presidentjoe biden shook hands with xijinping for the firs time since taking office, and played down fears of a confrontation with china. i absolutely believe they need not be a new cold war. we have —— | not be a new cold war. we have —— i have met many times with xijinping and we were candid and clear across the board. one of the world's richest men, the amazon founderjeff bezos, pledges to give away most of his wealth. and exactly 100 years ago, the bbc began radio broadcasts in britain. welcome to our viewers on pbs in america

and around the globe. already on the frontline of climate change, somalia is enduring its worst drought in a0 years. and the presence of one of the deadliest islamist extremist groups, al shabab, complicates the distribution of aid. the united nations is warning that half a million children under the age of five are at risk of dying by the middle of next year. somalia urgently needs another billion dollars in humanitarian aid. six weeks ago we brought you andrew harding's first report from the town of baidoa. he's now returned there, to the heart of the crisis, and a warning — you may find some of the images in his report distressing. we're tearing through baidoa. our guard is driving faster than on our last visit. the threat of ambushes by islamist militants is growing here. suddenly, we stumble across a funeral, for a six—year—old boy who starved to death yesterday.

ii more children were buried here this week. but it's one particular family that's drawn us back to a desolate camp on the edge of town. fatouma is heating breakfast for her children — a cup of tea. they will eat late in the day. nice to see you again. we have returned to see how the family is coping. hi, dahir. this was dahir here six weeks ago, mourning his younger brother salat, who died of hunger on the journey into baidoa. today, he's in good spirits. she's feeling hot? but his two sisters are now struggling. they have suspected measles. perhaps pneumonia, too. the illnesses that seem to feast on hunger.

and which lead so often to this. in a nearby hospital, this two—year—old looks like a burn victim. in fact, her body is reacting, painfully, to prolonged starvation. as on our visit last month, the ward here is still full of such cases. does it feel to you like the world is paying attention now to somalia? now we can say that the attention of the international community is on somalia, especially the droughts here. so, you are getting more aid because of that? we are not getting enough, but we hope it will come soon. it's a desperate situation. back at the camp, ii—year—old dahir is heading to school. he's bright, alert. our presence might be part of that but around him — listless children and

a chorus of coughing. the teacher tells us that most of his class struggle to attend or to focus. many here will be stunted for life. across the road a sudden crowd. a mood of near panic as frustrated mothers try to register for new food hand—outs, but there is not enough. it's overwhelming. we are not getting the resources on time with adequate amounts. you're only getting half what you need, is that right? that is exactly the right picture, we are getting half of what we want. later in the day, fatouma hauls water home for her children. dahir here is quick to help out. "i'm getting by," she says, "but my children are not well. "i must work to make sure they survive."

coughing somalia is struggling right now, but it is worth remembering that before this last drought, dahirand his family were doing 0k. they had fields and crops and six cows and some goats. they were middle farmers. suddenly, left destitute, bankrupted, by drought, by climate change. inside their heart, the girls slump. do you worry about yoursisters, dahir? he says yes, he does. what do you worry about? we are straying here towards painful memories of dahir�*s brother. "i just want my sisters to get better." he says it three times. coughing an exhausted fatouma joins her daughters on their blanket. one family in a nation

still overwhelmed by hunger. andrew harding, bbc news, somalia. the 620 summit is under way in bali and leaders of the world's largest economies will be making plans for the global economy. 0ur correspondent karishma vaswani is there. yes, indeed. it is a jampacked day today at the 620 summit, which has officially gotten under way. they want to take you to some live pictures of the indonesian president, joko widodo, who hasjust opened the indonesian president, joko widodo, who has just opened the summit formally. this has been a big coming out moment for indonesia, an opportunity to really sort of show itself, if you will, on the global stage. you can see him, the president there, addressing the other delegates. we have just there, addressing the other delegates. we havejust seen the us president, joe biden, walk into the venue. in fact, he was accompanied by the

indonesian president, joko widodo, two very important leaders who have so much in front of them to discuss. but, of course, head of this key meeting that is taking place today, there was another very important meeting betweenjoe important meeting between joe biden important meeting betweenjoe biden and chinese president xi jinping, which has really dominated the agenda here at the 620 summit. the two men had the 620 summit. the two men had the chance to meet for the very first time since joe the chance to meet for the very first time sincejoe biden has become president will stop and it was an opportunity to discuss a range of issues from things like the delicate and sensitive nature of taiwan to the use of nuclear weapons. 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. for more analysis, i'm joined now by ian chong, who's assistant professor at the national university of singapore. for more on that meeting

