Coronavirus: Doctors in India
Doctors working on the frontline in India tell us how the country is coping with Covid-19
We go to Afghanistan, where sources say a major row broke out between leaders of the Taliban, just days after they set up a new government. Senior Taliban officials told the BBC that supporters of two rival factions argued at the presidential palace in the capital Kabul - reportedly over who did the most to secure victory over the US, and how power was divided up in the new cabinet. The BBC reporter who broke the story, Khudai Noor Nasar, joins us.
Also, we hear a conversation between two doctors working on the frontline in India, to find out how they're coping with the coronavirus pandemic. India's second wave of Covid-19 left hospitals unable to take more patients and oxygen supplies running low. What's the situation now?
And we tell you about a BBC investigation into the life of Nigerian Instagram influencer, Hushpuppi. He’s considered by the FBI to be one of the world’s most high-profile fraudsters, facing up to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to money laundering.
