2:16 am
i mean the, i'm demanding answers from notes on yahoo and the cabinet answers and dates looked at 7 o 2, we have no strings anymore. the robot israel has consumed the dates of norma fiano and 19 year old soldier, captured by him. us the militant group claim she died in israel is bombardment, but has not provided evidence of that. there is hope that the international community can help free the rest of the hostages. relatives have also demonstrated outside the you in the offices in geneva, or for hostages that have been released is a, an amazing stats, but these, that we still have $240.00 being kept that so were send, did you was, you know, i'm hopeful that my family would be released, but i don't think it's going to be as
2:17 am
a to be for 4 people kind of release is but more into an agreement with a big number of hostages and something more international diplomacy involved as the finding guys that shows no sign of leasing up matches. believe that, reminding the world about the hostages is the best chance of getting them out alive . let's take a look at some other stories making use around the world. do you end nuclear watchdog says iran now has enough enriched uranium for several atomic phones to run . denies is developing nuclear weapons, but the un agencies says iran has increased it to any uranium. sorry. stockpile. traces have also been fined undeclared sites. funds has issued an international arrest warrant for the syrian president, bashar al assad, for alleged crimes against humanity. aside is accused of ordering chemical attacks near damascus in 2013,
2:18 am
which kills more than 1400 people. the u. s. has released video footage of air strikes on target and eastern syria. washington says it targeted to training count and other facilities used by the iranian revolutionary guard corps. it says it is responding to attacks on us bases in syria and iraq. officials and finland accuse russia funnelling migrants towards its border more asylum seekers from iraq. gammon, somalia and sedan are adding to a recent search. finland says russia is directing migrants to crossing points along the frontier to brush and night where the supreme court has ruled the government's plan to send asylum seekers to rwanda is unlawful. the decision is a major blow to prime minister wishes to knock who's made tackling a legal immigration, a key policy pledge. he says his government is already working on a new treaty with rolanda and could change
2:19 am
u. k. low to make it happen. there want and government says it's unhappy that the court ruled that it's not a safe 3rd country for asylum seekers and refugees. desperate people making a desperate crossing. i mean, migrants take rubber boats across the english channel. a 32 kilometers journey to seek asylum in the u. k. more than $45000.00 to made the trip in 2022 more than $25000.00. so far this year, over a $175000.00 people are awaiting a 1st decision on asylum claims overall. britain's conservative government has made its plan to the port asylum seekers to rewan to the centerpiece of a policy intended to deter people from making the crossing. in april 2022, the home secretary struck a deal with a rewan this foreign minister to send people there while their claims are being processed. a 6500 kilometers flight from britain to central africa, the u. k. has already invested over a $100000000.00 euros in the plan. hotels and rwanda had been converted into
2:20 am
lodgings for migrants. still sitting empty. as the plan soon ran into legal challenges. the 1st flight scheduled to depart a military air base and june 2022 was imported and an appeals court has since ruled the plan unconstitutional. critics say the plan isn't just on lawful and inhumane, but wasteful and expensive to one government assessment says that removing an individual would cost $60000.00 pounds more per year than keeping them in the u. k . it's also unclear just how much of a deterrent effect the plan would ever have. and despite all that, there have also been calls from within the european union to adopt a similar scheme. eager to cut down on migration. other countries have seen the plan as a possible model. dw correspondent charlotte chosen pill in london, told us, hired the supreme court decision has been perceived by the public. this was best
2:21 am
uh now its proposed 18 months ago. been huge, a huge the controversial as public. lots very the critical of this decision, some of this a proposal, some uh, branding it crew, but of course, the government who suggested this thinking that there are some possible vices, he will support it. there is an election coming up expected by the end of next year . that the conservative governments trading in the poles at the moment they clearly sold that this was a way of getting people on the side. but as i say, a lot of very, very critical voices of this policy. and i'm joined now by the see of the refugee council and the sullivan. he's here. can you give me your reaction now to this really? okay, well, we're breaking in and i are to us president joe biden, who said he's made real progress and towards the chinese leader. let's listen in 10 years. i mean, i mean,
