BBC World Service - BBC OS, Coronavirus conversations: Single parents

We speak to parents juggling home-schooling, parenting and working from home alone

Every day on OS we speak to people affected by the coronavirus pandemic in different ways. Today we connect to single parents in the Philippines, the US and the UK to find out how they've juggled home-schooling, parenting and working from home.

Also, we bring you the latest developments on the trial of Derek Chauvin, the white American policeman accused of killing George Floyd. Mr Chauvin was recorded kneeling on the neck of Mr Floyd for more than nine minutes. The incident sparked protests in the US and around the world over police brutality and racism. 

And we're joined by our health expert of the day to go through the main coronavirus lines of the day and answer your questions about the pandemic. If you have a question you want to ask, send us a WhatsApp message on +447730 751925.
