Coronavirus: Brazil's deepening crisis

We continue to speak to people in Brazil about the serious situation with the coronavirus outbreak. Yesterday we heard from Sao Paolo and Salvador and today we hear from two journalists, one in the state of Minas Gerais and another in Santa Catarina. They describe the situation as "disastrous" with people dying while waiting for a hospital bed.

We connect people in Costa Rica, the UK and the United States who have all experienced a loss or change in their sense of taste or smell for months after having Covid-19. We also talk about their experiences with a medical professor who specialises in taste and smell.

We'll also discuss the Biden administration's announcements on guns in the United States. The president is due to sign an executive order to try to reduce the number of so-called "ghost guns" - homemade weapons with no serial number, which are difficult to trace.
