Hong Kong: Beijing critics sentenced

We hear from Hong Kong where pro-democracy campaigners have been sentenced

In Hong Kong the pro-democracy media tycoon Jimmy Lai has been sentenced to 14 months in prison after being found guilty of unauthorised assembly. Other veteran campaigners had their sentences suspended. We hear from reaction to the story and find out more about who these campaigners are.

The BBC's India correspondent Yogita Limaye joins us to look in depth at the situation with coronavirus in the country. With oxygen shortages, crematoriums operating day and night and a growing black market for medication we continue to hear from journalists across India about how different states are coping with the pandemic.

And we go to Chicago to hear the conversations being had in the city after Chicago police released graphic footage of an officer shooting dead a 13-year-old Latinx boy in a dark alley.
