England striker 'won't apologise' for who he is after receiving racist abuse

Following the Euro 2020 final, we hear the conversations happening among black people in the UK. It’s after three black England players, Marcus Rashford, Bukayo Saka and Jadon Sacho were targeted with racial abuse after they missed penalties. Rashford has apologised for the missed penalty, but said: “I will never apologise for who I am and where I came from.”  We connect to radio stations that aim to serve black communities and hear whether these events have changed people’s view of England.

We go to South Africa, as protests continue following the arrest of former president, Jacob Zuma. At least 30 people have now died in the violence and about 800 have been arrested.  We hear from our reporter on the ground and people living through the violence.

And as England prepares for so-called “Freedom Day” on 19 July - when most Covid restrictions will be eased - we speak to doctors who say they are preparing for an increase in hospitalisations.
