Coronavirus conversations: Indian doctors

Two Indian doctors talk about the coronavirus crisis in their country

The healthcare system in India is being stretched to breaking point and people are dying because of oxygen shortages. We hear a conversation between two doctors in the capital Delhi and in Mumbai about what they are experiencing in hospitals. We also hear from reporters in the states of Tamil Nadu and West Bengal and speak to our reporter who has been looking at the oxygen shortage.

Dr Megan Murray, professor of Global Health and Social Medicine at Harvard University, will talk through the latest coronavirus stories and news about a malaria vaccine that has proved to be 77% effective in early trials.

And we'll get updates on the second day of the global climate summit convened by President Biden and play more messages from around the world about what steps people are prepared to take to fight climate change.
