Reporting India’s Covid-19 crisis

We take a journalist's eye view of reporting the current Covid-19 crisis in India, with stories from Delhi-based team leader Jugal Purohit, BBC Gujarati's Roxy Gagdekar Chhara, BBC Marathi's Anagha Pathak, and Kirti Dubey and Piyush Nagpal of BBC Hindi.

Trade by barter Nkechi Ogbonna of BBC Lagos describes a market in Cross River State in Nigeria, which works on a trade by barter system. She tells us how it works and who benefits. Ramadan in Nablus Nablus, in the occupied West Bank, is famous for its sweet makers, and Ramadan is when they’re busiest. BBC Arabic’s Alaa Daraghme takes us to his home town to share some mouth-watering treats.

BBC Xtra: Ramadan-themed cooking and dialects Karima Kouah from BBC Arabic's radio show BBC Xtra tells us about some of their Ramadan topics, like favourite recipes shared by social media influencers, and the misunderstandings that can arise when two people speaking different Arabic dialects get together to chat.
