Coronavirus conversations: Women in Latin America

Since the start of this pandemic we have been bringing you conversations with people around the world to hear how their lives have been affected by coronavirus. Today we go to Latin America which has been one of the epicentres of the pandemic. We speak to three women to hear how their countries across the region have been affected by rising rates of domestic violence and less access to help.

Also, the conflict in Ethiopia's northern Tigray region is developing into a "full-scale humanitarian crisis", the UN has said. At least 27,000 people have so far fled to neighbouring Sudan, and the UN says its teams there are overwhelmed. We hear from relatives of people in the region who can't get in contact with their loved ones.

And, we are returning to frontline health workers around the world to hear how they have been coping throughout the pandemic. Today we go to France, which is in lockdown and experiencing a second wave of coronavirus, and speak to a emergency doctor in Paris.
