Armed gang violently attack a bank in the city of Criciúma

Armed men violently stormed the southern Brazilian city of Criciúma, mounting an assault on a bank.  We hear from our reporter and a resident in the town.

We go to India where thousands of farmers have been marching upon the capital Delhi in protest at agriculture laws. The farmers argue the reforms that seek to loosen rules around sale, pricing and storage of farm products will destroy their livelihoods. They are setting up camps along major roads and some are planning to protest for months.

It’s the time when ski resorts around Europe would normally be gearing up for the start of the season but there’s uncertainty over when the mountains might open for sport this winter. We bring together ski instructors from Switzerland and France who face an anxious wait to find out about coronavirus restrictions. 
We also put more questions about the coronavirus pandemic to one of our regular coronavirus experts, Dr Isacc Bogoch.
