relationship is important for both our countries . as he met both our countries. as he met chinese president xi jinping on the fringes of the g20 summit in rio de janeiro . sir keir also rio de janeiro. sir keir also suggested a full uk china meeting in london or beijing as part of his desire for what he called consistent, durable, respectful ties between the two countries. sir keir starmer became the first prime minister to meet the chinese president since 2018, with world leaders attending the g20 summit in brazil. the pm says ukraine is top of his agenda and told reporters there's got to be full support as long as it takes. sir keir says we need to double down on support for ukraine, as president joe biden has given the green light for kyiv to use. us supplied long—range missiles to strike inside russia. president vladimir putin warned the west they would be throwing fuel on the fire if they allowed ukrainian forces to launch western supplied cruise and ballistic missiles at russia. this decision from biden seems to have been prompted by a move

from north korea, in which they've sent thousands of troops to fight with russia, shadow secretary of state for defence james cartlidge says the move from the us president is justified. >> russia invaded ukraine wholly unprovoked, illegal invasion, a dictatorship invading a democracy. so it's been the right thing to do to not be directly involved in ukraine, but to support them in whatever way we can in terms of providing munitions. that's helped ukraine to check their advance. but there's been a major development. we talk about escalation. imagine how the russians would feel if 10,000 nato troops were now in ukraine supporting them. the fact is, 10,000 north korean troops have been deployed into this battle. we understand the us state department, they've been injected directly into the fight with russia. that is a major strategic development. and i think in those circumstances, this decision is justified . this decision is justified. >> meanwhile, education secretary bridget phillipson told 6b secretary bridget phillipson told gb news earlier the

government are also committed to helping the ukrainian people. >> we stand steadfast behind the ukrainian people, behind the ukrainian people, behind the ukrainian government that was the case under the last conservative government and there was cross—party support in there was cross—party support in the face of russian aggression for the ukrainian people. we continue to maintain that position and as we enter almost a thousandth day of the conflict, i think it really bnngs conflict, i think it really brings into sharp focus the sacrifices of the ukrainian people and the prime minister and the defence secretary from our point of view, will always continue to keep under review what is necessary by way of military aid for the ukrainian people . people. >> elsewhere in politics, sir keir starmer says he's absolutely confident that the vast majority of farms and farmers will not be affected by changes to inheritance tax announced in the budget. the row over the taxes for farms worth more than £1 million continues, as the pm said last night that the money the government has put into the sector is not to be overlooked. a protest is expected in westminster tomorrow as farmers rally on whitehall
