US President Joe Biden has criticised the leaders of China and Russia for not turning up to the COP26 climate Summit .

Neither Russian President Vladimir Putin nor Chinese leader Xi Jinping are at The Summit .

Countries have already announced major deals, including as well as by the same year.
Mr Biden made his comments when asked about The Role that other Countries - including China, Russia and Saudi Arabia - have played in talks So Far .
" The fact that China is trying to assert, understandably, a new role in The World as a world leader - not showing up, come on, " Mr Biden said, adding that Xi Jinping 's absence was " a big mistake".
He Said the same about Mr Putin, saying that Russia's wilderness is burning and their president " stays mum" about the issue.
Mr Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov gave no reason why The Russian leader would not attend when, although He Said Climate Change was an " important" priority for Russia.
The same month that China's President Xi Jinping was not expected to attend. It is thought that President Xi has not left China since early 2020.
In September Mr Xi announced, with a plan to hit peak emissions before 2030.
President Putin said Russia would also strive to reach carbon neutrality " no later than 2060" in an international energy forum speech on 13 October.
Net zero, or becoming carbon neutral, means not adding to the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
