BBC World Service - BBC OS, Coronavirus conversations: Hobbies on hold

We speak to people who have not been able to get back into their hobbies

We continue to bring together people with shared experiences of the coronavirus pandemic. Today we hear from a wrestler, a dancer, a musician and a singer who all have had to think of new ways to get back into their hobbies during the pandemic.

We also focus on concerns over a possible resurgence of the coronavirus across Europe and hear from Spain, Germany, Belgium and the Czech Republic where new virus spikes have been reported. And with lots of talk about "second waves", "spikes" and "hotspots", we get our health expert to explain the language they are using to talk about the virus. And, Dr Maria Sundaram from Toronto University will talk through the other latest information on the pandemic.

Also today: US Congress hearing with the CEOs of Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Google and the question whether the tech giants abuse their power to stifile competition.
