BBC World Service - BBC OS, Rebuilding Beirut

We speak to a woman whose home was destroyed in last month's explosion in Beirut

We revisit Lebanon and hear from people who were made homeless by the devastating explosion in August. We also speak to those who are helping to rebuild the destroyed neighbourhoods in the capital.

Dr Isaac Bogoch from the University of Toronto will help to explain the latest developments with the coronavirus. We discuss mass Covid-19 testing in Hong Kong, return to schools in Wuhan and why some Covid-19 tests are so unreliable. 

We go back to Kenosha in Wisconsin and speak to local community leaders about the fears that Mr Trump’s visit in the city will reignite protests. The father of a black man shot by police has said his son’s life is more important than a meeting with the president, and local officials have urged Mr Trump to reconsider his plan.
