1
Good evening.
2
The US and Chinese presidents appear to have put their differences aside today in Beijing,
3
meeting for what was a largely cordial first day at their highly anticipated summit.
4
Xi Jinping told Donald Trump they should be partners rather than rivals,
5
and that cooperation would benefit both of them.
6
But with less than 24 hours left until the US president is due to apart,
7
there are still no signs of any major breakthroughs.
8
Everybody knows what Donald Trump likes.
9
Less clear was if China would be willing to deliver it.
10
It did.
11
Sent out to receive him,
12
Vice President Hang Zheng, a higher ranking official than on his last visit,
13
but one who's largely a figurehead,
14
seen by some as a sign China is choosing symbolism over substance.
15
All of it designed to make this moment easier.
16
The two presidents finally face-to-face at the Great Hall of the People.
17
Inspecting a military honour guard and greeting a contingent of cheering children before the real work began.
18
Donald Trump making little reference to the animosity of the last year.
19
Say it to everybody, you're a great leader.
20
Sometimes people don't like me saying it,
21
but I say it anyway because it's true.
22
It's an honour to be your friend and the relationship between China
23
and the USA is going to be better than ever before.
24
And quick to signal his priorities.
25
We have the greatest businessmen,
26
the biggest, and I guess the best in the world.
27
We have amazing people and they're all with me,
28
every single one of them,
29
And they look forward to trade and doing business,
30
and it's going to be totally reciprocal on our behalf.
31
President Xi's tone far more circumspect.
32
Can we, in the interest of our world,
33
of our two peoples, and the future of humanity,
34
build a brighter future for our bilateral relations?
35
These are the questions vital to history,
36
to the world, and to the people.
37
They are the questions of our times that you and I need to answer as leaders of major countries.
38
They spoke behind closed doors for two hours,
39
twice as long as expected.
40
President Xi saying China's door will open wider to American businesses,
41
before Beijing announced it would renew export licenses for hundreds of American beef processing plants.
42
Next stop, the Temple of Heaven.
43
This is where Chinese emperors used to pray for a good harvest.
44
Today, both leaders are looking for the same thing and recognising they'll likely need each other's help to find one.
45
And our international correspondent, Claudia Farhat,
46
joins us now from Taipei.
47
Good evening, Claudia.
48
We witnessed there plenty of pleasantries at the summit today,
49
but it sounds like Taiwan was a point of contention at that closed-door meeting.
50
Absolutely.
51
Janice, Donald Trump was very eager to keep the focus on trade,
52
but China made it very clear,
53
very quickly, that its top priority was Taiwan.
54
It was really interesting to see
55
that the first thing Chinese state media reported out of
56
that closed-door meeting was that President Xi had told President Trump that if the issue of Taiwan was managed well,
57
then the US and China could go on to have good relations.
58
But he said if it wasn't,
59
it could lead to a dangerous situation and,
60
in his words, even bring them into conflict.
61
We were anticipating ahead of this summit
62
that President Xi was going to ask Donald Trump to delay weapons deals or even dial down future weapons deals to Taiwan.
63
We don't know how Donald Trump responded to that request if it was indeed made today,
64
but for Taiwan's part it came out incredibly quickly after
65
that announcement from Chinese state media
66
and said it had been speaking with Washington in the lead up to the summit
67
and had its assurances that it would continue to have its support.
68
Well, plenty of people watching.
69
So what's next for Presidents Trump and Xi?
70
In a couple hours' time,
71
they will be sitting down for a state banquet in Donald Trump's honour.
72
Then tomorrow, there will be a tea ceremony between them
73
and then a working lunch for the two leaders before Donald Trump heads off.
74
So they still have a little bit of face time together, the two leaders.
75
But so far, we haven't really seen much in the way of firm commitments.
76
Yes, there was that announcement on American beef,
77
but we know there was a lot more on the agenda coming into this summit.
78
Their trade war, for example,
79
rare earth minerals, semiconductors, and even the war in the Middle East.
80
And those issues we haven't heard so much about yet.
81
So while yes, Donald Trump will no doubt be happy with the very warm welcome he received in Beijing,
82
unless something changes in the next 24 hours or so,
83
Janice, he might be heading home tomorrow without the big deal he no doubt would have been hoping for.
84
Let's find out.
85
Thanks so much.
86
That's our reporter there, international correspondent Claudia Farhart, updating us from Taipei.
87
The Philippines president has called an emergency meeting after gunfire forced the country's Senate into lockdown.
88
Shots rang out in the building,
89
but authorities are yet to reveal who fired them and why.
90
It's widely thought to be connected to a senator facing arrest over international criminal court charges.
91
A burst of gunfire triggers scenes of panic.
92
The security officials scramble to secure the Senate building.
93
A media pack huddled together caught up in the chaos.
94
Witnesses say more than a dozen shots were fired.
95
Marines in fatigues taking control of the scene.
96
The Philippines president says the shootout is still under investigation.
97
Calling for calm as anti-riot police surrounded the complex.
98
The thing to do now is to tell our people all to calm down
99
and we will get to the bottom of this.
100
Senator Ronald De La Rota,
101
wanted by the ICC, is believed to remain hauled up inside.
102
The one-time police chief is accused of orchestrating former President Rodrigo Duterte's deadly war on drugs.
103
Duterte himself now in The Hague's custody.
104
Security vision from Monday shows Dalarosa escaping into the Senate with federal agents in pursuit.
105
Hours before, he'd expressed fears his arrest was imminent.
106
Branding the charges of crimes against humanity politically motivated.
107
We are under no obligation to carry out such a waratabur.
108
It's been a week of more high political drama in the Philippines.
109
Vice President Sara Duterte now facing a Senate trial after being impeached for the second time in the country's lower house.
110
The government has since insisted no order was issued for the arrest of Dalarosa,
111
a staunch Duterte ally.
112
The president is now seeking an urgent meeting to address the security scare.

