BBC World Service - BBC OS, Coronavirus conversations: Return to classrooms

We hear about concerns over re-opening of schools during the pandemic

Schools are reopening in many countries across the world. We hear from parents and teachers in Kenya, Pakistan and the UK how they feel about children returning to classrooms. 

We also reflect on the latest developments with the new coronavirus variants and with Covid vaccines. Dr Eleanor Murray from Boston University explains the latest research and answers some of the audience questions. 

And a  court in London has ruled that the Wikileaks founder, Julian Assange, cannot be extradited to the United States. We bring more details of the ruling.
