Â鶹ԼÅÄ

Joe Biden will speak to Xi Jinping over video call as the two leaders meet virtually to discuss US China relations – our correspondent in Beijing Stephen McDonnell gives us the latest, plus there’s analysis from Rui Zhong at the Wilson Centre in Washington DC. There’s a lockdown in Delhi, but this time it’s due to pollution; schools have closed and the authorities are considering imposing a city-wide curfew to keep people out of the smog. We hear from the Â鶹ԼÅÄ's Arunoday Mukherjee in the capital. In the US President Biden signs his infrastructure spending bill into law, in Portugal the Â鶹ԼÅÄ’s Alison Roberts explains how bosses have been banned from contacting workers after they’ve left the office, and Peter Morgan explains how to resign from a job with style and grace.

Throughout the programme we’re joined by Sushma Ramachandran, an independent business journalist and columnist for The Tribune newspaper in Delhi, and Peter Morici, emeritus professor at the Robert H Smith Business School of University of Maryland.
