South Korea has reported more recoveries from Covid-19 than numbers of new cases; with 110 reported new infections on Friday but nearly 180 people being released from medical care following treatment. We report live from Ivory Coast to look at the country’s turbulent political scene and yet growing economy. We hear from New Zealand where hundreds have attended a ceremony ahead of the anniversary of the Christchurch mosque attacks.
