Cuba protests: Thousands rally against the government

The protests are the biggest to take place in the country in decades

Thousands of Cubans have joined the biggest protests in decades against the country's Communist government. People are angry about the state of the economy, restrictions on civil liberties and the authorities' handling of the coronavirus pandemic. We get the latest from our reporter and hear from some of those out on the streets.

Also, as England prepares to ease most Covid restrictions on 19th July, we bring together two people who were hospitalised after catching the virus, to hear their thoughts and concerns about the changes.

And we go to Italy to hear reaction after the country defeated England in the Euro 2020 final.
