officials threaten further sanctions if they are arrested. we'll look at one of the activists being targeted by the government. and we're live in new deli. severe air pollution forced schools to close for a full week . good to have you wus the leaders of u.s. and china set to meet virtually for the crucial summit in the coming hours and look to tackle recent tensions over taiwan trade and human rights. it will be the first meeting between the two since u.s. president joe biden took office. they have spoken twice by phone. mr. biden is expected to make clear u.s. priorities and concerns. chinese prosecute xi jinping hinted at a slight warming of relations. saying his country is willing to boost corporation and get the two sides back on track. cnn joins us now live from beijing. what are the expectations here? which issues will likely dominate the summit? >> expectations are relatively low despite all the topics you mention. this relationship often described as the worlds most important diplomatic relationship. nose dive for quite sometime. during the former president trump. and when president biden took office there was hopes things could pick up. it didn't happen. biden kept most of trumps china policies and measures and his stated goal of building this united front against an increasingly powerful and aggressive beijing. that really has in the eyes of many beijing officials posed a bigger threat. to china. compared to mr. trumps going alone approach. that explains the ratcheting up of rhetoric and actions taken by both sides in the past few months. the issues we mention not only taiwan but tech trade. cyber security and human rights. that's something very close to his heart. as he has said often he wants to put human rights and democracy at the forefront of the foreign policy agenda. as hi tries to blank the rising authoritarianism around the world. given how wide the gaps are on so many critically important issues between the two governments. few are expecting major breakthroughs. disputes and disagreements. point of the meeting according to to many is to lower the temperature. put a floor on the free fall. and keep communication channels open including the very top to avoid any strategic miscalculation. that could cause harm to global peace and prosperity. >> all right. joining us live. many thanks. joining me now with more on what we can expect from the summit. is cnn political and national security analyst. david sanger. good to have you with us. >> good to be with you. >> so the white house down playing expectations for this virtual summit the two leaders will be discussing taiwan trade, cyber threats. climate change. human rights. which of these issues will likely prove to be the most pressing? and which ones corporation perhaps progress. presumably with all that to discuss, there's some progress here. >> i think there are some areas of progress. it goes a little bit of surprise that china signed onto as much as it did in the end. out of the climate conference. top 26. the areas for corporation are relatively thin. and few of them are new. while we're hearing the administration say we want to put guardrails on the relationship and make sure that we don't trip into conflict. the competition is fine. but conflict needs to be avoided. i think they maybe sort of whistling past what's happened in some past efforts to that. you may remember it was just six years ago, when president obama had xi jinping to washington. and right after a major cyber attack. that the chinese managed to steal a huge amount of data out of the personnel management. they came to a cyber agreement and said don't worry about the south china sea. we don't plan on militaryizing it. the areas the chinese were working on are highly militarized. there's reason to question whether or not the kind of agreements they make here now are basically sort of papering things over or whether or not they would actually be substive. >> what is likely? >> they'll say they came to understand each other better. these are two people who spent a fair bit of time together in a previous era. when president biden was vice president and also when president xi hasn't ascended. he is in a much nor secure position. and reason to question after afghanistan and other events whether or not president biden actually would make a stand say to fully defend taiwan. with military forces. opposed to just support. or whether or not the united states actually is going to be able to carry through on the set of industrial policies that are coming together in the u.s. to try to compete with china in semi-conductors and artificial intelligence. computing and so forth. so, i think that what xi wants right now is a period of calm. between now and the party congress. he'll probably say a few things that will lower the temperature. >> right. of course this will be the first meeting between the two leaders since president biden took office. apart from the two phone calls we mention. how significant is this and how might the personal relationship play into this meeting? >> it's a really great question. how much personal relationship can you develop over what is essentially a secure zoom call. right? and it's a little bit hard to read. the white house is saying this is better than just having a phone conversation. that last 45 minutes or so. they expect this will probably go on for several hours. seeing somebody by video allows you to pick up body language. and so forth. allows other members of president biden group secretary of state. t t tony blinken. and sullivan to enter into the conversations simultaneous. with their counter parts. it's not the same sitting down with somebody. taking a walk with them. the way reagan used to do. it's something of a in between. between a phone call and real summit. >> right. how worried do you think china would be about the possible return of donl trump as leader in 2024? and how much of a motivators would that be for xi jinping to find areas of cooperation and progress. with president biden. >> a bit. but i don't think too much. the