WHO encouraged by China's Covid easing

After lockdown protests, WHO welcomes China's relaxation of Covid rules

The World Health Organisation has reacted positively to the news that China is easing its Covid restrictions. The changes to some cities' policies surrounding testing and quarantine appear to have been made following protests over Beijing's zero Covid policy. Also on the programme, EU diplomats warn over the spiralling death toll in the occupied West Bank, after a 21-year-old Palestinian is shot dead by Israeli troops. And why a Netflix film set in Kashmir has caused controversy.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other stories are Nitasha Kaul, a London-based Kashmiri novelist and writer, and Loretta Napoleoni, an Italian author, journalist and political analyst.
