BBC World Service - Newsday, Afghanistan: fierce fighting in three cities

Lashkar Gah in southern Helmand province is under heavy assault from Taliban militants.

We're live in Kabul where heavy fighting continues between government forces and the Taliban.  There are fears that Lashkar Gah could be the first city to fall.

We'll go to China where the entire population of Wuhan is to be tested for coronavirus, after the city where the disease first emerged recorded its first cases in more than a year.
