BBC World Service - BBC OS, Covid protests in Europe

We hear about resistance to coronavirus restrictions across Europe

Austria has today returned to full lockdown because of the rise Covid cases. It comes after protests in several European countries over lockdown restrictions. We’ll hear about the measures the governments across the continent are imposing and speak to two people - one in Austria, one in the Netherlands - who oppose restrictions. 

We’ll also speak to Dr Eleanor Murray from Boston University School of Public Health about the Covid situation in Europe. 

We’ll get the latest from Wisconsin where at least five people were killed after a car ploughed into a Christmas parade on Sunday. 

Our colleague from the Reality Check team explains the online censorship techniques that have been used against the Chinese tennis player Peng Shuai since she made allegations of sexual assault against a former senior politician.
