The US House of Representatives is debating whether to impeach President Trump for a second time. If the vote passes in the Democrat-led House, it would make Donald Trump the first US president to be impeached twice. Also in the programme: we speak to a member of the World Health Organisation team currently travelling to China to investigate the origins of the Covid-19 pandemic; and the Irish prime minister apologises for the decades of mistreatment of unmarried women and their children in religious homes. We hear the story of a former resident. (Picture: the Capitol Building in Washington. Credit: EPA/Michael Reynolds)
