us presidentjoe biden has a right in lima where he and his chinese counterpart xi jinping will hold their last meeting. it comes a day after both leaders warned of turbulent times ahead as donald trump returns to the white house. mr xijinping has told delegates at the asia—pacific delegate summit taking place in peru that china will be in increasingly open country at a time mr xi has told delegates at the asia—pacific economic summit taking place in peru that china will be an increasingly open country, at a time where he said some were closing in, and pulling towards unilateralism. the comments seemed to mark how china will try to position

itself once donald trump takes office as us president in january. mr trump said he would set tariffs as high as 60% on chinese—made goods. let's speak to steve tsang, director of the china institute at soas university of london. thank you for talking to us. what are your thoughts about what this meeting may hold? i think this meeting is going to be a polite one, potentially workmanlike but china will not make any concessions to the biden administration now if xi jinping is planning to make any concessions to the united states, he will offer them to donald trump after donald trump becomes president. and not to becomes president. and not to be outgoing president biden now. i be outgoing president biden now. ., ., , ., be outgoing president biden now. ., . y ., ~ now. i wonder what you think will be very — now. i wonder what you think will be very different - now. i wonder what you think will be very different about i will be very different about the trump approach to china compared to the last four years because president biden has been pretty tough on china in tree terms. been pretty tough on china in tree term-— been pretty tough on china in

tree terms. , �* ., , tree terms. president biden has actually been — tree terms. president biden has actually been much _ tree terms. president biden has actually been much more - actually been much more difficult for china to deal with than the first trip administration. because the biden administration is very steady, stable, well calibrated in terms of its policy approach whereas donald trump was somebody that xijinping whereas donald trump was somebody that xi jinping could persuade to change his mind on one or two occasions. so i think the trump administration is being seen by the chinese as the lesser of the two evils. what you think of the implications will be if donald trump goes, as he says, i with setting tariffs so much as 60% on imports from china? that would be _ on imports from china? that would be very _ on imports from china? that would be very serious - on imports from china? tiff would be very serious economic consequences for chinese trade or exports to the united states. but it will also substantially increase the cost of american consumers. the

chinese i think are working very hard to engage with other countries including the european union which may well be subjected to lower level of american tariffs, but nonetheless a victim of new trump tariffs. 50 nonetheless a victim of new trump tariffs.— nonetheless a victim of new trump tariffs. so in a sense, if president _ trump tariffs. so in a sense, if president trump _ trump tariffs. so in a sense, if president trump goes - trump tariffs. so in a sense, i if president trump goes ahead with that sort of measure, you think it could be counterproductive? i think it could be counterroductive? ~ counterproductive? i think it is counterproductive - counterproductive? i think it is counterproductive for - counterproductive? i think it is counterproductive for the | is counterproductive for the world and probably counterproductive for american interests. it is certainly not helpful for china, interests. it is certainly not helpfulfor china, but interests. it is certainly not helpful for china, but the trump administration's america first approach is likely to make it easierfor china first approach is likely to make it easier for china to engage with the rest of the world particularly the so—called global south in order to get them to not stand with the united states, but stand with china.—

with china. away from the trade situation, the _ with china. away from the trade situation, the matter _ with china. away from the trade situation, the matter of taiwan | situation, the matter of taiwan still very much in thoughts of what may happen, a major issue between the two countries, do accept president biden to mention it today —— expect? he mention it today -- expect? he may well _ mention it today —— expect? he: may well mention taiwan, he does care about taiwan and understands the strategic importance of taiwan to the united states and also understands that taiwan's democracy is a credit to america's cold war approach. but i think he will not say very much about taiwan because taiwan is a highly sensitive subject for xijinping taiwan is a highly sensitive subject for xi jinping and taiwan is a highly sensitive subject for xijinping and if subject for xi jinping and if they subject for xijinping and if they talk about taiwan, their mark wood to get anywhere, they are at risk of ending in a shouting match. in are at risk of ending in a shouting match.- are at risk of ending in a shouting match. in the sense that ou shouting match. in the sense that you said _ shouting match. in the sense that you said when _ shouting match. in the sense that you said when i - shouting match. in the sense that you said when i asked i shouting match. in the sense| that you said when i asked on what you would think it would happen today you said, nothing substantial will happen now

