Biden, Xi to hold virtual summit on Monday

Published

Leaders from the US and China are expected to hold a virtual summit on Monday.

US President Joe Biden and Chinese leader Xi Jinping are set to discuss tensions over trade, human rights and military activities.

Washington and Beijing have been sparring on issues on the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic to China’s expanding nuclear arsenal.

But US officials believe direct engagement with Xi is the best way to prevent the relationship between the world’s two biggest economies from spiralling.

Beijing is also keen to avoid confrontation and focus on “positive competition,” while pushing for cooperation on issues.

It follows the pair announcing greater co-operation to tackle climate change at COP-26 in Glasgow.

Scotland Yard investigates Lord Mandelson for allegedly leaking information to Epstein; PM Starmer vows to revoke his peerage if guilty.

Scotland Yard has confirmed it is conducting a full criminal investigation into allegations that Lord Peter Mandelson leaked sensitive government information to Jeffrey Epstein while in public office. The probe centres on potential misconduct and whether any information was deliberately shared.

Police say a successful prosecution would require clear evidence that Mandelson intentionally passed confidential material to Epstein. Investigators are currently assessing whether the claims meet the criminal threshold required to proceed with charges.

Officials are also reviewing the full scope of Mandelson’s interactions with Epstein during his time in government, as pressure mounts for answers and accountability at the highest levels of power.
