Newsday

Available for 29 days

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. Presenters: James Copnall and Anne Soy (Photo: President Donald Trump boards Marine One on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, DC. Credit: Bonnie Cash/EPA).
