Liu Xiaobo, China's 'giant of human rights', dies

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

China's Nobel Peace Laureate Liu Xiaobo has died of liver cancer - we'll have reaction from the leading Chinese dissident artist Ai Wei Wei. We'll also be wading into the fine print of the Repeal Bill - and finding out why opposition parties aren't impressed with its contents. Mon ami Donald - is President Macron of France striking up an unlikely friendship with President Trump? And what have India's film censors got against cows? We speak to Amartya Sen. Picture: Liu Xiaobo surrounded by doctors and his wife Liu Xia Credit: AFP/Getty.
