Emmanuel Macron: French president tests positive for Covid

We go to France to hear how the nation is reacting to the news that their 42-year-old president has tested positive for Covid-19. Emmanuel Macron and many European leaders who have been in contact with him will now have to self-isolate for seven days.

We also continue our conversations about pandemic poverty in the United States and hear from one father who has lost it all and is about to be evicted.

And we 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 as talks over the future relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union continue, we discuss the impact of Brexit on immigration which was one of the defining issues for many who supported Britain’s exit from the EU.
