oh, the news. ready the still disagreement on issues like human rights, but the us and russian president say talks have been positive and constructive. i think that the last thing he wants now is a cold war. ah, hell robin watching all their life. my headquarters here in doha also coming up executives of the pro democracy, new separate hong kong, arrested us accused of colluding with foreign enemies. high cost of living. we look at the worries of people in iran a day out from the vote for a new president and the man alumni

trying to prove is on my way to bold playstation. ah, welcome to the program, a promise of greater diplomacy. as to the 1st meeting between the us and russian president, joe biden and vladimir putin have called the summit meeting positive and constructive . agreed to resume talks on arms control and return on baset as to each other's capitals, for there was looking sign of agreement on other key issues including cybersecurity, ukraine, and the fate of the opposition nita, alexia valley. latasha. butler starts our coverage 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, i was always better off to several hours behind closed doors. there was some agreements pages to re post 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 ukraine and human rights booting dismiss, biden's concerns about the legs in a volley. calling the rush 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 when i communicated, i think that say that's ridiculous comparison. it's one thing for literally criminals to break through court and 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. i'm buses to that is clearly a step through reopening communication between moscow and washington supervision. this was a moment back on the world stage to play out well at home 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, why didn't may be 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, the hong kong. please arrest. advise exec executives at the apple. daily newspaper under the national security are imposed by beijing. not those detained include the editor in chief of the pro democracy outlets that accused of colluding with what the government calls foreign enemies to home, hong kong and china. the secretary for security has warned journalists not to use their work as tools to break the national security law. let's get on this with adrian brown, who is following the story for us from hong kong it is unfolding as we speak. what's the latest so far? well, so it's pretty quiet now. the police operation appears to be over the media of now left outside the offices of the apple, dated earlier on the course. there was plenty of action when in coordinated rates across hong kong,

police arrested 5 executives from the apple daily. they let from their homes and handcuffs. then at the same time, please poured into the headquarters of the apple daily. they moved into the new room, co journalists to get out there, then examined computers, the notebooks, during that time, all the stop to remain in the canteen for several hours. of course, this is a 2nd time in less than 10 months. this office has been a crime scene in august, jimmy ly, the owner of the apple daily, was arrested. and of course, he subsequently being charged under the new national security law. he's currently so in jail serving a string of sentences, taking part in a number of unauthorized assemblies in 2019, in the past few hours, we've been hearing from the secretary to security and hong kong john lee. and this message was essentially this journalist to play with fire will get burnt in hong kong. the suspects have been arrested

on strong evidence that they are conspiring to endanger national security. the action is taken against the criminals who make use of journalistic work as a tool to further their criminal activities. of course, adrian, this is cummings, are in context of a deteriorating environment ready for the pro democracy movement in hong kong. yes, i'll give you. i mean, if you remember the hand that 24 years ago when this form a british colony was handed back to china, the chinese promise that hong kong, unique way of life would continue. and that included freedom of the press. now, many people say that is now in serious jeopardy. just 2 months ago, reporters, reporters without borders released its annual freedom index,

placing hong kong in 18 place china was 177. now the, the arrest today come a course at an interesting time. the timing is always interesting and these sorts of occasions in on kong, because in just 2 weeks time the communist party across the board, it will be celebrating it's $103.00. and the one thing the party wants more than anything else. right now is debility, and that includes stability in hong kong, adrian brown, the 4th, and thanks very much for the latest. will think of the region, the 1st crew to be said to try this new space station is due to arrive shortly. before this is left to go from the fun lower center taking 3 for 3 months. and i love, i love more machines are planned over the next year and a half to complete its construction between the youth has wallace from basing not

long to go apparently before the astronauts actually arrive. so what stage are we asked at the moment? well, if olga scheduled are expected to arrive at the space station in about an hour, that's roughly 6 and a half to 7 hours after they boss it all from china's go be does it in the countries nor do so? and earlier this year, beijing announced it was teaming up with moscow to eventually build luna research station sometime between now and the next 2 decades. so this is very significant for china, it wants to overtake the u. s. potentially as the world's dominant space power. and as the other report looted to this is also coming at a very significant time for chinese government. the communist party is a celebration. it's 100 year anniversary in the 1st of july. and the chinese government wants to use these successes in space as proof somewhat of its success as a government here in china. so these astronauts in space right now they must be feeling

