German elections 2021: Young voters

We go to Germany, where parliamentary elections marking the end of Angela Merkel's 16 years in power are taking place over the weekend. Protests have been happening across the country, with young people calling for action from politicians on climate change. We connect to two first-time voters, to hear what's at stake for them, and the issues that will determine who they choose.

Our correspondent Nick Beake has been investigating the issue of migration on the Belarus-Poland border, finding people hiding in the forests who are cold, hungry and ill. The migrants from countries including Nigeria, Sri Lanka and Iraq say they're being pushed back and forth over the border by security forces. We'll explain the context.

And our coronavirus expert of the day, Dr Rick Malley from Boston Children's Hospital, answers questions about the pandemic. If you have a question you would like to ask, send us a message on WhatsApp +447730 751925.
