urgent it was that the world and that this war that they didn't need, a war like this at this time, and time and time again those are the sort of sentiments we are hearing echoed here at the 620. now, for a wrapup of the day events, let's hear from for a wrapup of the day events, let's hearfrom my colleague. 0ne one by one the leaders streamed in, fresh of his meeting with chinese leader xi jinping, joe biden was ready with a handshake and a smile for the cameras. meantime, russia said that president putin was too busy to attend the summit, so foreign minister sergei lavrov was there to take his place. now the real work begins. the president of the republic of... the indonesian president calling for collaboration to solve the worldposmac�*s office crises. translation: ~ ., crises. translation: ., translation: we are facing crisis after — translation: we are facing crisis after crisis, _ translation: we are facing crisis after crisis, the - crisis after crisis, the covid—i9 pandemic has not ended. rivalries continue to

news —— talk still to come. i5 news —— talk still to come. i3 these sorts of tensions that really are clouding the horizons, so to speak, for the g20 horizons, so to speak, for the 620 as it officially gets under way today. he war in ukraine, as we have pointed out, a key theme here, but also potentially quite a problematic issue for a lot of the countries who are attending the event. a little earlier i spoke with kevin rudd, the former prime minister of australia, who explained how difficult it is for countries attending the g20 is for countries attending the 620 to try to come to any sort of real consensus on the issue of real consensus on the issue of the war in ukraine, particularly when it comes to russia's actions there. the west obviously wanting everybody to have a combined voice on russia. but is unlikely he was telling us that countries like china, india, indonesia will want to do that. so it really is a big question in terms of what kind of statement will come out of the g20 statement will come out of the 620 on ukraine, certainly a lot

for the leaders to get through over the next day and a half, sally. over the next day and a half, sall . , ., ., ' over the next day and a half, sall . , ., ., , ., ., sally. there is an awful lot on the agenda. _ sally. there is an awful lot on the agenda, as _ sally. there is an awful lot on the agenda, as you _ sally. there is an awful lot on the agenda, as you say. - sally. there is an awful lot on the agenda, as you say. an i the agenda, as you say. an president zelensky will very much take the limelight when he joins this meeting via video link. as you say, it is a tricky one for the 620 leaders to agree on. tricky one for the 620 leaders to agree on-— tricky one for the 620 leaders to agree on. absolutely, sally. part of the _ to agree on. absolutely, sally. part of the issue, _ to agree on. absolutely, sally. part of the issue, of _ to agree on. absolutely, sally. part of the issue, of course, i part of the issue, of course, there are as many people does make a countries in this part of the world are continuing to business with russia, for example china and india, when it comes to energy supplies. the big problem for these countries is that they do need to take a stand in some shape orform when it to take a stand in some shape or form when it comes to what has been termed irresponsible language from russia when it comes to nuclear weapons. but at the same time they don't necessarily want to 100% aligned themselves with western countries when it comes to this issue. so it will be interesting to see what kind of statement comes out as often as you point out, the language

from president zelensky very much along the lines of what we've heard before from him with regards to what he says has been a destructive war and one that must end. find has been a destructive war and one that must end.— has been a destructive war and one that must end. and some of these leaders _ one that must end. and some of these leaders have _ one that must end. and some of these leaders have come - these leaders have come straight from sharm el—sheikh, cop27, on the sort of tour, as it were, and the climate will be a huge issue of for discussion as well. cop27 hasn't finished yet, it is still ongoing.— hasn't finished yet, it is still ongoing. hasn't finished yet, it is stillonauoin. ,. ., , still ongoing. this climate is a hue still ongoing. this climate is a huge issue _ still ongoing. this climate is a huge issue here _ still ongoing. this climate is a huge issue here and, - still ongoing. this climate is l a huge issue here and, really, one that has been brought home by the likes of the host country, indonesia. iwas speaking with the indonesian president, joko widodo, head of the g20 president, joko widodo, head of the 620 summit, talking in particular about climate financing, because developing countries like indonesia are trying to make that transition, are they, from being dependent on coal to being able to use more renewable energy, but expensive and it's something that they point out they can't do on their own and they need

