Xi Jinping is China's leader for a third term
Newshour - A podcast by BBC World Service
China's leader Xi Jinping has moved into an historic third term in power. The break with tradition makes him the most powerful leader in China since Chairman Mao. Appointing loyalists to his leadership team, he becomes increasingly unchallengeable. We hear reaction to his win, and what his priorities will be. Also in the programme: Who will be the next prime minister of the UK? We hear who the main contenders are, and who is voting for them; and five weeks into anti government protests in Iran we hear from an activist reflecting on the protest movement past and present.
