Anger in China over Xi’s zero-Covid policy

BBC World Service - Newsday, Anger in China over Xi’s zero-Covid policy

Zero-Covid policy involves mass testing, quarantines and snap lockdowns

Protests in the capital Beijing and the financial hub Shanghai, where some called for President Xi Jinping to resign

Police in China's financial hub Shanghai have arrested a number of people as anti-government protests spread across the country. They also put up barriers on roads in the city which saw some of the largest demonstrations over the weekend. However, state media has accused Western countries of fanning discontent.

Stock markets in Shanghai, Hong Kong and other places in Asia have fallen in response to the unrest in China.

And heart-breaking accounts are emerging of the last moments of victims of a powerful landslide that tore across the Italian island of Ischia.
