us secretary of state antony blinken said he found "commonality" with g20 members on the conflict.rging a ceasefire. meanwhile, on the topic of ukraine — some foreign ministers from the g20 criticized russia for its invasion of ukraine. 0ur south america correspondent ione wells is in rio with more. speaking to reporters at the end of the g20, us secretary of state antony blinken said, when it came to russia, the us — along with other nations — had used the g20 to explicitly call out russia, both for its aggression against ukraine, but also for the death of alexei navalny. that was with russia's foreign minister, sergei lavrov, in the room. sergei lavrov, in the room. sergei lavrov has accused the g20 of becoming politicised for discussing issues like the war in ukraine. when it came to gaza, the us secretary of state, antony blinken, defended the us's position. the us is now one of the only countries not calling for an immediate ceasefire, and views the un security council motion earlier this week to veto the resolution that was put forward that would have called for an immediate

during the g20 ministerial meeting.y police, the country's most effective security force, conducted operations in the favelas to ensure the safety of visitors. delegations from the twenty countries gathered very close, in the picturesque marina da gloria bay, one of the most prestigious areas of rio. always in russia. there was a special attitude towards the g20, its members account for about 80% of global gdp, it is important that this is not a pro-western, global body. half participants do not support the anti-russian policies of the west. the meeting in brazil showed that the g20 without our country is simply impossible. sergei lavrov was one of the first to arrive at the meeting in order to be in time for everything, the head of the german foreign ministry, she lena berbak was also in a hurry and almost fell, her heel sharpened. mexico and saudi arabia, representatives of the usa and britain are exactly the opposite. the only thing is that over the past 2 years, the conversation on the feet of sergei lavrov and anth

is nothing that gets said and what are the implications of the g20 of that is the case?> it is possible that nothing comes out of that and it is possible that they just say there is no agreement that is reached here. the last g20 in india was a surprise that there was an agreement at all and over divisions on russia's or in ukraine, keith was actually really disappointed with the way that the wording came out. the u.s. was happy that's only got agreed at all but it was harder to get a deal there than it had been previously. and may harder still here as positions ossify. i do think when you look at these conferences, these were conferences, a lot has been made on the overall agreements, look, i have been a part of our breaking news coverage for five g20's and i always find at the big news here is on the sidelines, not in the main event, it is very rare you are reading headlines on the terminal and they come from something that is actually said in the main event, far more likely it is from things on the sidelines. i think the sideline space is going to be the key thing to

well, there was certainly a tense atmosphere at the g20 summit in rio today, and that's partly becauses of opinion in the room when it comes to russia's actions in ukraine. now, present at the meeting today was russian... russia's foreign minister, sergei lavrov. i'm told that directly in that room, many of the other foreign ministers use the opportunity to call out russia both for the war in ukraine, but also for the death of the russian opposition leader, alexei navalny in prison. these included the uk, canada, france, germany, australia, among others. and i'm told that lord cameron, the british foreign secretary, used the opportunity to ask other nations in the room whether there was anything more important to them than sovereignty and the ability to not be invaded by another nation. he said that he hoped that this was a message that was particularly important to be heard by some of russia's allies who were also present in the room, including the hosts, brazil. now, in response, sergei lavrov, i'm told, effectively continued to deny allegations of murder against alexei navalny, dism

what about with south africa, the next g20 host? the key country bringing case against israel to the world court. what sort of conversations are happening there? we see a lot in front of the camera but a lot of diplomacy happens on the sidelines and toward the shadows. that is where the real news will be. that is the headlines i am really watching for. paul: the news does tend to come out on the sidelines. there is always that focus at the very end on communication. is there a potential way around this problem, just not to put anything out? derek: there is. you can do that. there is no ironclad rule that says everyone has to agree on all the language in the statement. the host can just go out and make a statement and say here is what we discussed. you can put in the communique that these issues were discussed. there are many different ways to word it to say this is an issue of concern but we do not necessarily agree on the full bank of solutions. there are outs here. there are exit ramps, as i like to say, to this difficulty. that u

