Newsday

Available for 29 days

Presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping have been holding their final round of talks in Beijing. Mr Trump said they'd made some fantastic trade deals, though he didn't give details. He'd earlier said China may buy US oil and aircraft. And a federal jury in Chicago has ordered Boeing to pay nearly $50 million to the family of a young woman who was killed when a Boeing 737 Max jet crashed in Ethiopia in 2019. We speak to her mother. And we speak to residents in Ukraine in a week that's seen some of the most severe Russian air attacks in the country. Presenters: James Copnall and Anne Soy.
