Coronavirus conversations: Spending Christmas alone

We hear from people spending Christmas alone due to restrictions around the world

The pandemic has led to many cancelled plans. We speak to people in the US, the UK and the Philippines, who are alone this Christmas Day, about how they have spent the day.

Hundreds of migrants in north-western Bosnia have spent a second night sleeping rough in freezing temperatures, after a fire destroyed their camp earlier this week. We speak to reporters watching the situation.

And we hear from a Finnish grandfather and his granddaughter who have become the biggest social media story in the country during the pandemic. After the duo started posting videos of them singing together traditional folk songs and evergreens, they have gained thousands of followers and millions of views.