between president xijinping and joe biden. radio two on the programme, professor. 6et and joe biden. radio two on the programme, professor. get your thoughts, and the first instance, on how you felt that first meeting went. was encouraging or simply a photo opportunity? it encouraging or simply a photo opportunity?— opportunity? it was a little bit more — opportunity? it was a little bit more than _ opportunity? it was a little bit more than a _ opportunity? it was a little bit more than a photo - bit more than a photo opportunity. i think the two sides laid out some of the basic disagreements. they sort of had a sense that they would continue talking, so that is a plus, it is not a vow, it is not a promise, but it is a start. . , ., , ., start. yeah, it is a start, as ou start. yeah, it is a start, as you say. — start. yeah, it is a start, as you say. but— start. yeah, it is a start, as you say, but so _ start. yeah, it is a start, as you say, but so many - start. yeah, it is a start, as - you say, but so many countries, including the host, indonesia, very keen to see the two superpowers come together in some way to avoid conflict, as joe biden certainly talked about. do you feel that it's fair to say that the world is possibly a safer place after that meeting taking place? so possibly a safer place after that meeting taking place? 50 i that meeting taking place? so i think with the _ that meeting taking place? st i think with the two that meeting taking place? sf i think with the two sides they both have articulated a desire not to let their relations

spiral out of control. but i think are so many differences and points of friction that is really hard to predict at this point in time. even if we look at the readouts from the two sides they are a bit different. so the chinese side seems to put the blame for their more aggressive action on taiwan pushing towards independence. there was sides as they don't want to change the status quo, they seem to think a little bit on whether the us is committed to its position. so those things will continue. we will see how much two sides can keep a lid on them.— a lid on them. what did you see as the sort _ a lid on them. what did you see as the sort of— a lid on them. what did you see as the sort of key _ a lid on them. what did you see as the sort of key red _ a lid on them. what did you see as the sort of key red lines - a lid on them. what did you see as the sort of key red lines in i as the sort of key red lines in their discussions, professor �*cause i'm their discussions, professor �*cause i�*m interested in the fact that you pointed to this difference in their official readouts, particularly on that issue of taiwan.— readouts, particularly on that issue of taiwan. absolutely. so the us sides — issue of taiwan. absolutely. so the us sides as _ issue of taiwan. absolutely. so the us sides as they _ issue of taiwan. absolutely. so the us sides as they have - issue of taiwan. absolutely. so the us sides as they have kept| the us sides as they have kept their one china policy, which acknowledges the chinese position, it does unsupported

or endorse it, the chinese say they sticking 6inter their promises. so that seems to suggest that the prc side seems to believe that the us is shifting its position around. though there has been an ongoing issue, that has to sort of play out for a bit. i think the other point on taiwan is that the chinese side has insisted that they will not tolerate taiwan independence. but of course is a long—standing position. the us is ambivalent about how the resolution works out, so long as it�*s peaceful, noncoercive, and consensual. so i think for those parts there seems to be some differences between the two sides. some differences between the two sides-— two sides. professor, how do ou two sides. professor, how do you think _ two sides. professor, how do you think other _ two sides. professor, how do you think other asian - you think other asian countries, particularly in this part of the world, many of whom have expressed in the past this feeling of being stuck between us and china, how do you feel they might react to this meeting? i

they might react to this meeting?— they might react to this meeting? they might react to this meetint ? ~' , , ,., meeting? i think they is some ositive meeting? i think they is some positive sentiment _ meeting? i think they is some positive sentiment or - meeting? i think they is some positive sentiment or some i positive sentiment or some desire to look for something positive from this. i think positions haven�*t really changed between the us and china, but the tone certainly has, is i think there is some room for optimism there. but these things, we�*ll have to see how they play out, there was a lot of optimism coming out in the summit between 0bama and president xi, but then things took a turn for the worse, so we will see how things turn out. ., , ,., we will see how things turn out. ., , ., ., ., out. professor ian chong from the national _ out. professor ian chong from the national university - out. professor ian chong from the national university of- the national university of singapore, thank you for joining us on the programme. just as they come in the last few minutes, as the indonesian president, joko widodo, has been opening the 620 formally, he said, speaking in english, "that we must end the war, if the water is not and it will be difficult for the world to move forward." referring to the ukraine. just there was in

