ukraine. it follows the 1st face to face conversation between antony blinking and his russian counterpart sir galen rob since the start of the ukraine war. the 2 men on the side lines of the g. 20 meeting in new delhi divisions over the war have dominated the g. 20 russia and china refused to support a demand for moscow to withdraw from ukrainian territories. every 20 member and virtually every country period continues to bear the costs of russia's war of aggression. a war the president putin could end tomorrow. if he chose to do so. the united states didn't want this war. we worked hard to prevent it. like most countries, we want to focus on the fundamental challenges affecting the daily lives of our people. so even as we stand with ukraine while it defends itself as any nation would do in that position, we're also determined to keep working with other countries, deliver solutions to the share challenge. and that's exactly what we did today 3020 . well,
6:03 pm
let's get more on this now. we're joined by kimberly hallett. she's live for us in washington dc. kimberly, what do we make of this brief meeting? hopeful that it took place at all. perhaps not so optimistic. it lasted less than 10 minutes. who is significant, given the fact that it was the 1st face to face these 2 men of had, in some time they have attended international summit together where they've both physically been of the same soil, but never have they been in such close proximity really since said 2022 prior to the invasion. so that's what makes this so significant even if it was a very brief encounter. and as the our press conference with the secretary of state is still ongoing. he did say at the top of it is he's briefing reporters. there and deli, what he conveyed in that very short encounter. and it was really 3 very poignant messages. the 1st that the united states is going to be supporting ukraine for as
6:04 pm
long as it takes saying that it is up to russia to end this war of aggression that the united states is there to support to. and that the way to end this is really with dialogue that that is, the diplomacy is the path to peace. that there is a 10 point plan that has been put forward by a president zalinski in ukraine. and that really seems to be the solution in the eyes of the united states and its allies. so that was the 1st point. the 2nd point made to a lab rav by blinking, is that uh, that really, that the united states believes that the decision by russia to suspend any participation in the new start nuclear treaty. that's the, the treaty really, in terms of russia, in the united states, in terms of arm control, that he call that irresponsible that decision to suspend a participation in that really should be something the united states believe should be reversed in terms of that decision. and finally,
6:05 pm
the 3rd message that was conveyed is that the u. s. believes that the detention of paul well in an american citizen in russia is wrongful and unjust. and that if he should be released immediate, the russia has been holding pall, wayland on espionage charges which the united states claims are false. and kimberly, on that 2nd point that you mentioned that antony blinkin made, you know, he said that whatever else is happening in the world, the u. s. will always be willing to engage with russia on non strategic arms control. do you think that this is the u. s. s way of giving russia and in to engage not just on arms control? i mean, could we see the to build on this less than 10 minute meeting that took place on thursday. 7 well, there, there certainly was that invitation and that something that was underscored by antony blinkin as he has been speaking. but at the same time, there was also
6:06 pm
a very firm message. one of the reporters asked about shyness support for russia. and some of the suggestions that have been made recently that russia may, in fact provide lethal military assistance for to russia in order to sustain its military operation in ukraine. as antony blink was very clear that if china does do that, that would be in his words, a serious problem with serious consequences. not just in the part of the united states, but also allies who would be exploring sanctions of the options further when there are already very tense relations between the united states and china. as well as tense relations between the united states and russia that would only exacerbate those already deteriorating tensions. so well there is this opportunity for improve dialogue. there is also the opportunity based on certain decisions for those things to worsen as well. i should point out very quickly though, there are ongoing our conversations that are going to be taking place here friday.