investment, they need assistance. in the expectation from developing economies like indonesia is, look, hold on, we were not the ones who polluted the earth, we sort of inherited all or all of this and we're trying to grow our economies as well, so give us that investment, give us the whole, is the message will be hearing from the 620 from likes of indonesia and other developing countries. ., ., ~ indonesia and other developing countries. ., ., ,, , ., , countries. now, thank you very much. countries. now, thank you very much- we _ countries. now, thank you very much. we will— countries. now, thank you very much. we will see _ countries. now, thank you very much. we will see you - countries. now, thank you very much. we will see you later - countries. now, thank you very much. we will see you later in | much. we will see you later in the programme. we'll be looking the issue of indonesia's reliance on coal as it tries to wean itself off. all that still to come. let's get some of the day's other news. the director of the cia has met the head of russia's foreign intelligence service in the turkish capital ankara. the white house said william burns spoke about the consequences of using nuclear weapons, and the risk of escalation — adding that it was not conducting negotiations of any kind, and not discussing a settlement to end the war in ukraine. kurdish groups in turkey and syria have denied being behind a bomb attack that killed six people in istanbul on sunday. two organisations — the pkk and the sdf — said they didn't play any role in the explosion, which happened on a busy

shopping street. the turkish authorities say kurdish militants were to blame. police have arrested the woman suspected of planting a bomb. more than 200 flood rescue operations have been carried out over the past 2a hours in the southeast of australia. it's the fourth major flood crisis so far this year. officials in new south wales say hundreds of residents were rescued by helicopter and boat after rivers rose rapidly on tuesday, cutting off entire towns and inundating houses, highways, bridges, and farms. now to the us. voters in arizona have chosen a democrat as their new governor, defeating a trump—backed candidate. katie hobbs is projected to have beaten kari lake, a high— profile supporter of donald trump and denier of the 2020 election result. arizona is regarded as a battleground state and is expected to play an important role in the next presidential election in 202a.

0ur north america correspondent peter bowes joins us from los angeles. this is another important win for the democrats.— for the democrats. this is usually significant. - for the democrats. this is usually significant. kari i for the democrats. this is - usually significant. kari lake, a strong supporter of donald trump, supporter of his false claims over the 2020 election. she is a hope —— high—profile figure in this day. she has been a news presenter, an evening news presenterfor a number of years and, in fact, part of a campaign was to criticise the mainstream media that she saw as biased in favour of the democrats. it is a close association with donald trump, his close support for her that is perhaps the most significant here. she isn't the only drum supported candidate that has failed to win during

this mid—term election, what has now been a week since polling day, and, of course, we arejust polling day, and, of course, we are just hours away from an announcement from donald trump, announcement from donald trump, a major announcement which is widely expected to be him saying that he is going to stand for the presidency again. so i'd just wonder whether that announcement will come. there is a lot of debate now, isn't there, as to his strength as there, as to his strength as the next republican candidate for presidency.— for presidency. yes. i think there is — for presidency. yes. i think there is a _ for presidency. yes. i think there is a wide _ for presidency. yes. i think there is a wide acceptance | for presidency. yes. i think- there is a wide acceptance that that strength is diminished as a result of what's happened over the last seven days, the fact that he made such a big deal of people like kari lake that he supported for significant person —— positions in local and indeed national government that have not done as well, indeed, have failed to win in those areas. clearly it is going to affect his thinking, orat least is going to affect his thinking, or at least you would assume so. a lot of people saying this is donald trump, he will not back down at this

stage because it is not in his character stop but of course we don't know exactly what his plans are until he speaks. irate plans are until he speaks. we won't. plans are until he speaks. we want and — plans are until he speaks. we won't. and we _ plans are until he speaks. we won't. and we shall wait and see. we will speak to again soon. thank you very much. stay with us on bbc news. can christmas lights supplies survive the cost—of—living crisis? benazir bhutto has claimed victory in pakistan's general election and she's asked pakistan's president to name her as prime minister. jackson's been released on bail of $3 million after turning himself in to police in santa barbara. it was the biggest i demonstration so far the south african government has announced that it's opening the country's

the un secretary general, antonio 6uterres, has urged all the 620 nations to work together to slow global warming, saying their action, or inaction, would dictate the fate of the planet. —— the un has announced that the global population has hit eight billion. demographers chose 15 november to mark this milestone — though it could be up to a year or two on either side. in 1999 and 2011, the un christened several children as the world's six and seven billionth. so what do their lives tell us about the state and future of the global population? the bbc�*s population correspondent stephanie hegarty spoke to them to find out. the day this girl was born was extra special. she was one of a handful of children in the world's 7,000,000,000th baby by the un.

