UK and South Africa have announced lockdowns in an attempt to curb the spread of coronavirus. In France more stringent measures come into force, shutting down all open air markets and limiting joggers to running just one kilometre .

Also in the programme, we take a look at the trade in wild animals, which has been seen as a possible source of the Covid-19 coronavirus spreading around the world, which originated in Wuhan, China. Peter Knights is chief executive of Wild Aid, an organisation that campaigns against wild animal markets. Professor Andrew Cunningham is from the Zoological Society of London, and examines diseases transmitted from animals to humans. And Deborah Cao is a professor in animal law at Griffith University in Australia, who argues regulation in live animal markets hasn't been as tough as it should have been.

Plus we hear from James Watt, founder and chief executive of brewing company Brewdog, which has diverted some of its facilities away from making spirits into producing hand sanitiser, which has recently been in short supply, as a result of the pandemic.