with this outgoing president if mr xijinping with this outgoing president if mrxijinping is going with this outgoing president if mr xijinping is going to make any gestures or announce anything, this will be with the new american administration. so what is the point of this meeting going on in peru today, why? meeting going on in peru today, wh ? �* , i, , why? because the meeting was set u- why? because the meeting was set up before — why? because the meeting was set up before trump _ why? because the meeting was set up before trump was - set up before trump was elected. for either biden or xi jinping to cancel the bilateral would be sending a very bad signal to both sides and to the rest of the world. so theyjust have to soldier on and have the meeting and that's why i don't expect them to bring up anything terribly serious because they really just want to keep the relationship on an even keel and a new relationship will be by default with the trump administration. so a cordial tone ahead. thank you very much.

here's our correspondent rowan bridge in washington. i mean, donald trump made great play during his election campaign of this idea of imposing tariffs of up to 60% on chinese goods as a way of defending american manufacturing. the risk with such a strategy, though, as some economists will tell you, is that what you end up with is a sort of tit—for—tat trade war. so china then imposes tariffs on american goods, and that slows down international trade. and the bigger concern on a more global level is how widespread do those tariffs get, are they imposed on european goods to the eu? are they imposed on uk goods? and does that spark some sort of global trade war? and what could the implications of that be to the global economy really. the international monetary fund, part of the united nations has warned that if you have a global trade tariff war, of that sort

of scale, that could cause the economy to shrink globally by up to about 7%, which is the size of the german and french economies combined. president biden, as we said, meeting china's president xi a little later. how much does this meeting mean now, given that president biden is now on his way out? yeah. i mean, ithink if you have a meeting of the world's two biggest economic superpowers, both of which are military superpowers as well, in some ways i think that's significant. the united states has been briefing out that they are going to raise their concerns with the chinese over issues such as human trafficking, chinese hacking, threats against taiwan. but i think what you've also seen is the chinese sort of metaphorically already looking overjoe biden's shoulder at the incoming trump administration and what that might mean. you know, president xi isn't constrained by things like term limits, and so he's secure in his position, whereasjoe biden, this is really the start of his swansong. and you can see from

the comments there about sort of protectionism and so on from president xi that those seem very much to be telegraphed towards donald trump and the incoming administration and what they may be planning to do. and one of the members of that incoming administration is likely to be marco rubio, who's going to be appointed if he's approved, america's top diplomat, the secretary of state. he is a china hawk and well known for it. yeah. i mean, he wrote an op—ed piece for the washington post where he called china one of the most significant adversaries america could face. so i think you are going to see a sort of quite a hard line taken by the trump administration towards the chinese. i mean, to be fair to the biden administration, they have taken quite a hard line on certain issues, but they've tried to combine that with a level of diplomacy in areas where they can as well. i think the concern now is kind of how disruptive will it be having that new administration come in, where they have made

it clear from a number of the appointments that they are china hawks, and i'm sure the chinese are sort of reading the tea leaves to try and see where they are going to stand with the new incoming trump administration. let's turn to azerbaijan and the un climate talks — cop29. hundreds of activists formed a chain in the space outside the venue in the azeri capital baku, on what is traditionally the biggest protest day of the two—week talks. joined by protests around the world — demonstrators hummed and snapped theirfingers — to demand rich nations allocate more money to fight climate change. rich countries would have to pay up. pay up for their climate debt. they owe us big time. they find money for wars, they find money for supporting the fossil fuel industry, but they say that they don't have money for climate action? the un's climate chief has urged g20 leaders to agree a deal to raise money for developing nations. ahead of ministers arriving next week, diplomats are struggling to find common ground on a deal that might be

