Belarus's main opposition leader Svetlana Tikhanovskaya says she took a "very difficult decision" to leave the country, after disputing an election result she claimed was rigged. Poll results gave President Alexander Lukashenko 80% of the vote, but there have been numerous claims of fraud. We speak to anti-government protesters following a second night of violent clashes between demonstrators and police.

Also we return to Beirut in Lebanon where more than 300,000 people were made homeless by last week's explosion at the port. We hear from one woman who has lost her home. And our correspondent tells us how the city is trying to rebuild itself whilst also coming to terms with the trauma so many are feeling.

And we speak to shrimp farmers in Ecuador - an industry which depends on exports to China, and has been hugely impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.
