to wait in this mess, i'm here to tell you that i think that many people died because of the lifting pace . deconstruct the media on out is era blue high things men strain ties. the leaders of the us and china meet virtually and acknowledge the need to improve cooperation and avoid conflict. ah, hello money site, this is al serra molly from o. so coming up and all i all ex, present, donald trump turns himself in to face contempt charges for refusing to cooperate with investigation into the u. s. capital riot. i'm never going to back down and they, they took on the wrong guy. there's not new sanctions for bella, bruce, the

e u and the u. s. plan to expand restrictions on minced accusing yet of encouraging migrant to illegally cross into poland ads and american journalists. he'd been imprisoned in myanmar keys to spreading false information has been free. ah, the president of the united states and china holding a virtual summit to try and iron out issues that continue to rise tensions between them. trade, taiwan sovereignty and human rights and hong kong are expected to be at the heart of the discussions. present gigi, pang and joe biden agree. they need to strengthen communication and coexist peacefully. we believe. busy and you and i have talked about this, all country have to play by the same rules of the road. why the united states is

always going to stand up for some values. and those are allies apartments. i think it's important we communicate honestly directly to one more about our priorities and our intentions. we have our correspond in beijing, katrina, you will be speaking to in just a moment. first let's go to our white house correspondent, kimberly hawk it good. what. what is the message the u. s. president wants to convey to the chinese president? well, this was a meeting or is a meeting of really trying to set the parameters of the relationship. and it's critical, given the fact that there happened to phone calls between these 2 leaders. but this is the 1st face to face. i'll be at a virtual one that's taking place and well, we don't expect that there will be major deliverables that come out of this in terms of any agreement or resolution of issue, particularly on the issues of security or trade. what the white house is

anticipating and hoping will be achieved as, as sort of a temperature check if you will, in terms of how the relationship moves forward. and so what we heard from president bided at the beginning of this meeting was that he was hoping to establish guard rails as he called it in order to ensure that some of the tensions that exist over issues, particularly like trade and security, that they not escalate into conflict, so this is really what this was about, but we do know that there will be other issues that will be brought up as well. the u. s. president intimated something that they believe both leaders can work on collaboratively is combat climate change. given the fact they're both major contributors in terms of greenhouse gas emissions. we also know that there are areas of cooperation when it comes to health security as well. so these issues that are considered differences between the 2. not likely to see some big progression, at least for now, but the hope is by establishing

a regular dialogue and communication that those differences can be resolved in the future. we should put out very quickly that the u. s. president went into this meeting in a strong position despite some of the lagging domestic poll numbers that he has here in the united states. he's just signed a $1.00 trillion dollar infrastructure overhaul bill is. so what this means is that this will, he says, create jobs and also allow the united states to compete against china and the 21st century. so he feels that the united states is in a strong position. and it's no coincidence that on the heels of siding that legislation, he's had this virtual summoner having this virtual summit with chinese president. she's been paying because he really wants to see this momentum moving forward. as he tries to lift the united states out of the pandemic related sort of depression that it has been in for so many months. many thanks for that. kimberly hawk at that at the white house we can speak now as a katrina you who's in beijing. katrina,

what does using ping one from this meeting? i think she's jumping really does want to see some positive result from this. we heard state media television networks. the dtn just tweet saying that the 1st half of the summit has been concluded. they also highlighted some of his key quotes, saying that there should be an increase in communications and cooperation that both countries need to shoulder, their international responsibilities and work together to tack of global challenges . such as the pandemic, as well as climate change. and that both countries should focus on a win win goal and a peaceful coexistence. so i do think there is some quiet optimism there. i think it's very unlikely that she didn't think would have agreed to these talks if he didn't see the results of this being positive, even if there are no concrete outcomes, but at least some sort of normalization of this relationship,

