BBC World Service - Weekend, More Than 1000 People Now Reported Missing In California Fires

President Trump is due to visit some of the affected areas today.

Currently there are over seventy known fatalities due to California's worst ever wildfire. President Trump is due to visit some of the affected areas later today. Also on the programme, we'll be joined by Ma Jian, the dissident Chinese writer whose books have been banned in that country for more than thirty years. We also go to Papua New Guinea to hear about the meeting of the Asia Pacific grouping of nations (APEC) and ask if the policy of "America First" is actually benefitting China?
