Available for over a year

France, Belgium and Portugal are the latest countries to close schools to stop the spread of coronavirus. We try to find out whether this is the right move. We report live from Ivory Coast to look at the country’s turbulent political scene and yet growing economy. And we go to South Sudan where a new cabinet has been announced.
