Coronavirus conversations: Food banks

Billionaire MacKenzie Scott has donated $4.2bn to organisations helping people during the pandemic, including many which give out food to people who are struggling. We’ll speak to some of those groups about how they’ve seen demand grow through the year and some of the stories of the people they’re helping.

We’ll talk through the latest coronavirus stories with our expert of the day, Dr Maria Sundaram, and get your questions answered. Send your question in a WhatsApp audio message: +447730751925.

We’ll follow the progress of China’s Chang’e-5 space probe, due to land back on earth carrying material from the moon. They will be the first rocks to be brought from the moon since 1976. We’ll get a journalist from BBC Chinese to explain how the space programme fits in to China’s priorities.
