Delayed Tokyo 2020: No overseas spectators at Olympics
Interviews, news and analysis of the day’s global events.
Japan has decided to ban people from overseas from travelling to Tokyo to watch this summer's Olympic and Paralympic Games, because of coronavirus.

Also on the programme: The latest as Turkey announces it is to pull out of a convention that protects women from violence; and in the wake of a spate of attacks targeting Asian Americans, we look at the history of their struggles as a minority.
