As China celebrates 100 years of its ruling communist party, we hear why it's not been the smoothest of roads - but the world's second largest economy is looking increasingly powerful. Meanwhile, Hong Kong reflects on a year of the new security law imposed by Beijing. Plus, the boss of a flying car company will tell us about their successful test flight. But will such vehicles really be coming to the roads and skies near you? Plus, how often do you wash your clothes? The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s Deborah Weitzmann has been taking a look at some of the companies around the world putting a sustainable spin on our laundry. We discuss all this with Rachel Cartland, author, writer and expert on Hong Kong and Erin Delmore, a political reporter based in New York City.
