Coronavirus conversations: Israel protests

Thousands of Israelis are protesting against the prime minister's handling of coronavirus

We go to Israel, where thousands of people are demonstrating against the policies of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, including his handling of the coronavirus pandemic. We speak to one of those leading the protests.

Also, US President Donald Trump has said he will send hundreds of federal agents to US cities to crack down on crime. Chicago, Kansas City and Albuquerque - all Democratic-run cities - are to be targeted. We hear from people living in those cities.

And we'll be joined again by Dr Emma Hodcroft, molecular epidemiologist at the University of Basel in Switzerland. She will answer more of your questions about the coronavirus pandemic. Send your question on WhatsApp: +447730751925 or Twitter @bbcworldservice.
