BBC World Service - BBC OS, Coronavirus conversations: Indonesian doctors

We hear about the surge in coronavirus infections in Indonesia

As part of our coronavirus conversations series, we connect with doctors in Indonesia where the largest rise of daily number of virus cases was recorded this week and where many doctors have contracted Covid-19 despite being vaccinated. 

Our regular expert, Dr Maria Sundaram, tells us about "Delta plus" strain of the coronavirus and today's other pandemic headlines.

Health workers in Ethiopia say dozens of people have been killed in an airstrike on a market in the northern Tigray region. We hear more from our correspondent. 

Hong Kong's largest pro-democracy paper Apple Daily has announced its closure following a raid and arrests over allegations that its reports have breached national security law. We speak to a young journalist who lost her job about the future of media scene and press freedom in the city.

And we'll get an update on Britney Bear's legal battle over who should control her personal and financial life.
