Also in the programme, we hear from WWNO reporter Patrick Madden in New Orleans, as Tropical Storm Zeta tears through Louisiana. Plus, we from Asia's largest slum, Dharavi, in India, to find out why there have been fewer coronavirus cases than had been feared. And online marketplace Etsy says its sales have more than doubled from a year ago, in large part due to the reliance on online shopping during pandemic lockdowns.
