Officials in Fiji are warning of a severe coronavirus outbreak

Fiji - a country on a group of islands in the South Pacific - is currently seeing daily coronavirus infections in double figures. The health ministry has urged people in and around the capital, Suva, to be cautious, saying they've never been at higher risk. We hear from two reporters there.

We bring the latest from the G7 summit in the UK and look at the global vaccine distribution after the US and the UK pledged to donate millions of doses to poorer countries.

We’ll look at today’s other coronavirus stories with our regular expert Dr Marc Mandelson in Cape Town, South Africa.

And after warnings of famine in Ethiopia’s Tigray region, we hear from people outside the country whose family members are affected.
