BBC World Service - BBC OS, Nigeria school kidnappings: Hundreds of pupils still missing

Islamist militant group Boko Haram has said it was behind the attacks

Islamist militant group Boko Haram has said it was behind the attacks.

More than 300 schoolboys are still missing after a mass kidnapping in the north-western Nigerian state of Katsina. The Islamist militant group Boko Haram has said it was behind the abductions. We'll hear from families of the missing boys and speak to our correspondent in Nigeria to find out the latest.

Also, we continue to bring you conversations about coronavirus from around the world. Today we go to South Korea, which was widely praised for its virus response earlier this year, with aggressive testing and contact tracing. We'll speak to three people in the country about how the virus has affected their lives.

And every day we invite a health expert to help us understand the latest news about coronavirus and to answer listener questions. Today we are joined by Dr Isaac Bogoch - an infectious diseases physician and scientist from the University of Toronto.
