China to Unveil New Leadership Team

All eyes on the final day of China's Congress as the Xi era enters a second term

As the curtain falls on China's 19th National Congress, we examine President Xi Jinping's legacy as he begins a second term with a new Politburo. Tension over North Korea's nuclear programme has made many South Koreans nervous. We visit an international air show in Seoul, where displays of military might offer reassurance. And, while Catalonia's independence referendum continues to pose questions over Spain's future, it isn't the only region seeking more autonomy. We ask why two of Italy's richest regions want greater financial freedom from Rome.
