breaking news from around the world, 24 breaking news from around the world, 2a hours a day. this is bbc news. how crucial all are these talks in the current geopolitical surveyor called —— scenario? it’s the current geopolitical surveyor called -- scenario?— called -- scenario? it's valuable for each of the three because they have a tremendously important economic relationship as well as because they're neighbours in a very difficult neighbourhood. but clearly, the chinese need more than japanese and koreans at this particular moment. there is some irony there because it was the japanese who walked away from the trilateral format and peaked japanese who walked away from the trilateralformat and peaked back japanese who walked away from the trilateral format and peaked back up in 2019 when they got angry at the south koreans over the deployment of

defensive systems to protect against north korea. president xijinping doesn't attempt these trilateral �*s. normally it's not... historically, it's never been a chinese president, it's never been a chinese president, it's always been a 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.— now by geopolitics. given china's economic situation, _ now by geopolitics. given china's economic situation, will- now by geopolitics. given china's economic situation, will be - economic situation, will be beijing's standing as it goes into these conversations?— beijing's standing as it goes into these conversations? well, you're riaht these conversations? well, you're ri . ht to these conversations? well, you're right to point _ these conversations? well, you're right to point out _ these conversations? well, you're right to point out that _ these conversations? well, you're right to point out that it _ these conversations? well, you're right to point out that it is - these conversations? well, you're right to point out that it is in - right to point out that it is in large part the economic slump in china that is compelling beijing to reach out to seoul and tokyo and try to make pick up work they left off

backin to make pick up work they left off back in 2019 on hammering out some kind of comprehensive trilateral free—trade agreement. that seems pretty ambitious now. this meeting is taking place at the deputy minister level. that's where a lot of the hard work typically gets done. it remains to be seen. they'll get an agreement on an agenda that would clear the way for trilateral among the leaders. a second powerful force is the camp david summit, where the us, japan and korea got together at the leaders level and took their collective and respective relationships to the next level. that makes beijing nervous and it undoubtedly calculates that it needs to try to respond to that without reach —— without

—— with outreach. korea have an alignment much more closer to the united states and with europe in terms of seeking to protect their own technology and restricts china's access. these are important priorities for china. aha, access. these are important priorities for china.- priorities for china. a very briefl , priorities for china. a very briefly, that _ priorities for china. a very briefly, that handshake i priorities for china. a very briefly, that handshake atj priorities for china. a very - briefly, that handshake at can't be dashcam david, how is the west european going to see this —— camp david? european going to see this -- camp david? ., ., ., g ., ., , david? korea and japan, virtually like every country _ david? korea and japan, virtually like every country on _ david? korea and japan, virtually like every country on earth, - david? korea and japan, virtually like every country on earth, wantj like every country on earth, want the best of both worlds. they want the best of both worlds. they want the benefits that come from alignment with the united states and the west, but they also want access to china's markets. so, it's no surprise that china finds interest in the korean and japanese government, particularly on the economic front. but there's no real

sense of risk, certainly in washington, even the highlight of of trust forjapan and south korea. thank you very much. daniel russell, i appreciate your time. mr; thank you very much. daniel russell, i appreciate your time.— around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. some news making headlines. former nurse lucy letby will face a retrial on an outstanding allegation that she attempted to murder a baby girl. she was given a life sentence last month for the murders of seven babies and the attempted murders of six others at the countess of chester hospital. her legal team has lodged an application to appeal against those convictions. the nhs in england has passed a grim milestone with more than a million hospital appointments cancelled because of strikes. the industrial action began in december and last week saw the first strike by junior doctors and consultants at the same time.

some say the true scale of the disruption is likely to be higher. gatwick airport will cancel around 82 departures over the coming week because of high levels of sickness, including covid, among air traffic control staff. the largest number of cancellations is expected on friday, with thirty—three departures affected. easyjet passengers will be the most impacted, with british airways and ryanair also cancelling flights. you're live with bbc news. india continues to emphatically deny allegations by canada that it had a hand in the murder of a canadian sikh injune. but indian media outlets are now reporting that delhi does want to put renewed pressure on some foreign sikh activists — naming seven britons among 19 people whose indian properties are set to be confiscated. it comes at a time when some british sikhs are concerned about a mischaracterisation of their community. here's our religion editor aleem maqbool.

whenjustin trudeau accused india of involvement in the murder of this canadian sikh, he might have hoped for unequivocal public support from canada's friends. a lot of your allies have been silent on this. i wonder what your reaction to that is... but that hasn't come, even from the uk — leaving prime minister trudeau a lonely figure, and british sikhs upset. some already felt they had reason to feel aggrieved. take the case of jagtar singh johalfrom dumbarton. he's a well—known sikh rights activist, and in 2017 went to india to get married. but there, he was bundled into a car and has been in prison ever since. he says he's been tortured and is frequently marched to court, accused of extremist offences, which he denies, though he's yet to be tried. there have been six

years of protests. the un working group publically called for mrjohal�*s a un working group publically called for mrjohal�*s immediate release, but the british government has yet to do the same. jagtar�*s brother says he's impressed by canada's stance. the canadian prime minister stood up for his citizen, heard about what has happened to one of his citizens, and on his own he has went into parliament, spoke to the opposition he's went into parliament, spoke to the opposition and said what he did. i don't see rishi sunak doing that. the prime minister has said he wants jagtarjohal�*s case resolved as quickly as possible. but narendra modi's administration has long demanded britain do more to counter a resurgent movement of sikhs in the uk supporting a breakaway homeland — one they want to call khalistan. the uk government's former faith engagement advisor agrees.

