One year since Wuhan’s coronavirus lockdown

It’s been a year since the world’s first Covid lockdown.

A year ago the Chinese government confined almost 60 million people to their homes in Wuhan and the surrounding province where the Covid-19 pandemic began. Our correspondent in China John Sudworth reports on what life is like now after the world’s first lockdown. Also in the programme: protests are planned in Russia in support of opposition leader Alexei Navalny; and how are athletes coping with uncertainty over the Tokyo Olympics?
