is it in the end rush is president decided he wouldn't as he pulled out of attending the g 20 summit in person from a blow to indonesia, president joe co widow who had even traveled to moscow to personally invite vladimir putin. but many western members of the g 20 will be relieved. they won't have to meet putin face to face some have questioned rushes, membership, following its invasion of ukraine. an invasion that created a deep geopolitical divide. that divide means that even if putin isn't on the indonesian island of bali this week, his war will still overshadow events. it's already called tom all across the world, including a flute crisis after great prices, sword as a result of the war. a deal to allow grain exports from ukraine was agreed with

russia in the summer. but at the end of october, putin suspended it, although co operation began a few days later, the russian president may refuse to extend the deal when the agreement expires later this week. and energy crisis has also hit the world hard with most e u g 20 members doing their best to reduce their dependence on russian gas and oil, leaving many out in the cold other g 20 members including india. ah, we interrupt that report. we go alive to joe biden, as he speaks after he thinks he shouldn't be. an american people prove once again the democracy is who we are. there is a strong rejection of election deniers at every level from those seeking to lead our states and those seeking to serve in congress and also those seeking to oversee

the elections. and there is a strong rejection of political violence voter intimidation. there was in fabric statement that in america the world, the people prevails. i have, i've traveled this week, has been clear just how close to the world and our allies, and our competitors as well. have been following our lectures at home, excuse me, a little cold. and what these election showed is that there's a deeper waiver and commitment in america to preserving and protecting defending democracy. now let me speak briefly about our agenda over the past few days in egypt and in cambodia. and here in indonesia, in this moment of great global challenges, from global inflation to climate crisis, to russia's brutal war against ukraine. we're bringing together the broad as possible coalition partners to deliver results at cop $27.00 in egypt. i made it

clear thanks to the ball, the gen of art ministration. we pursue from day one to tack over climate crisis in advance energy security at home and around the world. the united states will be united states will meet our mission is target under the targets under the pass agreement. and we're going to keep working with our partners to support the most vulnerable countries and building resilience to climate that impacts and to align global ambition with the 1.5 degrees celsius goal. while supercharge in our clean energy transition at the us asi on summer, in the stages summit, i laid out a commitment for to working with our partners in in the pacific to ensure a future that is vital to this region that's free and open and prosperous as well as secure and i met with our allies from australia, japan, in the republic of korea, underscore and our commitment and deep engagement with our closest partners is strengthening cooperation among our allies, to meet shared threats,

to our own security and to this their security. including the dpr k, and let me, i just met in person where she's been paying on the people's republic of china. we had actually, and we had an open and candid conversation about our intentions and our priorities . it was clear, he was clear and i was clear, they will defend american interest and values, promot, university human rights, and stand up for their national order and work in lock step with our allies and partners. we're going to compete vigorously for i'm not looking for conflict. i'm looking to manage is competition responsibly. and i want to make sure, make sure that every country abides by the international rules of the road. we discussed that one china policy or one china policy has not changed, has not changed. we oppose unilateral change the status quo by either side. and we're committed to maintaining the pieces to believe in taiwan. straits was also

clear. the chinese united states should be able to work together where we can solve global challenges, require every nation to do as part we discuss rushes, aggression against ukraine, reaffirmed our shared belief. and the threat or the use of nuclear weapons is totally unacceptable. and i asked that secretary blank and travel to china to follow up on our discussion to continue keeping the lines of communication open between our 2 countries. looking ahead at the g 20 meeting tomorrow, we're going to be talking to taking on the very issues that matter to people lives . not only here but also also our allies in our partners. damage tackling is suffering that russia, aggression has a least not just new people, but the people around the world, particularly food insecurity and strengthen the fundamentals of our global economy . for everyone. support for debt relief reforms for multilateral development banks

investments to bolster global health security. and to make sure the world is better prepared for the next pandemic. the g 20 has been an important forum for the world's largest economies to work together for the good of people everywhere. and i'm looking forward to our meeting tomorrow. and let me close to this my 1st trip overseas. last year, i said that america was back back at home, back at the table and back to leaving the world in the year and a half that's followed. we've shown exactly what that means. america is keeping us commitments. american invest in our strength at home. america is working alongside our allies and partners, deliver real meaningful progress around the world. that is critical moment. no nation is better position, help build the future we want. then the united states of america. i'm happy to take questions and i'm told are going to be for questioners, but i'm not going to do 10 questions from each question or make that clear out here

