welcome to newsday. i'm karishma vaswani, reporting live from bali where the 620 summit is officially getting underway. world leaders from the top 20 economies are attending. high on the agenda, the energy crisis, food security and the ongoing war in ukraine. presidentjoe biden shook hands with xi jinping for the first time since taking office, and played down fears of a confrontation with china. i absolutely believe there will

not be a new cold war. i have met many times with xi jinping and we were candid and clear it with one another across the board. we have a special report on indonesia's energy dilemma. it's one of the biggest coal producers in the world, but can it build a cleaner future and at what cost? we'll have all that from bali injust a moment. also in the news: 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 founder jeff bezos, pledges to give away most of his wealth. hello and welcome to the programme from here in bali, where the annual 620 summit is under way.

we can show you live pictures of some of the arrivals of some of some of the arrivals of some of the leaders in fact as they are making their way to the meetings where they will have so much to discuss today. you can see that a grand entrance leaders will where leaders will be gathering. the first meeting where leaders will be gather it . the first meeting f where leaders will be gather it to 'he first meeting f where leaders will be gather it to be first meeting 2 where leaders will be gather it to be a rst meeting 2 where leaders will be gather it to be a discussion] 2 expect it to be a discussion about the food security, the biggest challenge possibly facing the world today when it comes to ensuring that people do have access to affordable food but at the same food prices but at the same time this is also an opportunity for these leaders to meet face to face, many of them getting a chance to do so the we first m 7 �* relative 7 7 �*relative isolation 7 7 �*relative isolation v�*the two men who have pandemic. two men who have already met face—to—face on the eve of the summit, joe biden and xijinping. they talked

about a range of issues, everything from taiwan to the use of nuclear weapons. we begin our coverage with this report from our north america editor sarah smith. 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. one of the other big themes that will be discussed at the 620 over the next couple of days will be the issue of climate change and particularly indonesia as the host of the 620 is very concerned about this. it has seen the effects on its own country in terms of rising sea waters, rising temperatures. i wanted take you back to those life is, as leaders are coming in to have these discussions here at the 620 and we have seen south africa come in. similar concerns over there as well particular when it comes to climate financing in terms of how much developing economies like south africa and indonesia

can expect in terms of assistance from developed nations when it comes to making the transition from using coal to more renewable energy and thatis to more renewable energy and that is something that my colleague jonathan head that is something that my colleaguejonathan head the bbc�*s southeast asia correspondent has been looking into. 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 in 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.

obviously a really important issue that people will be discussing here at the 620 summit. iwant discussing here at the 620 summit. i want to take you back to those images of leaders arriving to sit down for their very first working meeting today which is expected to be a meeting about food security. it has been a key concern for countries he i was talking to the indonesian presidentjoko widodo about ten days ago ahead of the 620 summit and in an interview he explained how he has crisscrossed the globe, meeting with the leaders of ukraine and russia to try to convince them to come to some sort of resolution to the conflict in order to help grain exports resume. and it is something of course that war in ukraine, it really is the backdrop for this entire summit and for more on what we can

expect at the 620, let's bring in now the former australian prime minister kevin rudd. it's great to get you on the programme, mr rudd endo narwee will be talking about china and the us in a moment but first they want to get your thoughts on a few of the reports we are getting, that a us official has been speaking to reuters saying that the 620 will issue an end of summit statement in which most members will strongly condemn russia. what you think of that? do you think that is likely? of that? do you think that is likel ? ~ ., . ~ ., likely? well, going back to the oriuins likely? well, going back to the ori . ins of likely? well, going back to the origins of the _ likely? well, going back to the origins of the 620 _ likely? well, going back to the origins of the 620 itself, - likely? well, going back to the origins of the 620 itself, of. origins of the 620 itself, of which i was the co—founder in 2008-09, the which i was the co—founder in 2008—09, the useful thing about the meeting in indonesia is that it brings together heads of government, who have contrasting views. on this

