Algerians Protest Against Fifth Term For President

Algerian demonstrators stage unprecedented protests against a possible fifth term for President Abdelaziz Bouteflika, who has announced he would stand for office again despite his advanced age and ill health - he is 81 and suffered a serious stroke in 2013.

Also in the programme: Crowds have gathered on the Indian side of the border with Pakistan to welcome back a captured Indian fighter pilot; and Cardinal Pell is to appeal against his child sexual abuse conviction on the grounds that the jury relied too much on a single source of evidence.
