China to end one-child policy

China has decided to end its decades-long one-child policy. All couples will now be allowed to have two children, the state-run Xinhua news agency reports, citing a statement from the Communist Party. Also in the programme: Saudi blogger Raif Badawi, whose flogging sentence caused an outcry, is awarded the European Parliament's Sakharov human rights prize. Plus the winners and losers of the latest Republican debate and Google's Project Loon.
