Myanmar protests: Police open fire

In Myanmar, the security forces have again used tear gas and stun grenades against peaceful protesters in Yangon and other cities. But there was no repeat of the deadly violence witnessed on Sunday when eighteen demonstrators were killed. Ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi appeared in court via video link. Two new charges were announced against her. We hear from our BBC reporter who is watching developments.

Also on the programme we have our regular medical expert, Dr Eleanor Murray - assistant professor of epidemiology at Boston University School of Public Health - answering listener questions about the coronavirus. And we hear from the Czech Republic which is experiencing a big surge in infections.

And we hear from people who have found some positive aspects to living through the pandemic, and others who have learnt new skills.
