BBC World Service - Newshour, Egypt referendum on constitutional reforms

Proposed changes could keep President Sisi in power until 2030

Egyptians are voting in a three-day referendum could consolidate President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi's grip on power.  

Also in the programme: We hear from a sailor who has made history as the first blind person to sail a yacht across the Pacific Ocean.

And how did the bees living on Notre-Dame cathedral roof survive the blaze?  We speak to one of the bee-keepers.
