Joe Biden to meet political leaders to break the deadlock over US debt ceiling

The US president, Joe Biden and the House and Senate leaders of both parties will meet in the White House today to try to break the deadlock over the country's debt ceiling.

Rahul Tandon is presenting and in the programme he is looking into the US president, Joe Biden and the House and Senate leaders of both parties will meet in the White House today to try to break the deadlock over the country's debt ceiling. The Republicans have said they are happy to extend the debt ceiling - but only if President Biden cuts his spending.

Chinese officials say they have searched the office of a US consultancy, Capvision, to protect China's own security and development interests. It comes after they investigated another American firm, Bain & Company, and detained Chinese employees of Mintz Group in March. 

The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) agreement is expected to connect some 1.3 billion people under a single market for goods and services. But the initiative is facing challenges including free movement in the continent.
