China's zero-Covid policy: Shanghai struggles with tough sanitary measures

ACCESS ASIA © FRANCE 24

Some coronavirus restrictions are being eased in Shanghai, despite the Chinese city reporting recent record highs of new cases. Residents have grown increasingly frustrated as they've struggled to find enough food and medicine. We get analysis from Carl Minzner, senior fellow for China studies at the Council on Foreign Relations and a professor at Fordham Law School specialising in Chinese politics and law.

Also on this week's show, we take a closer look at the recent political turmoil in Pakistan. After nearly four years in office, Imran Khan is out as prime minister and back in the opposition. His replacement is Shehbaz Sharif, the younger brother of Khan's predecessor Nawaz Sharif.

Finally, we take you to Cambodia, where local authorities have been ordered to clamp down on illegal fishing around Tonlé Sap Lake, the largest lake in Southeast Asia. Electric fishing equipment has taken a toll on biodiversity and affected local fishermen.
