BBC World Service - BBC OS, OS conversations: Elections in Uganda

We discuss the presidential elections in Uganda

We speak to our East Africa expert about what’s at stake in this week’s divisive presidential elections in Uganda. PopUlar musician and opposition MP Bobi Wine is challenging President Museveni who has been in power for 35 years. We also bring together young voters, who will have a big say in the election, to talk about their hopes for the future.

And we explain the case of Lisa Montgomery in the US; her execution was halted just hours before she was due to be given a lethal injection. 

We also hear from people in Lebanon where, after dramatic surge of coronavirus cases, lockdown rules are being tightened with plans to close supermarkets.

And we get more audience questions about the virus answered with the help of Dr Isaac Bogoch from Toronto.
