President Putin and the Chinese leader Xi Jinping prepare a second day of talks in Moscow aimed at boosting ties between their countries.

Today marks the second day of China's President Xi Jinping's state visit to Russia. Ahead of their meeting, Russian President's Vladimir Putin has indicated that he was open to discussing China's plan to end the war in Ukraine. We hear how likely this is. 

We find out about unprecedented protests in Israel against proposed judicial reform that seem to have forced the hand of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He has announced a postponement of some of the bills but a constitutional showdown still looms. Which bills and why? We cross live to Tel Aviv.

Staying with protests - in France spontaneous demonstrations have broken out after the government's narrow victory in a vote of no confidence. More than 100 people were arrested in protests over pension reform.
