Coronavirus: the new hotspots

We take you to South Korea, Italy and Iran with updates on the Covid-19 outbreaks there.

Fears are growing that the coronavirus outbreak could reach pandemic scale as more cases emerge around the world. Most infections are in China but other nations like South Korea, Italy and Iran are battling the virus. We hear from the new hotspots.

Also, we bring you the breaking news of a verdict reached in Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein's trial in New York. He has been found guilty of rape and sexual assault but cleared of the most serious charge against him of predatory sexual assault and first degree rape, which could have carried a life sentence.

And we hear from the reporter who has investigated the relationship between elite British athlete Mo Farah and his banned former coach Alberto Salazar.
