Coronavirus in Argentina
Argentina has registered the largest single-day rise in coronavirus cases.
We’ll hear about the concerns over the government’s handling of the coronavirus outbreak in Argentina, with 8,713 new cases and 381 deaths registered on Monday. People have been protesting against lockdown, arguing that it's crippling and dividing the country.
Dr Isaac Bogoch from the University of Toronto helps to explain some of the other developments with the virus. Debate on whether masks should be worn in schools is going on around the world and we ask some teenagers how they feel about wearing them.
The World Health Organisation is due to declare Africa free of polio virus today. Nigeria was the last country with new cases in the continent, and we hear a story of one young survivor in the country.
Protests in the city of Kenosha in Wisconsin continued overnight, following the shooting of Jacob Blake on Sunday. We speak to some of the people who have been on the streets and reflect on the national conversation on race that has followed the death of George Floyd.
