Coronavirus conversations: Back to school

What have classes been like for pupils returning after lockdown?

Children have been returning to school in many parts of the world, following coronavirus lockdowns. So what has the experience been like for them? We hear the perspective of children in South Africa and the UK.

We're following events in Beirut, Lebanon, as rescue teams continue to search through the rubble of a building in which they believe they may have detected signs of life. It's exactly a month since the giant explosion that caused so much death and damage in the city. We'll speak to protesters who have been trying to push the rescue effort forward and get the latest ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ reporting on the story.

We'll also talk about fires in the Amazon region of Brazil. The extent of this year's fires have reportedly been miscalculated and they're now said to be worse than last year's, despite previous claims to the contrary. We'll speak to our team at ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Brasil to get to the bottom of exactly how bad they are and why.