wrap on president biden prior to time that he took office was he would be weak on china. in fact, the terrorists remain. he put together a much deeper strategy. they have to be worried about the fact that he has been more successful at beginning to move critical industries that the united states worries about. onto u.s. soil. become less dependent on china. china is itself concerned about its depend si in semi-conductor arena on the united states. the bigger issue that the both sides need to go deal with, is even if both leaders are saying we don't want to slip into a cold war, we have seen cold war like behavior from both in the past couple months. that is the main thing they have to stamp. one thing to say this is different from a cold war. we have economic interchange. it's another thing to stop the cold war related behavior. >> david, thanks for talking with us. appreciate it. >> great to be with you. steve bannon a long time ally of former u.s. president trump is expected to turn himself in in the coming hours. he's facing two charges of contempt of congress. after he defied a subpoena from the committee investigating the january 6th attack on the u.s. capitol. bannon may not be the last member of trumps inner circle to face charges. former white house chief of staff mark meadows. snubbed the same committee on friday. when he failed to show up for a deposition. and if he continues to refusing to cooperate, one lawmakers says the committee won't hesitate to act. >> we have been moving quickly to make the decisions. i'm confident we'll move quickly with respect to mr. meadows. when witnesses decide as a meadows has that they're not everyone going to bother showing up and they have that much contempt for the law. it forces our hand. we'll move quickly. >> cnn has the latest now from washington. >> steve bannon expected to return himself in monday. after he was indicted on two counts of contempt of congress last week. federal judge signed an ais warrant for bannon. being given the opportunity to surrender. which should lead to arraignment in court. he could face one year in prison for each count. conviction is far from certain. the indictment is a major win for the committee. trying to understand exactly what took place around the attack on the u.s. capitol. members of the committee believe his indictment will send a message to other witnesses who resisted cooperating including former chief of staff. meadows failed to show up for his deposition last week. and the committee says it's thinking about moving to held him in contempt. he is working in the white house making the potential case against him a little bit different. the committee clearly has questions for meadows including for instance whether he used a personal krmpb during the time. -- cell phone during the time. a memo he sent to vice president pence in the lead up to january 6. to try to convince him not to certify the election. that memo just now coming to light in a new book. whether any of this leads to cooperation from meadows remains to be seen. >> still to come. austria puts unvaccinated population in to lock down. the new measures to stop the surge and the costly consequences for ignoring the restrictions. plus how cuba is cracking down on activism and welcome back tourists. feeling sluggish or weighed down?

>> this is a pretty scary incident. it's also a really strange incident. in that here we are 24 hours after this and have very little information about what actually took place. on the surface the police response bares a lot of resemblance to terror attacks we have seen in the past. police are investigating. i i should be clear police haven't said this is a terror incident. they say they are open minded. the prime minister called this an awful incident. the mayor of liverpool called it upsetting. again not terrorism. she's urging people not to speculate until police have more of a chance to investigate. we know that at 10:59 a.m. police got a call about this explosion and fire that took place outside of a liverpool women's hospital. this is a massive facility. takes up almost an entire city block. the focus is on delivering babies and on women's health. that hospital is also less than a mile from the liverpool cathedral. and at that time, a ceremony was taking place to mark remembrance sunday. which honors britains war dead. and there was a moment of silence at 11:00 a.m. for two minutes. it is not clear at this point whether this was a total coincidence or somehow if the events are linked. you can understand why police may think that they need to bring in the counter terrorism police. because of the obvious questions there. in the hours that followed as you said three men in their 20s were arrested. this was about a mile or so from that hospital. about a mile or so north. and they kor donned off and evacuated a part of a street a mile to the southeast of that hospital. a witness told bbc inside the hospital that he had heard an explosion. looked outside the window and saw a man get out of the car. who was screaming. and that car was on fire. a second person we can only assume that was the victim. was still inside the vehicle at that time. >> devastating. we'll continue to follow this of course. and bring details to the viewers as they come in. the son of late libyan leader submitted his candidacy for the presidency. that is according to the country election commission. he faces a major obstacle. the 49 year-old is wanted by the international criminal court for crimes against humanity. for allegedly suppressing the revolt of the libyan people in 2011. in a rare interview in allhe told the "new york times" he thought his legal issues could be negotiated away. if he wins the election next month. >> we want to thank you for joining us here. if you are an international viewer, world sport is up next. if you are watching from the united states, i'll be right back with more news. don't go anywhere. i brought in ensure max protein, with thirty grams of protein. those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks!