2:22 am
we can very straightforward. we have numbers agreed with them. and david, straightforward, and, and a downward maybe later on as, as several months i, my level obviously between our teams may made some important progress. i believe. first, i'm pleased to announce that after many years of being on hold, we are restarting cooperation between united states and t. r. c. counter narcotics . in 2019, you may remember the china took action greatly reduce the amount of fentanyl shipped directly from china to united states. near since that time, challenges evolved from finish fentenol, the fentenol chemical ingredients, and in 2 oppressors, which are being shipped without control. and by the way, some of these tools will be the surgeon and other drugs like cocaine. a lot of people are, di, more people, nice stays between the age of 1849 die from fentenol, then from guns, car accidents, or any other cause period. so today with this new understanding,
2:23 am
we're taking action to significantly reduce the flow of precursor chemicals and po presses from china to the question, how much it's going to save lives. and i appreciate presence, she's commitment on this issue present. she and i trash ortiz to maintain a policy and law enforcement coordination going forward to make sure it works. i also want to thank by far as from the rational validation china led by the leader schumer in october for supporting efforts, so the separate so strong. secondly, and this is a critically important for re assuming military to military contact, direct contacts as to why the press no follow this. that's been cut off has been were worse, and i saw acts and this happens. misunderstandings. so we're back to direct open, clear, correct communications on the right fit on the, on the direct, very vital miscalculations on the side. i can or can cause real trouble
2:24 am
by doubling the task. so as to trying to see right now i understand. and so i think we're made real progress there as well. in fairly, we're going to get our experts together, discuss risk and safety issues associated with artificial intelligence. as many of you travel with me around the world, almost everywhere i go, every major leader wants to talk about the impact of our expression. tell us is these are tangible steps in the right direction to determine what is useful and what's not useful. pushed dangerous and wants to accept more over. there are evidence of cases that, that i've made all along. the united states will continue to compete vigorously disappear. i see. but we'll manage that competition responsibly. so it doesn't appear in the conflict or accidental conflict and where it's possible, where our interests are coincide, we're going to work together like we do not offend. that's what the world expects
2:25 am
of us. the rest school expect matches, and people in china, united states, but the rest, the world expects that of us. and that's what the united states is going to be doing today. presidency and i also exchange use on a range of regional and global issues including pressures, refusal and brutal war to stop the war and war of aggression against ukraine and conflicts. and gosh, and as always to i raised areas where the united states has concerns about the p r . c's actions including detained an x and an x band, us citizens, human rights and correct to the course of activities in the south china sea. we discussed all 3 of those things. i gave them names of individuals who we think are being held and hopefully we can get them released as well. no agreement, no agreement, houses trusting ports and pieces to build the taiwan straits. it's clear that we objects to be to be, to base things, non market economic practices and disadvantages to that disadvantage american
2:26 am
businesses and workers and it will continue to address them and i name what i thought number of those were i welcome the positive steps. we've taken today and it's important for the world to see that we're implementing the approach in the best traditions of american diplomacy. we're talking to our competitors, an a kia and just just talking just me lot with one another. so there's nobody's understand. this is a key element to maintaining global stability delivery to the american people. in the months of head, we're going to continue to preserve and pursue high level diplomacy, the p r. c, and both directions. keep the lines of communication open, including retreat, presidents sheets, and me p, and i agree that these are what else could pick up the phone call directly on whether you heard of me. and that's now i'd like to be able to take some questions . and i told that dimitry of the financial times as the 1st question
