Local areas locked down and new infections within the event's ‘closed-loop’ bubble

On the eve of the official opening of the Beijing Winter Olympics, the Chinese president, Xi Jinping, has promised a streamlined, splendid and safe Games. But the daily number of new Covid cases associated with the Games has now risen to more than 50, with 34 new infections within the event's "closed-loop" bubble. We'll hear from Olympic hopefuls who are inside it. 

More evidence has emerged of a steady build-up of Russian military equipment and deployments around Ukraine. We’ll get the latest from the Ukraine Belarus border. 

And we're in Dakar to catch the mood after Senegal's win over Burkina Faso last night.
