Sir Keir Starmer says he wants a more sophisticated relationship with China. However, the Chinese leader Xi Jinping has acknowledged that there have been twists and turns in UK-China ties but admitted that engagement is "unavoidable".

The Prime Minister is on a three-day visit to the country - the first time a British prime minister has been to China in eight years.

Tensions continue to escalate between the US and Iran after a warning from President Trump that time is running out for a nuclear deal.

Plus, a man paralysed in an accident is given new hope after being given Elon Musk's Neuralink brain implant. Sebastian Gomez-Pena, one of seven people fitted with the chip in the UK trial, can now control a laptop simply by thinking, despite being paralysed from the neck down.

Sophy and Wilf have the day's news in just 10 minutes.
