Top players test positive after tournament organised by Novak Djokovic

Top men's tennis player Grigor Dimitrov has tested positive for coronavirus after playing a tournament organised by men's world number one, Novak Djokovic. There's now a conversation online about whether it was a good idea to stage the tournament in Croatia so early in Europe's recovery phase from Covid-19. We hear from someone who went to watch one of the events in the series.

We also explain the important issues of the moment on the global pandemic with the help of one of our regular experts, Dr Eleanor Murray from Boston University - including why there are so many outbreaks in meat processing plants and why the global case numbers have reached 183,000 per day. You can ask your questions for future editions using WhatsApp: +447730751925 or Twitter: @BBCOS.

We return to a conversation with three African-American women who have researched the stories of their own forebears who were enslaved. How does that knowledge shape the way they think about the issues of today?
