India farmers' protests

In India, the son of a governing party minister has been summoned by police, days after eight people died at a farmers' protest. Some farmers accuse Ashish Mishra, whose father is junior home minister, Ajay Mishra, of driving a vehicle that ran over four farmers. The Mishras deny the charge. We get the latest from BBC Hindi.

Also, after the announcement of a historic malaria vaccine, we hear reaction from Africa and get our health expert to explain the plan to get children across the continent vaccinated.

And we go to New Zealand, which since the start of the coronavirus pandemic has been using the “zero cases” approach to fight the spread of the disease. But the government now appears to be moving away from the policy. Some experts say the decision will lead to a spike in cases that will overwhelm the healthcare system. We get the thoughts of three experts in the country.
