Abstract: In this talk, I will discuss the peeling behaviour of the Weyl tensor near null infinity for asymptotically flat higher dimensional spacetimes. The result is qualitatively different from the peeling property in 4d. Also, I will discuss the rewriting of the Bondi energy flux in terms of "Newman-Penrose" Weyl components.
