Coronavirus: India
We continue to hear from across India's states about efforts to combat the pandemic
The BBC's India correspondent Yogita Limaye joins us to look in depth at the situation with coronavirus in the country. With new curfews, 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.
We have the latest news from Cuba where Raul Castro is expected to step down as the head of the Communist Party of Cuba. Mr Castro and his late brother, Fidel Castro, have been in power since the 1959 revolution.
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. We learn who Adam Toledo was and what life is like in the Little Village neighbourhood on the Chicago's west side.
