Covid quarantine hotels: Women say they were harassed by guards

We hear from two women who say they were sexually harassed by guards in UK hotels

We speak to two women who have reported being sexually harassed at quarantine hotels in the UK. A total of 16 women have reported harassment to the BBC, and some say their complaints have been ignored or disbelieved. The British government has now announced that women quarantining in UK hotels will have female guards when possible.

Also, the latest from Tunisia, where violent mass protests have been taking place over the government's handling of the coronavirus pandemic. The country has seen a massive recent spike in cases. President Kais Saied, who was elected in 2019, has sacked the prime minister and suspended parliament, announcing that he is taking over. We get more from our reporter and those out on the streets in Tunisia.

And our regular health expert, Professor Manfred Green, joins us to answer your questions about the coronavirus pandemic. If you have something you'd like to ask, or an experience to share, send us a message on WhatsApp +447730 751925.
