and 12 after long years of tory failure, didn't they just show their true colours yesterday? cheering. their driving ideology — make the rich richer and do nothing for working people. the chancellor, kwasi kwarteng, has defended his tax cuts aimed at boosting economic growth — saying they're fair for all, but they're receiving a mixed reaction from the public. violent anti—government protests continue in iran — police have arrested more than 700 people, at least 35 people have been killed. world powers condemn the self—styled referendums being held in parts of ukraine on whether to join russia. now on bbc news, our world — stephen mcdonell travels across china and meets people struggling to stay afloat with their country showing no signs of abandoning its "zero—covid" policy. when it comes to the fight against the coronavirus, one country stands alone. elsewhere, vaccines have meant learning to live with the virus. not in china. no income. this is my lowest point and, you know, as a man i can't do anything. each outbreak is still being met with strict measures t
