China has signalled a shift in its Covid stance following recent protests

China has signalled a shift in its Covid stance following recent protests.

China is easing Covid restrictions  in areas that saw mass protests against the zero-Covid policy. Vice-Premier Sun Chunlan said the virus's ability to cause disease was weakening. We explain what’s changing and hear about the reaction in China.
 
A race row in the UK has led to the resignation of a senior royal aide. We hear a conversation with people sharing experiences of being asked “Where are you really from?”.

History will be made tonight as a female referee takes charge of men’s World Cup game for the first time. We speak to female referees about their experiences of officiating men’s games.

We hear what Nigerians think about the government’s decision to teach primary school pupils in local languages rather than in English.
