Violence against 'a third of women'

A new World Health Organisation report says a third of women experience physical or sexual violence at some point in their lives. It's the largest ever study of the problem and covers 2000 to 2018. We'll explain the report and focus on Mexico, where there were International Women's Day protests against femicide.

As we look back at the year since the WHO declared the Covid-19 outbreak a pandemic, we speak to two people who volunteered to take part in trials which led to two of the vaccines now in widespread use. How does it feel to have played a part in developing the tool which could bring the pandemic to an end?

More demonstrations against the military coup are taking place in Myanmar. We'll focus on where the military gets its funding and how international sanctions and private investors could put it under pressure. We'll speak to a BBC journalist who has been looking at the subject in-depth.
