In a statement after their meeting, Xi called Taiwan the "first red line" that must not be crossed in U.S.-China relations, Chinese state media said. Biden said he sought to assure Xi that U.S. policy on Taiwan has not changed, seeking to lower tensions over the self-ruled island. "I do not think there’s any imminent attempt on the part of China to invade Taiwan," he told reporters. "It’s just great to see you," Biden told Xi, as he put an arm around him before their meeting.

Germany vow to learn from 2018 in World Cup last-chance saloonSports Sports Germany vow to learn from 2018 in World Cup last-chance saloonGermany vow to learn from 2018 in World Cup last-chance saloon29 November,2022 10:08 pmAL-SHAMAL (AFP) – Germany veteran Thomas Mueller said on Tuesday his side would "stay humble" with their World Cup group stage exit in 2018 fresh in their minds ahead of Thursday s must-win clash with Costa Rica. Niclas Fuellkrug s 83rd-minute equaliser against Spain on Sunday put Germany s challenge back on track after a damaging opening defeat to Japan. The predicament is a far cry from Germany s one-time label as a "tournament team", a product of their relentless consistency at the World Cup. "We emerged from the Spain game with a 1-1 - but it was still just a 1-1," the 29-year-old striker said. "We are really happy because it feels like the World Cup atmosphere is coming out (and) football is now front and centre, which I am especially glad about."

S Korean police seek manslaughter charges over deadly crushWorld World S Korean police seek manslaughter charges over deadly crushDespite anticipating a weekend crowd of more than 100,000, Seoul police had assigned 137 officers14 January,2023 08:55 amSEOUL (AP) — South Korean police are seeking criminal charges including involuntary manslaughter and negligence against 23 officials, about half of them law enforcement officers, for a lack of safety measures they said were responsible for a crowd surge that killed nearly 160 people. Despite anticipating a weekend crowd of more than 100,000, Seoul police had assigned 137 officers to the capital’s nightlife district Itaewon on the day of the crush. Those officers were focused on monitoring narcotics use and violent crimes, which experts say left few resources for pedestrian safety. Son Je-han, who headed the National Police Agency’s special investigation into the incident, said Friday his team will now send the case to prosecutors. Lee has also been accused of falsifying a police report to disguise his late arrival to the scene.
