Asia correspondent Elizabeth Beattie

Elizabeth talks to Kathryn about China's latest foray into the Pacific. And in Pakistan, there are reports of clashes in after ousted Prime Minister Imran Khan and his party have pushed on with protests plans, despite officials banning the demonstration. And on the heels of the US President's first Asia trip, North Korea has fired a series of ballistic missiles. Joe Biden had agreed, during a meeting with his South Korean counterpart, to deploy more U.S. support to South Korea to deter North Korea's weapons testing.
