Shocking footage from the anti-government protests in Shanghai shows Edward Lawrence, a camera operator for the BBC's China Bureau, being dragged away by Xi's officers as he screams 'call the consulate now' to a friend.
You made us all better,' Karl added, before playing a montage of Ally's best moments on Today from her impeccable and sometimes emotional reporting, to her fun times on the desk and the pair's playful banter together.
A BBC journalist covering historic protests against President Xi Jinping's lockdown rules in China was arrested and beaten by police officers, with Chinese officials later making the bizarre claim that he was detained for his 'own good' in case he caught Covid from the crowd.
He told LBC radio: 'Whatever else happens, freedom of the press should be sacrosanct.' The UK's Business Secretary Grant Shapps today denounced the officers' actions as 'unacceptable' and 'concerning'.
We do not consider this a credible explanation.' We have had no official explanation or apology from the Chinese authorities, beyond a claim by the officials who later released him that they had arrested him for his own good in case he caught Covid from the crowd.
