BBC World Service - BBC OS, Tokyo Olympics: Final week

We speak to volunteers and Japanese people about the Tokyo Games

In the final week of the Tokyo Olympics, we'll hear the experiences of two people who decided to join the Games as volunteers. We'll also speak to two people who opposed hosting the Games but have since had a change of heart.

A remembrance service has been taking in the Lebanese capital to mark the moment of the blast that killed over 200 people a year ago. We have  reconnected with a woman who lost her home in the blast. We also speak to our regional expert about the investigation into the blast and Lebanon's   deteriorating economic situation.

We watch the developments with the trial of two leading Belarusian opposition figures that has begun behind closed doors at a court in Minsk.
