Senior official in the Tigray region threatens missile strikes on neighbouring Eritrea

Senior official in the Tigray region threatens missile strikes on  neighbouring Eritrea.

Residents of the Eritrean capital, Asmara, have reported loud explosions in the city.  The cause is unclear but it comes hours after a senior official in the Tigray region of neighbouring Ethiopia threatened missile strikes on Eritrea. We'll hear from Tigray and from neighbouring Sudan, where thousands of people are seeking refuge from the fighting.

Also in the programme: how the controversial impeachment of Peru's president has led to mass protests; and why has the US state of North Dakota been so badly hit by the coronavirus?
