Biden-Xi concluded virtual talks

Newsday

Available for over a year

We take a look at what happened at the first virtual meeting between the US and Chinese leaders, where both were seemingly looking to de-escalate difficulties between the two superpowers. Climate activists say the watering down of the COP26 commitment to end coal use is a disaster for the planet. We speak to an Australian Senator who says believes the summit was a "huge win for coal." And an enquiry set up by Nigerian authorities to investigate the shooting of protesters at Lekki Gate last year, has submitted a damning report about what happened at this protest.