2:27 am
of thank you. and as an irishman, i apologize for bringing the rain. oh my god, i wouldn't be called on if i'd known it not to just go ahead fires to be present, particularly about america. explain your role into major global pricey and ukraine on the gas side. is that all to your previous equipment to defend taiwan from any chinese milk reaction to choosing thing outlined the conditions under which find a way to talk by one hour, at a rate. what i've said, since i've become present on whatever the previous president of late has said that we uh, we maintain the agreement, that there is a one china policy and that, and i'm not gonna change that. that's not gonna change. and so that's about the extent to which we discussed the next question, sorry, was bloomberg. it appears among the other
2:28 am
issues that your agreement with the present the over fentanyl would require require a lot of trust and verification to ensure success. curbing those drugs, those. i'm wondering after today and considering all that you've been through in the past year, would you say, mr. president, that you trust presidency? and secondly, if i could on tie one, you've you in your administration, official of warren presidency and try to sign a about interference. the upcoming elections, i'm wondering what would the consequences be if they do in fact or if you're on the selection? well i may have that discussion with the 2 very clear. i didn't expect any interference. and, you know, do we have that discussion was seriously, what do i trust you? i trusted, verifies, and all st goes, that's where i am. and you know, we're a competitive relationship. china in united states. but my responsibility is to,
2:29 am
to make it to make this rational and manageable. so it, so it doesn't result in conflict. that's what i'm all about. so this is about to find a place where we can come together and where we find mutual interest that. but most importantly, from my perspective that are interested in american people, that's what this is about. and that's exactly what we'll do. you know, for a situation where we agree that the fentenol has prepared this precursors will be curved substantially. and the pill precious. that's a big, that's a big moment. they're doing this and by the way, uh, you know, i'm, i guess i shouldn't identify where it occurred. john, i know 2 people near where i live. or kids literally as a set of exchanges for they woke up that someone inserted in whether the amended or
2:30 am
not inserted in uh uh, chargers taking them again. i, i don't, i hope you don't have any experience with knowing, but this is the largest killer people in that age category. and, you know, i guess the other thing i think is most important is that uh since i've, i've spent more time with present. she's in the world leader. it has just because we were vice president of his president who was president who are not making a joke. president who and, and the president obama thought we should get to know one another when appropriate for the present stage to be walking in with a vice president. so we met if i'm not mistaken, i think it was 68 hours of just face to face discussion of assignment, tennis interpreter. so i think i know that man,
2:31 am
i know his motive sat for on that he's been. we have disagreements as with different views and i have him a lot of things, but he's been straight. i don't mean those good, bad, or indifferent. just been straight. and so, you know, we, as i said, the thing that i find most assurance is he raised and i fully agree that he's the one of us have any concern mr. investor. any concern about anything between our nations are happening in our region? we should pick up the phone, call one another. i will take the call as an important progress, a virus and i think of cbs, but i can't remember who is cbs, i'm sorry. surprised that. ok. sorry. i apologize. i can stress parts fine. not the past. here's,
2:32 am
there's one in mind, rush and aircraft and stuff or you know, if that is oh you're in, but that issue warning that well 1st of all, none of it did end up with the concept. the number one, number 2, you may recall i did a few little things like that. the quad together allow securely to have access to new summaries. movie in the direction of work with the philippines. so our actions speak louder and i were chiefly understands out as it
2:33 am
in and out of that is there is we also said that that's awesome. so when way again, the number of the week by the house is operation. right? yes. we do discuss this by the way, we can't let it get out of control. here's the situation. you have a circumstance where the 1st 4 crimes being committed by a mosque by having their headquarters or military hidden under hosp. and that's a fact that's a tap. israel did not go in with large number of troops to not rage and not rushing down economy. and they've done it with their soldiers. carried weapons or guns.
