	Description:		China's governing Communist Party has proposed removing a clause in the constitution that limits presidents to two five-year terms. The move would allow the current President Xi Jinping to remain as leader after he is due to step down. Dr Yu Jie, head of China Foresight at LSE IDEAS shared her immediate reaction to the surprising news. We're also joined by independent economist Michael Hughes, who sees a downward trend in this coming month's purchasing managers' index.

James Law of James Law Cybertecture tells Manuela Saragosa his prototype solution to the problem. And finally, a painting described as the "African Mona Lisa."
