BBC World Service - BBC OS, Coronavirus: India new restrictions

We hear from the Indian state of Maharashtra as it enters new coronavirus restrictions

India has seen its highest daily spike of coronavirus cases.  We hear from our BBC teams in Maharashtra which has just brought in new restrictions to try to stop the spread of Covid-19. We also continue to get updates on the situation with the pandemic in other states across India.

US President Joe Biden is expected to announce that American troops will leave Afghanistan by 11th September. With concerns about a surge in militant violence we hear a conversation between Afghan women about the future of their country.

And we welcome back our regular health expert - Dr Pedro Hallal  an epidemiologist from the Federal University of Pelotas in the south of Brazil.  He will be looking at the latest issues relating to the global coronavirus pandemic.  If you have a question for him send us a message on whatsapp on +447730 751925.
