Coronavirus restrictions in Europe

We look at the restrictions in Europe as governments attempt to curb coronavirus spikes

The British prime minister, Boris Johnson, has outlined a new set of measures aimed at curbing a resurgence of the coronavirus in England. He has introduced a 10 pm curfew for pubs and restaurants, and has paused plans to allow trials next month for the public to attend sports events. We look at the broader picture in Europe as governments attempt to halt the rise of cases in the continent.

We also go to Latin America, the world's worst-hit region with more than 8.7 million cases and 322,000 deaths. We look at the outbreaks in Colombia, Argentina and Mexico.

Dr Isaac Bogoch from the University of Toronto helps to explain some other developments with the virus.

We hear about the rescue effort in Australia where volunteers are trying to save some 180 whales stranded in a remote bay there.
