In the Spotlight on Prime Time every Monday, Bharati Jagdish and Timothy Go will speak with our friends from the BBC in London on some of the top stories they are tracking in the week ahead.

This week, they are joined by Jonathan Frewin, Senior Journalist with BBC World Service Partner Hub in London to discuss China, with the new year travel rush  roaring back to life despite uncertainty around Covid-19, what can some countries outside China expect? 

And on Friday, western defence ministers are gathering in Germany for a Ramstein meeting, to discuss the supply of weapons to Ukraine. What can we expect from that?

Finally, a trial gets underway in Belarus of the opposition leader Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, one of the high profile trials in the country at the moment. Who is she, why is she going on trial and what is the significance of that?
