BBC World Service - BBC OS, Coronavirus conversations: Exams during the pandemic

What is happening for those who are due to take their exams or get results

We continue to look at the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on education. In many countries there is controversy around exams and exam results. We bring together students in the UK, Nigeria and India to share their experiences.    

And after the acceptance speech by the Democratic White House nominee Joe Biden, we explore how his message was received, particularly among those undecided voters or Republicans who are wondering whether to back President Trump a second time. 

We have been reaching out to women in Iraq, after the shooting dead of female activist Riham Yaqoob. Many were too afraid to speak to us publicly; the few who did described the fear for their safety. We get more details from our regional experts about the situation in the country.
