Coronavirus conversations: Lorry drivers in Africa
Two truck drivers talk about their struggles because of the coronavirus.
We again bring people together in conversation about a shared experience of the pandemic. Today, we talk to two lorry drivers: Bob and Hosea, both from Kenya. They are both being affected by long delays at borders, due to coronavirus testing, as they attempt to transport goods across East Africa.
We also get an update on the latest situation across Latin America and also in India and Pakistan; all places where the impact of the virus is being felt.
And Liverpool are English football’s most successful side, in terms of winning major honours. They are also one of the world’s most widely supported teams, with more than 300 official supporters’ clubs around the globe. Yet it has taken until now for them to win the English league title for the first time in 30 years. We’ll explain the history of Liverpool FC, and hear from those fans in different parts of the planet.
