welcome to newsday. i'm karishma vaswani, reporting live from bali, where the 620 summit is officially getting under way. world leaders from the top 20 economies are attending. presidentjoe biden shook hands with xijinping for the first time since taking office, and played down fears of a confrontation with china. also coming up: a special report on indonesia's energy dilemma. i absolutely believe there need not be a new cold war. i've met many times with xijinping, and we were candid and clear with one another across the board.

also coming up: a special report on indonesia's energy dilemma. it's one of the biggest coal producers in the world. we ask if it can build a cleaner future and at what cost. ukraine's president zelensky visits the recaptured city of kherson, days after the russian withdrawal. and one of the world's richest men, the amazon founderjeff bezos, pledges to give away most of his wealth. this is bbc news. it's newsday. hello and welcome to the programme from here in bali, where the annual 620 summit is about to get under way. the world's largest economies will be coordinating policies to promote stability and growth. the focus will be about the

global economy. for many of the countries attending, it will be the first time they will have a chance to meet face—to—face. attention has been focused on that crucial meeting between the chinese leader and the us president. even before the summit officially opened, us presidentjoe biden and china's xijinping took full advantage of that, holding more than three hours of talks on issues ranging from the use of nuclear weapons to the status of taiwan. my my colleague, sarah smith, has more. president biden looks eager to meet again with a man he always says he knows well. this is his first face—to—face with president xi as leaders of their nations, but they spent many hours together when they were both vice presidents — hence the relaxed body language and maybe even a cooperative mood, despite relations between their countries being at their worst for decades. there is much to discuss, from economy, trade and climate change, to human rights, the war in ukraine and of course taiwan.

no wonder the meeting lasted for over three hours. as leaders of our two nations, we share responsibility in my view to show that china and the united states can manage our differences, prevent competition from becoming anything anywhere near conflict. they agreed, nuclear weapons must not be used or even threatened by russia in ukraine. the biggest problem is taiwan. president xi called it the first red line america must not cross. the recent visit by the senior us politician nancy pelosi to the democratic self—governing island enraged beijing. china responded with military exercises around the island. president biden today warned his chinese counterpart against trying to change the island's status, but also told him the us has not changed its policy which acknowledges taiwan is part of china. after today's meeting, he said he does not think there will be an imminent attempt to invade taiwan.

we're going to compete vigorously, but i'm not looking for conflict, i'm looking to manage this competition responsibly. and i want to make sure, make sure that every country abides by the international rules of the road. i absolutely believe there need not be a new cold war. there was never an expectation of any binding deals coming out of today's meeting. instead, it was an attempt to lower the temperature, with each country setting out what it will not tolerate from the other in the hope of preventing disagreement turning into conflict and to try to avoid a new cold war. sarah smith, bbc news. another big theme at this year's 620 summit will be the issue of climate change. indonesia is expected to use its position as host of this year's 620 summit to announce a deal to cut its dependence on coal.

with a population of 275 million people, indonesia is seen as a critical player in fighting climate change. it needs the energy transmission to go smoothly and to be affordable. jonathan head reports. blessed with abundant natural beauty, bali has been an economic success story, the glittering jewel in the crown of indonesia's tourist industry. but there cannot be growth without power, which is why this chinese—funded, coal—fired power station was opened seven years ago. this fisherman wishes it hadn't been. people living around here say pollution has hurt their livelihoods. "what we want is a power plant that uses more environmentally—friendly fuel," he says. so, this power station upsets the local community, it pours carbon into the atmosphere and it is — let's face it — an eyesore here on the

so—called island of the gods. but there is a reason they built it. 15 years ago, when it was planned, bali and many other parts of indonesia were chronically short of power, and for an economy like this, dependent on tourism, that was worrying. so, the question now is — can indonesia now meet the enormous needs of its 275 million people and, at the same time, wean itself off the world's dirtiest fuel? it's especially tough for indonesia because it has so much of the stuff. it's one of the world's biggest coal producers, making this the cheapest way to give its people electricity. the government now says it's willing to start moving this country over to renewable energy. but it won't happen quickly. in fact, coal consumption will keep rising here for several more years. we're trying hard to balance this one. i don't think that we can just reduce our profile while our economy's still like this, so we have a timeline.

but please respect also, to the interest of indonesia. otherwise, not prosperity here, only poverty. do you want to see more and more poverty in indonesia? of course not. this is an economyjust starting to rebuild from the ruinous impact of covid. for most indonesians, closing power stations to help the climate isn't a priority — and it will be expensive. indonesia has only built up their coal generation capacity the past 10—15 years and the fleet is relatively young, so the assets still have a lot of value to them. this is where it becomes very crucial for developed countries to be able to support indonesia, provide financing at a lower capital cost, to allow these coal assets to be brought out and to be retired sooner. just how much help indonesia gets to fund a more ambitious energy transition will be decided in tough and complex negotiations which might continue for years. jonathan head, bbc news, bali.

