Kate Adie presents stories from Mongolia, Turkey, Djibouti, Brazil and Africa. Xi Jinping met Donald Trump in Washington this week. Talking points included Taiwan, the Iran War, the trade truce – and Artificial Intelligence. Our China correspondent Laura Bicker has travelled to Inner Mongolia, where Chinese data centres are being built at a rapid rate as China seeks industry dominance. A court in Turkey has sentenced the already-jailed former Mayor of Istanbul Ekrem İmamoğlu to two more years in prison and banned him from politics. Rights groups have said this legal action is political motivated – as journalists, comedians and the LGBT plus community have also been targeted by government crackdowns. Emily Wither has been in Istanbul. Djibouti has seen an influx of thousands of Yemeni refugees in the space of a week, fleeing the regional conflict which has escalated as Saudi-backed Yemeni forces try to regain territory from Iran-backed Houthis. Frank Gardner has been to a refugee camp in Djibouti - and reflects on his past visits. Brazil is split between those who believe in light regulation – and further exploitation of natural resources - and those who want to preserve Brazil’s rich natural eco-systems. Kirsty Lang has just come back from one of the country’s major cattle producing regions, where a new initiative could be part of the solution. And finally, the BBC’s World Affairs correspondent Mark Doyle died this week. He was best known for his reporting from across Africa, and his colleague and fellow Africa correspondent, Andrew Harding, wrote a tribute to him in 2015 when he left the BBC, which still resonates today.
