Covid: South Africa's president calls for lifting of travel bans

Newsday

Available for over a year

We speak to a health official in Johannesburg as Cyril Ramaphosa attacks the travel bans as Afrophobia - saying it's a poor reward for being the country that identified the new variant. Early results from elections in Honduras show the left-wing candidate, Xiomara Castro, on course to become the country's first female president. And the British socialite and heiress Ghislaine Maxwell is due to go on trial in New York City on sex trafficking later today.
