mr. trump, steve mnuchin, or xi jinping?ning -- .> good morning, manus and anna the names you have listed are at the top of the agenda. what the markets are focused on his trade. weakness coming through following the losses we saw yesterday. what is interesting in asia is we have seen much of the downward pressure focus on south korea with the cosby lower than i lower by more than 1%. also, the shanghai composite deepening some of its kick lines -- some of its declines, off by 2/10 of 1%. chinese equities have been in focus with the offshore yuan still under pressure today. if we put this in context, because we keep harking back to the 2015 devaluation, over the past five months, we have seen the shanghai composite lose almost $2 trillion, but go back to 2015 and that was more like $5 trillion. to put that in context, at least in the equity space, it is not quite like 2015. take a look at what is happening in fx. the south korean won is one of the worst-performing major currencies. the new zealand dollar is the worst-perform

xi jinping. the chinese leader is praising kim for how he handled the sit-down with mr. trump. s is in beijing. this is extraordinary in the amount of meetings the two have had. this is the third meeting between xi jinping and kim jong-un in beijing in as many months. >> reporter: yeah. i think, poppy, if you ask most experts on that this topic, six months ago would by june, the middle of june, we have seen these two men meet in china three separate times, i think you would have gotten a resounding no from most experts but here we are. kim jong-un making a surprising visit here to meet with xi jinping to talk about that summit to brief xi jinping about the summit, to talk about what was said between donald trump and kim jong-un, maybe what didn't make it into the statement, maybe how north korea actually views the definition of denuclearization. what is clear is that china will have a role in these negotiations moving forward. at the same time these two men are meeting, despite president trump last friday saying he planned plan ed to talk to north korea over the weekend, that ca

mr. donnelly. just because we did discuss how president xi jinping is dictator for life. >> if you could introduce yourself. >> alec bickerstaff, d.c. can you transfer that model of bourbon, france, to the presidency itself? and if yes, is president xi jinping, is he more louie xiv or is he more like napoleon? [ laughter ] >> well, from a british perspective, it was really hard to tell the difference between the louis. some louises were more efficient than others. but, look, i do think the fact that -- first of all, it's not like the chinese government was a model of democracy and representation to begin with, but it does -- the fact that he is, you know, going to be there, solidifying his hold on power in beijing and i think most importantly what's chip mentioned he's asserted this robust, masculine nationalism. and he's put a whole host of markers on the wall, that at least for the time being, seem to have a, you know, help to bring people -- chinese people together, to rally them around that. but if he fails -- it would be hard for him to fail. it would really undercut his power, if he fails to

mr president, or sir‘, he told the student. kimjong un gets to meet all the most important people these days. last week donald trump. this week xi jinpingdays. a lavish affair. here's mr kim's convoy in beijing. these are pictures from the welcome ceremony. it's not being billed as a formal visit but well it certainly looks like one. what's also interesting is that we knew this was coming, the last two visits have not been announced in advance. they, along with the rest of us, are trying to sketch out what, if anything, the singapore summit with donald trump adds up to. we will have to see what emerges from that. we've also heard from south korea on the pausing of its military exercises with america. north korea and china are delighted about that. here's an alternative perspective from south korea's foreign minister. translation: regarding south korea and an usjoint offence, both countries are preparing diligently without any trouble and will continue to do so. also, on the issue of north korea, we are expecting corresponding measures as we decide to suspend joint drills. here's the analysis of vincent ni from the bbc‘s chinese service.

today mike pompeo met with chinese president xi jinping and other leaders in beijing— explaining what came out of the meeting in singapore. mrce to apply pressure. japan, the republic of korea and china have acknowledged that we turned the corner and we have begun a process away from the threat of warand a process away from the threat of war and towards these on the peninsula. each of those three countries to have acknowledged the importance of the work that president trump has undertaken and the commitment that kim jong—un has made towards library and to achieve the denuclearization. each of those three countries has also acknowledged it's important that the regime that is in place today remain in place until such time as that denuclearization is in fact complete. the us state of new york is taking president trump's charitable foundation to court for what it calls "persistent illegal conduct" — including supporting his election campaign. it's asked for the trump foundation to be dissolved , and for the president, his sons donald junior, and eric, and his daughter ivanka to be banned from holding roles with new york charitie

xi jinping. and maybe he is looking to take advantage of the growing rift between the two superpowers. mrich the chinese say they will "strike back hard" with me now is vincent ni, from the bbc‘s chinese service. the first time the kim jong—un went to china, he went in an armoured train and we got the pictures while after the event. today we see him in the grand hall of the people, xi jinping rolling out the red carpet and we get the photos whilst he is still in china. what does that tell us? what it tells us is this is a major boost for kim jong—un's reputation, serious international geopolitical player. it also i think he does not go to china without any strings attached. he wants china to lobby the united nations security council to lift the sanctions for it. i suppose the chinese will much obliged to say, yes, we are going to help you. but we do not know how the security council is going to respond. he wants that help to help them when they are changing their economic policies. i guess for the chinese, there is also something to gain from it, the fact that china releases photos before

mr putin as a ready had talks with hassan or a whiny the iranian president no doubt the iran nuclear deal would have been something key on the agenda given the announcements yesterday from china's president xi jinping and putin on their commitment to the iran nuclear deal to keep that deal alive to maintain peace and stability in the region but it wasn't all hard work and also did find time for some relaxation in the form of a little. cooking masterclass. looking very. different so. much goes to the ultimate goal of the. ever present or whoever goes over for an exchange of gifts has also become a bit of a tradition for the russian president at these sorts of summits of these sorts of events and a lot of speculation going on as to what exactly he would present this year to his chinese counterpart we've got the answer today and that's an entire russian bathhouse made apparently over two hundred year old treat the chinese delegation seem happy they said they would assemble that as soon as possible something. for the chinese president xi relaxing after his busy day of meetings and events so very much a tightly packed show jewel and everyone here in a discipline of course for the speeches tomorrow by sh

mr. president. on the sanctions campaign you alluded that the chinese are not doing as great a job as securing the border as they were before. you expressed doubts when kim went to see president xi jinping, the foreign minister said there should not be sanctions while negotiations are underway. the south koreans are talking about restoring some form of trade. with all those players appearing to be moving toward eroding sanctions, how can you keep sanctions n plac? what leverage do you have on these countries? pres. trump: we have a lot of leverage, tremendous leverage. i believe that china, despite my relationship with president xi, a man i have great respect for like a lot, we are having very tough talks on trade and that probably affects china somewhat. but i have to do what i have to do. the the last two months, border is more open than when we first started. we have to do it. deficit inremendous trade, commonly known as a trade deficit. we have a tremendous deficit in trade with china, we have to do something about it. we cannot continue to let that happen. i think that has had an impact on my relationship in terms of the border. i don't think it has a relationship, i don't think it
