US election conversations: Flight attendants

Thousands of airline workers in the US have lost their jobs or been furloughed because of the coronavirus pandemic. An economic relief plan to help the airline industry stalled in Congress, leading American carriers to let thousands of their employees go. We'll speak to three flight attendants who have lost their jobs, to hear about their last flights, what they are doing now, and how their situation will impact on their election voting choice.

Also, in Thailand protesters have taken to the streets again in the Thai capital Bangkok, defying a ban on gatherings and sweep of arrests of key protest leaders. We'll go live to Bangkok to learn about what's happening, and hear from people who have been protesting.

And, every day on OS we are joined by a health expert to discuss stories and issues surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic. Today we are joined by Dr Emma Hodcroft, a molecular epidemiologist at the University of Basel in Switzerland. We'll talk about herd immunity, travel bubbles and 'long Covid'.
