BBC World Service - Newshour, Lagos goes into curfew following protests

Nigeria: governor of Lagos orders shutdown after protests escalate.

An indefinite 24-hour curfew has been declared in the Nigerian city and state of Lagos after unrest sparked by police brutality. We hear what locals have to say.
 
Also on the programme: scientists discover that babies may be swallowing millions of microplastic particles a day from bottled milk; and we hear about the new Covid-19 study in which young volunteers will be infected with the virus to help develop a vaccine.
