President Roch Kabore has been detained a day after an army mutiny

We go to Burkina Faso where President Roch Kabore has been detained, a day after an army mutiny. We hear from regular people in the country as well as getting the latest from our reporter.

And we get the latest from Ukraine, as the US and UK begin withdrawing staff from their embassies in the country in response to what they describe as the growing threat from Russia. We bring you the latest developments on the ground, as well as continuing to hear from ordinary Ukrainians across the country.

And based on the current statistics we have, Peru in South America has the highest number of Covid related deaths per capita, with more than 6,000 Peruvians per million having died from the disease. We speak to two healthcare professionals in Peru to find out about their experiences and how the country is coping.

Also, one of our Covid-19 experts, Dr Eleanor Murray, assistant professor of epidemiology at Boston University School of Public Health, will be looking at the latest coronavirus headlines and answering listener questions. You can send your audio question to the OS WhatsApp on +447730 751925.
