the important service that they provide, the city we say we need to take america to try to bring people together trying to deal with people who've been left behind me. ah, ah job, i didn't call her better and more honest communication between china and the us after a virtual summit between the countries president. ah, you're all channels, is there a light from a headquarters in delphi navigate the also ahead? us asked russia to use this influence to solve a migrant crisis at the poll and bella recorder,

as you lanes meant for encouraging in legal coughing. an ally of ex president donald trump turned himself in to face contempt charges for refusing to cooperate with an investigation into the u. s. capital ryan gigi. look in the one i will tell you why the government in the democratic republic of congo bands, some artists from playing ah, but we begin with breaking news from uganda, where we're receiving reports of 2 explosions in the capital come paula. one blas took place near the central police station checkpoint and the 2nd near that parliamentary building was that more for you. as soon as we have more detail, president joe biden has told us chinese counterpart the u. s. a strongly opposed to

unilateral efforts to change the status quo and taiwan. he made those remarks during a virtual meeting which he jumping the president social discuss trade as well as challenges with global energy supplies. kimberly healthcare reports from the white house. the leaders of the world's 2 biggest economies, fat face to face for the 1st time using their virtual summit as a way to reset points of pension in their relationship. we need to establish a common sense guard rails, to be clear and honest, where we disagree and work together or interest intersect, especially on vital global issues like climate change. for years, the united states is accused china of economic and defense provocations that include disrupting global trading practices. that hurt american businesses were recently stepping up military incursion near taiwan. president,

chill bite and said recently, the u. s. would defend taiwan in any conflict that in tuesday summit, he also told the chinese president, the us was committed to a one china policy and deposed any change in taiwan status. president. she's paying referred to by and as an old friend, st. china and the u. s. need to increase communication and cooperation to make sure what's china and the united states should respect each other coexistence piece, empathy, new cooperation. almost all but respect between the 2 countries has been challenging the united states. the ledges. chinese government is ms. treating chinese muslims known as wiggers, and his protests, the crackdown on pro democracy demonstrators in hong kong job. i didn't. popularity is sagging domestically in the polls, but he went into his conversation,

wishing, paying fresh from a legislative victory, siding into law, a $1.00 trillion dollar infrastructure overhaul. the biden says, will create jobs and allow the united states to compete with china in the 21st century. there was some speculation she would invite bite into the winter olympics in beijing in february, which some members of congress want him to avoid. but according to officials, the subject never came up. our bilateral relationship evolve seems to me to have a profound impact, not only on our countries, but quite frankly, the rest of the world. we have a responsibility to the world as well as to our people. in all the summer produce no major announcements, but instead was designed to de escalate geo political tensions. so the us and china are able to stabilize their relationship and avoid destabilizing the entire world.

kimberly how can al jazeera the white house, katrina, you has more from beijing. i think she's in thing wanted 2 things. first, he wanted to appear strong, strong for china as well as a strong leader himself and to i think he genuinely wanted an improvement in the ties between the 2 countries. so what we've seen, it seems like they jane thinks that it was successful. chef along the vice foreign minister who was present during the talks described them as fruitful and constructive. and we've been seeing a few lines from the foreign ministry and from state media. and the way they seem to talk about the talks. it also seems to have a very positive tone. we had present gigi being described the relationship between the 2 countries as the most important in the world. he said that the 2 countries of the like 2 ships and that everything should be done to avoid conflict and confrontation, and that ideological divisions could cause catastrophe. and he also warned the u. s

. not to play, and he 0 sum gains. and in turn, they also said that the u. s. so that it would not strive to change the chinese system. something that would be considered a when they drink eyes. and they talked about trade as well. and the desire to fast track economic exchanges, which would be a change and something positive going forward. and also, they didn't want us to stop using security concerns to suppress chinese companies. i think the biggest thing though, the biggest talking point that has been mentioned here in beijing is the topic of taiwan the sectors they has accused russia a behaving recklessly after it blew up one of its own old satellites and timmy blinking made the comments after moscow's weapons test endangered the lives of 7 astronauts on the international space station. the explosion created at least $1500.00 pieces of space particles that will stay in orbit for years to come.

