Coronavirus conversations: Jobless in Argentina
Two friends in Buenos Aires state tell us about the struggle to find work
As Covid-19 leads Argentina into another economic crisis, we speak to two friends in their early 20s in Buenos Aires state about their struggle to find work. What sort of future do they see?
Also, we hear how Covid-19 is adding to the layers of desperation in Yemen - a country already hit by a humanitarian crisis from war and hunger. We hear how even buying a face mask is beyond the budget of most people.
The Italian city of Bergamo was once the epicentre of Italy's coronavirus outbreak - which at the time was the worst in the world. But now the hospital which dealt with many of the patients no longer has any Covid-19 patients in its intensive care unit for the first time in 137 days. We speak to the doctor in charge.
