BBC World Service - Weekend, US storm causes disruption

Around 250 million people in the US and Canada are under severe weather warnings, as an unprecedented winter storm sweeps across North America. From Alaska to Texas, bone-chilling temperatures, blizzards and icy winds have caused widespread disruption. 

Also in the programme: China’s changing Covid policy; and decreasing polar bear numbers. 

Joining Krupa Padhy to discuss these and other stories are Myriam Francois, a Franco-British journalist and film-maker based in London; and Seyi Rhodes television reporter and investigative journalist.