. and so can thomas wall street journal meeting that you did not want? you did not want a competition to turn into conflict. based on this meeting today. do you believe a new cold war with shot can be avoided in specifically on the issue of taiwan? you spoke about intentions. do you believe china is preparing intending to invade, ty taiwan at some point? and what warnings did you issue to president? she, if he were to take such action won't answer 1st part of your question, i'm absolutely believers need not be a new cold war we. i've met many times when she's paying and we were candid and clear with one another across the board. and i do not think there's any imminent attempt on the part of china to invade taiwan. and i made it clear that our policy

in taiwan has not changed at all. it's the same exact position we've had and made it clear that we want to see cross street issues peacefully resolved. and, and so it never has to come to that. and i'm convinced that that he understood exactly what i was saying. i understood he was saying, and look, i think the united states is better prepared than any country in the world, economically and politically, to deal with the changing circumstances around the world. and i think that i think she's you, thing is we agreed that we would set up a service set of circumstances where on issues that were that we had to further resolve details. we agreed that we have our chief of staff, are the appropriate cabinet members and others sit and meet with one another to

discuss the details and any, every issue that we that was raised and we raised a lot of issues sung kim, associated press. mister president, you bet what president? she and you met with him face to face after he had a question really consolidated his power at home. so now that you've met with him face to face, how do you assess his sort of posture towards the united states? now, and did you find them personally to be more confrontational or more conciliatory and willing to compromise neither and yes, yes, i didn't find a more confrontational or more conciliatory. i found him that way. he's always been direct and straightforward. and do i think he's willing to compromise on various issues? yes, i think he understands that. look, i think how can i say this tactfully?

i think the i think the election held ignited states was still leaves a little bit uncertain. has sent a very strong message around the world that the united states is ready to play. the united states, as the republicans who survived along with the democrats, are of the view that we're going to stay fully engaged in the world. and that we in fact know what we're about. and so i don't get any sense that there's more or less confrontation. we were very blunt with one another about places where we disagreed or where we were uncertain of each other's position. and we agreed which set up and we did mechanisms whereby we would meet in detail with our key people in each of our administrations to discuss how we could resolve or how if they weren't resolved on what basis were the not result sebastian smith,

the so the a f p thank you very much, miss president. to close the, the re taking of has on ukraine signal at turning points in the wall and your opinion that the ukrainians, whether your friends can realistically pursue their ultimate goal of expelling the russians completely. including retaking crimea. if so does the u. s. intend to support and facilitate that goal as you've been doing so far with their other goals? or would you perhaps see has some of the different kind of inflection point. basically, a good time to start negotiating now that they've got a more strength and they had a few weeks ago. first of all, as a significant, significant victory for grant, significant victory. and i can do nothing but applaud the

courage, determination and capacity of you create people and you create the military. i mean, they're really been amazing. and i think it's hard to tell us this point exactly what it means in terms of what i've been very clear that we're going to continue to provide the capability for the ukrainian people that defend themselves. and we are not going to engage in any negotiation. there's no, nothing about ukraine without ukraine in the city your credit has to make. i think you're going to see things slowed down a bit because of the winter months and inability to move as as easily around the country. but i think it remains to be seen exactly what the outcome will be accepted. i'm competent. russia will not occupy or defend your grade is a intended from the beginning again,

her job readiness. reuters the tangent, most president, quick question on north korea, which appears points to conduct an nuclear test. i'm wondering if you can talk about your specific discussions with president she on that. to what extent do you think china has the ability to talk or north korea out of conducting such tests? and what are the repre cushions for us chinese relations if a test goes forward? well, 1st of all, it's difficult to say that i am certain that china can't control north korea. number one, number 2, i've made it clear to present and she's paying that i thought they had an obligation to attempt to make it clear to north korea that they should not engage

