Coronavirus conversations: South Korea

We speak three people in the country which is dealing with a third wave of the virus.

We speak three people in South Korea about how the country is dealing with a third wave of the virus. The country was widely praised for its virus response earlier this year, with aggressive testing and contact tracing. We'll speak to three people in the country about how the virus has affected their lives.

Also, more than 300 schoolboys are still missing after a mass kidnapping in the north-western Nigerian state of Katsina. The Islamist militant group Boko Haram has said it was behind the abductions. We'll hear from families of the missing boys and speak to our correspondent in Nigeria to find out what’s happening.

And negotiations continue between the UK and the EU as they try to decide the terms on which Britain will exit the European Union. We'll explain what's going on.
