The government and rebel regional authority in Ethiopia's Tigray province are issuing conflicting accounts of the fighting there. We ask our correspondents what information they have been able to verify.

We also speak to our expert of the day on the coronavirus pandemic, Dr Eleanor Murray from Boston University. We discuss the news that the pharmaceutical company Moderna is filing for US and European emergency regulatory approval for its coronavirus vaccine, so it can be recommended for widespread use.

In France, four police officers have been charged with using unlawful force following the beating of a black music producer in Paris that was caught on CCTV. We hear from people of colour about their experiences with the police in the country.