i want to take you to some live pictures to show you the 620 solvent in bali —— 620 summit. it's a jam—packed schedule with lots to discuss. climate change of course and that energy transition, a key focus of the meetings. but leaders will also be looking to discuss rising cost of food and fuel as well as the war in ukraine, and of course that relationship between the us and china that has been so pivotal in the backdrop of all of this. it was something that many leaders have privately told me that they were very concerned about, particularly as the two men sat down for that discussion ahead

of the summit on monday. a little earlier, i spoke with james steinberg, who explained why he felt the meeting was a relative success. the why he felt the meeting was a relative success.— relative success. the most important _ relative success. the most important take _ relative success. the most important take away - relative success. the most important take away is - relative success. the most| important take away is that both leaders demonstrated that they recognised that the course we are all on is very dangerous and if both sides have responsibility for managing this, despite our differences, and i think that recognition by both sides is an important inflection point of the direction of our relationships. mr steinberg, i rememberwhen mr steinberg, i remember when you mr steinberg, i rememberwhen you were in the 0bama administration. you coined a phrase strategic reassurance to describe us—china relations. what do you mean like that and do you think we are seeing that today? do you think we are seeing that toda ? ~ . ., , ., today? what i meant is that each side — today? what i meant is that each side needed _ today? what i meant is that each side needed to - today? what i meant is that - each side needed to demonstrate that while they had very important principles that they wanted to defend, that the goal was not to damage or harm the other. but simply to try to

protect their own interests. if we both signalled to each other as president biden and president xi did very clearly, their goal is to recognise we have our differences but to manage those differences. 0ur manage those differences. our goal is not to harm each other, but simply to protect our own foreign interests, and that's a better way for managing these. i think there's an element of the outside signalling that we have to work for each other. —— work with each other. we recognise their responsibility not just recognise their responsibility notjust in each other, but to the world at large, to handle these differences in a worried that does not change it —— in a way that doesn't turn into conflict. . . , way that doesn't turn into conflict-— conflict. that was james steinberg. _ conflict. that was james steinberg. from - conflict. that was james steinberg. from what i conflict. that was james | steinberg. from what we conflict. that was james - steinberg. from what we can expect... let's bring injames crabtree, executive director of the institute of international strategic studies, who's in singapore. james, great to have you back on the programme. we've been

talking about some of the major themes that are going to be discussed at the 620 over the next couple of days. what do you think will be a success for leaders attending? 50. you think will be a success for leaders attending?— you think will be a success for leaders attending? so, the 620 is meant to _ leaders attending? so, the 620 is meant to be _ leaders attending? so, the 620 is meant to be a _ leaders attending? so, the 620 is meant to be a multilateral i is meant to be a multilateral body which comes together to solve problems collectively. it definitely won't do that. the us and china and russia can't agree with one another, so you have a body that is now much less than the sum of its parts, but the sum of its parts do matter. the fact that prime minister anthony albanese. .. these are not insignificant things. some of the leaders will talk to one another and maybe get tiny bits of progress. maybe get tiny bits of magma-— maybe get tiny bits of progress. maybe get tiny bits of ”roress. . ., i” progress. yeah, as you point out, progress. yeah, as you point out. the _ progress. yeah, as you point out, the risk _ progress. yeah, as you point out, the risk of _ progress. yeah, as you point out, the risk of nothing - out, the risk of nothing meaningful really being achieved here is it so bad when

you put into context that this is an opportunity for leaders to sit down face—to—face, because as president xi jinping said, nothing really beats a face—to—face meeting. but one person who won't be here face—to—face is the russian president vladimir putin. he sent sergey lavrov instead. how do you expect that interaction between russia and other countries to play out? i don't think there _ countries to play out? i don't think there will _ countries to play out? i don't think there will be _ countries to play out? i don't think there will be any - think there will be any interaction. love rob isn't likely to meet any of the countries —— lavrov. sir lavrov will meet many other countries. i think when you go back to february, people worried that this 620 would collapse and there would not be a meeting because of the just agreement. the fact that it's happening, that they won't have a family photograph, but the thing will

happen, that's what i think people mean when they say that given it could be a disaster. james, of course all of this happening against a pretty difficult global economic background with everyone sort of agreeing the next 18 months orso of agreeing the next 18 months or so are going to be difficult for everybody involved. any real issues or real momentum on thoseissues real issues or real momentum on those issues that you're expecting? those issues that you're “petting?— those issues that you're exectina? ., ., �* ~' expecting? no, i don't think so. if expecting? no, i don't think s0- if you— expecting? no, i don't think so. if you remember, - expecting? no, i don't think so. if you remember, this . expecting? no, i don't think so. if you remember, this is the body that came together in 2008 and 2009 and was the focal point of getting the world out of the global financial crisis. now we have complex challenges, so inflation, food injured security, the claimant transition — a whole host of issues. but because the united