>> yeah. unfortunately, i think dr. gottlieb is right. i think we are looking forward to or looking ahead to about six to eight weeks of difficult times in the united states. we have about 80,000 infections a day right now. that's actually up a little bit in the last couple of weeks. i expect those numbers to rise in the upcoming week, especially with thanksgiving and the christmas holidays that are coming. i do think january will be better, but the next couple of months are going to be pretty tough. >> so, with the holidays upon us, what would your advice be to everyone to sort of avoid these six to eight weeks alie ahead of us and the problems that many people experience in those times? >> yeah. so, number one is absolutely for people to get vaccinated. if you're not yet vaccinated, if your kids are not vaccinated, it is safe to get together over the holidays if you are vaccinated. it is much, much riskier if you're not. for other people i would say if you're six months out from your vaccine, get a booster shot. those are widely available, and they offer another level of protection. and then just being careful around the holidays, particularly around vulnerable people is a good idea. but i think this is a holiday where we can get together safely if we do follow those precautions. >> you did mention the booster shot. u.s. surgeon general dr. vivek murthy is encouraging people to get vaccinated, and for those who are eligible to get a booster shot. but there's still a reluctant portion of the population in the u.s. and across parts of u.s., the anti-vaxxer who's don't appear to remember polio or smallpox. how do you educate and convince these people that getting vaccinated will end this pandemic? >> yeah. it's difficult. obviously it's been an effort for a while now. but unfortunately i think the misinformation directed towards americans and europeans and others is very well organized and done by parties with ulterior motives. we've got to keep talking to people and engaging people with concerns that they have. i think there are a lot of legitimate questions that people have that we still have to answer. i think policies like mandates can make a big difference. >> with covid surging again in europe, austria is ordering lockdowns just for the unvaccinated in ten days or so and any violators will be fined. but is that what will ultimately need to be done in other countries as well given this is now a pandemic of the unvaccinated. >> yeah. you know, i have to say i'm pretty skeptical of any policy that directs lockdowns just towards unvaccinated people. what i would much prefer is mandates for public gatherings, for workplaces. i think that's a much more compelling way to get people vaccinated. we'll see what the austria experience is and if it works. but i think taking one part of the population and treating them differently in that way is just hard to sustain for any extended period of time. >> of course we've seen some workgroups, some unions, some republican governors push back on any effort to put vaccine mandates in place. so what would your advice be there? what should happen? >> well, i think we're all getting tired of this pandemic. we're 22 months in. we need to put this pandemic behind us. we need to bring the acute phase of the pandemic to a close. there's really one major path out, and that is vaccines. for republican governors or others who are opposed to mandates, if they have better ideas for getting a lot more people vaccinated, i think all of us would be open to it. but ultimately the key goal is to get a lot more people vaccinated so we can bring this pandemic to a close. >> all right, dr. ashish jha, thank you so much. >> thank you. well, health experts fear the pandemic may be worsening the impact of an already debilitating disease, diabetes. a february study found that diabetes tripled a person's risk of severe illness and death from covid-19. over 500 million people, one in ten adults worldwide live with diabetes. nearly half undiagnosed. it has killed nearly 7 million people this year alone. but lifestyle changes make a difference. healthy foods and moderate exercise can cut the risk. and along with medication even put full-blown diabetes into remission. and you can help those struggling during the pandemic and get help yourself. head to cnn.com/impact to find links to charitable organizations verified by cnn. president biden has long paid tribute to his family's irish roots. and on saturday he celebrated the irish rugby team's 29-20 victory over new zealand. the u.s. president called the irish rugby football union from his retreat at camp david. team members asked for an invitation to the white house. on sunday a pub in ireland tweeted this clip from that video call. >> great win, man. by the way, when i was down in new zealand not long ago, i was bragging about you guys. they almost didn't let me off the island. do you know what i mean?
