Coronavirus infections surge in Europe

A rise in coronavirus cases prompts European countries to apply restrictions.

France and Poland both go back into lockdown today as Europe faces a rise in coronavirus cases. Infections are also rising fast in Germany, with Chancellor Angela Merkel warning it's likely the country will need to re-impose measures.

Also in the programme: How to create a safe space for women and the 150th anniversary of the Paris Commune.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are: Baroness Arminka Helic, member of the House of Lords, the Upper House of the British parliament from the governing Conservative Party and John Kampfner, British broadcaster, journalist and writer.
