President Trump is heading to Beijing on the first visit by a US leader in nine years; talks with Chinese leaders are likely to focus on Iran, Taiwan, and trade tensions between the two superpowers. We speak to a former Assistant US Trade Representative for China.

We speak to a Red Cross representative in Tehran about the impact of recent hostilities on the city and about a moderate earthquake that has shaken the city overnight.

And we speak to two teenage sisters in Gaza who have been awarded an environmental prize for their novel construction idea.
