BBC World Service - BBC OS, Coronavirus conversations: Trump supporters

Supporters of US President Donald Trump share their thoughts on Covid-19

Covid-19 is continuing to spread among US President Donald Trump's inner circle, with White House adviser Stephen Miller and a top military official the latest to be infected. We bring together a group of Mr Trump's supporters to find out how they're seeing the news, and whether it has changed their views on the pandemic. 

Also, a court in Kenya has found two men guilty of helping Islamist militants to attack the Westgate shopping complex in the capital, Nairobi, in 2013. A survivor of the attack gives us his reaction to the news.

And we go to Iran, which has recorded the highest daily number of coronavirus cases. Our reporter from BBC Persian tells us what's behind the increase and what is being done to combat it.