states and china and russia are unable to cooperate with one another, any progress on those issues will be incremental at best. , ., , . issues will be incremental at best. , . , best. james, executive director at the international _ best. james, executive director at the international strategic i at the international strategic studies in singapore, thanks so much forjoining us. for now, that's it for me here in bali. i will be back with you shortly to give you the latest details on who is attending the 620 and what the main issues are. we'll talk more about climate change as well as the global economy, but for the rest of the day's news, let's head to singapore and join monica miller. thank you very much, karishma vaswani. you're watching newsday. still to come — the - the bbc — the bbc celebrates the 100th first

benazir bhutto has claimed victory in pakistan's general election and she's asked pakistan's president it was the biggest demonstration so far country and the destruction of the white civilisation. part of the centuries—old windsor castle, one 150 firemen have been battling the blaze, which has caused millions of pounds worth of damage.

this is newsday on the bbc. i'm monica miller in singapore. 0ur headlines... leaders from the world's top 20 economies are gathering for this year �*s 620 summit. president biden has played down fears of a new cold war with china after holding his first big talks since being elected president with xi jinping. the president of ukraine has been to the southern city of kherson, just days after russian troops withdrew from the city.

he says ukraine is moving, step—by—step, towards liberating all occupied territories. we are going forward, we are ready for peace, but our peace for our country is all our country, all our territory. we respect the law and respect sovereignty of all the countries, but now we are speaking about our country. let's take a look at some other stories. a video apparently showing the brutal killing with a sledgehammer of a russian man, pictured here, accused of deserting the wagner mercenary group is continuing to cause controversy. an opposition youth group in russia has called for the investigation of wagner founder and key putin ally yevgeny prigozhin, saying he should be held accountable for the killing. kurdish groups in turkey and syria have denied being behind a bomb attack that killed six people in istanbul on sunday. two organisations, the pkk and the sdf, said they didn't play any role

in the explosion, which happened on a busy shopping street. the turkish authorities say kurdish militants were to blame. britain's stock market has lost its position as europe's most—valued, with france taking the top spot, according the new data. the uk will pay france £8 million more a year under a revised deal to try to stop people crossing the english channel in small boats. the money will pay for increased surveillance of french beaches, while uk police officers will also be able to observe patrols within france. jeff bezos has been politcised to be —— for not giving more money to charity. in an interview, he said he's going to give most of it away, but is finding it difficult to figure out where to go. jeff bezos is one of the richest people in the world.

he's worth more than £100 billion. and yet, mr bezos has been criticised for his lack of charitable focus. his detractors say he's more interested in burning his money on going to space, which he did last year, then saving the planet that he actually lives on. famed for turning his idea for an online book store into a tech giant, some have argued that the amazon founder has so much money, he could buy much of the amazon rainforest to protect it. now, his first statement saying he will give away most of his fortune. do you plan to give away the majority of your wealth in your lifetime? yeah, i do, and the hard part is figuring out how to do it in a levered way. it's not easy. building amazon was not easy. it took a lot of hard work, a bunch of very smart team—mates. and i'm finding, and i think lauren's finding the same thing, that philanthropy is very similar — it's not easy, it's really hard. mr bezos has a very strange, very big tech problem, in that he has so much money, he doesn't quite know what to do with it. he says he wants to focus on climate change, homelessness and food insecurity,

and with frankly mind—boggling wealth, he could have a huge impact. he said he'll give $100 million to dolly parton�*s charity, which focuses in part on child literacy. but that could be the tip of the iceberg. some of the poorest, their toilet may lookl like this, a pit latrine. bill gates has given away a fortune to charitable pursuits. just bezos could afford even larger donations. however, like many other silicon valley billionaires, he's been criticised for paying relatively little tax on his huge fortune. and withjeff bezos still an influentialfigure in amazon, some say he should be doing more to make the company he derives his money from greener, too. james clayton, bbc news, california. the bbc is celebrating the 100th anniversary of its first official bbc broadcast — a news bulletin from london. it included a court report

from the old bailey, details of disruption caused by fog in the capital, and the billiards scores. 0ur correspondent david sillito reports. hello. 2l0 calling, 2l0 calling. november the 1ath, 1922, and the beginning of the bbc. 2l0 was the call sign of the bbc station in london. and 100 years on, the six o'clock radio news has been marking how it all began. this bulletin marks the moment 100 years ago that the bbc began broadcasting. back in 1922, the news reader at 6pm was arthur burrows. arthur burrows at this point is the first voice of the bbc. he's almost had the idea of broadcasting a few years earlier as well, and within a month, he'll be director of programmes at the bbc and one of our first children's presenters. yes, arthur was also uncle arthur, children's entertainer. it wasn't a large organisation on day one. how many staff at the

