BBC World Service - BBC OS, Coronavirus conversations: Indonesians seeking help

Searching for ICU beds and oxygen for relatives during a deadly Covid surge

We'll hear the experience of two Indonesians searching for treatment for close relatives with Covid-19. Indonesia is suffering a deadly surge in the virus as the Delta variant spreads. We'll hear how people are using social media to try to find hospital beds and medical oxygen supplies for their loved ones.

The Haitian president, Jovenel Moïse, has been shot dead after a group of men attacked his home. We'll explain the recent context, including widespread protests against his rule and his claim of an attempted coup against him back in February.

We'll hear the conversation amongst supporters ahead of the second semi-final of Euro 2020, the men's European Championship. England are playing Denmark, with England trying to reach their first major final in 1966 and Denmark trying replicate their surprise triumph in 1992.
