Living with Ottawa's truck protest

We speak to people whose homes have demonstrating truckers parked outside

As Canadian truckers opposed to vaccine mandate and their supporters continue to protest in downtown Ottawa, we speak to people who live and work in the area. What is it like to have a demonstrating trucker parked outside your home?

We'll explain why schools and universities in the Indian state of Karnataka are closed because of a row over whether female Muslim students should be allowed to wear a hijab in class.

We'll talk through some of the trending stories at the Beijing Winter Olympics, including why China's gold medallist Eileen Gu could be the face of the games and the disqualification of five female ski jumpers from their mixed team competition because their suits were said to break the rules.
