7:07 pm
a wave of strike actions across many different areas of the economy. nurses will go out on strike for the 1st time ever. next week we're talking about ambulance staff as well. we're talking about baggage handlers at airports railway because of also been out on strike for most of this year. intermittently. there is a cost of living crisis here in the u. k. that is really putting the squeeze on hard working people on the simply not happy to. they're not prepared to put up with it anymore. i'll just say we're full brennan, reporting live from london pullman. thanks cindy. china as president cheese in ping as arrived in saudi arabia for a 3 day visit. he was welcome to re up by king solomon who wants to deepen relations. china is the golf, nation's largest trading partner, up with goods worth $87300000000.00 exchange last year. or saudi arabia is also china's biggest oil supplier. it's cent lily. $44000000000.00 in crude. there in 2021. the oil market is expected to dominate the talks. it comes as

believe they view chinese partners as important part of that equation. at the same time president, she is facing some domestic descent and protest at home and doing this trip to the middle east really allows him to act as a statement to be part of a red carpet roll out in saudi arabia and actually return. i believe the plan is to return to beijing with a certain degree of political and diplomatic cache. so i see this trip as is quite important for both saudi arabia and china. i think that saudi officials are engaged in a very delicate balancing act between global partnerships. you have us on one side and european partners. and on the other hand, you have other partners like china and ultimately saudi arabia is going to have to be very careful about how they approach this balancing act. so they don't create the perception that they are leaving their partnerships with the us. behind russia,
