Does Hamlet meet young Fortinbras in act 4 scene 4?
I suspect Claudius does not take young Fortinbras as a serious threat to Denmark. At Act 2 Scene 2, news of Norway from Voltemand would appear to be "good news", yet this diplomatic importance to the King plays second fiddle to Hamlet's health. Claudius does not promptly respond to this message and would wait/hesitate (much like hamlet) without taking prompt action: "Wasting time", as a nervous Polonius would interject The message when looked at closer from Voltemand's speech, suggests that Old Norway had arrested his nephew, briefly, yet given him 3000 crowns to employ his army previously levied. This is basically taking money out of the left pocket and putting it in the right pocket. I suppose a better question would be, "Should Claudius fear young Fortinbras?" Claudius publicly states to the court that young Fortinbras holds an arrogant view of Denmark, crippled by a pyrrhic victory. Instead of answering this young man directly, Claudius turns his attention to Old Norway and sends "dilated articles" (detailed instructions) on how to handle young Norway. I do wonder if those 3000 crowns was of Claudius' money. The fortified garrison watch would suggest so, yet no offensive manoeuvrings are planned from Denmark. Diplomacy seems to be the best course of action for the treacherous King. Does Fortinbras intend to conquer Denmark? Or reclaim the land lost by his father in battle in Poland? Does he come to Elsinore directly from Norway's lands, or on his way back from Poland? Where are the soldiers levied?

Qho does Hamlet recommend to the throne?

What news does king claudius announce at the opening of scene?
I'm going to guess that you are asking about Act 1 Scene 2. In this scene Claudius talks about his marriage to Gertrude and Young Fortinbras's planned invasion of Denmark. But these are not news, since they are "what you know", facts already well-known to those there. Indeed, Horatio showed in the previous scene that he knew about them. The new part is Claudius's strategy to find a diplomatic solution to this problem, by raising a complaint with the invalid king of Norway, whose subjects Fortinbras is poaching for his private army.
