How to return to performing in a pandemic

We speak to musicians in Denmark, the USA and South Africa about the impact of lockdown on their lives and work. How have they been performing under lockdown? How do they feel about working in front of a live audience again?

We talk about South Africa's decision to reimpose a ban on alcohol sales to take pressure off the health system. And we hear voices from Florida after a record number of coronavirus cases were recorded - more than 15,000 in a day.

Also, the NFL team in Washington DC has announced it will "retire" the word "Redskins" from its team name. It's considered offensive by many Native Americans and the decision comes as part of the wave of reflection on race and identity following the killing of George Floyd. We hear different views from the fans on the decision and what should come next.