question of russia's invasion of ukraine, on the substance of what you've just said, i'd imagine that basically the 67 plus will issue a combined statement on its position of total opposition to russia's continued brutal invasion of ukraine, but there will be some of course distancing from that. china will not sign onto such a statement and of course indonesia itself plus india may have a different view as well. but this is parfor the have a different view as well. but this is par for the course at summits of this nature. i think sergei lavrov will be surprised by the level of solidarity across much of the democratic world over what his country has just done in ukraine. country has “ust done in ukraine.— country has “ust done in ukraine. , ., ukraine. absolutely, and as you oint out ukraine. absolutely, and as you point out the — ukraine. absolutely, and as you point out the war— ukraine. absolutely, and as you point out the war in _ ukraine. absolutely, and as you point out the war in ukraine - point out the war in ukraine really dominating the agenda stopping one of the key issues that countries will be discussing today is food

security and how the blockade of grain exports from that region really affect global food prices. do you see any sort of concrete action coming from this meeting orjust meaningful rhetoric rather than actual action that they can put in place? i actual action that they can put in lace? ~ ., , in place? i think as we approach _ in place? i think as we approach the - in place? i think as we l approach the geopolitics in place? i think as we - approach the geopolitics of this 620 summit, there are two big questions on the agenda. one is what we have just discussed which is russia ukraine and its impact on global stability, ukraine and its impact on globalstability, plus global stability, plus commodity prices, globalstability, plus commodity prices, oil, gas, and of course agriculture. the second big one, though, is the stabilisation of us—china relations and the those countries of the indo—pacific, thatis countries of the indo—pacific, that is a larger question. the 620 will be dealing with both. as for any breakthrough on the grain question, the success of that i think will hinge on frankly turkey's continuing diplomacy, as an intermediary in terms of arrangements in the

black sea, in order to imitate continued grain exports, russia's episodic hostility for the continuation. in russia's episodic hostility for the continuation.— the continuation. in terms of that relationship, _ the continuation. in terms of that relationship, that - the continuation. in terms of l that relationship, that meeting between president biden and xi jinping, did you make of that? 6enuinely encouraging or simply a photo opportunity? fix, genuinely encouraging or simply a photo opportunity?— a photo opportunity? a follow these questions _ a photo opportunity? a follow these questions carefully - a photo opportunity? a follow these questions carefully and | these questions carefully and if look carefully at both the chinese and the american readouts, official readouts from the meeting, from the summit, it is on balance a step in the right direction, by which a mean a step in the direction of some form of stabilisation of the us—china relationship which over the last several years, to be frank, has been in freefall. so i think that is to be recognised and when a look specifically at the mechanisms which the chinese read outputs

forward for how this could be done, new language about necessary protections for the bilateral relationship, what i would broadly interpreted as guardrails. and a new security safety net. in other words the chinese system in myjudgement is groping towards some form of stabilisation mechanism with washington. i think the united states is seeking to do the same and so the machinery for that will be officials soon heading to beijing to work on the detail. heading to bei'ing to work on the detail.— heading to bei'ing to work on the tetatt— the detail. just to say that as we have been _ the detail. just to say that as we have been talking - the detail. just to say that as we have been talking we - the detail. just to say that as we have been talking we can| the detail. just to say that as - we have been talking we can see there the pictures of the gay lover of attending arriving at the 620 summit and will be shaking joko widodo's the indonesian leader's hand very shortly. it has been hugely contentious, hasn't it, russia

and its position at the 620 and they wonder what you think, whether in that conversation between president xijinping and president biden, this obviously did come up. how much influence are you expecting china to exert on russia post that discussion withjoe biden? as you are right to say, as lavrov walks his way into this 620 summit, he will not be a welcome guest by and large. even by those countries which have had a closer relationship with moscow, and the reason for it is that the invasion of ukraine is no ordinary international event, it is a fundamental violation of the un charter by a permanent member of the security council no less. in terms of the xi jinping and biden conversation, a notice carefully again from the chinese read out that this was discussed extensively, i think chinese language on the russian invasion of ukraine shows evidence in myjudgement of continued distancing from the russian position and while

