China’s premier Li Qiang will not be holding the customary press conference at the National People’s Congress in Beijing. We discuss the implications of China’s decision to break with tradition. Meanwhile, Kenya signs a deal with Haiti to send 1,000 police officers to the Caribbean; Germany faces a backlash after accidentally leaking UK military secrets about operations in Ukraine; and Miami Beach attempts to discourage spring breakers from visiting with a new campaign. Plus: we speak to Brian Klaas about his new book, ‘Fluke: Chance, Chaos and Why Everything We Do Matters’.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
