Tony Abbott has promised to 'shirtfront' Vladimir Putin over what he knows about the MH17 tragedy when the two lock horns at the G20 conference in Brisbane. But the Russian President certainly didn't look too nervous about a curtain raiser confrontation with the Australian PM in Beijing, where both leaders will briefly cross paths at the APEC summit. As Mr Abbott touched down in the Chinese capital, Mr Putin was spotted looking typically calm as met with world leaders - shaking hands, smiling for photos and even comparing phones. Mr Putin held bilateral talks with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, met with China's president Xi Jinping and shook hands with Chilean President Veronica Michelle Bachelet Jeria.
