Narrative:
Received ECAM warning at approximately 1 hour into flight. Contacted dispatch and maintenance control via sat. Was decided unable to proceed with bleed loss as our APU bleed was on MEL and would leave us only 1 bleed system. Dispatch requested we land at ZZZZ for repairs. Proceeded to ZZZZ; briefed crew and contacted operations at ZZZZ; made visual approach with overweight landing; runway 26L. Entered bleed leak and overweight landing in logbook. Maintenance repaired aircraft and we continued onto ZZZ. I believed it would be safer to land overweight since I did not know the extent of the right wing bleed leak.
