Coronavirus: Rise in confirmed cases in South Korea

The number of cases of Covid-19 in South Korea has surged to over 100.

South Korea has confirmed 53 new cases of Covid-19, and nearly half of these cases are linked to a church in the city of Daegu. We speak to a reporter in Seoul and to our health expert. We also hear from a woman in China's Hubei province, the centre of the outbreak. She has stayed in isolation for nearly a month now.

We go to Germany to talk about the far-right attack in the town of Hanau. Nine people with immigrant backgrounds were killed. For reaction, we reach out to people in the region's Kurdish community, and get some background about the far-right in Germany from our security correspondent Frank Gardner.

And we find out about the agreement to form a unity government in South Sudan.
