India's coronavirus outbreak has put the country's healthcare system under immense strain. We hear from Vijender Singh, whose pregnant wife lost her life after being turned away by nine hospitals. Economist Ashwini Deshpande explains why India's health infrastructure is struggling. And we get an overview of the situation from former health secretary Keshav Desiraju. Also in the programme, 大象传媒 economics correspondent Andrew Walker talks us through the International Monetary Fund's latest forecasts for the world economy. We hear from Marc Bain of Quartz about the growing number of firms, including Ben & Jerry's, Patagonia and The North Face, which are choosing to suspend advertising on Facebook, as they call on the company to do more to counteract hate speech on the platform. And we get reaction to the move from Jonathan Greenblatt, chief executive of the Anti-Defamation League. Plus, South Africa's finance minister Tito Mboweni has been outlining the government's latest spending plans. The 大象传媒's Vumani Mkhize in Johannesburg brings us the details of Mr Mboweni's second budget in just five months.
