Pandemic poverty in the US
We hear from Americans struggling to provide for their families.
We talk about the poverty in the US and hear more stories about people struggling to provide for their families during the pandemic. One father in Florida explains how he has lost it all and is about to be evicted.
And we explain the latest developments with the coronavirus with the help of our medical expert, Dr Emma Hodcroft, from the University of Basel in Switzerland.
We also go to Nigeria where a video has been released - apparently by the Islamist group Boko Haram - showing some of the 300 boys kidnapped last week in northwest Nigeria.
And we ask people in Tunisia what has changed in the country since the uprising ten years ago.
