Ethiopia conflict developing into a 'full-scale humanitarian crisis'

The conflict in Ethiopia's northern Tigray region is developing into a "full-scale humanitarian crisis", the UN has said. At least 27,000 people have so far fled to neighbouring Sudan, and the UN says its teams there are overwhelmed. We bring you the latest on what's happening in Ethiopia.

Also, since the start of this pandemic we have been bringing you conversations with people around the world to hear how their lives have been affected by coronavirus. Today we go to Latin America and speak to three women to hear how their countries across the region have been affected by rising rates of domestic violence and less access to help.

And every day we invite a medical expert to help us understand the latest news about coronavirus and to answer audience questions. Today, we will be joined by Dr Isaac Bogoch - an infectious diseases physician and scientist from the University of Toronto.