the pressure because really there is no room. the error continues in beijing. thanks very much but well, trying to admit it's a bit late to these base station game. it says it's cutting edge facility will lock out last the international space station will be i as, as it's know. so how do they compare? well, when completed at $66.00 metric tons chung joel will be 80 percent smaller than the i assess, it can only accommodate up to half of the social space stations crew assess, was built during more than 30 missions over 10 years. china hopes to complete its station within 2 years. the just a dozen missions by stations will be orbiting similar altitudes of around 400 kilometers. but the, i assess is nearing the end of its life span and is due to retiring 2020 full, potentially leaving chan jong as the only space station on earth or in orbit while still hill knowledge is there. i become prepared for the coming of former

accountable for stockton. what they say was an unnecessary conflict that killed 3000 people and just thousands. but i keep coming nearer, we don't want him to receive here as welcome because he sanction killian's in this country. if anything he can come home like any other orient but support to say he is no ordinary i've already and, and he's coming home to here. once we don't like people who want to use our pin. i what i walk back to your pan within a little compared to your, to monday, predict in for the political reason for that. those want to manipulate. there are no, we, we are and what kind of come up will you not pan from? because by boat, if he struck 70 feet taller sound whatever the current president elections 20 years ago, there was a full month stand off that sparked a wave of violence or med, i'm beauty equally body kareem says his leg was blown off at close range by

scene by the government says, because of the existing divisions in the country, not worth or risk. some political and at least have little doubt the former president can have a positive effect with and on what if he is coming back is also good for reconciling. not only the country but his divided party back, but is a politician. that's what he knows best. he could run in 2025, he's eligible but most i've already and popular front party is in need of reification after the formation of a break or function during this abscess. unless house government and civil society for 10 years try to unite dave audience and field, what was return, we'll have the reconciliation effort or divide it further remains to be seen on the rece, i'll do 0. i'll be job there on struggling economy will be on the minds of voters when they gave the polling stations on friday to select a new president, unemployment and inflation at all time highs. one of his 1st tasks will be to make

life better for all iranians. as a bank has more from the capital to her on on the streets of iran. there's one topic that everyone is talking about, the economy hit by some of the toughest sanctions the one has ever seen. as well as what some believe is government mismanagement. the covert pandemic has caused the economy to plummet further in 2019 the country. so widespread demonstrations after a fuel price, like, according to the iranian government, more than $200.00 people were killed in violence. the still unrest, but it's not limited to fuel prices. the muslim social goods, we saw our basic necessities since last year. prices of some items have gradually increased by 30 to 50 percent pastor, noodle salad dressings, junior tomato paste. everything you can imagine has had a 30 to 40 percent price rise in just one year. it rains the carpets, a famous around the world,

but even this trade has been hit hard long. they blame it on many reasons, but usually it's the sanction we have to live, but we're struggling economically. certainly the main reason that these things, but management has a significant role to the new president will have an uphill challenge when it comes to the economy. when i'm sure was that we didn't have a room in the chronic problem with always faced as inflation. it's always been high in the past decade was 40 percent on average. we had 2 inflation shocks in the last 4 to 5 years. inflation in the short term, could be controlled by interest rates, which in turn leads to recession. we can't continue going on with the card 40 percent inflation anymore. the government should phillips budget deficit and implement reforms. in the size of thereon, many people earn less than $150.00 a month. the woods here have adverts for laborers, usually paying less than the minimum wage. on getting the cost of living is very

high, it's very difficult. people have many problems, rents, and other miseries. you don't know whether to pay the rent or do shopping only god helps. officials should think about us renters the youth in the future. i just feel ashamed when i can buy something for my kid. at times. i can't really buy what i want for her. once that economic conditions are very bad, the price of cooking oil used to go up once a year. cooking or butter went up 4 times last year. we could make ends meet, our condition wasn't good, but it wasn't very bad either. now i can't buy butter or cheese, i expect from the new government to make goods cheap in this poor neighbourhood, some still hope things can change its working class areas like this one across iran . the pick stablish relies on free core support and the working class standard of living must be improved if the new president is there any sorts of success? i said vague. i just, there are there on though there's reluctance amongst people who fled conflict in
