BBC World Service - Newsday, Tighter Covid-19 restrictions in several European countries

The new measures include local and national lockdowns amid a rise in cases.

Many countries across Europe are experiencing a rise in coronavirus cases and are dealing with the balancing act of protecting people's health, and the health service,  along with keeping the economy going. We report from Spain where local lockdowns have been met with resistance. 

We go to Port Harcourt in Nigeria, one of cities where protests have taken place this week against the controversial Special Anti Robbery Squad, which has now been disbanded after an outcry over human rights abuses. 

And we speak to the brother of Eritrean poet Amanuel Asrat who has not been seen or heard from since his arrest 19 years ago.
