A new rise in COVID-19 cases in Kenya; migrant crisis in the Americas.

Kenya has been hit by a new surge of coronavirus cases, as the President describes the death rate as 'devastating'.

Also, we hear from San Marcos in Guatamala, where many are fleeing extreme poverty, drought, and hunger for the US border.

Joining Celia Hatton to discuss these and other stories are Victoria Rubadiri, senior presenter on Citizen TV in Kenya; and Emaddedin Badi, a Libyan analyst and Non-Resident Fellow at the Atlantic Council.
