The Biden Administration sits down with Chinese officials to discuss everything from cyber attacks, human rights and trade. Ten years after the Arab Spring inspired a revolution in Syria, President Assad remains in power, we take a look at the state of the country after years of war. In the business news we find out about how Paris and many other parts of France are set to go into lockdown again as the country fears a third wave of coronavirus. And we hear from a village in Mali that has been under siege by jihadists for 5 months.
