BBC World Service - BBC OS, Coronavirus conversations: Returning to teaching after lockdown

We hear from three teachers around the world returning to their schools after lockdown.

The new school year is starting in many countries around the world. We hear from three teachers in Israel, South Africa and Denmark about their feelings about returning to the workplace after lockdown. We'll also bring you the story of one teacher in Arizona who is so worried, that he has decided to resign from his position rather than return to teaching.

It's a time of political, economic and humanitarian crisis in Lebanon. Today the country received news that one of the four men accused of killing a former Lebanese prime minister in Beirut in 2005 has been convicted by a special UN-backed court. The killing of Rafik Hariri, one of Lebanon's most prominent Sunni Muslim politicians, caused outrage across the country.

And tensions remain high in Belarus after the disputed re-election of President Alexander Lukashenko. One teenager tells us what it's like growing up there.
