Kenya reintroduces lockdown measures

Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta has banned all inland travel in and out of five counties, including the capital Nairobi, to stop a surge of Covid-19 cases. The sale of alcohol in the areas has also been banned. Kenya’s Covid-19 positivity rate has jumped from 2% to 22% between January and March. We speak to our reporter in Nairobi and a doctor in Mombasa. We also hear from regular people across the country.

And 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.

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.
