The best I've found is this blurb, mostly Li saying sensible things.

 

Much of Li's report served to further define priorities that had been outlined after a party policy meeting in November, which included plans to make the world's second-largest economy more open and competitive.

 

Li announced an official growth target of 7.5 percent for this year and pledged that Beijing will encourage competition, ease exchange rate controls and improve access to credit for productive businesses. Last year, the economy grew 7.7 percent.

Li said the government will work harder to reduce pollution by shutting more coal-fired furnaces and controlling the tainting of rivers. He referred to the stifling smog that creeps over increasing areas of China and the fouling of the country's air, water and soil as "nature's red-light warning against the model of inefficient and blind development."

 

Li promised to cut government waste, reiterating earlier decisions to ban the building of new government offices and reduce the number of government employees. He said the administration would try to be more responsive to the people's concerns and penalize corrupt officials "without mercy."

 

Outside the Great Hall of the People where security was tight, two middle-aged would-be protesters broke through a police cordon and ran onto Tiananmen Square. One of them threw leaflets into the air before paramilitary police dragged them off the square.

Short of having the Hollywood 'enhancing zoom' software, I'm afraid we will never know. Today's is Lei Feng day, maybe it was something about Lei Feng ?

.... and a follow up. Did the leaflets have anything to do with the woman who lit herself on fire same day, same square ?

smoglife:

Complete speculation, but I would guess they were not related. There are 100,000 petitioners in Beijing alone. I'm surprised there aren't more stories of being people tackled in Tsq during the 2 sessions.