and long range nuclear test. and i made it clear as well that if they did, they mean north korea that we would have to take certain actions that would be more defensive on our behalf. and it would not be directing us north korea. i mean, shoot me would not be directed against china, but it would be to send him a clear message to north korea. we are going to a friend our allies, as well as american soil in american capacity. and so, but i do not think that is difficult to determine whether or not china has a capacity. i'm confident china is not looking for north korea to engage in further respiratory means because i made it clear and i made it clear from the very beginning and last year as well that we will do it the to defend our capacity to defend ourselves and our allies, south korea,

as well as on japan and it would be, we'd be more up in the face of, of, of china. but it wouldn't be because of china because of what was going on in north korea. so and again on a number of these issues, we have put together teams where our national security adviser, secretary of defense and others, are going to be engaged with their counterparts in china. to see we're not gonna be able to work everything out. and my suggestion is going to, this is come by, i, you know, everybody is going to go away with everything in agreement. but i do not believe there's a need for concern of a, as one of you raised the legitimate question, a new cold war. and i think that i conclude by saying this way, i want to be clear and be clear with all leaders, but particularly when she's in pain that i mean when i say,

and i say what i made. so there's no misunderstanding. that's the biggest concern is i have is a misunderstanding about intentions or actions on each of our parts. so we want to look at my team, how long that me last 3 and a half hours. so we covered an awful lot of territory and, and i must say that he was a straightforward as he has been with me in the past. and i think that we understand one of which is the most important thing that can be done. i guess all of you going swimming from here, it's not far but around the spectrum. right. i don't think i can expect much of anything other than we're going to maintain our positions. i'm not going to get into more questions. i shouldn't even there that your question? no, no, i don't think i don't think there's enough votes to kind of fi unless something happens unusual in the house. i think we're going to get very close in

the house, but i don't. i think it can be very close, and i think we're going to make all right, thank you everybody. thank you. that's the 2nd that was the american president, joe biden speaking after concluding his meeting with his chinese count bunches. and let's go straight to that. i'm his chief international editor, richard walker, who is in a barley, has listened in to that statement written, what's your main takeaway yet? well, i think a couple of things get hard. i think 1st of all, what was striking was that after a very long several talks, we just heard joe biden, they're saying then that he spoke to the chinese leaders. she jumping for 3 and a half hours, really very detailed comprehensive talks. we have to assume going through a lot of issues. and he only took, i think, by my reckoning, something like 1516 minutes for a press conference, only taking questions from a for reporters. i found that quite striking and i wonder what we should read in to

that, whether joe biden didn't want to go into too much of a blow by blow detailed rendition of what he talked about was she, jim pink. so, and that potentially assign of, you know, when you get into the detail of their discussions, maybe not as positive as he might have wanted to put her spin on it. but against that, i think his overall message seemed to be a confident one. we kind of, we met, we saw each other, i to i, we understand each other, we communicated clearly, we communicated candidly. so i think on that side he's trying to put in a pretty positive message on this. and after all, these are people that he hasn't even met, she's in pain in person since becoming president. so obviously it is important to have that kind of communication. he did mention of course, the threat of a new cold war with china and the situation or about taiwan. he said that there was no imminent threat to taiwan and babs or

we can rely on that. can we really rely on that? well, yes. so i think let's take both those points. so in terms of a new cold war that the u. s. has been adamant that it doesn't want a new cold war with china in all of their st. they always say, this is not what we want a, but i think more and more analyst do see that the situation between the u. s. in china is whether they wanted or not. it is a new kind of cold war. it's not similar to the original cold war back in the last century where there was very little trade, for instance, between the u. s. and russia, a totally different situation now with obviously very extensive trade ties between the u. s. in china and also china, the rest of the world are different situation a, but still a very, very profound kind of show down to between 2 mighty powers with very different visions of what kind of a world they want to live in. and eats of suspecting that the other wants to hinder

her, their achievement of that world that they want to live in. it obviously has a lot of parallels to the 20th century cold war in that sense, in terms of tie one yet joe biden said, when asked about, did he think of the chinese are planning to invade taiwan? he said words to the extent that i do not believe there is any imminent intent by china to invade taiwan. now, the thing is, i don't think anybody really believes that china does imminently intend to invade taiwan. the concerns are more on other levels, concerns are on the one hand, that the chinese intimidation against taiwan. the chinese said dig out fighter jet or to fly across what's called the median line in the taiwan straits. so closer and closer to taiwan, that sets up greater and greater risk of a potential accidental ur trigger of war with potentially a chinese and a taiwanese of fighter coming into contact. so that is something that could

