Coronavirus conversations: Hong Kong restrictions

Hong Kong is currently seeing record numbers of daily Covid infections. This comes as the Hong Kong authorities continue to pursue their 'zero Covid' strategy, imposing strict restrictions and lockdowns. We'll have a conversation with three people there to hear how the restrictions are affecting their lives and how they feel about them.

Western leaders continue to warn of an imminent Russian invasion of Ukraine, despite Russia repeatedly saying it has no such plans to invade. The fears of an invasion stem from the presence of nearly 130 thousand Russian troops which are positioned within reach of Ukraine's borders. So how do the people in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv feel about the rising tensions? And are they preparing for an invasion? We'll speak to people in the city to find out.

And every day we're joined by one of our regular coronavirus experts to answer your questions about the virus. Today our guest is Professor Manfred Green - a medical doctor and professor of epidemiology in the school of public health at the University of Haifa in Israel.
