'Vladimir Putin is trying to weaponise winter'
Nato chief accuses Putin of using winter as a weapon of war in Ukraine.
At a meeting of Nato foreign ministers in Bucharest, the defence alliance has promised unwavering support to Ukraine as Russia continues to target Ukraine's infrastructure. Addressing the meeting, Nato chief, Jens Stoltenberg, accused President Putin of using winter as a weapon of war.
Also on the programme, there's a huge police presence across a number of cities in China. It follows a wave of anti-government rallies that were sparked by anger at the country's strict Covid rules. Protestors have been warned not to break the law. We hear a conversation between Chinese people living outside the country, to find out what they think of the protests. And our China Media Analyst reports on the social media platforms being targeted in the country.
Russia has hit out at comments from the Pope that some minority groups of Russian soldiers have behaved worse than others in the invasion of Ukraine. The pope made his comments in an interview he gave to America - a magazine of the Catholic Jesuit order. We hear reaction to that.
And we head to Qatar for World Cup football news. Arch rivals the USA and Iran go head to head. We hear the views of Iranian football fans.
