Tens of thousands of protestors took to the streets in China over the country’s draconian anti-covid measures.
The protests, unprecedented in scale, took place in at least ten major cities, including Beijing and Shanghai.

While China suppressed the protests, the country’s covid tsar called a “new stage” in the fight against the virus, signaling an easing of restrictions.

Qatar agreed to supply Germany with two million tons of natural gas annually beginning in 2026, as part of a 15 year deal.