resident xijinping did not, in their readout re—articulate china's opposition to any future use of nuclear weapons by the russians in ukraine, the foreign minister reiterated the earlier chinese position in total hostility to the use of nuclear weapons in eurasia and that means ukraine. so it was discussed. will china continue to act? in myjudgement, yes because the foreign policy damage to itself by not acting is in fact severe for its long—term strategic relationship not just long—term strategic relationship notjust with us but with europe and the world. as we have been talking, we are seeing the indian prime minister narendra modi greeting the indonesian leaderjoko widodo, two very large economies becoming increasingly important on the global stage, but for now, that is it from me

in bali. let's go back to the studio in singapore. you're watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme... the bbc celebrates the 100th anniversary of its first official radio broadcast. benazir bhutto has claimed victory in pakistan's general election and she's asked pakistan's president to name her as prime minister. jackson�*s been released on bail of $3 million after turning himself in to police in santa barbara. it was the biggest demonstration so far of the first growing european antinuclear movement. the south african government i has announced that it's opening the country's remaining whites—only beaches i to people of all races.

this will lead to a black majority government in this country and the destruction of the white civilisation. part of the centuries—old windsor castle, one of the queen's residences, has been consumed by fire for much of a day. 150 firemen have been battling the blaze, which has caused millions of pounds worth of damage. this is newday on the bbc. i'm monica miler in singapore. leaders from the world's top 20 economies are gathering in bali for this year's 6—20 summit. high on the agenda, the energy crisis and the ongoing war in ukraine. president biden has played down fears of a new cold war with china after holding his first talks since being elected with xijinping. the president of ukraine has

been to the southern city of kherson just days after russian troops withdrew from the city. volodomyr zelensky addressed soldiers in the main square saying ukraine is moving, step—by—step, towards liberating all occupied territories. losing kherson is a major strategic blow for russia, though moscow insists it remains russian territory. moving forward, we are ready for peace but our piece 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. jeff bezos, the billionaire founder of amazon, has been criticised for not giving more of his money to charity. now in an interview for cnn he's announced he's going to give a majority of his fortune away. but he says he's finding it difficult to choose where the money should go. our north america technology reporter james clayton has more.

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'll 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. jeff 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. our correspondent david sillito reports. hello. 2lo calling, 2lo calling. november the 1ath, 1922, and the beginning of the bbc. 2lo 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. overto 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. let's go back now to karishma vaswani in bali, where the 620 summit is under way. yes, is under way. monica, just listening in to yes, monica, just listening in to that report, it does take a fair amount to that report, it does take a fairamount of to that report, it does take a fair amount of physical fitness to read bulletins, notjust in the studio but out here on the scene, in bali. it is raining now, the clouds have open and the leaders are gathering at that summit venue to discuss some of the key issues facing the global economy today. i want to show you some of the scenes at the summit, it is of course being held on the indonesian island of bali. we are looking at some of the traditional decorations that you see on these islands, a way

to herald in good luck, often something you see during other festivals here in bali at times to bringing the good fortune and a good, harmonious opportunity for people to sit down and have good discussions. and that is certainly the ambition, the intention of the hosts indonesia at this summit. the 620 has been a real moment of bright for indonesia, it is indonesia's coming out party, if you will, an opportunity to this 5 this country's j showcase this country's economic ambitions as well, and as these world leaders start arriving here, joko widodo, the president will have a chance to discuss some of the issues he wants to, face—to—face, and as we have been talking, the mexican leader has arrived as well at the 620, so much to discuss and so much to get through with the working meeting under way digitally focused on food security, but

for now, for me and the team in bali, that's it. do stay with bbc news for the rest of the days news. hello there. on 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. so, first thing in the morning, the rain heaviest perhaps across parts of dorset,

moving up through hampshire. then that's going to drift its way steadily northwards through the east wales, into the midlands, to north—west england, and eventually, it'll push its weight steadily north and east. there will be quite a clearance behind, some sunshine and a scattering of sharp, blustery showers in the far south—west. the winds will be a feature, but the strongest gusts still with that rain, so gusts in excess of 55 mph plus in the northern isles as that rain pushes its way steadily northwards. 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. on 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.
