BBC World Service - Newshour, Coronavirus: India's Covid-19 cases surge past one million

India has the world's third-largest case load, after the US and Brazil

India's active cases account for about a third of its total tally as it has been reporting a high recovery rate and a low death rate from the virus but deaths have been rising. 

Also in the programme: we ask an expert what proportion of the population needs to contract Covid-19 to develop so-called 'herd immunity'; and we hear from the government in Ethiopia on the rising tension over the huge dam the country is building across the Blue Nile.
