Thousands of families around the world are unable to contact their loved ones in Tonga, following a tsunami triggered by a massive volcanic eruption on Saturday. The islands remain largely without internet, with the effort to fix a critical undersea cable expected to take weeks. We speak to women in Australia and American Samoa who have relatives there, and have faced an anxious wait for news of their safety.

In Norway, mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik is in court today seeking parole. He has served half of a 21-year sentence for killing 77 people in Norway's worst peacetime atrocity in July 2011.

And we look at today's coronavirus headlines with our regular expert, Dr Isaac Bogoch, who is here to answer listener questions.