worth hundreds of billions of dollars to poorer nations — many in the global south. this comes after argentina snubbed the talks earlier this week, raising alarm that presidentjavier milei, an ally of us president—elect donald trump, could be looking at pulling out of the paris accord. further pressure on cop's future came from an open letter, with some leading climate experts saying the summit is "no longer fit for purpose" and in need of an urgent overhaul. signatories to the letter include former un secretary—general ban ki—moon and a former un climate chief. sandrine dixson—decleve, who is global ambassador of the club of rome and executive chair of earth—lt—all, a partnership of scientific and economic institutes explains why she thinks the letter is important. the letter was extremely important, but it's also building on two years of talking about the type of reforms that we need with regard to the cop. we've seen that the cops have actually turned into trade shows, have enabled, actually, a series of fossil energy interest groups to participate, including this

year, where it is said that about 1,700 of fossil energy companies have been allowed to come to the cop. and in addition, 132 executives from companies are given badges by the azerbaijan presidency. so what we wanted to do was to highlight to the parties of the convention, but also to the un, that it was time to think through. how can we actually reach the necessary ambition that we need to deal with the climate change that we're seeing right now on our doorstep? at least ten palestinians have been killed in an israeli strike on a united nations run

school that was sheltering displaced families in gaza city. rescuers are continuing to search for survivors in the abu assi school in the al shati refugee camp. many are thought to be still trapped under the rubble. joe inwood reports from jerusalem. in the aftermath of the strike they search for anyone who may have survived. this was once a un school, abu assi, that had been providing shelter for displaced families. israel has told people to leave the north of gaza. it's clear tens of thousands have not. that was not the only attack in gaza today. local health officials saved 30 people were killed across the strip. this man witnessed another air strike reportedly on a barbershop in gaza city. translation: i gaza city. translation: h, gaza city. translation: i saw people fl int, i translation: i saw people flying, i brought _ translation: i saw people flying, i brought my - translation: i saw people flying, i brought my horse i translation: i saw people l flying, i brought my horse and carried them here, through people, they were torn to pieces. the missile suddenly fell on a barbershop, that is where we had been living since the start of the war. it defence forces have confirmed they carried out the strike on they carried out the strike on the school, but that it was being used by hamas as a command and control centre. and that they try to avoid civilian

you know, everything is at an all—time low. and what do they do? they kick us again. galvanised by the budget - and the government's decision galvanised by the budget and the government's decision to levy inheritance tax on farms, they descended here from across wales and as far away as yorkshire today. this government has made the one decision which is destroying the morale, the mental wellbeing and the economic viability of farms. we don't work for ourselves, we work to produce food for others, for an asset which will be passed on. and in the end, the alternative is the fragmentation of the farms bought by large companies. honking. farms have long been exempt from inheritance tax. the government says only the very biggest will now pay, only at a rate that's still lower than for other property, and only a maximum of a few hundred will be affected every year.

applause. addressing the welsh labour conference, the prime minister did not mention inheritance tax, but did say he believes his tax raising budget is the right one for the country. i will defend our decisions| in the budget all day long. the consequence, he said, is that the welsh government will get more funding than ever. i will defend facing i up to the harsh light of fiscal reality. i will defend the tough - decisions that were necessary to stabilise our economy, i and i will defend protecting the payslips of working people, fixing the foundations - of our economy and investing in the future of britain - and the future of wales. out of 32 welsh parliamentary seats at the election, labour won 27. but critical voices are getting louder and seeds of protest being planted by farmers who say their ability to pass their businesses to future generations is under threat. damian grammaticas, bbc news.

a mass stabbing at a college campus in eastern china has left eight people dead and 17 others have been hurt. police said a 21—year—old man who'd studied at the wuxi technical college was arrested. they said he admitted carrying out the stabbings because the institute had refused to issue his diploma. he was also said to be unhappy with poor pay and long hours as an intern. the attack is the latest mass casualty incident to hit china. last monday, 35 people were killed and 40 others injured after a car ploughed into pedestrians who were exercising in the southern chinese city of zhuhai. in the breakaway georgian region of abkhazia, russian media are reporting anti—government protesters have refused to leave the parliament building. they entered the building on friday, calling on the region's president to resign over an investment agreement with russia.