beginning, in november1922? november 1922, the bbc has a staff of zero. there are no employees... there are no official staff? there are no official staff. arthur burrows does that first broadcast essentially in his spare time. was itjust london in november 1922? no, london was day one. and then day two was birmingham and manchester, and that's where you get musical concerts, children's programmes come in there, the general election results as well, all mixed in together. and the bbc has only now been discovering how many of its pioneering programmes came from manchester and birmingham. 0verto you, birmingham. it's adding details to its online radio times history about satire, concerts. and this is puppy from the children's programme from glasgow. but it began with the news and it was nerve—racking. arthur burrows later wrote he could think of no more exacting a test of physical fitness than the reading of a news bulletin. david sillito, bbc news.

can you cause a rubik —— solve a rubik �*s cube? a new record has been set by solving the puzzle 6931 times in 2a hours. the average speed for cubist 12 second, but he can do and nearly half the time. here's 6eorge scully earlier. wash and marble. —— watch and marble. let's go back now to karishma vaswani in bali, where the 620 summit is about to get under way. i know that's exactly what you're working on. absolutely. it is far more complex perhaps than a rubik �*s cube, perhaps not as well. so much to discuss here at the

g20, much to discuss here at the 620, and we've seen leaders arriving at the summit ahead of arriving at the summit ahead of a lot of discussions. the first working summit is going to be about food security, and as we've been talking about, a key theme here at the 620. a lot of countries are trying to manage that difficult challenge of ensuring that food prices remain low for their populations. very concerned about this. he talked about how he is crisscrossed the globe meeting with the president of ukraine and russia to try to get them to agree to ensure that the supply of grain out of the area comes through in a stable fashion. that blockade has led to prices of other commodities going up. all of

this at a time when inflation is becoming more and more difficult to manage. it's something that's really on the top of minds of a lot of the leaders here who are looking at the next 18 months or so and trying to figure out how they're going to ensure that prices remain stable for their economies. the other big issue has been that discussion between the us and china that took place on the eve of the g20. took place on the eve of the 620. it's something that a lot of leaders in this part of the world really were very concerned about when that discussion was highly anticipated, but bile accounts, __ by anticipated, but bile accounts, —— by all accounts, that seems to have gone relatively well. with the hard work really begins now. as james was saying, nothing really meaningful in terms of what would be achieved here, but the fact that people are sitting

down and actually getting a chance to talk face—to—face is what's really important. that's it from me. thanks so much for watching. hello there. 0n the whole, it was a relatively quiet start to our working week, but a change is on the way, and you can see that as we close out the day in cornwall on monday with this blanket of cloud closing the curtains across the south—west and, yes, there's a weather front that's bringing some wet and windy weather. you can see the extent of the cloud on the satellite picture, actually, and it's this frontal system tied into an area of low pressure which will continue to move further north and east. so, for the next few hours, be prepared for some heavy rain, but more importantly, some gale force gusts of winds — gusts in excess of 50—60 miles an hour, as that rain continues to push its way steadily north and east.

and a scattering of sharp, blustery showers in the far south—west. the winds will be a feature, but the strongest gusts temperatures, 11—14 degrees, about where they should be now for the time of year, but obviously, it'll feel cooler with the cloud, the wind and the rain. so, the rain pushes its way steadily north, we'll see a cluster of showers through wednesday night across west and south—facing coasts, but where we do have some clearer skies, we'll see low single figures, so it could be a chilly start to our wednesday morning. 0n the whole, wednesday

is a chance to get a little bit of a breather in. there will be some showers across the south and the west first thing, slowly improving into the afternoon before the next system moves in, more wet and windy weather still yet to come. a cooler day, top temperatures between 10—13 celsius. now, it looks likely that we'll see another spell of wet and windy weather through the latter stages of wednesday into thursday, before a little ridge of high pressure fills in behind — that's worth bearing in mind. so, all in all, as we close out this week, it looks likely that we will see another unsettled day on thursday, friday, the best of the dry weather, and it's probably a good opportunity to make the most of it. the weekend looks wet and windy once again.

news. i will have news. and all news. will have and all the news. i will have the and all the mainl the headlines and all the main stories— the headlines and all the main stories for— the headlines and all the main stories for you _ the headlines and all the main stories for you at _ the headlines and all the main stories for you at the - of i the hour straight after hardtalk. _ welcome to hardtalk with me, zainab badawi. 6lobal leaders often come together to work for what they hope is the greater good, such as tackling climate change, conflict, and the economic crisis. how far does the world need a new body to put on trial leaders who are accused of widespread and rampant corruption that deprives their citizens of what is rightly theirs?

my guest today is the senior us districtjudge mark wolf, who is trying to establish an international anti—corruption court to bring to justice leaders
