US border: Title 42 to end

Officials are bracing for an influx of migrants at the US-Mexico border.

Officials are bracing for an influx of migrants at the US-Mexico border as the coronavirus restrictions on asylum expire at midnight local time. The Trump-era policy, Title 42, allowed authorities to swiftly expel migrants in order to slow the spread of coronavirus. We hear from our correspondent in at the border.

We hear from two women about what life is like with long Covid. Last week, the World Health Organization (WHO) said that Covid-19 no longer represents a "global health emergency". However, the Director-General of the WHO, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, did also say that everyone should still be careful, as there is still a risk of new variants of Covid-19 developing.

And we hear tributes to the blogger - Heather Armstrong, who has died at the age of 47.
