Coronavirus: Apple revenue warning

Major companies and Asian governments have expressed concern about the worsening economic impact of the coronavirus outbreak.

Confidence is falling among Chinese companies and Asian governments as the coronavirus outbreak continues. The American tech giant Apple has warned that its revenues are likely to fall short of expectations because of the impact of the virus on factory output.

Also on the programme: a Russian activist steps out from house arrest for the first time in thirteen months; and a group of doctors call for an end to what it describes as "psychological torture" of the Wikileaks co-founder Julian Assange.
