In today's episode we look at why a disproportionate number of people from black, Asian and other ethnic minority backgrounds are dying from coronavirus in the UK.The government has launched a review to try to find out. On Monday, the NHS released figures showing that, out of all Covid-19 deaths in English hospitals, 16.2 per cent of patients were from black, Asian and ethnic minority communities. That compares to BAME people accounting for 13 percent of the population in England and Wales, according to the last census. And in our health service, people from BAME backgrounds have accounted for two thirds of NHS deaths so far.So what's happening? ITV News' Rageh Omaar has been investigating this issue. He speaks to Mary Nightingale about the socio-economic and cultural factors that are playing a part.We regularly release new episodes of Coronavirus: What You Need To Know - subscribe so you get the latest ones straightaway.

During his 25-year career, he has reported from some of the world’s most unpredictable conflicts and humanitarian disasters in Kabul, Baghdad and Gaza. His 2017 report on the impending famine in the Horn of Africa led to more than £50m of aid being raised, and cemented his reputation for hard-hitting coverage of humanitarian disasters. In this in-depth interview, he recalls some of the pivotal moments of his career, from interviewing Nelson Mandela to the “seat of the pants” experience of presenting News at Ten.
Was mainstream media in cahoots with government forces in the lead up to the Iraq War? In his film, “The War You Don't See,” Australian journalist John Pilger reveals evidence of American and British journalists failing to scrutinize evidence or dig for hard facts in the days before the 2003 invasion. He argues that imbedded news reporters and their outlets simply towed official government lines, and the public sees only a small portion of what's really happening in battlefields. Featuring: John Pilger, journalist; Dan Rather, journalist; Bryan Whitman, US Assistant Secretary of Defense; Melvin Goodman, former CIA analyst: Rageh Omaar, BBC news reporter; Dahr Jamail, independent journalist; David Rose, former Observer journalist; Steve Rendall, Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting; Fran Unsworth, BBC Head of Newsgathering; Scott Ritter, UN Weapons Inspector; Ethan McCord, former US soldier.
