that meeting has just got under way in peru between the two leaders, arranged trump and

potentially to donald trump and his stated policy of bringing in tariffs on chinese goods, something that could cause significant damage to the chinese economy. but clearly they are keeping one eye onjoe biden in this meeting and when i onjoe biden at mar—a—lago. as you say, fears about the size of the tariff that donald trump is threatening to impose and possibly up to 60% on chinese imports. how great our fears over a potential trade war? ., , , fears over a potential trade war? ., ,, war? economists will tell you that there — war? economists will tell you that there is _ war? economists will tell you that there is a _ war? economists will tell you that there is a risk _ war? economists will tell you that there is a risk in - war? economists will tell you that there is a risk in these . that there is a risk in these sorts of situations with a tit—for—tat approach where both sides of the site that they are going to impose tariffs on the other and what that ends up doing is seizing up global trade making it difficult for american companies to export to china at for chinese companies to export to the united states. potentially it makes chinese goods far more expensive for american consumers and that that potentially fuels inflation in the united states. but donald trump made a big

play of the idea of imposing tariffs on chinese goods on the campaign trail because he promoted it as a way of protecting american industry and manufacturing by making chinese goods more expensive and making it more attractive to buy domestically. president biden has not _ to buy domestically. president biden has not been _ to buy domestically. president biden has not been easy - to buy domestically. president biden has not been easy on i biden has not been easy on china during his administration, but donald trump is also appointed a potential future secretary of state someone regarded as a hock on china. it state someone regarded as a hock on china.— hock on china. it is marco rubio the _ hock on china. it is marco rubio the new _ hock on china. it is marco rubio the new secretary i hock on china. it is marco l rubio the new secretary of state and in fact america's chief diplomat who was very much seen as you say as a sort of a china with the magna administration as they have tried to take a twin track approach and have been tough on china with chinese buying and some trade restrictions for example —— the biden administration, but also taking administration, but also taking a diplomatic strand to their

approach to china as well. with the chinese will be looking at is how will the new incoming trump administration treat china? will also take a twin shank approach or take a diplomatic strand on one side and a more hard—nosed approach on the other or will it be a slightly more chaotic approach where policies wax and wane according to donald trump's wins at the time. i think that is where the chinese will be trying to read the tea leaves out of mar—a—lago. trying to read the tea leaves out of mar-a-lago. events eve nts fro m events from washington, let's show you where this meeting is taking place now. we have been looking at this rather uneventful shot of the hotel in lima, the capital of peru where the two leaders are taking place inside the hotel there are some lines coming out of that meeting, president biden saying that the us china relationship should be about competition, not conflict. other voices be have been hearing from say we don't expect anything in particular

to come out, dramatically about new announcements in this meeting. if china is going to make them, they will wait for donald trump to take office. but this meeting was arranged before donald trump won the us presidential election and the sorts of meetings are not cancelled. they are gone ahead with and they will be cordial. so we are expecting that atmosphere from xi jinping and outgoing president of the united states, joe biden taking place there on the sidelines of that apec asia pacific salmon in the peruvian capital of lima. —— summit. us president—elect donald trump has just announced that oil and gas industry executive chris wright would lead the department of energy. wright is a a staunch defender of fossil fuel use. he's the founder and ceo of liberty energy, an oil—field services firm based in denver. he is expected to support trump's plan to maximise production of oil and gas.

meanwhile, several of donald trump's nominees for key posts in his future governmen are facing heavy scrutiny, including claims of misconduct. police have revealed that his choice for defence secretary, fox news host pete hegseth, had been investigated for an alleged sexual assault in 2017. he was never arrested and denies wrongdoing. cbs news reports that pete hegseth was once flagged as a potential "insider threat" by fellow military personnel. a former member of the minnesota national guard, he has a tattoo on his bicep which is associated with white supremacy. mr hegseth has denied any connection to extremist groups. meanwhile, the man picked to be donald trump's attorney general — matt gaetz — was the subject of an ongoing ethics investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct, illicit drug use and misuse of campaign funds. and mr trump's nominee for health secretary robert f kenneder, is facing backlash for his vaccine scepticism. meanwhile donald trump's pick for us ambassador to israel mike huckabee — said in 2017 "there

