BBC World Service - BBC OS, Coronavirus conversations: New restrictions in Moscow

The Russian capital Moscow has registered a new daily high for deaths related to Covid-19

Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin has warned the Russian capital is facing an uphill struggle in its efforts to contain the Covid-19 epidemic. We've brought together three people to discuss the situation and new rules that has come into force today. Only people who can prove they have been vaccinated, recently tested or have antibodies can visit restaurants and bars.

Professor Manfred Green is a medical doctor and professor of epidemiology in the school of public health at the University of Haifa in Israel, and he will be joining us to discuss the latest news and research about the virus. 

In the US, rescue workers say they are searching with "every bit of hope" for survivors under the rubble of a collapsed Florida apartment block. More than 150 people are still missing, with ten confirmed to have died in Thursday's disaster. We speak to a parish priest in the area.
