John boehner this morning i woke up and said my prayers as i always do and decided i had paid my dues. Its as simple as that. Jane the faces of the missing with photos from around the world. Jane welcome to our viewers on Public Television in america and around the globe. Today, the u. S. And china announced they were taking new steps to address the contentious issue of cybercrime. Joint newsame from a conference between the two president s at the white house. At the same time, president of freshe the threat sanctions if hacking doesnt stop. Barbara this was a difficult summit. You wouldnt know it from the pageantry, and the public message is that the worlds two biggest economies can Work Together. They announced important new steps to combat climate change, but the knees the surface, there are deep divisions. President obama has threatened sanctions over the massive cyber theft of trade secrets. Now they have vowed to Work Together to battle cybercrime, which sounds promising.

A as a global what kind of power, americans may wonder, as there are increasing disputes over human rights and the south china sea. We are committed to managing differences and disputes through dialogue. Reporter in some cases, talking is the best they can do. There are no easy solutions. This is a relationship that is too big to fail, so this summit was important for managing it. Cyber security is the thing to watch in the coming months as americans look for results. Bbc news, washington. Jane for more on the significance of this visit, i spoke with jon huntsman, the former u. S. Ambassador to china, who is now chairman of the atlantic council. Ambassador, thank you for joining me. A lot of topics under discussion, but right now, how would you describe the relationship between the u. S. And china . Andhuntsman it is strained has been strained for the better part of six months. The markets have been roiled by the emergence of china from a neck sport model to an important model. The markets are jittery. And exportbased model to an import model. The markets are jittery. Have all of this, and this is the backdrop against which xi makes his first visit to the United States as head of the party and president of the country. Jane lets start with the cyber attacks. President obama says quite clearly they have to stop. President xi says he will cooperate with Law Enforcement and investigations. But does that assurance really go far enough . Jon huntsman if you look at the text released today, there is really nothing on espionage and ciber, which is a big part of the problem. You have to differentiate the espionage part. A lot of countries differentiate that from intellectual property theft, which is a whole different challenge for the United States. We have had our firms ripped off our firms ripped off to the tune of probably 300 billion a year. Attempt to enshrine the intellectual side of cyber theft in writing. I have never seen that done before. They are making an attempt to frame it, to put it on the table. There is no sense of where it might go from here or what the nextdent might do with the cyber attack, but at least there was a commitment not to steal from each other. We will see where it goes. Jane what about the South Pacific and the island Building Program that china continues, and president xi again said his chinese territory unequivocally . Huntsman we cannot do anything unilaterally. We could embrace the laws of the seas treaty, which we have not ratified. That would be a good starting point. But its an issue without an easy solution. Otherwise, it would have been addressed a long time ago. It is the one issue that is going to keep policymakers up in the coming years. Everybody is a bit up in arms about china expanding some of these small atoll islands and making them grounds for military exercises. So, there is a lot that must be done. Clearly, there is no understanding this particular trip. Said he will respect territorial and navigational rights. That was a signal to me that nothing was done. It is a complicated issue because it deals with sovereignty, and no one is going to give. Jane how much influence does the u. S. Actually have on china . Jon huntsman well, its leverage and pressure. All by itself, the United States can exert a certain amount of leverage, but when you look at the philippines, brunei, malaysia, vietnam, they want the United States to play a role, and to be an honest broker backstop, which, of course, china doesnt like at all. There is a legitimate role for the United States to play as an honestator, as an broker, ensuring that china does unilateralte in a fashion, one off in which case those other states dont stand a chance. Jane thank you for being here. Authorities have announced they are investigating the head of fifa, sepp blatter, on criminal charges.

Preserve the to institution of the house and, frankly, keep the government from shutting down yet again after it did just a few years ago. Most of the world now will remember john boehner as the guy crying next to pope francis on the speakers balcony to the u. S. Capitol. He had been spending more than 20 years to arrange this meeting, to have a pope, and speak to congress. As a catholic altar board goring up in altar boy growing ohio, this is something he really wanted to get done. Jane what are the reactions from the conservative element . See him go.

It will drag the candidates into it as well and perhaps remind the country that this is a party that remains severely fractured.
