Tasmania's race to save the whales
About 380 whales have died in what is suspected to be Australia's largest stranding on record. Many more still need rescuing. We speak to people involved in that operation.
About 380 whales have died in what is suspected to be Australia's largest stranding on record. Rescuers in Tasmania are trying to free many more. We hear from someone involved in that operation.
Also, we return to our conversations with people sharing experiences about the coronavirus pandemic. Today, we hear from three people in the Czech Republic, where only weeks ago some were celebrating and bidding farewell to the pandemic. It now has one of the highest rates of infections in Europe.
And we speak to people paying their respects to the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She is lying in repose today and tomorrow at the U.S. Supreme Court and is the first woman in US history to have been granted this honour.
