A second wave of the coronavirus has overwhelmed parts of India's health system. And it's pushing the medical oxygen supply chain there to breaking point. More than 200,000 people are now confirmed to have died, though the real total is believed to be much higher. Mumbai and Delhi have been the cities most affected by the pandemic but we hear from Dr Randip Ray in Kolkata, where cases are rapidly rising.

Also in the programme, two of the world's biggest technology companies posted their latest earning figures a short while ago. Apple and Facebook both beat analyst expectations, but what about their ad tracking row?

Plus, over the years a number of cities have changed their names. The latest is South Africa's Port Elizabeth, which is now called Gqeberha.
