Hong Kong media tycoon Jimmy Lai awaits sentencing

BBC World Service - Newsday, Hong Kong media tycoon Jimmy Lai awaits sentencing

He is charged with organising an illegal march during mass anti-government protests

He also faces separate charges under a draconian new national security law.

Jimmy Lai is one of Hong Kong's most prominent pro-democracy activists. He is due to be sentenced for his role in anti-government protests. We have a report from the BBC’s Danny Vincent who has had exclusive access to Mr Lai over the past six months since his arrest.

We go live to Iraq which is in the grips of its worst wave of the Covid pandemic.

And we're in Mogadishu to hear about the tensions there after the president extended his term by two years.
