Protests in Kenosha have continued over the police shooting of a black man, Jacob Blake

We hear more conversations from the city of Kenosha in Wisconsin after a third night of unrest that was sparked by the police shooting of Jacob Blake. On Tuesday, we heard from community leaders in the city who argued that most of the people causing problems on the streets were not local people. We want to explore those claims and also discuss different methods of protesting.

We are still being sent questions about coronavirus reinfections after three cases of Covid-19 were reported in patients who had previously had the virus. Dr Maria Sundaram from Toronto University explains the reinfections and talks us through the other latest information on the pandemic.

And after reports that Lionel Messi wants to leave Barcelona, fans around the world have sent us their pitches on why Messi should join their clubs.
