BBC World Service - Newshour, Jordan's Prince Hamzah bin Hussein 'under house arrest'

It comes after a number of high-level arrests said to be linked to an alleged coup plot

The former crown prince of Jordan says in a video sent to the BBC he has been placed under house arrest as part of a crackdown on critics. The military earlier denied Prince Hamzah was under house arrest.

Also on the programme: Pope Francis uses his Easter message to call for a vaccine speedy distribution to poorer countries; and the Cuban musicians whose protest song has riled the island's Communist government.