6:07 pm
present, abide and will be speaking with the german chancellor. all sholtes where these conversations about the ongoing conflict in ukraine and russia's involvement will be taking place here at the white house. kennedy, thank you very much for that. kimberly hancock live in washington dc and the indian foreign minister has confirmed there will be no joint statement from the g 20 meeting saying they can't reach a consensus. pardon the mit todd was at the summit. she reports from new delhi nations, have been read to rating that positions. and we have seen that divide between countries like germany, like the united kingdom, like the european union blocks, are double down on russia, calling it an aggressor. while you know, countries like china has been pushing a, china has been pushing its 12 point piece plan, but the tensions over here have all to put the sport light on in. does diplomatic have john? it's ability to sort of keep walking that diplomatic tightrope. countries like
6:08 pm
india has been importing oil from russia even though there are sanctions. india also has close ties with the united states. now the other thing to note is that the agenda for india has been to really focus on issues of the global south. new daddy has viewed this g 20 president. he has a golden opportunity to project itself as the voice off the global south. and, you know, prime minister in the movie to, in today's statement, also urge nations to find common ground on issues like inflation, issues like food security and climate change. now you crimes, blaming russia for a strike on an apartment block in the city of up of it's yeah, that's killed. at least 2 people, emergency services scramble to rescue victims. from under the rubble, the cities acting mass is the 5 story building was almost completely destroyed. and the attack meanwhile, russia says its forces of responding to

's,
6:13 pm
mayor of his son bull, the country's most popular city, but he's fighting a jail sentence and a political band for defamation. masoud yavari became anchor his 1st c h p mayor and 2019 he previously stood for the far right nationalist movement party said, of course he also has more on the potential candidates until now, announcing a candidate, it has been the biggest mystery of the opposition alliance. which has 6 members known as table of 6. and today they have gathered in one of the opposition parties, islamist is hard at parties headquarters to discuss who will be the candidate, the main opposition part to leader calculator. although it is the kind of self nominated candidate. he's been nearly it run and get campaign as the leader of the largest opposition party, but at the 2nd largest opposition party e party is against his candidates as he has lost all elections so far against
6:14 pm
turkish present. reject type are don, so that party the 2nd largest parties, suggests that a stumble mayor would be the best candidate as he has a similar background. similar history, like ridge of type ardon, as being a met in mayor of a stumbled facing sound for prison sentences, which could give in quotation, a profile of victim. and by this means turkish voters. i might feel a sympathy towards him. on the other hand, encore, a mayor monster, your wife is also one of the very strong this candidates, according to the polls. as many people have trust in him, but many suggest that they may know position part to leader would emphasize his candidacy and encore, a mayor coming from the national. this part to background wouldn't be rip, it wouldn't be representing in the main or position as a candidate, but of course,
6:15 pm
still there might be some surprises. these are the 3 main names being discussed except for the main opposition leader. the other to the potential candidates seem to have a better chance against our dom. now, the turkish government is under pressure from earthquake survivors who say the emergency response was too slow. rob mcbride is joining us live now from ghazi on tech in southern to kia rob. tell us about where you are and what the priority is for people there. yeah, the focus for many people here in the province is affected by this earthquake is the, the reconstruction of when they can move into more permanent homes. and we're getting some better idea of what the government's ambitious plans are, with some numbers being issued on thursday by the ministry verb and zation. and they really are quite staggering the fact that around about now they are still starting work on around 21000 new temporary homes. beyond that,
6:16 pm
in the next couple of months, they're talking about starting work on a quarter of a 1000000 homes throughout the province. it controversially, the government using these special presidential powers that have been granted by this decree that allows the administration to fast track the whole process to get around some of the usual planning that would normally take place. so there is some awesome questions just about the speed of all of this, whether it is being done to quickly some experts, questioning the planning of these new urban areas, but certainly the emergency response to the earthquakes. and then the reconstruction effort is very much going to be the focus is going to play into the upcoming election campaign. you have on the one hand president, the one asking for forgiveness, but saying yes, if we made mistakes, then please forgive us. but promising to rebuild, which does get a lot of traction with people here. also the fact that the government is putting in place these a financial financial help for families also making it impossible to fire anybody
6:17 pm