reports suggest the protesters have rejected the president's proposal to stand down and call an election in return for their departure. there have been angry scenes, too, in the georgian capital, tbilisi. as the election commission chief prepared to confirm last month's election results, an opposition politician threw black paint on him. 0fficial election results gave a 54% majority to georgian dream, whose opponents say it wants to steer the caucasus nation away from europe and back into russia's orbit. in the philippines thousands of people have been urged to evacuate — as super typhoon man—yi makes landfall. man—yi hit with maximum wind speeds of almost 200 kilometres per hour. authorities have warned that man—yi has the potential to cause severe damage, with life—threatening" floods and leave millions at risk from storm surges. this is the sixth typhoon in the philippines this month. hopefully you had a chance to look up at the sky last

night and take in the dazzling beaver moon — the fourth and final supermoon of the year. a supermoon is when the moon is closest to the earth, appearing bigger and brighter than normal and there won't be another until october. the unusually bright and clear moon made for some impressive pictures across the uk and the rest of the world, as will vernon reports. a super sight to behold. last night's supermoon over glastonbury tor in somerset. from around the uk, stargazers sent us these magnificent pictures. known as the beaver moon, this will be the last supermoon of the year. the supermoon is just when the moon is closer to us, so its orbit is not circular. it's elliptical, so there are points in which it is closer to the earth than others. and of course, the closer it is, the larger it looks. so that's what we call a supermoon is when it's a full moon, and it happens to be very close in its orbit. the spectacular sight was also visible around the world, shining here over lebanon's war—torn capital, and in hanoi, where residents came out

to see the moon dazzling in the night sky. it's been a good year for supermoons. last month's hunter's moon was even brighter. but are we getting more of them? it's just i think a lot now is social media has made them kind of a bit more well known, so people are more aware of them that they're going on. so, they were happening all the time anyway. but same with the names for them. people are more aware of them, which is great because people look up at the night sky. and more cosmic treats could be in store this weekend. a meteor shower similar to this one seen in croatia in august, could be visible in our skies on sunday night. but moon superfans will have to wait a while. there won't be another one of these on show

until october next year. will vernon, bbc news. stay with us here on bbc news. hello again. up to now it's been a very mild november, but all that is changing. it's going to be getting colder over the week ahead for all of us. and that means frosts more widely. and for northern parts of the uk in particular, the risk of some snow and some ice. and it's all because this deep area of low pressure is moving away into scandinavia. and following on from that, the winds are coming down from the north, from the arctic, pushing down into the uk. and those colder winds have arrived already in scotland. the winds are easing overnight, but we'll see more wintry showers over the hills in the north of the country. some clear spells elsewhere as that cloud and rain clears

away from southern parts of england and wales — will still be a few showers too. where we have the lighter winds and clearer skies in eastern scotland and north east england there'll be a frost. temperatures could be as low as —3 celsius, but it should start bright and sunny here. it won't be as windy in scotland as it's been today, but we'll see showers developing and, again, they'll be wintry over the hills in the north. cloud probably building across other parts of the uk. most of the rain affecting northern ireland, moving into wales and the northwest of england. temperature—wise, probably going to be a couple of degrees lower than today. quite a significant and noticeable change for the midlands in particular. we've still got double figure temperatures, though, in the far southwest in that milder air mass. but it's colder air elsewhere. and along the boundary between those two, you get a weather front. and this deepening area of low pressure — that's going to run into the colder air, and bring the risk of snow later on monday and monday night. but, during the day, more wintry showers continuing across northern scotland, cloud tending to build elsewhere, bringing with it some outbreaks of rain, wetter weather arriving in northern ireland as that area of low pressure approaches, and it bumps

into that colder air. so as we head into monday evening, we're going to find the rain turning to snow across some parts of northern ireland, but more especially overnight, into southern scotland and northern england. this is where we've got the greater risk of disruption. there is a yellow weather warning at the moment with the heavier snow over the hills, of course. we've also got that snow across the far north of scotland. snow in northern england, southern scotland could continue into tuesday morning before that. low pressure then moves away. but we're still left with this northerly wind well into next week, bringing colder air and some more wintry showers.
