Mahomes after he guided Kansas City to their first Super Bowl win in more than 50 years. Spencer Shaw predicted in their school yearbook that Mahomes would get a Super Bowl ring.
And in Nigeria's economic capital Lagos a ban on motorbikes and motorised tricycle taxis has left some people feeling outraged. We hear different views on the ban.
