China's former leader Jiang Zemin, who came to power after the Tiananmen Square protests, has died at 96. Our China media analyst  joins us to tell us more about his life and reaction inside the country. We also check in on the latest with the protests against China's zero-covid policy.

The first drug to slow the destruction of the brain in Alzheimer's has been heralded as momentous. Our health expert will tell us all about the new medicine called lecanemab and take your questions. 

We also hear from families of those with dementia to hear about their lives and what this development means to them.

And we head to Qatar and hear from our reporter at the football World Cup, as well as fans from Argentina as they play Poland this evening.
