Coronavirus conversations: Education

We hear a conversation between a student and a father in Zimbabwe and Uganda which sees them discuss their experiences of the Covid 19 pandemic on the education of young people.

We continue to hear from South Africa where long queues have formed outside shops and petrol stations following days of unrest sparked by the jailing of former president Jacob Zuma. We’ll hear from BBC teams on the ground and people living in the areas affected.

We go through the latest coronavirus news with Dr Pedro Hallal - an epidemiologist from the Federal University of Pelotas in the south of Brazil.
