Hundreds in Shanghai demand China leader resignation

Hundreds of people have gathered in Shanghai to demand China's leader, Xi Jinping, step down, as anger over continuing Covid lockdowns reaches a boiling point.

Protests against Covid restrictions in China appear to have intensified following a fire which killed 10 people in an apartment block in Urumqi, the capital of the Xinjiang region.

We'll hear live from Shanghai where hundreds gathered demanding China's leader, Xi Jinping, step down - and smaller protests are popping up across the country.

Also in the programme: The latest from Ukraine, where millions are without heat as heavy snowfall is expected; and there signs of rapprochement between the US and Venezuela - but what does it mean for ordinary Venezuelans?

Joining Celia Hatton to discuss these and other issues are Jennifer Cassidy, a lecturer in diplomatic studies at the University of Oxford and Alex Andreou, a Greek-born actor, writer and broadcaster based in London.