china on the minds of leaders here today, but certainly that conflict in ukraine top of the agenda, because it has so many global ramifications from instability in the west, but also on the impact on global food prices, another key issue that has been discussed at the 620 today. we will follow those twists and turns closely here on bbc news and on our website. stay with us on bbc news. still to come: 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 i

by the middle of next year. world leaders are gathering in bali fora summit of the 620 group of nations. high on the agenda — the energy crisis, the war in ukraine and the stability of the global economy. the president of ukraine has been to the southern city of kherson, just days after his troops recaptured it following the withdrawal of russian forces. volodomyr zelensky said step by step, ukraine is reclaiming the territories invaded by russia. kherson was taken by russia early on in the war, and its recapture by ukraine is a major strategic blow for the kremlin, as james waterhouse reports. after everything kherson�*s main square has seen, today was more than just a change in the wind. all chanting untiljust weeks ago, the sight of ukraine�*s leader here would have been difficult to imagine.

this regional capital is back in its control. he was asked whether it was the beginning of the end of this war. 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. an undeniable moment in this war — president zelenskyy appearing in the heart of kherson that was thought to be in firm russian control. he has described this as the beginning of the end of the war, and few people here will disagree with that. ukraine�*s leader knows there�*s a lot of fighting and negotiating before that point. for now, kherson feels like a city emerging from its own lockdown.

0ne place which didn�*t shut was this grocery shop, run by valentina and valentina. "we�*re not sure if it�*s better because we�*re just simple people," she says. "the most important thing is that we�*re still alive." so, this is a russian brand of wafer biscuit, and it�*s kind of a strange legacy of occupation, where valentina�*s shop is full of stock from russia. at one point, they were forced to accept the russian rouble, but no more. translation: they usually paid, i but they still carried weapons, l which was very scary. my knees were shaking from fear, but i had to keep working. it was so hard. even now, i want to cry. some russian traces are more obvious than others. this used to be

the headquarters used by moscow—installed politicians. it�*s claimed to some people were tortured here if they didn�*t follow the rules. ukraine is desperate to achieve peace on its own terms. it is still the underdog, but what�*s got it this far is knowing what it�*s fighting for. james waterhouse, bbc news, kherson. let�*s get some of the day�*s other news. the director of the cia has met the head of russia�*s foreign intelligence service in the turkish capital ankara. the white house said william burns spoke about the consequences of using nuclear weapons, and the risk of escalation, adding that it was not conducting negotiations of any kind, and not discussing a settlement to end the war in ukraine. 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 miltants were to blame. police have arrested the woman suspected of planting a bomb. the american comedian, jay leno, has said he�*s ok after being burned in a fire. the 72—year—old was taken to hospital on sunday after one of his cars burst into flames inside his garage. the former talk show host said he�*d suffered serious burns but was now in stable condition. jeff bezos, the billionaire founder of amazon, has previously 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 reporterjames 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 look 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 broadcast — a news bulletin from london. our correspondent david sillito reports. hello. 2lo calling, 2lo calling. november the 11tth, 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 ourfirst 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 november 1922? 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 6lasgow. 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 bring you some live pictures now from bali where the 620 summit is taking place, will�*s leading economies alongside the european union

gathering for discussions on the world economy gathering for discussions on the world economy and gathering for discussions on the world economy and we gathering for discussions on the world economy and we have just seen presidentjoe biden making this arrival, the images there of this arrival walking into the summit. more online on our website. 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 way 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.

this is bbc news. the headlines: an international charity says the devastating drought in somalia has led to the biggest movement of refugees into kenya in more than a decade. save the children said hundreds of people were arriving every day. nearly 70,000 more are expected to arrive by april next year as somalia edges closer to famine. world leaders are gathering in bali in indonesia for a summit of the 620 group of nations. high on the agenda — the stability of the global economy, the energy crisis and how to address the ongoing war in ukraine. president putin is not attending, but president zelensky will address the gathering by video link. president biden has played down fears of a new cold war
