Trump impeachment trial: New video shown of Capitol riots

Dramatic footage shows police under attack and rioters coming close to politicians

We go to Washington DC to hear the latest on Donald Trump's second impeachment trial. Senators have been shown dramatic video footage of rioters clashing with police and sometimes coming within metres of politicians. A two-thirds majority is required to convict Mr Trump, but the vast majority of Republicans have remained loyal to him.

Also, Dr Swapneil Parikh, an infectious diseases researcher in Mumbai, joins us to answer your questions about the pandemic and give us the latest on how India is dealing with the virus. If you have a question to ask, send to our WhatsApp number +447730 751925.

And we hear how hospital porters and cleaners, who are at higher risk of contracting Covid-19 because of their work, have been impacted by the pandemic.
