Been giving since he was elected, that america is back, and i suppose in this case he wants to say, i am back. i still have a fair bit of clout in the next two years are not going to be me having to fight a rockets congress. i have managed to hold on more than i expected. he mentioned that, in fact, in one of his answers to a question about his meeting with xijinping. so his answers to a question about his meeting with xi jinping. so that is one thing, but i think one of the key priorities for the americans at the 620 is again trying to get a unified international approach to the war, to russia s fourth ukraine, especially as it has continued to drag on and there are questions about support war with ukraine. the fact ukraine is a manage to take the city of kherson will be something i am sure he will have used to defend his position that the 620 needs to stand with ukraine at this point. qm. that the 620 needs to stand with ukraine at this point. 0k, barbara, thank ou ukraine at this point. 0k, barbara, thank you very ukraine at this point. 0k, barbara, thank you very much ukraine at this point. 0k, barbara, thank you very much indeed. - ukraine at this point. 0k, barbara, thank you very much indeed. that l thank you very much indeed. that is barbara live with us outside the
So the ukrainian military is conducting sweeping operations there, which also complicates things. it s being reported now that ukraine says russia destroyed a key kherson power station before its retreat, further damaging the infrastructure that the civilians need access to for their day to day lives. ukraine now saying russia destroyed the key kherson power station before its retreat. at the united nations general assembly, the ukrainian ambassador said this: russia has tried its best to destroy ukraine in a very literal sense. from day one of the full scale invasion, russia has been throwing bombs, missiles, shells of every kind at ukrainian cities and villages, targeting everything from plants and factories to residential buildings, schools, hospitals and kindergartens. he introduced a resolution asking russia to pay reparations
More now on our top story the 620 gathering in bali. for the first time since he took office, president biden has held his first face to face meeting with china s president xi jinping. this was the moment the two leaders met. there the two leaders met. were some smiles, handshak as there were some smiles, handshaking as you d expect. this is on the eve of the summit beginning, 620 stands for a group of 20, representatives from 20 will be there but needless to say, to some degree, the whole thing is being overshadowed by russia s invasion of ukraine and how thatis russia s invasion of ukraine and how that is dealt with. president biden has in the past said the us is prepared to use force if china were ever to invade taiwan. on monday, he stuck with that message. i absolutely believe there is need not be a new cold war. i ve met many times with xijinping be a new cold war. i ve met many times with xi jinping and we were
Where they disagree strongly, and many where they hope to find common ground president biden headset from the start that he will be blunt and straightforward, and from his own account of that meeting, he was. he did not hold back on all the areas where the us has objections to chinese policy, in particular on taiwan and undemanding that russia should pullback taiwan and undemanding that russia should pull back from ukraine. but for all of that, he did stress the need for competition between the two countries, and he said the us will compete intensely with china for influence in the world. this should not veer into conflict. president xi also stressed the responsibility of both sides to manage their relationship responsibly. so there was a very different tone from a we have heard from the two countries over the past year, as their relations have become more and more fractious, the president xi did stress that taiwan is the redline that the us cannot cross this is one subject where it is probably difficult for either side to move
Estate law, that energy prices stays low, and she drew the link directly to the conflict in ukraine. people here are very worried about that becoming a long standing issue that doesn t get results. the becoming a long-standing issue that doesn t get results. doesn t get results. the meeting lasted ust doesn t get results. the meeting lasted just over doesn t get results. the meeting lasted just over three doesn t get results. the meeting lasted just over three hours, - lasted just over three hours, eventual things were discussed, including economic and strategic competition between the us and china, also russia s invasion of ukraine, plus concerns of the various north korean actions, and also china s actions towards taiwan. and on taiwan, you may remember a couple of months back, there was a lot of controversy in august when nancy pelosi visited taipei. she met with a taiwan s president. that made the highest ranking official in 25 years from america to visit taiwan stop bidding men, it has its own 6overnment, but it is claimed by china. this was the response at the time immediate military exercises, seen by some as a trial run for a
Including on climate change. here s the view of dr yu jie of chatham house on today s meeting between presidents xi and biden. i think what xi jinping is trying to do today is cool the temperature and the likeliness of military escalation between the two sides. but this does notjust depend on beijing but this also largely depends on washington as well, i think given what has happened with russia s invasion in ukraine, beijing think very carefully that it does not want to lead itself into international isolation, in case there might be a military is collation that happens on the way. so we don t really know, but i think overall the aim is cooling down the temperature. overall the aim is cooling down the temperature- overall the aim is cooling down the temperature. jonathan head is also in bali. temperature. jonathan head is also in bali- here temperature. jonathan head is also in bali. here is temperature. jonathan head is also in bali. here is further temperature. jonathan head is also in bali. here is further analysis - in bali. here is further analysis from him. in bali. here is further analysis from him- in bali. here is further analysis from him. ,. ., , from him. the scheduled three hours for this vertical from him. the scheduled three hours for this vertical meeting from him. the scheduled three hours for this vertical meeting between - for this vertical meeting between these two superpower leaders and they used all of that time covering a large range of subjects, many
He is shaking his approach to the virus? look how he is shaking president his approach to the virus? look how he is shaking president biden s - his approach to the virus? look how| he is shaking president biden s hand without a mask, it s unthinkable that half a year ago, a year ago that half a year ago, a year ago that the president of china would be doing this, given that at one stage in the pandemic, journalists had to quarantine for a week to even be in the same great hall of the people with president xijinping the same great hall of the people with president xi jinping so the same great hall of the people with president xijinping so i think it s already a step forward and what we might start seeing now is the zero covid policy, the borders of china s inwards and outwards movement is easier, quarantine is easier, people going out is easier but if and when there are cases, lockdown happens drastically and heavily so that is the kind of situation we might be moving into, but again, there is a lot of wishful thinking here from notjust businesses but people who are chinese overseas. businesses but people who are chinese overseas. let s now turn to ukraine, where president zelensky has made a surprise visit to kherson.
