daniel russell, thank you so much for your insights. thank you, helena.e have just experienced across the uk. for six consecutive days we saw temperatures on or above 30 degrees. that was a september record and on saturday, we saw the highest temperature we have seen this year, with 33 degrees. the weather story will change though over the next couple of days with the introduction of this pretty slow—moving weather front. it will gradually change the wind direction to more of a north—westerly, which is going to introduce, slowly, some fresher air from the north. but before that, we've got quite a muggy feel out there and some sharp thundery downpours pushing in from the south—west over the next few hours. temperatures first thing sunday morning will be sitting mid—to high teens, quite widely across england and wales. a little bit fresher, particularly to the north—west of the great glen. but please bear that in mind if you have got a ticket for the start line for the great north run. it's going to be a muggy old story and there will be a lot of sunshine a

daniel russell, thank you so much for your insights. thank you, helena.m, despite president xijinping not attending the summit. i just spoke to former deputy assistant secretary of state alyssa ayres, now at the george washington university, about how that has impacted the meeting. i want to begin with notably who was absent from this 620 summit. the chinese president xijinping. what do summit. the chinese president xi jinping. what do you think the impact will be of him skipping the summit? well, he missed an _ skipping the summit? well, he missed an opportunity - skipping the summit? well, he missed an opportunity to - skipping the summit? well, he | missed an opportunity to weigh in and take part in what seems to have been a very successful 620. he was absent, it looked as if china didn't care as much. he had an important consensus declaration that came out, affirming the importance of making progress unsustainable development goals, affirming, making good progress on multilateral development reform. i think this was a good outcome in china just didn't

daniel russell, thank you so much for your insights. thank you, helena.a sea. as we've heard, the us has invested heavily there to counter china. earlier, my colleague carl nasman spoke to brucejones, of the brookings institution on the us' relations with india and more. the region is very keen to have more america to balance the more china that they are confronted with. 0bama tried to strengthen ties in asia, trump — in his own way — strengthened some of the ties in asia, biden is doing the same, but it's really the region that has changed. it's a reaction to chinese overreach to the military build—up, to the pressure, which is seeing this it is kind of a poison pill. this is all sorts of reasons why india is important to the us strategically. so quite frankly, the administration is not vertically focused on the internal democratic questions. they get raised, they are there, but they are minor compared to the strategic picture. compared to the strategic icture. ., ., ~' compared to the strategic icture. ., ., ~ ., ., compared to the strategic icture. .,

daniel russell is a former assistant secretary of state for east asia and pacific under president 0bamale for each of the three because they have a tremendously important economic relationship as well as because they are cheap to gel neighbours in a very difficult neighbourhood, but clearly the chinese needed more than the japanese and the koreans at this particular moment. there is some irony there because it was the japanese who walked away from the trilateral format backin away from the trilateral format back in 2019 when they got angry at the south koreans over the deployment of a defensive system to protect against north korea. president xijinping does not attend these trilateral talks, normally it is, it has historically never been the chinese president, it's always been the prime minister who in china is nominally in charge of the economy, so at the heart, this is about the economic relationship among the three, but as you pointed out, it's really driven now by geopolitics.- really driven now by geopolitics. given china because _ geopolitics. given china because my _ geopolitics.
