China has announced the end
of its decades long policy ofrestricting most
families to hav
e only one child. The
officialXinhua News Agency says that all couples
would be allowed t
ohave two children
citing a statement from the rulingcommunist party.
John Sudworth re
ports from eastern
China.
“China
is obsession
with birth control began with Chairman Mao and
became national law
afterhis death. Few
policies anywhere can have affected so many lives
so profoundly. Th
is mothertells me she
had no choice but to have abortion. You either go
willingly or the g
overnmentcomes for
you, she says. In recent years, the one child
policy had already bee
n relaxed with
anincreasing number of exceptions and exemptions.
Now
it’s
finally
going,
but its replacement by atwo-
child policy is a sign that the communist Party is
not yet rea
dy to fully relinquish
controlover female
fertility.”

Hello,

Poland’sConse
rvative Law and
Justice Party h
as won a decisive
victoryin parliamentary elections following a
campaign in which it tooka
tough line
towards the European Union and migrants. An
exitpoll suggests it has secure
d 39% of
the vote. The party'scandidate for Prime Minister
Beata Szydlo said she was gr
ateful for
the support of the Polishpeople.
“We
have won because we have
been consistent in facing all the challenges ahead
of us
and we followed in the footsteps
of the late President Lech
Kaczyński.
We worked hard
a
nd wewere humble about the work as
well as the reality surrounding us. We wouldn't
ha
ve won had itnot been for the Polish
people who told us about their expectations and
ne
eds and who were inthe end voted for
us.”
Within the
past hour, leaders from central European countries
in Balkan states have reac
hed
anagreement on a plan to tackle the migration
crisis. It includes providing shelters
fo
r tens ofthousands more people by the
end of the year. The president of the European
C
ommission Jean-Claude Juncker said
that Balkan countries must start by registering
migr
ants arriving at theirborders.
“The
only way to restore
order to the situation is to slow down the
uncontrolled flows ofp
eople. The policy
of waving for people to neighboring countries has
to stop. I want to be
clear,people must
be registered. No registration, no
rights.”