today in rio deneiro the ministerial meeting of the g20 or g20 at the level of foreign ministers willltilateral meeting will begin in the evening. let me remind you that the g20 in its current form was created in 2008 at the apogee of the global financial and economic crisis, but with the beginning of the hybrid war of the west against russia, the g20 is going through difficult times, because the west is trying to turn it into another platform for war against russia, and accordingly, activity is paralyzed, and accordingly the only opportunity. to preserve some kind of functionality of the g20 is to depoliticize its work and concentrate exclusively on issues of economic management. vladimir dmitrievich, in general, how do you assess the prospects, role and place of the g20 in global economic governance, especially regarding brix on one side of the g7, g7, i'm sorry, on the other side? well, indeed, when it was created, or rather, it took on its current appearance at the stage of crisis, so to speak. quite high hopes were pinned on it in connection with the creation of various supranati

the uk's foreign secretary lord david cameron told the g20 group of foreign ministers that there wasn russia's invasion of ukraine. speaking at the summit, lord cameron urged the whole from rio, here's our south america correspondent, ione wells. well, there was certainly a tense atmosphere at the g20 summit in rio today, and that's partly because of some of the differences of opinion in the room when it comes to russia's actions in ukraine. now, present at the meeting today was russian — russia's foreign minister, sergei lavrov. i'm told that directly in that room, many of the other foreign ministers use the opportunity to call out russia both for the war in ukraine, but also for the death of the russian opposition leader, alexei navalny, in prison. these included the uk, canada, france, germany, australia, among others. and i'm told that lord cameron, the british foreign secretary, used the opportunity to ask other nations in the room whether there was anything more important to them than sovereignty and the ability to not be invaded by another nation. he said that he hoped that th

the immediate reaction is that the g20 we are talking about right now, what we have seen increasinglyhat rather than serving as a co—ordinating mechanism, it starts to amplify political divisions between china and the united states or russia and the west more broadly. the proposal has been gaining traction steadily both in the united states of course and also among certain countries in europe, but there are still pushback in europe and i think once we talk about the broader g20, pushback will grow more pronounced. the broader 620, pushback will grow more pronounced.- the broader 620, pushback will grow more pronounced. there is bound to be _ grow more pronounced. there is bound to be pushback because l grow more pronounced. there is| bound to be pushback because as you say across the board there isn't the unity on so many of these issues. what will they achieve over the next few days? i think all eyes are going to be on brazil which has the rotating presidency of the g20 this year, and like india, which held the rotating presidency of the g20 last year, i think brazil will use its pre

it's been a busy day already at the latest g20 mauro vieira said the inaction resulted in the loss oflord cameron said that the uk, france, canada, and germany all used their speeches to raise the death of alexei navalny in front of the russian foreign minister, sergey lavrov. 0ur south america correspondent, ione wells, is at the conference and sent this report. well, there was certainly a tense atmosphere at the g20 summit in rio today, and that's partly because of some of the differences of opinion in the room when it comes to russia's actions in ukraine. now, present at the meeting today was russia's foreign minister, sergei lavrov. i'm told that directly in that room, many of the other foreign ministers used the opportunity to call out russia both for the war in ukraine, but also for the death of the russian opposition leader, alexei navalny in prison. these included the uk, canada, france, germany, australia, among others. and i'm told that lord cameron, the british foreign secretary, used the opportunity to ask other nations in the room whether there was anything more important

the g20 countries at their meetings discuss key international problems, now these are the settlementitical contradictions, the reform of global economic institutions, the west really wanted to do without... from to show russia that our country is isolated in rio, but nothing worked out, the head of russian diplomacy has a real marathon of bilateral meetings here. our country is one of the key players in the international arena and any global form without russia is simply impossible. on the eve of the meeting, lavrov gave an interview to the leading brazilian newspaper glob about the role of the group of twenty in the modern world. it is necessary to develop balanced solutions for the energy transition and digital transformation. restoration of supply chains, access to energy resources and food. it is important that the g20 countries commit themselves not to use the economy as a weapon and to refrain from unfair competition. as for the situation in ukraine, russia is open to a peaceful settlement, but the west and kiev are fixated on promoting the unacceptable zelensky formula. moscow

