prepares for the homecoming of farm of presidents in the home basketball 10 years after he was arrested, the claims against humanity, ah constructive and pragmatic, that's how us president joe biden, and his russian counterpart letting the person have described their meeting and their 1st face to face talks since biden took office. the 2 leaders agreed to resume talks and arms control and cybersecurity, now supplies to return ambassadors to each other's capitals, after they were withdrawn earlier this year. but disagreements and issues like human rights and ukraine remain. natasha boss has more from geneva, an elegant 18th century villa overlooking lake geneva was the setting for the high stakes meeting. russian leader vladimir putin arrived 1st. he was greeted by the

swift present, who then welcome joe biden. the 2 men looked 10th as they stood for their 1st official photo handshake. bailey broke the ice relations between washington and moscow. at the lowest point in decades, the face to face talks were aimed at improving them. as i said outside and i was always off to several hours behind closed doors, there was some agreements pledges to repose them, buses extend an arms control treaty and disgust. cybersecurity both said the meeting was positive, but there was little progress on other issues, including the conflict and ukraine and human rights, who to dismiss biden's concerns about the legs in a volley. calling the russian opposition leader, a law breaker. ignoring the rules of law, this person went abroad for medical treatment. he arrived back in russia deliberately trying to be arrested. he knew what he wanted to fight and was clearly unimpressed by putin's attempt to compare russia,

treatment of opposition activists to the u. s. capital, right? i response is kind of what i communicated. i think that's, that's ridiculous comparison. it's one thing for literally criminals to break through cordon, go into the capital, kill a police officer, and be held accountable. and that is for people objected marching on a capital one said you are not allowing me to speak freely. there were no major breakthroughs in this summit. and clearly, little common ground to put the return of us from russian on buses. to there is clearly a step to reopening communication between moscow and washington putin. this was a moment back on the world stage. likely to play out well is home for fight and it was an opportunity to put down red line and distance himself from his predecessor donald trump's approach. often accused of being soft on russia bite and maybe

closer to the more stable relationship. he says he wants with moscow, but he's still unlikely to be a predictable one. natasha butler, jazeera geneva charles cochin as a senior fellow at the council on foreign relations. and he explains the positive and negative take away from the meeting, both good and bad, and besides the positive, more than the negative. and yeah, one of the issues that buying focused on is stablish in a working group, you're talking about strategic stability. one of the things that buy it and then we'll be talking. * about in the next 3 to 6 months to present inviting that is, can we figure out a way to get more strategic stability, not less. we don't know. it's a good time. the conversation is beginning of the things that most concerns president biden as well as many american because we just suffered or shut down the meat plant. the shut down or pipeline is hacking, sometimes from the russian government,

sometimes from criminal gang operating inside russia is response to this concern with, well, i don't know what he's talking about. we don't do that. and if you're not even at a point where there's an engagement on the core set of facts, there's going to be trouble ahead. but interestingly, biden's said in passing something because my ears to pick up. and that was china, that he think that mr. might be getting more uncomfortable with china over time, because if it's growing waste and ambition, i think that in the back of mr. by mind was an effort to perhaps exploit growing russian discomfort with china as a way of trying to pull russia westward and weaken to some extent, that beijing influence that comes from the russian paging alliance. the 1st crew to be sent to china's new space station have bordered the rocket on their set to

launch in less than an hour and 20 minutes. the sun through 12 missions going to take the 3 men, including china's oldest astronaut to the age of $56.00 for 3 months, stay in the floating lab. 11 more emissions are planned over the next year and a half to complete the station is called check gong and one translation is heavenly palace. want to show you some live pictures in the yukon launch center. that's in the gobi desert in northwest china. that's where the rocket set to take off the mission is being seen as another step towards establishing beijing is a key power in space for katrina. you're joining us live now from beijing katrina. earlier i was watching pictures of the astronauts being busted through the local time. great cheering, great applause by crowds there. but this is being seen, i think, as not so much groundbreaking effort, more of a practical one. what are they planning to achieve when they're in space? well, i think it's both groundbreaking and end practical. this will be the longest crude space mission for china to date. and the 1st time that it's cent astronauts to

space for about 5 years. and they'll be going up to the chan going spending most of the time in the chin her the cool module of the space station and most of what they will be doing is really performing maintenance work on the module performing some space walks really making sure everything is okay, this is the 1st time ashley will be living in that part of the space station which was only sent up just in april. now that call module the chan her is about 15 meters long. it's designed to house astronauts for a longer period of time for about 6 months, but just for the 1st time, they're only be up for 3 months. so in this international space station will be completed, if all goes to plan by 2022 and this is the 3rd of 11 missions that will be required to complete it. and afterwards, i hope that will be really yours to conduct a lot of scientific experiments. benefit not only china, but the international scientific community as well. you know,

talking of the international scientific community though china, of course was blocked from being part of the international space station project. how much did that play into itself is to create its own space station i think that was a very significant part of china's plants or nasa actually ban china from being involved in the international space station in 2011 due to security concerns. and since then, china really has had the plans to build its own internet, its own space station, pardon me. now trying to 1st sent a man into space in 2003. it became the 3rd country to do so off to the us and russia. so it was kind of late to the game, but since then, china has borne, pulled billions of dollars into becoming an international space power, which is really what it wants to do in the long term. and it has achieved quite significant successes in that field so far. it became the 1st country to send a were over to the fall side of the moon. it's also landed a rove rover on laws and becoming the 2nd country to do so. and it also has plans

to send people to the moon eventually. and it has been blocked out of nasa in the plans, but china is reportedly talking to russia to perhaps work with russia to build but space station on the moon, nor date as to when that will happen. originally they will planning to do that by 2030, but because of corporate and other reasons that has been pushed back, but china definitely has big plans the space going forward and continue. thanks very much. indeed, we're just been watching pictures of the astronauts inside the the rocket there and the it's a long march walker, which is powering the capsule, could be taken into space. the door on the capture was not being closed and they're not working. the restaurants and working entirely on their own within that capture we're going to be watching for that launch is due to happen in about 17 minutes time. a car bomb inside columbia military base has injured 36 people leaving 3 people in the critical condition. the defense minister says the country's

the scenes of unity a so very different from the trump era would have been watched very closely in moscow and beijing. no one has gotten more satisfaction out of all the disharmony that donald trump has sewed in the united states than the leaders of russia and china. so i think that they kind of view this as a, as a precarious point, and they do need to be mindful about kind of democratic regimes standing up to some of their kind of increasingly authoritarian impulses if president putin is. and he wasn't showing it when he met the u. s. leader. for nearly 4 hours of talks. there were no concrete outcomes from both sides said was a constructive meeting, just a commitment to try and work together in the future. among the u. s. is closest allies here in the u. k. and in europe, there's a real sense of relief. after the trump years does now predictability and stability
