What's it like reporting from the Olympics?

We speak to our correspondents about what it's been like reporting at the Tokyo Games.

As the Olympic Games comes to an end we'll look back at the events of the past two weeks. We'll speak to our correspondents in Tokyo to hear what it's been like reporting from an Olympics during a pandemic. We'll also speak to some of the athletes who have won gold at the Games to hear their experiences.

Also, we're continuing to go to countries around the world that we haven't heard much from during the pandemic. Today we'll look at the biggest news stories from the South American country of Guyana. Alongside Covid, they have also been dealing with flooding. We'll speak to a newspaper journalist there to hear more.

And every day we are joined by a health expert to answer listener questions about Covid-19 and the vaccines. Today our guest is Marc Mendelson, Professor of Infectious Diseases at Groote Schuur Hospital, University of Cape Town.
