BBC World Service - Weekend, More protests expected in Belarus

Protests planned in Belarus; COVID survivors support Israeli patients

Another Sunday of protests expected in the capital of Belarurs, Minsk.   But what will change?

Also, we'll visit the hospital in Israel that's recruiting coronavirus survivors to give support to current patients who are suffering from COVID-19.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Patricia Cumper, Jamaican-born dramatist and theatre director based in London, and William Jordan, expert on the Middle East and North Africa and a former US State Department official.
