On this programme, we looked at the latest situation in Cuba, as the growing humanitarian crisis resulting from Washington's fuel embargo continues to grip the island. Despite thousands suffering in hospitals or without food, US President Donald Trump has threatened Havana saying "you're next". Many Cubans have taken to the streets to show resistance, and Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel says he will not capitulate under US threats.
After the break, we heard how preparations are coming along for the upcoming Hong Kong Sevens that will return to the Kai Tak Sports Stadium next weekend.
