A recent investigation by the Associated Press found that militias in Yemen, backed by a Saudi-led coalition, which has also been backed by the US and the UK, have been recruiting hundreds of al-Qaeda militants. Other reports have pointed out that 17 years after 9/11 terror attacks, al-Qaeda may be stronger than ever, and the US’ Middle East policy appears to have encouraged its spread. Is the US complicit in deals struck between its allies and its arch enemy in the region? Ivan Eland from The Independent Institute and Joel Rubin, former US deputy State assistant secretary, join the discussion.

During the ongoing Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, Russia, Chinese President Xi Jinping held talks with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin. Both leaders agreed that bilateral ties have entered a new era and vowed to further promote partnership and maintain world peace and stability. CGTN's Liu Xin spoke to Chinese Ambassador to Russia Li Hui about the foundation and future of the two countries to develop their relationship.
