Xi Jinping: President or emperor?
Chinese service editor Howard Zhang talks to John Simpson about what Xi Jinping's growing ambitions mean for China - and the rest of us.
Chinese service editor Howard Zhang speaks to world affairs editor John Simpson about Xi Jinping's growing ambition and what it means for China and the rest of us. We also speak to Olga Ivshina, 成人快手 News Russian correspondent, to find out how many Russian soldiers have really died so far in the war - a figure that is a lot higher than the Kremlin will admit - and we find out why the Saudis are so keen to get their hands on major sports tournaments with sports editor Dan Roan. Plus, the seas around the UK and Ireland are hotter than ever before. We ask environment correspondent Matt McGrath how worried should we be?
