Xi and Biden meet: "The earth is big enough for both of us"
On Wednesday evening, Swedish time, the presidents of the United States and China, Joe Biden and Xi Jinping, met for the first time in a year.
The leaders met at a mansion in California where the 21 member countries of APEC, an economic cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region, have gathered for a conference.
Xi said, among other things, that the United States and China should be able to tolerate their differences, according to Reuters.
- Planet Earth is big enough for both countries to be successful.
He added that "turning our backs on each other is not an option" and was supported by Biden, who added that competition should not turn into conflict, according to AFP.

Iran has enough enriched uranium for three nuclear bombs
Iran has enough enriched uranium for three nuclear bombs, according to a new classified report from the UN atomic energy agency IAEA that Reuters and AFP have seen.
The country's stockpile of uranium enriched up to 60 percent has grown by 6.7 kilograms to a total of 128.3 kilograms since the last report in September. According to the IAEA's guidelines, around 42 kilograms are needed for an atomic bomb, provided that it is further enriched to 90 percent.
Iran is currently the only country that enriches uranium to such high levels without building nuclear bombs.

The volcanic threat in Iceland
The crack in Iceland is growing six centimeters per day
The fissure caused by the underground magma tunnel in Iceland is growing by five to six centimeters per day. That's what Kristin Jonsdottir, seismologist at the Icelandic Metrological Institute, tells Ekot.
The seismologists currently believe that an eruption will occur north of the evacuated town of Grindavik, and that the lava will then flow down towards the town.
Pressure is high at the Icelandic Metrological Institute, where lava, gases and earth movements are closely monitored every minute.
- It is stressful and difficult when you feel that what is happening has such great significance for people, says Jonsdottir.
4,000 residents have been evacuated from Grindavik. According to the Icelandic public service company RÚV, the power has started to go out in the city.
