Coronavirus conversations: US quarantine orders

New quarantine rules imposed by three US states

We look at the decision by New York, New Jersey and Connecticut to ask travellers from the US states with high number of Covid-19 cases to go to self-isolation for 14 days. We speak to people who are planning to travel this week what they think about the new rules and how they expect to manage self-isolation.

We also continue our conversations on race, and today we bring together two white mothers who both have adopted a black child. They discuss what鈥檚 it like to explain and discuss racism with their children, without having any first-hand knowledge or experience of what it is like to live in America as a black person.

We also discuss the problem of locusts in the African continent. This year the locust infestation has caused major havoc, destroying crops across the region. Our correspondent has met Kenyan farmers and we hear about their desperate fight against locusts.
