Coronavirus: Death of Wuhan doctor sparks grief and anger
Li Wenliang died after contracting the virus while treating a patient in Wuhan
The death of Chinese doctor Li Wenliang, who tried to warn the country about the coronavirus, has created a wave of angry comments on social media about his fate. But hashtags about freedom of speech and many comments have been censored. We talk about the backlash, hear a BBC Chinese interview with Li Wenliang's father, and put more audience questions about the virus to our health correspondent.
Also, the British TV presenter Phillip Schofield has announced that he is gay, after 27 years of marriage to his wife. We speak to women whose husbands also came out as gay.
And ahead of the next Democratic debate, which is taking place in New Hampshire, US, we hear from our senior North America reporter Anthony Zurcher.
