Chinese Covid travel restrictions lifted

BBC World Service - Weekend, Chinese Covid travel restrictions lifted

Visitors traveling into China will not have to quarantine anymore as the final Covid restrictions are lifted. 
Plus, civilians in Burkina Faso have been killed, with some suggesting it may have been the government’s own forces. 

And in Britain the Prime Minister wants all students to study maths until the age of eighteen.

Joining Celia Hatton to discuss this and more are Agathe Demarais, an economist and author and global forecasting director of the Economist Intelligence Unit in London and Gareth McLean, a British screenwriter and dramatist.
