but will they listen? dr theresa fallon is the director of the centre for russia europe asia studies, which is a brussels based think tank. here s her analysis. i think they re trying to sit very carefully on the fence and not look like they are too close to putin and not to upset big markets in europe and asia. but i think that this has become very problematic after the recent meeting or phone call with president biden we saw the meeting on monday in rome. it was a seven hour long meeting with jake sullivan and his chinese counterpart, and that was very testy from what i ve been hearing. and so the call yesterday was really to kind of show and demonstrate to the rest of the world whose side beijing is on. and so they haven t really clarified their position, clearly they are still backing russia
so that is something the us has told its allies that they are very worried about. i think we also want the allies to put pressure on china and to tell them don t do this, it will not be in your interest. yeah, because the will not be in your interest. yeah, because the united will not be in your interest. yeah, because the united states, i will not be in your interest. yeah, because the united states, jake l because the united states, jake sullivan has already made that clear to the chinese in his statements, saying that, we don t want you to do this. he saying that, we don t want you to do this. ., , ., saying that, we don t want you to do this.“ . , ., ., , do this. he has, he had a seven hour, do this. he has, he had a seven hour. won do this. he has, he had a seven hour. won the do this. he has, he had a seven hour, won the white do this. he has, he had a seven hour, won the white house i do this. he has, he had a sevenl hour, won the white house called do t
that is for sure. but i just want at least some sense of normality. as the west continues to impose harsh economic sanctions on russia, it has looked to the world s second largest economy for support. however china has so far refused to condemn the russian invasion and continues to buy its oil and gas. yesterday, us president joe biden warned his chinese counterpart xi jinping there would be consequences if beijing chose to aid moscow more explicitly. but will they listen? well, earlier, my colleague lewis vaughanjones spoke to dr theresa fallon, the director of the centre for russia europe asia studies, which is a brussels based think tank. i think you re trying to sit very carefully on the fence and not look too close to vladimir putin and not too close to vladimir putin and not to upset big markets in europe and asia but i think this has become very problematic after the meeting or phone call with presidentjoe biden. we saw the meeting on monday in rome, a seven hour long meeting
a bit chilly on north sea course and about nine degrees in newcastle with the wind blowing off the north sea. monday and tuesday, the wind switches from the south and it will be much milder. i would say it is even going to feel warm and a really promising outlook for the second half of the week. temperatures up to 17 or 18 and will probably touch 20 degrees, fingers crossed, for the first time this year.