2:34 am
they were told the to be precise. we've discussed the need for them to be incredibly careful. you have a circumstance where, you know, there is a fair number from us. a terrorist mouse has already said publicly because they plan on attacking israel again. like i did before. very cutting babies hands off to birmingham birdie women and children in law. and so the idea that they're gonna just stop and not do anything is not realistic. this is not the carpet bombing, this is a different thing. they're going through these thomas are going in the hospital. and if you notice, i was mildly preoccupied today. i apologize. i didn't see everything but, but i did see whether i haven't, has it confirmed yet? i am asked my team and to answer the questions about what happened is there also bringing in incubators for bringing in other other means to help people in the
2:35 am
hospital. and they've given the doctors and i'm told the doctors and nurses and the personal opportunity to get out of harm's way. so this is a different story and i believe it was a cat occurring before an indiscriminate who i got washington post. i think that's right. there your sorry i can see my you're watching extended coverage here on the w and use us president joe biden has been talking about his meeting with chinese president. she jane paying lots to talk, but some positive outcomes on other things to work on. so i want to bring in our us correspondent, janelle jamalia and, and san francisco, journalist, bobby, and chrysler in beijing. janelle, i once come to you 1st for the us perspective, joe biden went into this meeting, trying to land ties with china. did he get what he wanted?
2:36 am
no, i think it's important to realize from the outset that divided administration took pains to manage expectations ahead of this meeting. it was almost as if they wanted to key outcome of this meeting to be the meeting itself to be able to show that these 2 leaders are able to talk to one another. but as far as i can tell, he divided his remarks into 2 areas. so one dealing with the outcomes where he can point to certain kinds of achievements where he's able to say that they've agreed on areas a cooperation. he mentioned, he mentioned narcotics. he mentioned military to military communication. he also mentioned artificial intelligence and with the other half of the speech, he mentioned concerns like what he sees as china is provocative activities in the south china sea and around taiwan as well as human human rights issues. and americans to detain ease in china, where he was careful to say no agreement had been reached on those. but going back
2:37 am
to the things that he wanted, that he managed to achieve. 2 of those are very t military to military communications. this was a key, a for a bite in because of having that communication back up minimizes, of course, the chance of miscalculation the chance that these 2 sides will misunderstand each other and could somehow explode into conflict. the other one was of course, so very important for biden as well in terms of getting she to agree to co operate with him, the on restricting the flow of precursor chemicals used to make offend to know. we know that the us is reeling from it over a crisis. so in being able to bring this up, bite in is going to be able to show american voters that he still has a domestic concerns on his vide, even as he follows it out, or talks it out rather the change in ping on the geo political stage. so all i know
2:38 am
he did get some of what he wanted, and this is something that the biden administration will definitely highlight in the coming days as a successful summit. there's a nice hobby unless get the china perspective from you. what, what are the stakes for? she going into this meeting of the weather is a lot at stake also. um from the point of view of seating ping um let me point out just 2 aspects. um the 1st one regarding the economy. i mean, china is really suffering from um, you know, the uh, worsening um the relationship with the west end is specifically with the us. um for example, uh, chinese tech companies. they are suffering from the, you know, export control of their cut off from u. s. technology, but also the western in west us right now they are holding back their money. um, the international companies, they are putting out their profits from the chinese market. so seating thing has a lot of incentives to, you know, repair it. it's tice with um, um the us that you can see that the community and the numbers just several years
2:39 am
ago, a china was basically on a trajectory to a bypass the u. s. in terms of gdp in terms of absolute numbers. now that seems rather unlikely. um, the china china has slipped down to just 64 percent of the u. s. level of g d p. so that is really very clear, but even more essentially, i think also in china you have an increasing amount of experts, the intellectual, it's academics to say that a wall between those 2 countries could be more likely. and we have to be careful. and i think for this, you know, communication and a higher level of communication is essential to prevent any further escalation. now, janelle, the dispute over taiwan was probably the most explosive issue on the agenda, or at least one of them. a white has special has nice said that she indicates in that meeting that china is not preparing to invade taiwan. how big of a deal is this for the us?