the white house calling on russia to use its influence on speak to bella ruth about the migrant crisis. at the border with poland, the you has already imposed further sanctions on miss scanned, accused them of using migrants as a form of hybrid warfare. a 1000 are strand isn't the polish television border and freezing temperatures. i stop fast and reports leaning on to home at the gates of europe exhausted, cold and at the mercy of border guard dilution. stay tv shows thousands of asylum seekers and migrant strapped at the border. now moving even closer to poland and closer to a 10 stand off with border troops, bell russian leader, alexander lucas shanker, says he's working to return migrants to their homes and will retaliate against more sanctions. on the other side of the border, the human toll of this crisis got a name and a face in a small village of the minority muslim thought

a community in poland. a funeral was held for 19 year old mother and her son, a syrian from the city of homes who drowned in the river after crossing the border . a friend to survive said bella, russian troops pushed him into the water. his last rites held by a people who never knew him in the land, he wanted to cross through and then on to a better life. off model, her son got caught in the middle of the twin, a human tragedy, and a geo political power play stuck in between a country given him false hope about easy access to europe and the other. refusing to let him in. and 19 year old, who probably never heard about the political stand off between the bellows and moscow on one side. and the european union on the other put about us would themselves were given refuge in poland some 600 years ago. the crisis at the border is painful to witness. the good the looks good, but look at it, the human tragedy. i'm sitting here in the mosque and my warm coat. i can always

have hot tea. what about them if i can't sleep at night, when i think about it, should it to stop people from traveling to men's. e. u foreign ministers are suggesting to temporarily make men's airport and no fly zone. countries like iraq and turkey have already been banning people from flying to battle. and some airlines have stopped flying altogether. but this still hasn't stop people from trying to make the trip. that is increasingly taking life like dose of delia and hallett to young kurdish men from iraq who die from illnesses trying to reach europe for their families. there will at least be a funeral dec homes, one, how to model her son. family members can only watch the ceremony on a phone look smith that she has little nice. there's a muslim symmetry here, so it's the right thing to do. hopefully the family will come one day looking for the grave and local people will show them the way home on on life caught short on

a journey driven by hope and determination. a determination that won't stop others trying to complete the journey that are not good enough. we'll get an update from stephanie johnson could sneak up there the polar side of the border with beller. ruth, as you're saying stuff, the migrants are caught in this political standoff in europe. how desperate is the situation for them? well, as you can imagine, they had a very difficult night again. and now they had literally stuck between the 2 board of tropes. sir baller was or one side, the polish on the other, their camping out on, at asphalt, in their tense, if they're lucky enough, with hardly any food. and it's really cold. temperatures here at night are around 0 and they don't have much to keep themselves warm. that's the situation on the board, or we saw a video last night coming out of bella roshan,

a soldiers troops basically pushing people towards the fans again to force them to cross the border. there were screams, it was a horrific situation. and what's also been happening is, is that the polish border troops have been speaking out through loud speakers to dirt or refugees. but mostly to the bellow, russian troops in russian. convincing them to lead the migrants go, saying that they have to give them a chance. and can they still sleep at night? oh, doing what they're been doing to the refugees and migrants. and this is all part of a propaganda war. because on the other side of the bellows, sions gave the message to the migrants and asylum seekers saying that they could easily travel to germany. and that's why thousands of them march towards this border cross employed, which is normally a very busy border crossing between bellows and poland and is now turned in this into this very large refugee camp. and step in the

e. u is irv stepping up sanctions on beller roofs as that row intensify. so where do things stand on the diplomatic front right now. well yes, there are more sanctions imposed on baller was but if what we seen in the past year or so, more sanctions didn't really mean much or change in policy from merge these. i'd of alexander lucas shanker. i, what is actually significant to note is that there have been phone calls again. joseph morales, the representative of the you for foreign affairs, had a long phone call with alex on the luca and yesterday. i'm glad merkle had a reportedly a 50 minute phone call, with the disputed, so bellow russian leader who was sent to her. he was accused of august rating his re election in 2020, and also the consequences of human rights violations. he was accused of by

arresting and beating a protester. he was basically banned from talking by european leaders. and now they need him again. so they're talking to him and he's sort of putting himself in a position that he is at the diplomatic partner again. and that's of course, significant to note, and that's the same for vladimir putin because you asked us know, also calling in to help of moscow to, to do something about is to stop this migrant crisis. okay, thank you so much stuff. arson reporting from the poland, belarus border still ahead on al jazeera chillies president faces an impeachment, hearing accused the fusing, his political power to boost his business interests. and american journalist and prisons and me and mar, accused. the spreading false information has been free. ah

