Hundreds of graves found at Canada residential school

Hundreds of unmarked graves have been found at a former residential school for indigenous children in western Canada, weeks after a similar find in British Columbia. We speak to indigenous people about Canada's school system during the 19th and 20th Centuries that separated indigenous children from their families.

As part of our Coronavirus Conversations series, we’ve brought together three people – in Nepal, South Africa and the US – to discuss their feelings of guilt about surviving or passing the virus to others.

We'll also speak to one of our regular coronavirus experts, Dr Emma Hodcroft, about today’s coronavirus stories including reports that Israel faces a new Covid surge despite being one of the most vaccinated nations in the world.

We’ll look back at the life of the anti-virus software entrepreneur John McAfee who has been found dead in a Spanish prison.
