Florida has become the latest US state to ban transgender women from female sports

Florida has become the latest US state to ban transgender women from female sports.

We speak to transgender athletes in the US, as Florida becomes the latest state to ban trans women from female sports.

Also, Nepal has one of the highest Covid-19 infection rates in the world, caused largely by a spread of cases from neighbouring India. We speak to our correspondent there and hear from doctors about the situation in hospitals amid a shortage of oxygen and beds.

We speak to coronavirus expert Prof Marc Mendelson to talk through the latest coronavirus stories and answer audience questions.

And a BBC investigation that has revealed widespread allegations of abuse against female officers in the Afghan police force. We speak to our reporter who worked on the story.