was no such thing as a settlement" describing them as "communities." trump has named his election campaign spokeswoman, 27—year—old karoline leavitt, as his white house press secretary. north dakota governor doug burgum will lead the interior department, an agency whose portfolio includes both on—shore and off—shore drilling. liz goodwin is the congress reporter at washington post and told me more about trump's latest appointments. it's for attorney general has probably sort of rocked the world of republican senators the most this week. he's just very unpopular among republicans because he was so focused on taking out the former house speaker, kevin mccarthy. so he has no good relationships, essentially, on the senate side among republicans. and then on top of that, as you mentioned earlier, there's all of these allegations around sex

trafficking and other misconduct that were being investigated by the house ethics committee that i think senate republicans, they really want to get their hands on that report. and he's the person that they've been the most willing this past week to publicly question as a nominee, whereas they've been holding their fire a little bit more when it comes to someone like pete hegseth. now, that's very interesting that you say that there is this sort of resistance to the idea of matt gaetz being attorney general, because it's thought now that the republican party is completely the party of donald trump, do you think there could be problems ahead for his appointment? i do, actually. i think that it is true that after this election, senate republicans really want to give a lot of deference to trump because they know that, for example, he won more votes than any senate republican did who was up for re—election this november, in every single state where they were facing re—election. so they know he's more popular than them. they say he has a mandate. they've kind of given up on this idea that

he's a temporary phase. he's the leader of the party, and they know that. but someone like matt gaetz is kind of testing their willingness to go along with every single appointment. i think there's a lot of kind of controversial people they might not have nominated or not, might not have voted to confirm four years ago that they will this time. but i don't think that gaetz is going to be one of them. let's turn to another choice you mentioned — fox news host pete hegseth. tell us, liz, about the reaction. i mean, this is a man who didn't rise particularly high in the army, in the national guard, but he is being put in charge of the entire pentagon as defence secretary. yeah, it's definitely a very unconventional choice. i mean, there's 3 million employees of the pentagon, civilian and military. it's a huge organisation, and this is a person who hasn't run a big organisation, civilian or military, before. so, you know, there's a lot of questions about him. but senators, there have been far fewer republican senators who have openly questioned him as a choice. most of them are saying,

you know, i look forward to meeting him or i know him, ilike him. or i don't know him, so i'm going to learn more. but no one's really coming out and just saying that's not ok, he's not qualified, in the way that a few people have about matt gaetz. liz goodwin of the washington post. ukraine's president volodymyr zelensky says he would like to end the war with russia next year through "diplomatic means". he's been speaking with ukrainian radio a day after saying russia s war on his country will end sooner than it otherwise would have done, with donald trump's return to the white house. translation: we are a great| nation and we have to prove it. therefore, i believe that the war will end. there is no exact date, but for sure i emphasise once again what the policy of this team that will now lead the white house, the war will end faster. this is their approach. this is their promise to their society. and it is also very

important for them, not only for the sake of ukraine. with more on the potential impact of a trump administration on the war in ukraine here's our correspondentjessica parker. i think donald trump has made, through the campaign, several comments that have led people to think that he could, or his administration could potentially put pressure on ukraine to cede territory to russia that moscow has occupied. why do i say that? well, donald trump has very much questioned the amount of aid that the us has been sending to ukraine. the us has been kyiv�*s biggest backer in terms of military aid. and he has talked about ending the war very quickly. he's even claimed he could end it in a day without specifying how. and then you match all of that together with what's happening on the battlefield, it is ukraine of course that's on the back foot in the east.

