Russell and Carol - hayle and hearty

Xi only mentioned one war - and that was the conflict in the Middle East.

He told Putin that a complete end to the war in Iran was of "utmost urgency"

Xi and Putin both called out 

• treacherous military strikes against other
  countries, 
• the hypocritical use of negotiations as cover for preparing
  such strikes, 
• the assassination of leaders of sovereign states, 
• the
  destabilisation of the domestic political situation in these states and
  the provocation of regime change, 
• and the brazen kidnapping of national
  leaders for trial.
