BBC World Service - BBC OS, Simone Biles still struggling with 'twisties'

Simone Biles explained her problems during a social media Q&A session

US gymnast Simone Biles says she is still struggling with the 'twisties', raising doubts over her participation in her remaining Olympic finals. We hear from other gymnasts who've had similar experiences. 

President Biden has called on Congress to extend the federal moratorium that protects renters and aims to prevent the spread of Covid-19. Millions of people are facing eviction when the moratorium ends this week, and we’ll hear from some of them.

This week we've been looking at the countries across Asia that are seeing rising numbers of Covid-19 infections and fresh outbreaks. We'll speak to our correspondents about the situations in China, South Korea and Vietnam.
