BBC World Service - BBC OS, What next for Germany?

We'll explain Germany's election results and what happens next

German voters have delivered a narrow victory to the Social Democrats in yesterday's parliamentary elections but what does it mean for the future of Germany? We speak to our correspondent in Berlin and hear from voters. 

British motorists have been panic-buying fuel, with long queues at petrol pumps across the UK. A shortage of lorry drivers sparked fears of a disruption to fuel deliveries. Thousands of petrol stations have run dry. We'll explain the background to the crisis and speak to lorry drivers about their job.

Our reporter in the BBC Delhi bureau will explain why farmers are back in the streets protesting against new agriculture laws.

And our regular health expert, Professor Manfred Green at the University of Haifa in Israel, discusses the day’s stories on the coronavirus pandemic.
