Florida and Texas reimpose restrictions on businesses as coronavirus infections rise

Florida and Texas reimpose restrictions on businesses as coronavirus infections rise.

US Vice President, Mike Pence, gives a positive assessment of his country’s response to the coronavirus pandemic.  But more than 127 000 Americans are now dead from the coronavirus and governors in some states are reimposing restrictions on businesses.

Also in the programme: the mysterious case of the renowned Russian director Kirill Serebrennikov, found guilty of embezzlement but given only a suspended jail sentence.  And we hear from a Swiss tourist who was held hostage with his Brazilian partner for three months by left-wing FARC guerrillas in Colombia.
