BBC World Service - BBC OS, Coronavirus conversations: Third wave doctors

Dealing with another Covid surge in Bangladesh, Russia and Zambia

We’ll bring together doctors who are dealing with third waves of coronavirus in their countries to find out how they’re coping and how it compares to what they’ve experienced before. We’ll hear doctors in Dhaka, St Petersburg and Lusaka in conversation.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is due to give a news conference on the next phase of easing Covid restrictions in the UK, with reports that he will announce that face coverings will no longer be a legal requirement in indoor public spaces.

A spokesperson for the Afghan Taliban has told the BBC that foreign troops must all leave Afghanistan by the agreed September deadline. There are reports that 1,000 mainly US troops could remain to protect diplomatic missions and Kabul's international airport. Meanwhile, violence continues with Taliban forces gaining more territory across the country. We'll hear how Afghans feel about the direction of their country and explain the background.
