Canada mourns as remains of 215 children found at residential school.

A mass grave containing the remains of 215 children has been found in Canada at a former residential school set up to assimilate indigenous people. We'll hear from a native Canadian tribal chief and the Canadian Heritage Minister.
 
Also in the programme: people across Brazil are demonstrating against the far-right president, Jair Bolsonaro, over his handling of the coronavirus pandemic; and the impact of the pandemic on pilgrimages to Lourdes.
