the report was published just in time for the visit of british foreign secretary james cleverley.ally the british of the people's republic of china they did not appear for 5 years, they were limited to discussing and condemning china in their own political kitchen. now the british minister has come to china and recorded a video of forgiveness to his subscribers in having already praised himself on twitter for having arrived and promised to read the notation to the chinese, read is a challenge to our values ​​​​and our principles. of course, i will raise such a topic as human rights in hong kong at a meeting with vice president of the people's republic of china han jong cleverly spoke much more cautiously than alone with their subscribers, the chinese authorities did not react in any way to the moralizing about human rights, they failed to put pressure on beijing and on the russian issue, the times when the british could put pressure on china, the opium wars remain in history, it is important that countries like ours regularly talk to each other in order to improve mutual understan

the foreign secretary james cleverley from the uk has travelled to beijing.ries is likely to top the agenda but there are many other thorny issues to discuss. for example, britain is unhappy over china's growing military support of russia in its war in ukraine. london has also voiced concerns about china's crackdown in hong kong as well as its ongoing treatment of the uyghurs. the governments of britain and china really want these talks to go ahead. but even after five years, because relations between the chinese government and western nations are certainly not smooth, you would expect at least some level of tensions. when the uk foreign secretary sits down with his chinese counterpart, wang yi. and these are also not smooth waters to navigate forjames cleverly, because there are backbenchers in his own party who don't even want him here in the first place. they would argue that the chinese government is now beyond the point of no return when it comes to authoritarianism. so they want more so—called decoupling. that means less contact with china on all fronts

james cleverley has been speaking to our china correspondent stephen mcdonnell. government figure was finally back in the chinese capital. the foreign secretary was here to rebuild relations with an economic giant but he was copping flak back home from some in his own party for talking to an ever more oppressive government. yet james cleverly told the bbc that a loss of face—to—face interaction risks promoting misinterpretations, mistrust and errors. well, ifundamentally disagree with those voices, including people i regard as good friends, who feel that we should disengage from china. i don't think that is a credible option. i do believe we have influence and i do believe that we should use that influence. but, i mean, can you point to any breakthroughs on any trips like this in the past which have actually changed human rights on the ground here, something concrete? i am realistic that that influence is not going to have an instant reaction, which is why we have to be patient and we have to be consistent. and that is why i bring up issues around human rights, x

also tonight, cleverley goes to china. but what is in it for the uk? says he is "clear eyed" about the disagreements between the two countries. we will assess whether how far the diplomacy will go. and a 56—year dynasty comes to an end in gabon — another coup, the eighth in former french colonies injust the past three years. good evening. idalia's power has waned some as it heads towards georgia, but maximum sustained winds were still over 100 miles per hour. and it's worth remembering a storm's category doesn't necessarily indicate how much damage there will be. this storm surge that was pushed into the big bend area of the gulf coast peaked at 15 feet high. and that area of north—west florida acts like a giant baseball mitt, it's flat, it's low lying, there's every reason to fear that the waters will have washed right over it. the federal emergency management agency said idalia is the strongest storm to make landfall in this part of florida in more than 100 years. more than a quarter of a million people in florida and another 100,000 in georgia are w
