Coronavirus: The view from China and Italy

We hear from China, where the outbreak began, and Italy, one of the worst-affected places

The World Health Organization has said that the coronavirus outbreak has "pandemic potential". It comes as for a second day, more cases have been reported outside than inside China. We speak to our colleagues in China, where the coronavirus outbreak began, and Italy, which is one of the worst-affected countries.

Also, we return to India's capital Delhi, where for the past week there has been religious violence - the worst that the city has seen in decades. It all started over a controversial citizenship law that critics think is anti-Muslim. Our reporter in Delhi, Divya Arya, reflects on the week with colleagues in the bureau covering the news for India's different language services.

And a new children's book has been published in the US that's been getting lots of attention online. "Her Body Can" is about an 8-year-old girl who is plus-size. We speak to one of the authors.
