Apple Daily: Hong Kong pro-democracy paper to close

Hong Kong's largest pro-democracy paper Apple Daily has announced its closure following a raid and arrests over allegations that its reports have breached national security law. We speak to a young journalist who lost her job about the future of media scene and press freedom in the city.

More than 20 Russian aircraft and two coastguard ships have shadowed a British warship sailing near Crimea. Our colleague from BBC Russian Service explains.

As part of our coronavirus conversations series, we connect with doctors in Indonesia where the largest rise of daily number of virus cases was recorded this week. We'll also speak to our regular expert, Dr Maria Sundaram, about "Delta plus" strain of the coronavirus and today's other pandemic headlines.
