Alec Baldwin 'shock and sadness' at film set death

BBC World Service - BBC OS, Alec Baldwin 'shock and sadness' at film set death

Alec Baldwin has shot and killed a colleague with a prop gun on a film set

Actor Alec Baldwin has expressed his shock and sadness after fatally shooting cinematographer Halyna Hutchins with a prop gun on a New Mexico film set. We speak to an "armourer", a person who manages firearms in film sets.  

We look at today’s coronavirus stories with our regular health expert, Professor Marc Mendelson from the University of Cape Town. Also, Ros Atkins explains what’s driving the rise of Covid numbers in the UK. 

Taliban banned girls from secondary schools in most of Afghanistan, and most women have not been allowed to return to work yet. Our correspondent Yogita Limaye has returned to the country to speak to people about the life since the Taliban took control of the country in August.
