Trump sets off to China for talks with Xi Jinping

Trade will probably be the main talking point in Beijing.

President Trump heads to Beijing for a summit with the China's leader. They are expected to discuss trade first and foremost and the US president is being accompanied by a range of business executives.

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

And we hear from the Latvian foreign minister and discuss a European Union decision this week to impose sanctions on Israeli settlers in the West Bank.
