There have been widespread power outages across China as the country lacks coal. James Mayger is China economy editor for Bloomberg in Beijing, and explains the background to the problems. Also in the programme, the 大象传媒's Victoria Craig reports on how climate change became one of the key issues in the recent German federal election, and meets some of those recovering from this summer's devastating floods. Plus, after several pandemic-related delays, the 25th James Bond film, No Time to Die, will get its world premiere at the Royal Albert Hall in London today. We speak to 大象传媒 entertainment correspondent Colin Paterson, who is on the red carpet.
