BBC World Service - Weekend, Madrid on lockdown

Two-week lockdown imposed on Madrid; is there a future for cinemas forced to close?

A two-week lockdown is imposed on the Spanish capital, Madrid, to try to control the coronavirus. Are people there experiencing pandemic fatigue?

Also, is there a future for cinemas that have been forced to close because of the virus?

And Armenia and Azerbaijan agree a humanitarian ceasefire, after two weeks of fighting over the disputed territory of Nagorno Karabakh.  But can it hold?

Joining Celia Hatton to discuss these and other issues are Nathalie Tocci, director of the Institute of International Affairs in Rome, and a Special Advisor to EU High Representative and Vice President of the Commission, Josep Borrell; and Henry Chu, deputy news editor for the Los Angeles Times, based in London.