and so it's interesting to hear president zelensky�*s remarks on this matter, telling ukrainian media, as you were saying, it is certain the war will end sooner with the policies of the team that's going to enter the white house, and as well, ukraine must do everything so this war ends next year through diplomatic means. it wasn't that long ago, of course, that president zelensky came to the us, met withjoe biden and met with donald trump as well, to present what was being described as his victory plan. he talked about trying to strengthen ukraine's hands in any future sort of diplomatic solution. at the time he did that there was a sense that the plan had fallen a little bit flat in washington, dc. but of course now we think his relationship with donald trump and the conversations they have will be key. there was of course a bit of mystery between donald trump and vladimir putin, the russian president. there were reports those two had had a phone call but that was outright denied by the kremlin. jessica parker in florida.

here in the uk, hundreds of angry farmers have protested outside the welsh labour party conference. they're furious with the uk government's decision to impose a 20% inheritance tax on farm estates worth more than a million pounds. that's around one—and—a—quarter million dollars. but the prime minister says he will defend the government's budget announcements "all day long". here's damian grammaticas. on the north wales coast, the rumblings of rural protest. could this swell into a real political problem for the government? the morale, the mental health, 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. meanwhile 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. venezuelan authorities are expected to release 225 prisoners who were detained during protests against the disputed reelection of president nicolas maduro injuly. footage shows emotional reunions between prisoners— who have already been released today from prisons in central venezuela, and their families. 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. siren wails. in the chaotic aftermath of the strike, they searched for anyone who might have survived.

this was once a un—run school abu assi, that had been providing shelter for displaced families. israel has told everyone to leave the north of gaza. it is clear tens of thousands have not. that was not the only attack in gaza today. local health officials say 30 people were killed across the strip. this man witnessed another airstrike, reportedly on a barber shop in gaza city. translation: i saw people flying. - i brought my horse and carried them here. three people, they were torn to pieces. the missile suddenly fell on a barber shop. that's where we've been living since the start of the war. the israeli defense forces have confirmed they carried out the strike on the school, but said it was being used by hamas as a command and control centre, and that they tried to avoid civilian casualties by using what they call precise munitions. tonight in tel aviv, there were renewed calls from the families of the israeli hostages for a deal to be done. i call on you, leaders of the world, president biden and president—elect trump,

don't give up on the hostages. two children, their parents and 97 other hostages are waiting to be saved. it's more than 400 days since the friends and families of many of these people were taken. 400 days that have brought nothing but death and misery to the people of gaza. joe inwood, bbc news, jerusalem. some other developments to bring you in the war in the middle east. israel's army says a synagogue was hit in a �*rocket barrage' on haifa. and in a separate incident, we've also heard from the police, who say that two flares have landed near netanyahu's home in what they called a �*serious incident�*. 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—li—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. time to think through.

how can we actually reach how can we actually reach the necessary ambition the necessary ambition that we need to deal that we need to deal with the climate change with the climate change that we're seeing right that we're seeing right now on our doorstep? now on our doorstep? i'm wondering how long this has i'm wondering how long this has been brewing, if you like. - been brewing, if you like. - i mean, was baku the final i mean, was baku the final straw with the azeri president straw with the azeri president ilham aliyev standing up before ilham aliyev standing up before all the world leaders there all the world leaders there and the un secretary—general, and the un secretary—general, who was just about to speak, who was just about to speak, saying that oil and gas saying that oil and gas were a gift from god? were a gift from god? yes. yes. i think that the contradictions i think that the contradictions a few things. between the need to facilitate between the need to facilitate through a presidency a cop through a presidency a cop process that enables us, process that enables us, this time, to have both this time, to have both a climate finance deal, a climate finance deal, but also to build on the pledge but also to build on the pledge from last year of transitioning from last year of transitioning out of fossil energy, out of fossil energy, and then to have not only and then to have not only a presidency that has been a presidency that has been doing deals on fossil energy doing deals on fossil energy the week before and on top the week before and on top of it, then opening up the cop, as you say, with this quite flabbergasting declaration. so we did feel as leaders who have been working in this

area that we wanted to do of it, then opening up the cop,

from non—state actors and state actors, which have enabled us to come to a point where we need to ensure now that we move towards action and implementation. and this is all the more important when we see the climate shocks. we've just seen it in valencia recently. we can see growing hurricanes and temperature shifts, desertification in so many parts of the world. we've surpassed 1.5 degrees several times this year. and we also know increasingly that at 1.5 and also going up to three degrees, we can lose up to 3% to 10% of gdp. so the cost of inaction is becoming very clear to all of us.

