Coronavirus: How has the pandemic affected people with stammers?

We speak to people with stammers to hear what impact lockdown and isolation have had

We continue to bring together people from across the world to hear how they have been affected by the coronavirus pandemic. Today we speak to people with stammers and stutters, to hear how lockdowns and isolation has impacted their speech problems. We'll also discuss the significance of US President Joe Biden, a man who has often talked about his stammer.

Also, in India protesting farmers have stormed Delhi's historic Red Fort complex. Tens of thousands of farmers have been striking on the outskirts of Delhi since November, protesting against new agricultural laws they say will negatively impact their business. We'll speak to our reporter in Delhi who's been following what's happening.

And, every day we are joined by a health expert to help us understand the latest news about coronavirus and to answer your questions. Today our guest is Dr Helen Wimalarathna, a Molecular Epidemiologist at the University of Buckingham in the UK.
