Description

President Xi Jinping welcomed North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, Russia’s Vladimir Putin and many other leaders at a huge military parade to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War Two.



Also in the programme: we report on the disappearance of opposition activists in Tanzania; and after a series of legal setbacks for the Trump Administration, could the coming term be crunch time for both the president and the Supreme Court?
