UN global water report

The world is "blindly travelling a dangerous path" of "vampiric overconsumption and overdevelopment", a report by the United Nations says. Its publication comes before the first major UN water summit since 1977.Thousands of delegates will attend the three-day gathering in New York which begins on Wednesday. We speak to Richard Connor, a UNESCO specialist on water use and the editor in chief of the World Water Development Report, which is published by the UNESCO. We also hear messages from people in different parts of the world for their thoughts on what access to water is like where they live.

We explore what it's like to be LGBT in different countries across Africa. On Tuesday Uganda's parliament passed a bill criminalising anyone identifying as gay, lesbian or transgender. Our correspondent Patience Atuhaire is in the Ugandan capital Kampala to talk us through the story. We also hear the account of a gay man in his early 20s talking about being outed and harassed for being gay in Uganda.

Meanwhile Kenyan authorities have also launched a crackdown on what it described as the ‘infiltration of LGBTQ agenda in schools.’ Over 30 countries in Africa still criminalise same-sex relations. We bring together three people who identify themselves as LGBT who live in different parts of the continent to hear their experiences.

The former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is facing questioning by a committee of MPs on whether he intentionally misled Parliament over these lockdown parties - our correspondent Rob Watson gives us the latest.
