Cubans have been angered by an economic crisis, combined with anti-Covid measures. Thousands joined the biggest anti-government protests in the country for decades, and we find out more from Christopher Sabatini, senior fellow at independent policy institute Chatham House.
Also in the programme, we have an interview with Sundar Pichai, chief executive of search engine Google and its parent company Alphabet.
Plus, ahead of the Tokyo Olympic Games, there's controversy about a new type of running shoe which has led to a recent surge in track and field records. The BBC's Ivana Davidovic asks whether a runner's authentic ability is becoming less important for success on the track.
