Ethiopians are voting in key elections amid rising tensions and a conflict in Tigray

Millions of Ethiopians are voting in parliamentary and regional elections, with nearly twenty percent of constituencies not taking part due to insecurity and a bloody conflict in the northern Tigray region. It's Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's first electoral test since coming to power in 2018. We hear from our reporter on the ground. 

We continue our conversations with people sharing experiences of the global coronavirus pandemic. Today we hear a conversation between people in Barbados, Greece and Egypt who work in the tourism industry. International travel restrictions implemented during the coronavirus pandemic have had a devastating effect on the global tourism industry.

And Professor Manfred Green a medical doctor and professor of epidemiology in the school of public health at the University of Haifa in Israel will answer questions on the latest coronavirus stories.
