First woman, first African: Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala becomes WTO boss

The former Nigerian finance minister, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has become the first woman and the first African to be appointed as director general of the World Trade Organization. We go to Nigeria to hear what is expected from her leadership.

We also hear again from protesters in Myanmar demanding the restoration of democracy after a military coup.

Also, Dr Eleanor Murray - assistant professor of epidemiology at Boston University School of Public Health - will answer audience questions about the pandemic and look at the latest lines on the story.

We learn how sniffer dogs are being used to detect Covid-19 infections and speak to a dog trainer who works with “Covid dogs” at Helsinki airport.