2:40 am
so it is quite a big deal. and taiwan is a, one of those topics that will always come up when the us china have to talk to one another for she's part, it was important for him to hear from us again that the u. s. does not, in fact support the taiwanese independence that the u. s. is not looking to back any particular party or candidates when on the tie, when you use a go to elections next year. now for joe biden, spart, he was interested in getting reassurance from she didn't think that it would not do that. china would not do anything to force the u. s. has happened in terms of having to defend taiwan if the event of an attack came. so the fact that she did say that they were not going to attack to one is something that could, that could potentially be a big source of relief for the us at the moment. now we know that the u. s. is
2:41 am
currently supporting ukraine as a, as a defends itself against russia. it's also supporting israel and it's about a week from us. and really, you know what the us does not want at this particular moment is any other theatre of conflict opening up whether it's in the, in the pacific or anywhere else. so any reassurance that she didn't think could provide him on that front would be welcome to use for the white house. and janelle, staying with you in which areas has vide inside, there has been positive movement. well as i outlined earlier, military to military communications was was one of the key things for vida and now it was also one of the key indicators that ties had hit an all time low. so you remember that there was a military to military communications,
2:42 am
were suspended because of a visit from former house speaker, nancy pelosi to taiwan in august of last year that had angered aging and they had suspended on suspended military to military communication. now if you fast forward a few months later, it's like you had this 5 balloon incident, which also represented another lo and relations a for the u. s. and china. and that was where they, you guys taught down a chinese fibers. and that was gathering intelligence over in north america, and when the pentagon went to called aging, in order to discuss this incident, no one came to the phone. so the fact that basically, joe biden now has assurance is that someone will come to the phone and he even mentioned that he now he and children ping will have a direct line to each other. they will simply pick up the phone and, and call each other. the communication has been a vital priority for joe biden, and this is the thing that he will highlight as a, as a particularly big move as
2:43 am
a particularly big achievement in the summit. yeah, it definitely seems like there is some real progress there, hopefully at least 5 and coming back to you. china has long painted the us as its main adversary. but at the start of this meeting, she took so much of a softer tone. stressing the importance of china's relationship with us. kindness be seen as some was of um, a piece offering or an olive branch if you will, split maybe to some degree. but um, if you look into the details, i think it's small and people end um, uh, for example here, the public messaging towards the chinese people. it was rather we have to respect each other, but it should not provoke each other and also not cross the red lines. so i think the emphasis is a little bit different, but yet some of the, you know, statements by seating ping, according to the chinese readout. what quite modest. he said that china has no plan to surpass the u. s. and also, um, but you know,
2:44 am
the speaking of to accommodate both countries and that we don't want to, you know, endanger the position of the u. s. i mean, those, those statements are rafa you know, um, yeah, i would say i'm reaching out and diplomatically, but um, but let me also emphasize it. but there was a lot of mentioned about the areas of cooperation. if you look at the chinese read out, it's also important to note that what's, what's not been mentioned and in the chinese is not a statement. you cannot hear a word about ukraine. also the conflict and gaza was not mentioned. and that gives you an idea that on those areas, i mean, there's definitely no priority in cooperating with the us. okay. well lots to think about there and fabia and one last question for you. this meeting comes almost exactly a year ahead of the $22.00 inch for us presidential election. and current polls show that there is a chance that former president donald trump could be re elected. and trump has been very vocal in his criticism of china. so how does the prospect of
2:45 am
a president trump 2 point oh play in to she's approached to the us and is it likely to impact his commitment to the agreements that were made at this meeting? oh yeah, definitely. so uh, from the chinese side. um, i mean if you have reason to be very cautious when dealing with a gas because um, you know that, uh, in one. yeah. maybe the agreements that you uh, you know, agreed on could be what this could be used for this because um, uh, trump is seen. he has very unpredictable but only in terms of people who suspense towards china. i mean, uh, basically bite and continue. it's um, uh trumps. relatively, um, strict policy towards china. um it's in some areas i think he even enforced further sanctions and etc. so just in terms of contents, the difference is actually not so stock. but at the, the main difference is the trumpet seen as a very unpredictable while a bite and keeps, you know, diplomatic courtesy and it's much more predictable as dealing with them. so i think