well, there was certainly a tense atmosphere at the g20 summit in rio today, and that's partly becauseesent at the meeting today was russian — russia's foreign minister, sergei lavrov. i'm told that directly in that room, many of the other foreign ministers used the opportunity to call out russia both for the war in ukraine, but also for the death of the russian opposition leader, alexei navalny in prison. these included the uk, canada, france, germany, australia, among others. and i'm told that lord cameron, the british foreign secretary, used the opportunity to ask other nations in the room whether there was anything more important to them than sovereignty and the ability to not be invaded by another nation. he said that he hoped that this was a message that was particularly important to be heard by some of russia's allies who were also present in the room, including the hosts, brazil. now, in response, sergei lavrov, i'm told, effectively continued to deny allegations of murder against alexei navalny, dismissing that as a fabrication. but certainly a tense finish, i think, to the da

before this, in rio de neiro, lavrov took part in a meeting of the heads of the g20.l tell you what statements were made. great latin american tour. its culmination ends in brazil, it was here that the meetings of the foreign ministers of the g20 countries took place, and for two days riogenero became the center of world politics. economics, not geopolitics, but it was not possible to bypass brazil’s call to focus on sensitive topics, too closely they are connected. the current situation in the world economy is grossly distorted by the methods the west uses to punish. i would wish that with such appetites, our american colleagues would not choke at their democratic table. the meeting in rio denero took place exactly on the eve of the second anniversary of the special operation in ukraine, but perhaps for the first time this topic did not become a key topic. attempts by some of our western colleagues at the g20 ministerial meetings to divert the discussion from consideration of this key issue at topic of supporting kyiv. regime to baselessly accuse the russian federati

the gaza crisis isolated america in the g20 . this is the title of the washington post report on the g20 statement on the ceasefire in gaza. in this statement, after the two-day meeting of foreign ministers of the group. issued in rio de janeiro, the members criticized the continued attacks on gaza and called for a complete stop to this war. washington skin wrote in this meeting america was also criticized many times for opposing the ceasefire resolution in gaza. at the end of this meeting , us foreign minister anthony blinken, referring to his country's isolation, claimed that the differences are over the methods , not the results. washington. the post compared this year's meeting of the g20 with the meetings of the last two years and wrote that in those meetings, the us led the members on the war in ukraine, but in this year's meeting , it was completely isolated on the issue of the war in gaza. the russian foreign ministry called the european union's sanctions against moscow illegal. the european union today announced its 13th

g20 foreign ministers beat in brazil to talk about the war and the recent death of alexi diwali.lny. hello and welcome to world news america, i am caitrÍona perry. as international pressure on israel to account for the actions in gaza increases, members of the israeli parliament have backed a resolution by the prime minister rejecting any unilateral recognition of palestinian state. 99 of the 100 20 members voted to support the declaration passed earlier this week by the cabinet. it follows efforts by leaders around the world to examine fresh ways to reach a two state solution to the decades long conflict. >> people of israel and the elected representatives are united today as never before, voting overwhelmingly to oppose any attempt to impose a palestinian state on israel. such attempts will only endanger israel and prevent the genuine peace we all seek. peace can only be achieved after we achieve total victory over hamas and through direct negotiations between the parties , direct negotiations without preconditions. caitrÍona: paul adams has the latest in jerusalem. reporter: a

at the g20 site, special attention should be paid to focused on the conflict in ukraine and palestineateral commissions that currently exist cannot cope with what is happening in the world. in particular, the un security council is ill-equipped to deal with the current crises. brazil does not accept. a world in which contradictions are resolved through military force, we call for the world to resolve problems peacefully. any conflict ends at the negotiating table, but it was ukraine that forbade itself to negotiate, as sergei lavrov once again reminded. at work of the heads of foreign policy departments of the twenty countries are monitored by dozens of our colleagues. journalistic luck to get an exclusive interview. the globe publication succeeded. they spoke with foreign minister sergei lavrov. the main topic is included in the title. west and kyiv. has the political will to resolve the conflict. the current g20 meeting is taking place on the eve of the second anniversary of the special military operation in ukraine, and relations between russia and western countries are in deep cri

