US-China talks in Alaska - a podcast by BBC World Service

The US and China are holding their first high level talks since Joe Biden was inaugurated. Dr Rebecca Harding is an international trade analyst at Coriolis Technologies, and tells us what is likely to be top of the agenda. Also in the programme, the Australian media mogul Rupert Murdoch turns 90 this month, and the BBC's Ed Butler examines his legacy, and the question of whether it's time for him to hand over the reins at News Corp. Plus, on Global Recycling Day, amid predictions that global waste might increase up to 70% by 2050, Ranjit Baxi, president of the Global Recycling Foundation discusses what can be done about it.
