Biden & Xi cool tensions at G-20

Biden & Xi Cool Things Down | GZERO World

This week at the G-20 in Bali, the first in-person meeting between Joe Biden and Xi Jinping as presidents of the US and China went ... rather well, Ian Bremmer explains on GZERO World.

Biden and Xi found common ground on two very important issues: avoiding nuclear war in Ukraine and cooperation on climate.

Angela Merkel was elected chancellor of Germany on November 22, 2005, becoming the first woman to hold that job.

Twenty years on, the anniversary is a reminder of how singular her breakthrough remains. It’s still the exception when a woman runs a country.