they're supposed to discuss the fastest way of bringing about a ceasefire because the concern is if that rebels, rich addis ababa and they've been fighting to do so. i'm not making any sick a little bit. then these walk down into a civil war, something that would not all go well for a t of bias, 110000000 pip on not just them, but then tire horn of africa. and if you have is a key country in this region, has taken part in peacekeeping operations and also piece making initiatives across the region and with its population. many of the neighboring countries are fitting an influx of refugees and has the oldest shuttle diplomacy. we've been seeing in the main, at fault right now i've been led by the african union and the united states. and they say these and i didn't need for sci fi. united states has also been issuing

tribal advisers. it said sentence. this is probably the 3rd time in about 2 weeks that they are giving these advisory the 1st one was we advise you to leave. the 2nd one was you must leave and now they're saying there would be no ever question. so you have to leave, what ever happens you have to live with your peer, which of course is not sending. and any comfort to that other people who are still kids. so a lot of concern for you t o p, and that is what all these shuttle diplomacy is about. thank you so much for how much detail reported him at his appa. donald trump former political advisors, the ban and has appeared in court hours after surrendering to the f, b i and washington d. c. he's facing contempt charges for refusing to cooperate with a congressional investigation. and to the attack on the u. s. capital in january particle, hey, reports from washington, dc swarmed by cameras, stephen ben and turned himself in to the f. b i. the former advisor to donald trump

remained defiant. i want you guys to stay focused on masters. remember signal not noise. this is all noise. this is all about january the storming of us capital in attempt to stop joe biden from becoming president on his radio show. the day before. bannon had this warning. all hell is going to break loose tomorrow. so now the congressional committee investigating the insurrection wants to know what he knew and what he may have done in the lead. up to that day, he ignored their subpoena for his testimony and his records claiming executive privilege which legal experts say is unlikely to stand up. the united states supreme court in 234 years is never sustained, an executive privilege. with regard to communications from someone who was a private citizen, not an officer, even with regard to officials who serve in the white house. the committee is hoping these charges will make other trump allies think twice before ignoring their

request. as for ben and 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. particle haine, al jazeera washington, an american journalist in prisons and me and mar for nearly 6 months is about to be reunited with his family. danny fence to arrive in cats are on monday would form a us diplomat, bill richardson who help negotiate his release according to me and mar sentence fenster to 11 years of hard labor just days before he was freed. toni chang is following the story from bangkok, american journalist, any fence to is now on his way back home after being released from jail in ma, something of a surprise after being handed an 11 year sentence last week. but it's unlikely this signifies

a serious change in attitude from the military gentle they have targeted june the since the coo in february, and more than 15 still remain in detention. it's also unlikely to be good news for most of the high profile foreign detainees. shannon turnbo and i could demick and key get on mc advisor to suit. she has been detained now the 10 months last week, he was denied access to counselor officials and he probably won't even be allowed to have a burma translator at his upcoming trial. so it be most general, so this, this move would buy them some international credit. it's unlikely to go very far closing arguments in the trial of me and mars deposed liter incense. did she are due to be heard in the coming hours? she was arrested after being ousted in a military coup in february, and santucci is charged with inciting public unrest if found guilty. she faces decades in prison. the qu sparked mass uprising and

a brutal crack down on the sun. hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced and millions are in need of urgent food and medical supply. an influential council of elders from the libyan city of missouri rather has called for a boycott of elections next month. that comes a day after the sun, a former leader, mama gadhafi register to run for president in tripoli. people protested saying they won't take part in a vote. that includes safe and slum gadhafi. he's wanted by the international criminal court for crimes against humanity relating to an uprising in 2011 against his father's 40 year rule. in sudan authorities have released al jazeera her to him bureau chief from jail, and was selling me a best she was taken into custody overnight. on saturday, after security forces rated his home, al jazeera condemned the actions of the military. the u. s. is announced. new sanctions against government officials in the corolla following what it calls sham

of the senate will vote out the president. 4 months before the end of his term. many chileans are more worried about stability than pinioned as innocence. the mean that from a symbolic point of view, asking a president who can't pass on the presidential says he's accessories horrible. this country is very attached to symbols like the flag, the presidential fashion and legality. perhaps, but even pinioned us once, the ardent supporters have turned their backs on and indians, people who hated him continue to have him those that voted against him. and those that voted for him, feel betrayed. because ben year ended ended up doing exactly what he campaign against, whether for political or ethical reasons or both super dam pineda faces. a harsh battle in the senate alone and isolated to see and human al jazeera santiago.
