Coronavirus conversations: Vietnam's Covid restrictions

We hear from two journalists in Vietnam who talk about their work covering the pandemic

Vietnam was one of the world's most successful in controlling the coronavirus, and the people there spent the first 12 months of the pandemic in relative normality. But that all changed, when the country reported a cluster of over a 100 cases in May tied to a church in Ho Chi Minh City. Then cases started to surge. We hear from two journalists covering the story.

The Taliban have excluded girls from Afghan secondary schools, with only boys and male teachers allowed back into classrooms. Many fear a return of the regime of the 1990s when the Taliban severely restricted girls' and women's rights. We hear from one teenage girl who is devastated she can't continue her education.

And our regular health expert, Professor Manfred Green at the University of Haifa in Israel, discusses the day鈥檚 stories on the coronavirus pandemic.
