The World Health Organization has said the world should do more to prepare for a possible coronavirus pandemic. We get an update on the situation in Wuhan in China and across East Asia. The former Hollywood movie mogul Harvey Weinstein is facing years in jail after being convicted of rape and sexual assault by a court in New York. Katherine Johnson, a mathematician who helped put the first man on the moon, has died at the age of 101. Her story was told in the film Hidden Figures.
