Does this herald the dawn of a lower emission energy industry in the States? A question for Helen Zichal, CEO of the American Clean Power Association. China's population grew at its slowest pace in decades according to results of its census. Dr Lauren Johnson of the School of Oriental and African Studies in London explains the impact on the country's economy. Plus, in the wake of the row over the failed creation of a European Super League for some of the continent's top football teams, the BBC's Ed Butler examines what it revealed about the real state of finances in football, and the power of fans to change things.
