Brazil launches pandemic inquiry

The Brazilian congress is launching an inquiry into the government's handling of the coronavirus pandemic, which has killed almost 400,000 people in the country. The commission could potentially lead to the impeachment of President Jair Bolsonaro, who has been widely criticised for his anti-lockdown, vaccine-sceptic stance. We get the latest developments from our correspondent in São Paulo.

Also we speak to one of our regular health experts, Dr Pedro Hallal, an epidemiologist from the Federal University of Pelotas in the south of Brazil.

And we get more accounts of the situation in India as the country battles a catastrophic wave of coronavirus infections and deaths. We hear from volunteers who are stepping up to help people who are trying to find oxygen and other treatments for their family members. We also look at how the situation in India could impact the rest of the world.
