things on twitter seem to undermine the diplomatic pressure that is happening through beijing and new york and any real hope of north korea pulling back from its aim of developing a long—range nuclear weapons. from its aim of developing a long-range nuclear weapons. one of donald trump's aims from this was to encourage xijinping to donald trump's aims from this was to encourage xi jinping to increase sanctions and pressure on north korea. has there been any development with regards to that? donald trump said that president xi had reiterated his desire to increase sanctions and the denuclearisation of north korea, although we have not heard that directly from president xi jinping. but any kind of belief that there is going to be a denuclearisation in north korea is really an indication that the foreign policy of the us and the west might have its head in the clouds. as far as north korea is concerned, its survival is dependent on being a nuclear armed state. that is the view of the north korean regime. they have seen what happened in libya and iraq when they pull back from developing

china. the us president backs away from the chance to punish beijing on trade. in his visit to china, mrtrump makes it clear his priority is addressing the north korean nuclear crisis, not the trade imbalance. the result of that calculation — the president calls xi a "special man" and says china is not to blame for the trade deficit. a year on from the american election, was this the week the democrats turned a corner with voters? we'll hear from the outgoing governor of virginia. i think it was an affirmation they were happy with the last four years. if we had not done a good job the last four years, my lieutenant governor, i don't care anything about trump, we would not have won.

comments are being seen as an important win for beijing, as john sudworth reports. forget military brinkmanship or trade wars, for this state visit china is trying different strategy. a charm offensive. and the us seems smitten. 0ur meeting last night was absolutely terrific. 0ur dinner was beyond that. 0ur relationship has already proven to be a great one. my feeling towards you is an incredibly warm one — as we said, there is great chemistry. in place of mr trump's old china bashing, there was admiration for the way it has exploited the huge trade imbalance. right now, unfortunately, it is a very one—sided and unfairone, but, but, i don't blame china. after all, who can blame a country for being able to take advantage of another country for the benefit of its citizens? i give china great credit. watching this bromance back home, trump's core supporters might wonder what happened to the promises to be tough on china? critics will say that with a bit of wheeling and dealing on business and the pomp and ceremony of a state visit, the chinese have flattered him into submission. t

. president trump once raged that china was a jobs thief. but in beijing, he was all smiles and gratitude. president xi, now a very special man who makes his people proud. i just want to thank you for the very warm welcome. my feeling toward you is an incredibly warm one... they did eventually talk about the hard things. the north korean nuclear crisis and a massive us trade deficit in china's favour. but donald trump blamed that on previous american presidents, not on his host. i don't blame china. who can blame the country for being able to take advantage of another country, for the benefit of its citizens? i give china great credit. and america's deal—maker in chief got some big sales in return. china needs to keep stable access to us markets. translation: the common interests of our two countries are far greater than the differences. with constructive attitudes, we can look for common ground. this is not a real news conference. there are no questions from the media, either on north korea, nor on whether the business deals are worth celebrating in the absence of a major move to open

from a feel—good blast of bonhomie in beijing, president trump arrived in da nang, the base from where the us waged its war in vietnam 50 years ago, with a much tougher message. apec is a free—trade forum, founded with strong american participation, just as the cold war ended. past presidents have used these summits to promote us values, like free trade and civil rights. but not this one. speaking to a hall full of east asia's business and diplomatic elite, mr trump at first showered them with flattery. but then changed tack with a litany of complaints, many directed at china, though he never named the culprits, of countries taking advantage of america, breaking the rules of free trade. we can no longer tolerate these chronic trade abuses. and we will not tolerate them. despite years of broken promises, we were told that some day soon, everyone would behave fairly, and responsibly. people in america, and throughout the indo—pacific region have waited for that day to come. but it never has. you can come to summit meetings like this, and asia holds plenty of them, and come away with

"america first," warned candidate trump. we can't continue to allow china to rape our country, and that's what they're doing. but when president trump played host in april, he needed china's help on north korea. there were no trade sanctions. he called president xi a good friend. we're going to have a very, very great relationship and i look very much forward to it. xijinping has lots of friends, though. party comrades applauding his promise that china will build a first—class military and mo

want to get some of your thoughts on some reports suggesting a trip to beijing by zimbabwe's military chief, the architect of this takeover, which happened a few days before the takeover. that may be more than just a coincidence of timing? i think there may be a coincidence of timing. there may also have been a need to them to go and let the chinese know that a coup was in the making and that robert mugabe will be gone in the next few days. china is the largest foreign investor in zimbabwe. it is important to remember that china is only interested in the tobacco and diamonds in zimbabwe. they may also be interested in a few other things but china does not have a history of mingling in internal african affairs. it is safe to say that the interests of china are merely economic. they are trying to make sure that zimbabwe remained stable and it looks like there will not be a big change in power. you seem adamant that he will go. what happens when mr mugabe leaves? do you think this buoyant attitude on the street is well founded? will there be change for the people of zimbabwe? i think the