to make people lose that jobs. which again, gives people a certain amount of assuredness of security for the opposition part that they will be pointing out what they believe has been the, the slowness, the tardiness of the government, to act in the 1st days of this emergency. and also questioning, how can you hold a, what is effectively almost a snap election in a disaster area? do you have the schools to hold the polling stations or even, you know, the problem of people who are registered here to vote, but are no longer here. they are displaced. rob, thank you very much for that. that is rob mcbride with the lace for us live in ghazi on tap. thank you. but plenty more had on the news hour, including ah, violence between israeli police and protest as opposing plans to limit the power of the course. crushed hopes and dreams. we hear from some of the families whose
6:18 pm
relatives have died making a perilous journey from pakistan to italy and in schools. arsenal. move 5 points clear of nearest rival, manchester city in the race for the premier league title. ah, now the world food program has cutting food rations for ra hanger, refugees and bangladesh because of a short fallen international donations. the w. f. p says that urgently needs $125000000.00 from international partners to avoid any further cuts. food rations have been cut from $12.00 to $10.00 per month per person. the cuts to the food ration program come as many staple items are seeing a steep rise and prices use the war in ukraine and growth and global inflation. the food cuts would impact nearly 1000000 hanger, refugees living in bangladesh who fled persecution by myanmar military and 2017. i
6:19 pm
will. let's get more on this now. we're joined by thomas andrews. he's the united nation special rapport tour on the situation of human rights in myanmar. and he's joining us from fairfax and virginia. very good to have you with us on the statement from the w. f. p. couldn't be more strongly worded firstly, can you tell us what is the current state of ro hanger refugees in regards to their, in regards to their nutritional health? well, they are devastated. first of all, i've been talking to many families in the camps in bangladesh of the last couple of days. listen even to this point, even before the coach, they've been struggling to feed their families. 45 percent of the families in these camps at insufficient diet, 41 percent of these right angle children to have stunted growth. over half of the children and over 40 percent of breastfeeding mothers are anemic. so even before these cuts began, yesterday,
6:20 pm
these families were struggling to feed their families and the survive. they are beside themselves as to what they're going to do now that these cuts are in place. and by the way, this is the 1st of a series of cut that the roku program is going to make this good. now go to families having the survive on $0.27 us dollars us cents per day starting next month. if these, these funds are not with what does that even look like in terms of, you know, what does that look like on their plate? what can they have for that? not much. and i can't tell you how agonizing it is for these, these, these mothers and fathers, i was, we can do a mother just just a few minutes ago who was literally trying to make that decision. what does she now give up on? what can she not buy and feed her family she she knows it's already insufficient. and now she's happy to make her very painful, painful decision as to what further she she cut in addition to that,
6:21 pm
as she expressed to me a real concern. number one of crime increasing in the camps because of desperate people without enough to eat. and also i heard a report of again just this morning. of human traffickers are beginning to increase their preparation to begin to offend more of these desperate refugees out on to boat desperate for some kind of some kind of hope. and of course, a very, very look of these are refugees who can't leave the cancer to go outside and, and find work. so why is the w f p facing these cuts? why aren't member nations contributing? that is a very, very good question. and it is completely outrageous, but this is habit. it is very simple. but this is not a natural catastrophe. like the earthquake and turkey and syria. this is a human made catastrophe. all created because
6:22 pm
a nation's government had refused to put the requisite to plunge into this account . that would feed these very desperate families. they can't work their refugees, they are totally dependent upon the international community. but nonetheless, the international community is refusing to put up the money that's required to save these families. it's just simply simply unspeakable unconscionable and outraged and standards could that be because of the cuts that governments are having to make. because of, you know, as we mentioned, the rise and the cost of living everywhere. is there even a factor of, you know, so called donor fatigue. sometimes when we see the disasters that you mentioned and take here and syria, and how do we get around all of this to make sure that the most vulnerable and these people have been extremely vulnerable for many years. now get the bare minimum help that they need. well, i wish i knew the answer that question. i'm desperate to try to figure that out. i
6:23 pm
mean, 1st of all, it's wonderful that you're featuring this on your program today because the, the people who are suffering in these camps of bangladesh, they're in this of the world has turned their attention away. so it is if they don't exist and because they appear not to exist, a government's feel, no sense of obligation or pressure to provide the food that they need for their basic survival. and you're right there's, there's lots of other disasters. one, the world, an enormous pressure for countries to invest enormous amounts of money in weapons of war in various parts of the country, which means with is fewer and fewer dollars for food that could help these families just as wide. it's a horrific situation. yes, there are other community competing demands around the world, but these children deserve or help me when special rappa to on the situation of human rights and me on my thomas andrews. we thank you very much for your time on this very important story. thank you. thank you to greece now where
6:24 pm