it was majorfinding in a report he published earlier this year. i think the british government have been, for many, many years, - naive in not addressing - the pro—khalistan extremists and sikh extremists that have been hiding in plain sight in the uk. - well, british sikh groups across the spectrum expressed outrage for what they see as activism is being characterised as extremism. they feel that somehow the government is kowtowing to delhi. but this is undoubtedly a difficult tightrope to walk for the uk, for whom india is such an important strategic partner, particularly on security and trade. aleem maqbool, bbc news, at the foreign office. the longest strike to affect hollywood in decades could be ending.

could be ending — a development welcomed today by us presidentjoe biden. a tentative deal has been struck, between studio bosses and the union representing screenwriters. writers have been on strike since early may. the 15,000 members still have to vote to ratify the deal. our correspondent nada tawfik is in new york where many of the us entertainment networks are based. i mean, you'll have late shows like the one behind me at cbs that will return. it will provide a bit of normality for american viewers on television, but they will still be seeing reruns of those scripted series that relies on actors. films that have been on pause will continue to do so until there is a resolution with the screen actors guild. now, keep in mind, they went on strike injuly, joining the writers — the first time the two have done so since the 19605. and in all of that time, the studios haven't engaged in negotiations with the screen actors guild. so, there's now hope that given the resolution, the tentative deal with the writers, that could help speed things along. and there's a lot of pressure because unless that is done soon, it could put into jeopardy next

year's box office season. now, certainly for the screen actors, it's similar concerns as the writers, but they are also asking for a 2% share of profits for the cast of popular shows. let's now get you a few highlights from the ongoing asian games. india have set the first world record in shooting at the asian games in china. meanwhile, tensions between north and south korea surfaced on a medal podium, whilst a nine—year—old competitor stole some hearts in the skateboarding. nicky schiller is in the newsroom with more on day two of the games. #goldmedal was trending on indian social media. the men's ten metre air rifle team on target for the country's first gold medal at the asian games. and it came with the added bonus of a world record. they beat the one set by china just last month. there was another gold for india

in their asian games cricket debut. they beat an inform sri lanka by 19 runs to win the women's final. they beat an in—form sri lanka by 19 runs to win the women's final. the players said it was something that they dreamt about. but i think this is one of the biggest achievements for us as a team and as an entire nation, because first time cricket is a part of a multi—... the asian games, and you know, just to get the gold for the nation and to add to the medals of the nation, i think there's no bigger pride than that. tensions were on display during this medal ceremony. three north korean athletes refused tojoin their south korean rivals on the top step of the podium for a group photo. the north korean trio had been narrowly beaten in the men's team shooting competition. they did eventually pose together off the podium. from a tense atmosphere to smiles all around for nine—year—old skateboarder mazel paris alegado. she is the youngest member of the philippines team, and thought to be the youngest competitor at the whole event. she made the women's park final and came seventh. she says her dream now is to go to the olympics.

there was a shock in the men's park final. this run from is—year—old chinese skateboarder chen ye meant that he claimed gold ahead of his japanese rivals. in the pool, siobhan haughey got hong kong's first ever swimming gold medal in the women's 200 metres freestyle. south korea shocked china in the men's 4x200 metres freestyle, winning gold in a new asian record. but overall, it is the host china that topped the medal table with 39 golds. nikki schiller they're getting us all the highlights. if you want more highlights, you can always log onto the bbc news website. that's all for now — stay with bbc news. thanks very much for walking.

hello there. we've got a bit of rain on the way today, but also should see some spells of sunshine developing. and at the moment, the rain is edging into northern ireland, where it's turning quite heavy. we've got southerly winds feeding in, so it's a mild start to tuesday with temperatures holding up into double figures. and that rain in northern ireland will soon spread to scotland, we'll see a bit of wet weather as well for a time across northern england and north wales. across central and eastern england, a few showers will develop through the day, it'll turn quite cloudy for a time as well. but it is a day where we'll all see some sunshine at some points during the day, and those temperatures continue to run above average for the time of year, about 16—23 degrees. then we've got storm agnes on the way for the middle part of the week, bringing some potentially disruptive weather. now, at the moment, agnes is this lump of cloud in the mid—atlantic — it's got 30 mile an hour winds on it, it is a very weak area of low pressure. however, it's going to pass

underneath a very strong atlantic jet stream blowing at 140 mph. blowing at 140 mph, and that will deepen this low pressure rapidly. pressure falls by over 2a millibars in 2a hours. it's an example of a weather bomb. now, thankfully, the peak intensity of this low pressure will be well away from our shores. and actually, as the low pressure moves away from the jet stream, it's going to start to weaken. as that weakening takes place, well, that's what will determine exactly how strong the winds get. now, i think through the irish sea coasts, it's here where we'll see the strongest gusts of wind, could get gusts of wind around 70 or even 80 mph, potentially damaging and certainly disruptive gusts of wind. inland, yes, you could see 50, 60 odd mile an hour gusts across parts of south—west england, across wales, across northern england and northern ireland. but it's the coast and the hills where we could see those much stronger gusts of wind, reaching 70 or even 80 mph. now, it will stay quite windy into thursday. agnes, or what's left of it, will be heading out into the norwegian sea. we'll be left with lots of showers

across western areas, with more general rain pushing back into northern ireland. it will stay quite blustery, temperatures around 14—21 degrees celsius. now, beyond that, i think friday and saturday looking ok — there'll be a few showers across the northwest, but a fair amount of dry weather. however, rain looks set to return from sunday and into the early part of next week as well. that's it for now.

welcome to hardtalk. i'm stephen sackur. after two years of restored taliban rule in afghanistan, two thirds of afghans are experiencing food insecurity and close to 900,000 children face acute malnutrition. at the same time, the kabul regime has barred girls from secondary school and university and banned women from many workplaces. so, there is a massive ethical dilemma facing the international community — to engage or not to engage with the taliban.
