Japanese Prime Minister shinzo abe shook hands at the apec summit in beijing monday. The meeting is considered a breakthrough in tensions between the two countries mainly over a longstanding territorial dispute over a chain of islands in the east china sea. The last formal meeting at this level between china and japan took place nearly three years ago. U. S. President obama is also in beijing for the apec meetings. It is the first stop on his weeklong asia trip. Hes also expected to meet with chinas president to discuss key Foreign Policy issues like Cyber Security. Mr. Obama then heads to myanmar and finally australia for the g20 summit. Chinas human rights record is also under the microscope while president obama is there. It usually is. David mckenzie joins us live from beijing with more about his visit. Reporter thats right, its a crucial trip for president obama to the asia region. Especially here to china. Hell have several meetings with president xi jinping. And since the Obama Administration announced this pivot to asia or what they like to call a rebalance in asia to show the u. S. Is committed to its asiapacific allies theres been a great deal of mistrust between china and the u. S. On issues like you mentioned of Cyber Security and others. Chinese leaders and thinkers are criticizing the u. S. For trying to contain the rise of china in the asiapacific while the u. S. Is suspicious of chinas role in the region, particularly its increasing flexing of its military muscles when it comes to disputes in the east china region, east asia region. One with of good news was the meeting between xi jinping and Prime Minister abe today. That was a long time in the making and does show that there is a warming of relations between japan and china which has been incredibly frosty for at least two years. What Common Ground might there be between these two as they meet on wednesday . Well, certainly between the u. S. And china there are a lot of issues where there is disagreement. Including chinas human rights record. Xi jinping is bound to brush that off but there is criticism from the u. S. But also on issues of Cyber Security, military cooperation. Theres just generally not been a good relationship, many feel, between the world super power and the emerging super power of china. But there are some common ways that they could look forward and thats on issues like climate change, also trade. The u. S. And china trying to develop a bilateral trade treaty. So any signs of progress in those areas will be important. But its also about the personal relationship between president obama and president xi. Certainly after the democrats drumming in the midterm elections obama might seem hes coming here a slightly weakened president. But its often the case u. S. President s focus in their last two years in office on Foreign Policy issues and this could be an opportunity for president obama to reshape the china u. S. Relationship. Yes, on Cyber Security i remember when he met with the chinese president in california and discussed that. The meeting got a little bit icy. It will be interesting to see if we hear anything on that. What about any real progress, david on trade deals . Well, there is a trade deal that at least 12 countries 12 countries exactly are trying to push through. Thats the Transpacific Partnership or the tpp. Now, thats important because it really would open up trade for some key allies of the u. S. And the region. There are major sticking points, in particular between japan and the u. S. On agricultural issues. President obama earlier today said that there has been some momentum in that area. But few expect this trade, multilateral trade agreement, will be pushed through at this meeting. This is really a meeting of 21 countries in the asiapacific region where we dont expect any major breakthroughs but certainly the tone of the meeting will be important and whether they can at least push through positive steps on trade and for some of the key kind of global tensions out there, including russia and the u. S. And everybody else. This will be a key meeting where World Leaders will get to talk especially on the sidelines of the multi have lateral talks. David mckenzie will be covering it for us in beijing, thank you.

Sunday night was no exception. The historic landmark was awash in bright lights and colors as germany and the world celebrated the 25th anniversary of the fall of the berlin wall. The music and fireworks were followed by the release, there they go, one by one, thousands of illuminated balloons that traced the former path of the citys infamous cold war barrier. German chance already Angela Merkel paid tribute to the unforgettable night a quarter century ago when that wall came tumbling down. Translator it showed that we have the power to shape our destiny and make things better. That is the message of the fall of the wall. The berlin wall was the living embodiment of the iron curtain separating families and friends for 28 years. Until the night of november 9th, 1989, when suddenly it became irrelevant. And eastern europes top communist leader actually decided to keep it that way. Here is jim clancy with more from berlin. Here at the Brandenburg Gate as the 25th anniversary fall of the wall celebration continues, probably the biggest standing ovation went to the former leader of the soviet union. Mikhail gorbachev. This crowd roared for him when they saw his image come up on the screen. Because so many people credit him with being the man responsible for allowing it to happen. Standing up against the other leading communists in moscow and allowing berlin and other countries along the iron curtain to have their freedom. At the same time, mr. Gorbachev, who i talked to at length, had dinner with on saturday night, made it very clear that hes concerned. Hes concerned about the situation in ukraine. Concerned about natos plans to conduct military exercises in the baltic states. He says all of that amounts to provocations by both sides. Those provocations risk a new cold war. Translator the world is on the brink of a new cold war. Some are even saying it has already begun. And yet while the situation is so dramatic, we do not see the Main International body, the u. N. Security council, playing any role or taking concrete action. Reporter one of the men who paid tribute to Mikhail Gorbachev here in berlin over the course of the last few days was the former hungarian Prime Minister nick lash nimet. He does not agree with gorbachev. He thinks both sides are still talking. We are not facing now a cold war 2. We are not there. Cold war has got its own logic in terms of diplomacy, conversations between the two parties, and especially in the field of military. We are still talking to putin and to the rest of the world. And i am a strong believer in dialogue, in dialogue, and finding a compromise. Reporter former Prime Minister nimet thinks its crucial at this time for mr. Poroshenko in pe 87 and Vladimir Putin in moscow to get a grip on the extremists that are in Eastern Ukraine that represent both of their countries. In order to do that theyre going to have to become more active politically. Theyre going to have to play a tougher hand against those extremist elements in order to prevent the situation there from getting any worse. In his words, already 4,000 people have died. Already innocent civilians aboard a Malaysia Airlines jet have had their lives ruined, they have been lost. It is time for leaders, if they want to be responsible, if they want to make progress from the fall of the wall, to take action. Jim clancy, cnn, berlin. Nice support from jim. Prosecutors in hong kong want to make sure the man accused of murdering two young indonesian women is mentally fit to enter a plea. Ruric jutting was in court today but his case was adjourned until november 24th. Thats him on the right. Police say the killing happened in the 29yearolds apartment where the two victims were found mutilated. Indonesians in hong kong spent sunday in mourning. Reporter his second appearance in court lasted no more than five minutes. The 29yearold british banker entered the courtroom flanked by one policeman and he looked tired as well as unshafin, in the same clothes he wore a week ago during his first court appearance. As he took his position in the dock he let out a heavy sigh which was audible to most of the courtroom. As for the proceedings, it was the prosecution lawyer who kicked off asking for a twoweek adjournment, noting that mr. Jutting has not yet given consent for reconstruction to be conducted. The magistrate clarified and asked if that was pending psychiatric fitness reports. And the prosecution lawyer agreed. The defense was given a chance to respond and said they had no objection to that adjournment. But they wanted to make it very clear that mr. Jutting had not given his consent for that reconstruction yet. Not none at all. Mr. Jutting is charged with two counts of murder and as yet he has not entered a plea. These psychological evaluations will discern whether or not hes mentally fit to do so. Meanwhile on sunday, a vigil was hell for the two victims, two indonesian women in their 20s.
