  • This is the Global News Podcast from the BBC World Service.

  • I'm Nick Miles, and at 13 Hours GMT on Tuesday 2nd September, these are our main stories.

  • On a rare trip outside North Korea,

  • Kim Jong-un is in China to meet President Xi Jinping and other leaders, including Vladimir Putin.

  • Brazil's Supreme Court is beginning the final stage of Jair Bolsonaro's trial on charges of plotting a coup after losing the presidential election.

  • And a simple new test that can detect Alzheimer's in its early stages.

  • Also in this podcast, why an Australian state is banning mini fish-shaped soy sauce containers.

  • And later.

  • We were at the very spot.

  • where all these lost souls had gone down and they were no longer lost.

  • We hear from the man who discovered the wreck of the Titanic 40 years ago this week.

  • It was late afternoon in northeastern China when a dark green armoured train called Sunshine rattled into the Beijing railway station.

  • On board, the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un,

  • sitting in a wood-panelled carriage surrounded by aides and with a big North Korean flag behind him on the wall.

  • Mr Kim, who was then driven in a motorcade through the city,

  • will attend a huge military parade in the Chinese capital on Wednesday.

  • It will be the first time he's been... at an international gathering alongside other heads of state.

  • Ahead of that,

  • it's been another busy day for President Xi and his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin.

  • They sat down for tea and cakes in the president's house and some equally palatable rhetoric.
