This follows what is being described as a ferocious Covid-19 outbreak.

Mass testing is starting for several days in one of Beijing's most populous districts, following what is described as a ferocious Covid-19 outbreak. While much of the world has relaxed curbs, China's authorities continue with their zero Covid policy, trying to stamp out outbreaks early with measures including heavy restrictions on movement and mass testing. 

After a cross-party deal in Washington DC, the US could end up with its first law in decades that would restrict access to guns. But campaigners say the proposals don't go far enough.

We'll also look at the use of cluster munitions in Ukraine.
