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 report from cyberpunk city of Chongqing in China. The British prime minister Keir Starmer is due to hold talks with one of his potential leadership rivals, as he resists pressure to resign from members of his own party.
