We hear a conversation between two Lebanese doctors. Recent reports suggest many are leaving Lebanon, with the strain of an economic and political crisis on top of the coronavirus pandemic and the recent explosion in Beirut. We'll hear the experience of one who recently left for the United States and another who has recently started her career in Lebanon.

Also, a large trial has shown the coronavirus vaccine developed by the University of Oxford is highly effective at stopping people developing Covid-19 symptoms. Researchers say interim data suggests 70% effectiveness, but a certain dose could protect up to 90% of people. We'll hear reaction from a professor involved in the trial and get your questions about the vaccine answered.

And every weekday we are connecting to frontline health workers around the world. Today a doctor in Mumbai, India, tells us how the coronavirus pandemic is affecting his country.
