More than 100 feared dead after devastating US tornadoes

President Biden says the government will do everything it can to help US Midwest states that have been devastated by tornadoes. He has declared a state of emergency in Kentucky, where more than 100 people are feared to have died.

Also on the programme: We speak to Maria Ressa, who was presented with her Nobel Peace Prize this week; and the patients in Lebanon checking themselves out of hospital because they can't afford the medical bills.

Joining Anna Holligan to discuss these and other issues are Stephanie Baker, a senior writer at Bloomberg News, and the architect and satirist Karl Sharro.