2:46 am
that always place in the role when seating thing is dealing with the current us presidency. all we test on the back of the mind that you know, trump could be the next president and that many of the agreements could be with us by then. well, lots to look. yeah, let look into the future for it will be wage and see how that all hands out. so i've been quite smart in beijing and us correspondent, janelle jamalia and san francisco. thank you so much to both of you. well this much anticipated meeting in san francisco between chinese president change and paying and his us kind of part, joe biden was watched carefully by a particular group of people in the u. k. for democracy activists from hong kong, thousands fled to the u. k. following beijing's crack done on democratic rights in the u. k. these hong kong has continued to voice their hopes for democracy back
2:47 am
home. the pre own home from the x on in london to now find the democracy back home. despite the risks, the hong kong government is offering a bounty of over 100000 euros for his capture, including myself, of this token of the most efficient as has a process to my life. as well as my unwavering quest for the mol chrissy is essentially to transnational repression. the aims and crushing older voices as pro democracy across the globe. hong kong, most ortiz issued arrest warrants defend now and 7 of the overseas activists accusing them of national security offences. hong kong has had a special administrative status since since hyundai says from britain to china in 1997. it's based on the principle of one country to systems. but beijing has increasingly ramped up its control of the territory. 4 years ago,
2:48 am
hundreds of thousands of people from hong kong took to the streets to demonstrate against beijing's interference fin. now, a survey by profession was one of the leaders. at the time he spent 2 days in police, custody of to which he fled to person. these days it's only a small rep present to st, protesting in london in hong kong itself. hardly any one does to publicly criticize a chinese government withdrawing the world one day, often on intense myself. and we have witnessed our system at a brochure and all of our freedoms as well as democracy and autonomy. and then right now we have more than 1600 food increase in the surfing the lives in the home comprises. now speaks of intimidation, even in london. he thinks it's likely attempts could be made to kidnap him and has spoken of an incident shortly after his arrival in britain, where he was brutally
2:49 am
b, not by a group of strangers. the british government does not want to expedite fin now and says, no attempts to intimidates in science, people will be tolerated. we've repeatedly us the chinese embassy in london for statement, but haven't received a reply. the pro democracy protest as much 3, london's joining the town. and now things person needs to toughen it stones towards beijing, impose sanctions on hong kong officials and detach itself economically from china. they may be focal regarding hong kong issue. the, on the other hand, we have some ministers or maybe some, some other people would pursue for more trading with, with china, increasing our dependency on the chinese market. i would say, well, we must well change from this kind of inconsistent approach in london. and now, and the other activists can express their opinions publicly in front of the chinese
2:50 am
embassy. they dream that one day this will be possible again in hong kong to the meeting between change in paying andro by then comes a mid as we hired earlier high trade tensions between the 2 sides. the u. s. has put chinese companies on blacklists for investment, beijing has responded, for example, with an investigation of apples operations in china bots are the world's 2 largest academies. decoupling. well, not really. the chinese companies in every sector are having a tough time in the us. several new tires have been imposed by us present, joe biden, on top of the ones initiated by he's pretty assessor donald trump. but while dozens of chinese companies are now blacklisted, trade between the world's 2 largest economies is too high. in 2022, the us exported a $154000000000.00 worth of goods to china. and chinese imports were even higher at
2:51 am
$537000000000.00. that's a trade deficit of $383000000000.00. but us continues to restrict ship exports to china to protect this sensitive technology in areas like a i, aerospace and defense, an american come ons. and these sectors may so no longer be able to invest in china without restrictions last year. a lot of us money still flowed into china. us direct investments in china increased by $12000000000.00 in 2022. but china invested less chinese direct investments in the us fell by $1300000000.00 the last to year. despite for us to relations, but us on china, i economically intertwined. let's take a look at some other story is making use around the world. germany's top court has ruled that the government may not re purpose funds intended to combat the coven. 19 pandemic for use and clement projects,
