Coronavirus conversations: Kenyan doctors
Two Kenyan doctors explain why they’re prepared to strike over their working conditions
We go to Kenya to hear how the country has been handling the pandemic so far. Two doctors in Nairobi talk about the conditions for health workers that are leading to calls for a strike. They include rising death rates, unpaid salaries and health insurance.
We look at the situation with Covid vaccines and other coronavirus stories with our regular expert, Dr Megan Murray from Harvard Medical School.
In the US, death row inmate Brandon Bernard has been executed and four more executions are being planned before the end of Donald Trump’s presidency. We explain the current policy with executions in the country.
