BBC World Service - Newsday, Massive military parade marches through Beijing

Beijing is marking 70 years since the Communist Party came to power

Beijing is marking 70 years since the Communist Party came to power with extravagant celebrations.

Beijing's Tiananmen Square has been the venue for a mass parade of troops and civilians to mark the seventieth anniversary of the modern Communist Chinese state; we'll be talking about the World Athletics Championships in Doha where the stands are barely a third full; and an international team of experts has concluded that people can continue to eat red meat, sausages and bacon -- as there's very little evidence it increases the risk of cancer.
