Cross examining a Tabloid Executive who said he helped the Trump Campaign suppress stories. Scotlands first minister humza yousaf weighs up his future as he faces a vote of no confidence after his Power Sharing Deal with the greens collapsed. And two of the most valuable items ever to be salvaged from the Titanic Which Go under the hammer this weekend. Welcome to verified live, three hours of breaking stories, and checking out the truth behind them. The us top diplomat, Antony Blinken, has told the bbc that he is prepared to take steps against china if beijing continues to send key supplies to russia which are used to aid its invasion of ukraine. The Secretary Of State has been holding talks with the chinese leader, xijinping, for talks in beijing where he also raised concerns about taiwan, and industrial espionage. Mr xi in return called for greater mutual co operation, so both countries could succeed. After that meeting, mr blinken sat down with the bbc� s laura bicker. What were the biggest points of contention for you . I was last here ten months ago and that really kicked off much greater engagement between our countries, diplomatic engagement with a number of my colleagues coming to china and most importantly President Biden and President Xi Meeting at the end of last year. They agreed it was very important to sustain this diplomatic dialogue and communication because we have an obligation to try to manage the relationship between our countries responsibly given the importance it has for our own people and people around the world. That has two aspects. One is making sure we communicate clearly in areas where we have differences, to avoid miscalculations and misunderstandings. The other is to see if we can build greater co operation in areas where we have mutual interest in doing that. That is exactly what i was focused on here, carrying that agenda forward. And clearly there are areas where we have profound differences but we are talking about it and making our intentions clear but also is in progress and areas of co operation on military to military communications. Now a dialogue in al. And we also to build up people up people to people exchanges. What you need to walk away with to make this Trip A Success for you . Weve seen ready that this is a process and is not like flicking a switch. President s agreed wed co operate on countering narcotics, opioids, the biggest cause of death for young people and though it is made with chemicals, precursors that get synthesised into this opioid. Those chemicals are often manufactured in china for totally appropriate legal purposes but they get diverted to illegal organisations that turn interventional and are sent to the us. We have seen a real change from china trying to deal with that but in our conversations today we focus on how to carry that forward to have a real impact and make sure we have results, looking for steps china can take to counter that. As you mentioned, we announced we would have a dialogue on artificial intelligence, the risks and safety concerns because it important we talk about it. You asked beijing to stop providing components to russia in its invasion of ukraine. What makes you think this time they will listen to you . 70 of the Machine Tools russia is getting are coming from china, 90 of them are microelectronics. We have been clear this is doing two things, helping russia perpetuate its aggression against ukraine but also presenting a growing threat to europe. Was hearing from europeans is their concern about this. For china, if you want is better relations not only with us but with countries in europe, it cant do that while at the same time helping to fuel the biggest threat to European Security since the cold war. We have taken action against chinese engaged in this and what made clear today is if china wont act, we will. Lets speak to robert daly, director of the Wilson CentersKissinger Institute on china and the us. Thank you for your time.

But against a background of this trip, both sides say they want to stabilise a relationship while each is taking actions they know are going to raise the threat perceptions of the other. China will be welcoming blatt Vladimir Putin in may, supplying not only Machine Tools and semiconductors and russian gas and oil, but also Missile Engines to russia. They have been very aggressive, threatening an american treaty ally in the philippines and the us for its part is taking a number of actions drawing closer to japan and taiwan and philippines that increase chinas threat perceptions. But neither side has changed its view of the other, has changed its view of the other, has changed its view of the other, has changed its own interests or strategies.

I think the best framework for understanding the massive data and stories about it is to understand that the us and china and a growing number of other nations are already engaged in a new kind of cold war. They will be different from the old one but will be very long and dangerous and involves the resurrection of mutually assured destruction and Nuclear Arms Race and will involve delicate, long term balance but each side infect is determined to prevail over the other in a global competition across every index of power by all means short of war. They are very sincere about that which makes this a cold war. And with these trips, both sides are trying to figure out how to manage this cold war competition is such that they do not descend into conflict.

China does not want to do that, i dont think china wants the war as it has good relations with ukraine, but its committed to supporting russia. Taiwan is the biggest Potential Flashpoint with the right combination of deterrence and diplomacy, it is possible to avoid war in the taiwan strait. The likelihood of war, whilst still though, is increasing. Both sides are war gaming with each other increasing capabilities in the region.

The jab, which is personalised, uses the same technology as that in some covid vaccines. Early studies show that when used with another cancer drug it almost halved the risk of recurrence or death after three years. Melanoma is the most serious form of skin cancer and can spread to other areas of the body. Experts say 86 of these cases could be prevented by taking the right precautions. Heres our health correspondent, jim reed. Could a jab like this change the way cancer is treated . Last month, steve young became the first person in the uk to be given this personalised vaccine, not to prevent the disease, but to try to stop a skin cancer returning. At least by being on a trial, im actively doing something that, you know, im having a fight, basically, im having a fight with whatever it was that gave me a melanoma. Last summer, steve had this tumour removed from his scalp. Those same cancer cells were flown to the United States and used to make the new experimental treatment. By priming, or preparing, his immune system, the hope is that steves own body can better find and attack any cancer cells left over after his surgery. The trials being run at this hospital in london and others are based on the same Technology Used in some covid jab called mrna, combined with a second treatment. Early Research Suggests it significantly reduced the risk of this specific skin cancer called melanoma returning three years after surgery. Researchers hope the same approach could work more widely. The real potential here, of course, is expanding this into other cancers because its not a technology that just works in one cancer. If it works in melanoma, it could work across a number of different cancers, lung cancer, bowel cancer, Kidney Cancer etc. So theres a potential here for a really transformative change in how we treat patients with cancer. For patients like steve, a musician from hertfordshire, the hope is this personalised approach will one day sit alongside proven treatments like radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Weeks on from his treatment, he is thinking about his future. Ifeel like i have this new lease of life and im actually really loving life at the moment, and ijust really hope that whats happening with the trial and the results they get are going to be good news and its going to go on to do amazing things. The uk arm of this global trial is taking place at this hospital and seven other sites across the country. But this is still very early stage research, with full results not expected before the end of the decade. To get a better understanding of how it feels to experience melanoma and just how significant an effective vaccine could be, im joined now byjamie cundy, who has been in and out of hospital for many years with reoccurring melanoma. Hes also a sunguard ambassador for the melanoma fund. Thank you forjoining us today. Tell us about your own experience. What happened to you in recent years chris nickel .
