Chinese Congress Set to Make XI Jinping 'President for Life'

China’s National People’s Congress meets today to vote on a number of reforms. The most notable is the proposed scrapping on the two-term limit on the presidency. The changes are widely expected to pass, which could mean that current premier XI Jinping could become “president for life”.

Also in the programme: President Trump positive about proposed talks with North Korea; Bullying and abuse in the Australian prison system and the upsurge of sectarian violence in Sri Lanka.