which has been very tense for years. now since the days of the previous trump administration, and i think they've been disagreements on everything from technology and trade to human rights. but in recent weeks we have seen some positive movement. i think most notably we saw the release of chinese tech executive from hallway mung. wander at the end of september after being detained in canada for about 3 years. beijing. so this is a very positive sign. and then we had just last week, this surprise, joint declaration at the end of the club, 26 climate change summit in glasgow. at the same time, there are some very serious and difficult disagreements between the 2 countries, the south china sea, which china seas as its territory. it's been increasing activity there in some would say it's aggressive moves against other countries who also claim that territory. and also against taiwan, which beijing sees as a red line issue. it sees the island as part of mainland china and we have seen various friendly gestures from the bud and administration towards the sighing when

a taiwan administration in recent months. and that infuriated china. but i think despite these challenges, china does want to see the finding of some common ground and 2 things to remember here. i think she didn't ping andro biden, all familiar with each other. they've known each other since the days of the obama administration. and to shoot and paying is in an extremely powerful position here in china. just last week we had this crucial meeting of top level lisa leaders gathering in beijing. and she didn't ping the consolidated his power. and next year, the president is about to enter his unprecedented 3rd term and office and he could potentially be the leader of china for the rest of his lives. so those are no doubt some things that will be taken into consideration as he continues with these talks today. katrina, you thank you. let's get more analysis on this. ross find gold is an asia political

risk unless he joins us live from ty, pay via zoom. many thanks for joining the program. the fact that this summit is actually taking place at all that's a wind surely isn't it depends. it's clear that the 2 readers. busy whoever they are are going to be several times a year, whether it's by phone or in person, or in this case, virtually as part of learning expectations, i think we should just look at this is a somewhat routine activity without really by check spec fusion or something significant will come out of it, despite the pleasant words at the outset from both she being and joe biden. how strained all relationships between the 2 countries at the moment? it's a question because if the relationship is strained across such a wide range of issues, maybe years ago,

there be more focus on trade for example. but now we see united states criticisms are action. certainly. this began in the latter half the truck ministration. not just on trade, but on, on targeted sanctions against officials, whether that, officials in jack to bad or hong kong action united states is taking with other countries. the notable example would be either the quad or the office agreement. again, these are things that began under the trump administration, continuing in part where was new initiatives under the bided administration. and you see the same with intellectual property or investigation. alleged in united states, again a number of chinese nationals have been indicted by official by the us government over visa fraud or similar issues in the points of contention or so why and spending so many different issues. it's fair to say that the relationship is

framed across all these very different areas. how much of this summer? so this, this, that shows some, it's ease about sending signals back home, back home to china, back home to the us. that's an interesting question as well, because frankly, i don't think many people in the united states will pay attention to this. obviously people are so concerned about the pandemic. we're going into the holiday season in the united states, thanksgiving and then christmas. but in china, it's obviously important as your correspondence indicated, especially coming out of the recent party meetings and heading into next year when it's why they expected that she will receive a 3rd term. it's important domestically in china, where a public opinion is, is really at the state, media or internet. censorship wants to change the direction of public opinion

in the united states. i think the president bided has to be prepared for a lot of criticism from republicans in congress because they're inevitably, they're going to point out that i did was a bit tonight and didn't go hard on some of those issues whether it's human rights, trade, or security or taiwan issues. so if i didn't have definitely got that criticism, but again, i'm not sure that there's going to be a wide, wide attention to, especially coming at my time in the united states. the new cycle that we need to move on by the next morning in the united states. many $1000.00 fee analysis ross find, go asia political risk analyst, a speaking to a staff and thai pay. donald trump's former political advisor, steve bowden, has appeared in court hours after he surrendered to the f. b i in washington, dc. he is facing contempt charges for refusing to cooperate with

a private citizen, not an officer, even with regard to officials who served in the white house. the committee is hoping these charges will make other trump allies think twice before ignoring their request as forbidden leaving court about to fight. i'm never going to back down late. they took on the wrong guy this time and of course can't make bad and testify . they can make him pay a price for not doing so, potentially sending him to prison for up to a year. petty call hain al jazeera washington. the european union is stepping up at sanctions on belarus, a president, alexander lucas shanker, is accused earth allowing migrants to illegally cross into poland as retaliation for earlier e sanctions. they were imposed last year after the barrison governments cracked down on the opposition. the new sanctions will target travel agencies and airlines . travel agencies from the middle east are accused of working with mince to offer
