Description

The Haitian authorities have expanded a state of emergency to the whole country as the government battles violent gangs that have taken control of large parts of the capital - and are attempting to move into other regions. We hear what life is like for people living through the insecurity.

Also on the programme: President Macron of France has announced former EU Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier as his choice for Prime Minister, but will a divided parliament support him?; and can a ‘green prescription’ to get outside in nature be as effective as therapy?