sergei lavrov held several bilateral negotiations on the sidelines of the ministerial g20.try met with colleagues from turkey and south africa. the focus was on developing cooperation between our countries. the russian embassy in washington sent a note of protest to the state department about the inadmissibility of insults against vladimir putin. this was announced by ambassador anatoly antonov. the statement was published in the telegram channel of the russian department of civil defense. it says that the situation cannot be resolved with a simple apology. antonov emphasized that. presumably she was released from yemen. at least 40 palestinians died in as a result of israeli shelling in the gaza strip. according to al-jazeera tv channel , about 100 more people were injured. footage taken in the affected area shows how doctors carry the dead out of the destroyed building. following airstrikes on residential buildings in the central part of the enclave, the main al-aqsa hospital is overcrowded. meanwhile, the israeli army recorded numerous rocket launches from hezbaleen posi

in the g20 statement about the cease-fire in gaza, which was announced after the two-day meeting of the g20 foreign ministers in riodani , the members criticized the continued attacks on gaza and called for a complete stop to this war. washington post wrote: in this meeting, the united states is also due to opposition the ceasefire in gaza was criticized many times. following the release of the largest passenger plane made in china , the american company boeing announced that it will start its competition with china in the manufacture of airplanes. the c919 aircraft, which was presented at the singapore air industry exhibition , made its first passenger flight in china in june last year with a capacity of nearly 200 passengers . so far, four of these planes have been delivered to different airlines. the russian foreign ministry called the eu sanctions against moscow illegal. the european union on the 13th closed its sanctions against russia in total 194 people and has targeted legal entities. in response, russia has significantly expanded the list of representatives of european institut

this is proving to be a very divisive g20. talking yesterday about the idea that maybe they would not have this on the agenda at all. what are we hearing? we had a reaction from germany. michael: germany obviously spoke very strongly on it. ever since world war ii germany has made a point of always standing by israel's side. it's such an incendiary thing to say. however you look at what israel did, the holocaust -- i think the german prime minister said it right, it's a unique event. it's a-historical to try and lump that together. brazil hosting is surprising too, because it is a drop in the rock there. beyond that you have secretary of state blinken and the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov who will be in the same room. we're just coming up to two years since russia invaded ukraine. we have the death of alexei navalny. we are expecting further u.s. sanctions are going to be announced against russia tomorrow. the g20 was aimed to not only develop countries but important emerging economies, etc. paul: to your point, it wa

paul: as we count down to the g20, there has been a lot of discussion about how the israel gaza conflictcausing a wedge between members. is this an opportunity for the g20 to get back to its basics and explore an area of agreement and cooperation? >> certainly a promising sign. what we are hearing from sources is mood music to these kind of global conversations is better now certainly than it had been in the past couple of years. if we compare to where we are today in february 2024 to where we were in 23 where the story dominating the headlines was a spy balloon and everyone was captivated by that story to where we are now with the u.s. and china having more regular exchanges. having the possibility of treasury secretary yellen going back to china this year and able to talk to each other in a way they have not been able to in a number of years. this provides a glimmer of hope in tech. some of these big problems have to be agreed by the two superpowers and socialized potentially with the g seven and the g20 and to get everybody on board. . the first step is for the two became its to be ta

it was understanding its responsibility in the recently concluded g20. we were equally responsible that we have an entire european union which is not part of the g20 and we pushed it over glad that it happened during our presidency. so yes, i think india does make a very conscious choice because of its challenges and also how it sees its role across the globe, being able to i would say maneuver through these challenges is something i think every country should be looking forward to and morning to align with india and how it sees the world and how it looks at cooperation rather than confrontation. >> just to stick with you here, in particular, do you have broadly, not just european, but many europeans in the room. i think it would be extremely useful for this audience to get a better sense from you for how you imagine the europe-india relationship developing. how is it -- it's very clear that on the one hand, india has a strong and growing relationship with the same time, india considers itself as non-west and at times that takes the form of criticism of