114
A series of Israeli strikes across Lebanon have killed at least 12 people,
115
including two children, on the eve of a third round of US-mediated talks between the two countries.
116
Attacks between the Israeli military and Iran-backed Hezbollah militants have continued in spite of a ceasefire in place since April 16.
117
The resort town of Jiyah on Lebanon's sun-kissed Mediterranean shores,
118
now the site of Israel's latest drone attack.
119
This was one of three vehicles struck on the main highway south of Beirut,
120
an area well beyond the main conflict zone between Israel and Hezbollah.
121
The Israeli military hasn't commented on these strikes,
122
but has said it was attacking Hezbollah infrastructure in southern Lebanon.
123
The situation there, captured by this civil defence crew,
124
while searching for survivors after an attack on the town of Toul on Monday,
125
during what is supposed to be a ceasefire.
126
Israel has issued evacuation orders for a further nine villages in Lebanon's south,
127
where it intends to hit Hezbollah targets.
128
The militant group announcing its own fresh attacks on Israeli forces.
129
The UN warning its monitoring force there coming under increased threats from military activity.
130
Including the increased use of drones,
131
which has resulted in explosions in and around their bases,
132
and that puts peacekeepers at risk.
133
As Israel and Lebanon enter another round of talks,
134
growing fears over the ceasefire with Iran.
135
Prime Minister Netanyahu revealing he secretly visited the United Arab Emirates during the fighting,
136
leading to what he called a historic breakthrough in relations between Israel and the UAE.
137
The Gulf country denying the visit ever happened,
138
but Tehran's response was swift.
139
Foreign Minister Aragchi describing it as unforgivable collusion.
140
Elsewhere, the UK has deployed one of its warships to the region as part of a push from 40 other countries,
141
including Australia, to secure freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.
142
The, quote, defensive mission, dependent on the conflict coming to an end.

144
Russia has launched mass drone and missile attacks on Ukraine's capital,
145
injuring over 30 people according to local authorities.
146
Explosions were heard across the capital early on Thursday morning.
147
The head of Kyiv's military administration said ballistic missiles and drones struck residential buildings in six districts of the city.
148
It happened hours after a rare daytime Russian attack on Kyiv
149
which involved more than 800 drones and killed at least six people.
150
Speculation of a formal leadership challenge against UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is again mounting,
151
this time from Health Secretary Wes Streeting.
152
Possibly as early as today,
153
the fate of the Prime Minister has cast a shadow over the state opening of Parliament.
154
The main ceremonial event of the parliamentary calendar offering a brief moment of relief for Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
155
My Lords, pray be seated.
156
The King unveiling new laws planned for the next year.
157
My ministers will support measures that maintain stability and control the cost of living.
158
During the House of Commons debate that followed,
159
the opposition leader was quick to suggest the Prime Minister might not be around long enough to implement the measures.
160
This is a highly unusual moment.
161
The Prime Minister is in office but not in power.
162
Everyone is trying to pretend it's alright.
163
It's not alright.
164
The PM attempting to win over his colleagues with what he calls a radical plan to change the country.
165
This King's speech gives us the strength we need,
166
the economic security, energy security and national security to control our future in a chaotic world.
167
But speculation over a leadership challenge is not going away.
168
Hours before the King's speech,
169
Starmer's health secretary Wes Streeting was seen entering number 10 Downing Street and leaving less than 20 minutes later,
170
neither side revealing what was said,
171
although there were some theories.
172
Do you want the job or not?
173
There's no point in him giving me dirty looks.
174
We all know what he's been up to.
175
We all know.
176
According to Labor Party rules,
177
a leadership contest can be triggered if a candidate has the support of 81 MPs,
178
that is 20% of the parliamentary party,
179
then requiring 50% of first preference votes to win.
180
The sitting leader would automatically qualify for the ballot vote.
181
No Labor PM has ever faced a formal leadership challenge from their MPs.

183
Iran's top diplomat has arrived in India to meet his counterparts at the two-day BRICS foreign ministers meeting.
184
SBS News international correspondent Aaron Fernandez has the latest from New Delhi.
185
India is the current chair of the BRICS organisation
186
and is hosting this foreign minister's meeting ahead of the annual summit later this year.
187
BRICS is a group of developing nations and emerging economies led by Brazil,
188
Russia, India, China and South Africa that aims to coordinate economic
189
and security policy on key global issues broadly as a counterbalance to the United States.
190
This summit will undoubtedly be dominated by the war in Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
191
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Arachie arrived here in New Delhi overnight.
192
Tehran wants to see BRICS take a united stand and jointly condemn the United States and Israel.
193
But that's unlikely to happen.
194
One reason is that the United Arab Emirates is also a member of BRICS
195
and is on the opposite side of this war to Iran.
196
The UAE has close strategic ties with both the US
197
and Israel and it hosts major US military bases and has been the target of Iranian missile and drone strikes.
198
So building a consensus at this BRICS summit and releasing a joint statement
199
that condemns one side over the other will be difficult, if not impossible.
200
More likely what we will hear is a general call for an end to the war
201
but we will see how these talks progress over the next two days.
202
Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov is also expected to attend the meeting.
203
He arrived here in Delhi overnight.
204
But China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi is not.
205
He is expected to remain in Beijing during the visit by the US President.
206
Thank you.

Что такое техника Shadowing?
Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
