US President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin square up on Wednesday for their first meeting since Mr Biden took office with deep disagreements likely and expectations low for any breakthroughs. Both have said they hope their talks in a lakeside Geneva villa can lead to more stable and predictable relations, even though they remain at odds over everything from arms control and cyber-hacking to election interference and Ukraine. The two are expected to talk for four or five hours starting at around p.m. (1230 BST).
