BBC World Service - Newshour, Putin and Biden meet at much-anticipated summit

US and Russian leaders meet face-to-face in Switzerland.

The talks in Geneva come at a time when both sides describe relations as being at rock bottom. The discussions are set to include arms control and the US allegations of Russian cyber-attacks.

Also on the programme: the case for compulsory vaccinations for care workers worldwide; and we look ahead to the elections in Iran.
