EU leaders isolate after Macron tests positive

The French leader’s spokesperson said he'd displayed symptoms such as a cough and tiredness. He's self-isolating for seven days. His positive test result has prompted several European leaders who've been in contact with him this week to also go into quarantine.

Also in the programme: officials in Nigeria say more than three-hundred schoolboys taken captive last week by gunmen have now been released, Russia’s athletes won't be able to compete at the delayed Tokyo Olympics next year and scientists say analysis of the remains of a cargo of ivory found in a 500-year-old shipwreck have revealed the devastation inflicted by centuries of poaching.
