China celebrates ending rural poverty

Newsday

Available for over a year

China's president Xi-JinPing has handed "poverty alleviation awards" in an event designed to mark the end of extreme poverty in China. We hear more from Princess Latifa - the Dubai Royal who claims she is being held against her will in the Gulf Kingdom - as allegations emerge that her sister too attempted to flee the country 20 years ago but was recaptured in Britain and returned to Dubai. And a year into the Covid-19 pandemic, many people are sure that our lives will never be the same ... and apparently neither will our language: we hear how the crisis has forced its way into German vocabulary.
