How drivers feel about crossing the US border in the Covid-19 pandemic

Brenda and Jeff are truckers from Canada who drive in and out of the United States for a living. Jeff is now turning down work in the US because of the severity of the coronavirus pandemic there. Brenda is still crossing the border. They've been telling us about their experiences.

We find out what our reporter saw on Somalia's only dedicated coronavirus ward. Jamal Osman has been investigating the true extent of the outbreak there for BBC Africa Eye.

And we'll get your questions answered on Covid-19 by one of our regular expert guests. Today it's Dr Eleanor Murray from Boston University School of Public Health. Send your WhatsApp voice message to +447730751925 or tweet us @bbcworldservice.
