Hong Kong protesters convicted

Seven prominent pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong have been found guilty of "unlawful assembly". We'll explain the story with the help of BBC Chinese. And we'll hear the conversation in the city about the impact of changes to rights and freedoms.

We’ll get your coronavirus questions answered by our regular medical expert, Dr Emma Hodcroft. Her specialism is tracking variants around the world, so one of the things we’ll talk about is the detection of a mutation, similar to the one first found in South Africa, but this time in Brazil.

And we’ll hear the experience of a group of doctors in Mexico on the front line of the pandemic. At the start of the week, the Mexican Health Ministry published data suggesting the real number of Covid-19 deaths could be more than 60% higher than the official count.
