Ecuador prison riot

At least 116 inmates have been killed in a gang war in a prison in Ecuador

Four hundred police officers have entered a prison in the Ecuadorean city of Guayaquil where at least 116 inmates were killed in an uprising. We'll speak to a journalist covering the story and to our Latin America regional expert.

We'll go to Germany where a court has issued an arrest warrant for a ninety-six-year-old woman who worked as a secretary at a Nazi concentration camp during the Second World War.

In the US, President Biden has cancelled his scheduled trip attempting to get his own Democratic party to support his long-term infrastructure plan. He needs unity to get the bill approved in the House of Representatives. We’ll find out more from our correspondent in Washington.

And Dr Helen Wimalarathna, a Molecular Epidemiologist at the University of Buckingham in the UK, will answer audience questions on the latest coronavirus stories.

Coronavirus cases in Russia continue to rise and the vaccine uptake rate is relatively low. We've brought together two people who have lost a family member to the virus.
