could this backfire for xi jin from other international leaders.nk so. he's in a tricky position. the chinese economy is on a bit ofa position. the chinese economy is on a bit of a knife edge. china is carrying a lot of corporate and local vet and is encountering problems. there is all so i huge demographic problem with a rapidly ageing society, and the goverment is expected to deliver social services we re expected to deliver social services were many ageing people and is not ina were many ageing people and is not in a position to do so. china has significant problems and xi jin in a position to do so. china has significant problems and xijin ping has tied himself to china's future for the next way over five years and for the next way over five years and foran for the next way over five years and for an indefinite period. he could be taking a huge risk with this move. thank you, fascinating. thank you, fascinating. new evidence has emerged about an attempt by the construction firm carillion, to get an emergency government bailout of 10 million pou

but now, following this overwhelming vote, there is no questioning the power of xi jin ping.na, and the fact they've gone to this trouble to have the vote, that shows that that is what he intends to do. of 2964 ballot papers, to have only two people vote against and three abstain, it's almost embarrassingly overwhelming. if the vote is real, you know, you would have to wonder if you are one of those two people, would you be worried that someone mightfind would you be worried that someone might find out who you are? because xijin ping has punished around 1.5 million members of the communist party in his anti—corruption crackdown, and the feeling was, he could not afford to give up power because he's made so many enemies. either way, now that this result has come in, anyone who's wondering whether he will stay on beyond now, i think there is definitely no question about that, and this move to shift from a limit of two terms, this is something that was brought in in the 19805 to stop another chairman mao coming along. that has now been thrown out, and you had better get used to

that means -- president xi jinping (shi-jin- ping) -- who is already one of the most powerful chinese leaders in decades -- will be able to rule indefinitely. political experts say the move means china is becoming more authoritarian. president trump, when asked about the move last week, said "he's now president for life.... i think it's great. maybe we'll have to give that a someday." (justine) it appears senator elizabeth warren will not be throwing her hat into the presidential ring in 20-20. the massachusetts democrat told c-n-n's jim acosta that she will not run for president in two years. she says her focus is winning senate re-election this year and representing the people of massachusetts. warren has been one of the staunchest critics of president trump, who frequently refers to her as "pocahontas"... which is a reference to warren's claims of native american ancestry. asked if she gets upset by trump's nickname, warren says she would use his attacks as a chance to lift up the stories of native americans.
