Daily Mail: Putin pressures Biden before talks: As the two presidents prepare to face each other in Geneva within hours, US stealth jets launch in response to Russia's biggest naval exercise since end of Cold War 300 miles off Hawaii - and dozens of Chinese warplanes circle Taiwan after American carrier group arrived 

* USAF stealth fighters were scrambled to Hawaii on Sunday as Moscow launched naval exercises in Pacific, while in South China Sea, an American carrier group has steamed in as Beijing's warplanes tear around Taiwan 

* Biden will finally sit down with Putin on Wednesday for their first presidential summit on Lake Geneva - the choice of venue a throwback to the Cold War meeting between Reagan and Gorbachev in 1985 

* Relations between the two sides are similarly cool - at their lowest ebb in decades after Putin's outlandish cyber attacks against the US, aggression towards Ukraine and intervention in the Middle East 

* Two men are set to meet at Villa de la Grange, a stunning chateau ripe for photo-ops and small talk 

* Putin is set to arrive first at the venue, with Biden arriving next in 'the Beast' - both men are staying nearby 

* First they will meet with Swiss President Guy Parmelin before meeting together with respective top aides 

* Biden will get to put his spin on the day with a full press conference later - Putin has not been invited to join