let's show you the latest pictures we are getting of the meeting of president biden and president xijinping and meeting of president biden and president xi jinping and you can see the flowers between the two tables with the two leaders meeting which is the final meeting which is the final meeting of president biden with xijinping. joe biden�*s meeting is on the sidelines of apec, arranged before the recent us election�*s outcome and it is the last time they will see each other before president biden leaves office. but they have maintained a very cordial approach to that meeting, but no major news lines coming out. it was billed as a fighting comeback for the former world heavyweight boxing champion mike tyson, but in the end his much hyped fight against the social media influencer turned—boxer jake paul has ended in victory for the 27—year—old. the bout saw 58—year—old tyson

come out of retirement for his first fight since 2005. mike tyson has convictions for rape, assault and cocaine possession. and it became clear near the start that he was struggling to stay with the pace. when the scorecards were annouced, jake paul was a comfortable winner. thank you for watching. hello there. after what's been a pretty mild start to november, it looks like the second half of november is going to turn very much colder with our first real taste of wintry weather expected as we head into next week, with the chance of some snow and ice which could cause some disruption. now, for sunday it looks like that cold air is already across northern scotland bringing further wintry showers certainly to the hills here. but some brighter skies across northern and eastern england too, but thicker cloud for northern ireland pushing

across the irish sea into wales and the midlands, will bring outbreaks of rain here. but again, quite a contrast in temperatures from north to south across the country. still some mild air looming here. now that mild air stays in place across the south. cold air to the north, and we start to see an area of low pressure sliding in off the atlantic and that will bring increasingly wet and windy weather across the board. but as this rain bumps into the cold air across the north we'll likely see a swathe of sleet and snow across central and northern areas. this is how monday is shaping up now, bright with some sunshine across northern and eastern parts with further wintry showers across northern scotland. northern ireland, increasingly england and wales, will see the clouds build and outbreaks of rain will continue to push on from the west turning heavier as we reach the second half of the day. again, quite a contrast in temperatures from north to south across the country. but as we move into monday evening we will start to see some sleet and snow develop across northern ireland and then in towards southern scotland and northern england as that rain bumps into the cold air. we also have further accumulations of snow across northern scotland with these snow showers. it could be that this area of rain could be a bit further southwards, in which case have to cater

for a little bit of snow for north wales and perhaps even the north midlands. but as we head into the early part of tuesday it looks like that sleet and snow might continue to affect parts of northern england, so some tricky driving conditions across the high routes of the pennines to start tuesday. again, quite a contrast in temperatures from north to south across the country to begin tuesday. as we move through tuesday, though, eventually that low pressure pushes off into the near continent, opens the floodgates to an arctic northerly and that will send the cold air right across the country with frequent snow showers pushing into northern areas, but draped around all coasts. so we will continue to see very cold weather, quite a lot of sunshine further inland, a cold might as well with a significant risk of frost and ice. that's it from me, take care.

this is bbc news, the headlines... joe biden is meeting with xi jinping on the sidelines of the apec summit in peru. mr xi described the relationship between china and the us as having "ups and downs" but said it played a key role in shaping global stability. ten infants die in a hospital fire in northern india, and 16 other babies are receiving treatment. local officials say the blaze in the intensive care unit may have been caused by an electrical fault. president zelensky says russia s war on ukraine will end sooner than it otherwise would have done,

with donald trump's return to the white house injanuary. a super typhoon has made landfall in the philippines with wind speeds of almost 200 kilometres per hour. now on bbc news, political thinking with nick robinson. hello and welcome to political thinking, a conversation with rather than a newsier interrogation, of someone who shapes our political thinking about what shaped theirs. now, you may wonder what is the nation's top copper, the commissioner of the metropolitan police, got to do with politics? the truth is i suspect my guest this week, sir mark rowley,
