Tanzania's President Magufuli dies

Tanzania's President John Magufuli has died aged 61. Mr Magufuli had not been seen in public for more than two weeks and rumours had been circulating about his health. The official cause of death given was heart complications, but opposition politicians said last week that he had contracted Covid-19. We'll explain what we know so far and speak to Tanzanians to hear their reactions to the news.

Also, we'll continue answering your questions about the coronavirus pandemic and vaccines. Today we are joined by Dr Rick Malley - a paediatric infectious disease doctor at Boston Children’s Hospital, who specialises in vaccines.

And we'll look at the findings of the European Union’s medicine regulator, who have been reviewing data on whether there is any link between blood clotting and the Oxford-AstraZeneca Covid vaccine.
