Trump hails talks with the Chinese leader

Newsday

Available for 27 days

Chinese leader Xi urged for a "new approach" for China and the US to act as responsible global powers in a changing world. But despite the discussions, our North America editor says it's unlikely the summit will produce any significant accord, such as a plan to protect against the potential dangers of AI. The United Nations General Assembly draws to a close later today. World leaders have used to the platform to articulate their priorities and forge closer relationships. We speak to a US Congressman who's spoke to Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelensky after he highlighted his country's suffering in the face of Russian aggression. We look at trials for a promising new rapid genomic test for brain tumours that can slash the time it takes to get an accurate diagnosis from weeks to two hours.
