Stocks fall as more than 50 countries confirm coronavirus cases

World Health Organisation says most- if not all- countries should expect outbreaks.

As the coronavirus continues to spread, stock markets across the globe are suffering their worst week since 2008. We speak to our business reporter in New York and also hear from business owners around the world. And our correspondents in Japan, South Korea and Afghanistan explain how the outbreak has affected their part of the world.

We explain the fighting in the Syrian province of Idlib with the help of BBC Arabic, Turkish and Russian Services.

And, our reporter in Delhi has spoken to the BBC's different Indian language services about their coverage of this week's religious violence.

We also hear about a boss in the US, who decided to give all his employees a $70,000 minimum salary.
