China fire was government's fault - victim's daughter
A woman whose mother and four siblings died in a fire in the Chinese city of Urumqi has blamed the government for their deaths.
China operates a strict zero-Covid policy, resulting in many lengthy lockdowns. Protesters say restrictions hampered people's escape from the burning building on 24 November - though the government denies this.
BBC Newsnight's Danny Vincent spoke to Serafet, a Uyghur living in exile in Turkey, who said she found out she had lost family members through social media.
She added there had been no official confirmation of their deaths.