potentially trigger conflicts and also otherwise, whether the chinese are planning an invasion, maybe not imminently, but potentially in a 5 year timeline, a 10 year timeline, or according to jo biden's own head of the navy, or potentially in the next couple of years, so what he is saying here is potentially a conflicting with some other things that have been coming out of his military in other parts of his administration. so yeah, i mean, the time one issue gearhart is not going to get put to rest after one conversation here in barley between these 2 leaders. and yeah, i think we simply don't know enough yet of, from what we've heard from joe biden. and also from what the chinese have said, i to know if there's any progress on that at all. but another geopolitical hotspot of course, or north korea. and he mentioned that he spoke to her and asked him to influence

to exert pressure on pyongyang to not conduct long range nuclear tests. can china actually do that? what i think is joe biden, himself, in his comments raising a that question to some extent himself, you know, whether you know, good, whether the china really has or what level the degree of control over north korea. but i think this is certainly, i mean, i've been in the region here now for a few days in singapore, on the way down here to barley and people i was talking to in singapore say that they're concerned that the situation around with north korea could also suddenly trigger into conflict that there is, you know, the potential for a trigger of conflict there that the world's, you know, we put, we've come so accustomed to north korea. so the launching tests of all sorts of missiles and, and you know, it's, it's done multiple nuclear test that has never triggered a conflict. it could happen. i think this is also one of the things of the ukraine

war, or that it's been this reminder that sort of latent brewing conflicts that appear to be frozen while they can unfreeze very suddenly they can burst out into the open . i think that is a real concern here in the endo pacific region. that is not just taiwan. there's a potential flash point for war a but also the activities of north korea good of his chief of the national origins walk of their reporting from barley. thank you. very much, richard. ukraine's president vladimir zalinski has visited the newly liberated city of san. he congratulated ukrainian troops who retook the city last week. remnant claims gas on is still part of russia. and he says, investigators have uncovered evidence of russian war crimes in the region while and coast on. he said ukraine wants peace, but not on russian terms. a,

do all the country do temporary divided chairs and goes, this is a beauty by this long way. difficult to way because this use war 2, the best heroes to walk on. and so, but for us to worry understandable, we don't believe russia. yes. yeah. they had 3 games with all the well, that's why we're doing, we're, we're, we're ready for our lease for our conference learning. zalinski speaking that no russian forces have destroyed much of harrison's infrastructure before pulling out . but for residents, the important thing is that freedom ah days on from hassan's liberation, residents of all ages still haven't stopped celebrating. popularly thought. after 8

months of russian occupation there, overjoyed to see the ukrainian flag and ukrainian soldiers finally back shop knows that we have no electricity, no water, no internet, no communications, no heating. but there are no russians either, and that's why we're happy so rest will be restored, everything will be fine, we are happy, little ukraine is back, which is the most important thing in the whole miserable noise with much of the city's infrastructure destroyed volunteers have already begun distributing much needed aid to residents facing shortages of food medicine and water. but presidents zalinski has warned the russian occupation left far worse than just deprivation. in its wake. sleepless investigators have already documented more than 400 russian war crimes. bodies of both civilians and military are being found in

the hassan region, the russian army left the same savagery behind as in other regions of our country that it managed to invade good is all as 8 the while russian forces have pulled back over the now destroyed antonette ski bridge, which linked have san city to the russian controlled eastern bank of the nepa river . the city and its surrounding region remained well in range of moscow's artillery . but despite the danger and the deprivation in half sawn, the celebrations, go on over here. and i am now joined by domains hillis are almost so at russian secure text, but at king's college in london. do until we've seen a president zalinski there, reveling in his, in this victory this morning. a does that mean the city is now safe from russian attack? i think we can assume that i think we can assume that russia is not going to want

to. so, and i think all the destruction was already carried out there. they do a lot of the infrastructure in the communications on the water system. so i think now the focus is where focusing now are the areas around the world around the who are the, with the pressure. so i think that the lead thinking next line actually i think the culture moving to another direction as far as the russian. now, listening to a presidency lensky, the speaking this morning, he said that he was ready for peace bought. i'll be really any closer to piece now . i don't think we are reason i think.
