Coronavirus conversations: Midwives

As part of our regular series of Coronavirus conversations, we speak to three midwifes in the US, Nigeria and Romania to find out how the last year has been for them and what has changed in the delivery room.

And we continue to track the spread of the coronavirus around the world, and today we look at the situation in France. The number of virus cases continues to rise there and health experts fear that the country is not doing enough to curb the rise. We ask our reporter why the current lockdown restrictions are not working. We also speak to our specialist misinformation reporter who’s been investigating why France is one of the most vaccine sceptical countries in the world.

We also look in-depth at the migrant crisis on the US Southern border; Ros Atkins explains why after the change of policy by Biden presidency, unaccompanied children are not being turned back.
