Coronavirus: Immunocompromised in classrooms

BBC World Service - BBC OS, Coronavirus: Immunocompromised in classrooms

We speak to parents of children with a weaker immune system

We hear from three parents whose children have a compromised immune system and remain at high risk if they develop Covid-19. They share concerns over their children's return to school.

We'll talk about the work by Maria Ressa from the Philippines and Dmitry Muratov from Russia - the two campaigning journalists who have been awarded this year's Nobel Peace Prize. 

We'll talk about an overhaul of the international tax system and its impact on big technology firms. 

We'll also hear from north-west Nigeria where police have rescued nearly 200 villagers who were kidnapped from their homes by criminal gangs.