11 years later, the world's population has had 8 billion. angler —, where 0ishee lives, has 70 million more people and it is still growing. —— bangladesh. but the number of children and women are having has women are having here has fallen, from six in the 1980s to two today, thanks to girls education. bangladesh now has potential �* its educated -eo - le the population is still

growing in a lot of places, growing but in a lot of places, it's not many people it's not too many people that they are worried about few. and herzegovina, here in bosnia and herzegovina, population is already declining. it is set to halve in the 50 years. in 1999, in the next 50 years. in 1999, this man was named the world's 6,000,000,000th baby. at 23, he is an economics graduate but he is looking for work and worried he might have to go abroad.

this could become the norm as global population growth slows down over the next 60 years. it is likely to peak around 10 billion by 2080 according to the un. now, let's return to the 620 summit where we have heard that president—elect he has just addressed the delegates via video link to talk about of course the crisis and war in ukraine. the secretary general antonio banderas has also urged all 620 nations to work together to slow global warming saying their action or inaction

would dictate the fate of the planet. he has proposed a climate solidarity pack where all countries would make an extra effort to reduce emissions this decade in line with 1.5 degrees goal and also provide financial and technical help to speed emerging economies�* transition to renewable energy sources. let's go live again to our correspondent who is in bali. for indonesia in particular this is a huge issue, tell us more? it this is a huge issue, tell us more? , ., , , this is a huge issue, tell us more? , ., ,, ., more? it is a huge issue for indonesia. _ more? it is a huge issue for indonesia, particularly - more? it is a huge issue for indonesia, particularly as i more? it is a huge issue for indonesia, particularly as it| indonesia, particularly as it tries to reduce its dependent from coal and make that transition to more renewable, greener energy is. it is very expensive for this country to do that it is an ambition that it wants to start undertaking and has talked about that, the need for investment and climate

financing, an agreement, a rather obligated agreement that may well be announced later during the course of the 620 summit, but for more on this i would like to bring in frank jotzo. professor of environmental economics and climate change economics at the anu crawford school of public policy, where he directs the centre for climate and energy policy. how much focus have the 620 historically given to climate change and is it a key discussion point for them? that topic is certainly on the agenda _ that topic is certainly on the agenda particularly in regard to financing the energy transition. the energy minister's meetings have been very focused on energy transition, on mobilising the massive _ transition, on mobilising the massive amounts of money that will he _ massive amounts of money that will be needed both in the developing country members and in the _ developing country members and in the rich — developing country members and in the rich countries in the 620 — in the rich countries in the 620 to _ in the rich countries in the 620 to move from the old energy system _ 620 to move from the old energy system to — 620 to move from the old energy system to the cleaner low carbon _ system to the cleaner low carbon one so the climate change _ carbon one so the climate

i'm expect some alliances emerge. i'm so— expect some alliances emerge. i'm so sorry frank to cut you off but sadly we are running out of time for this segment. that was frankjotzo, professor of environmental economics and climate change with the amu, that's it from us in bali, back to you. across much of europe, from paris to london, measures are being put in place to keep energy costs down. in some of the iconic shopping areas, lights displays are being switched off, air conditioning is being turned down, and governments are calling for restricted energy use in the face of soaring costs. tom brada reports. with christmas fast approaching, department stores are showing off their festive displays but this trading seasonis displays but this trading season is not a straightforward one. nation and rising energy costs mean retailers have a delicate alan singh to perform. keeping costs at a level they can manage while still bring that sparkle which can pull the punters in. translation: brute punters in. translation: we have to use — punters in. translation: - have to use less energy, less electricity and fewer

energy crisis caused in large part by russia's war in ukraine. concerns over energy supplies have in growing ever since the russian invasion. last month, the body overseeing the's electricity grid warned of a worst—case scenario with blackouts if power plants can't get enough gas. in france, they share that concern. brute get enough gas. in france, they share that concern.— share that concern. we are changing — share that concern. we are changing the _ share that concern. we are changing the target - share that concern. we are changing the target in - share that concern. we are i changing the target in terms share that concern. we are - changing the target in terms of the heat in the store and we are only putting the heat is 17 degrees, it is really a big change. degrees, it is really a big chance. ., degrees, it is really a big change-— degrees, it is really a big chance. ., ., ,, change. here on oxford street the christmas _ change. here on oxford street the christmas lights _ change. here on oxford street the christmas lights which - change. here on oxford street the christmas lights which are| the christmas lights which are usually twinkling around the clock are currently off. this year they only come on three in the and they turn off again at 11 at night. these kinds of measures are in place across europe and while they may take some getting used to, hopefully they won't dim the christmas

cheer. now, we have so much more for you on this programme, or the top is next. they will see you at the moment. hello there. 0n the whole, it was a relatively quiet start to our working week, but a change is on the way, and you can see that as we closed out the day in cornwall on monday with this blanket of cloud a bit like closing the curtains across the south—west and, yes, there's a weather front that's bringing some wet and windy weather. you can see the extent of the cloud on the satellite picture actually, and it's this frontal system tied in to an area of low pressure, which will continue to move further north and east. so, for the next few hours, be prepared for some heavy rain, but more importantly, some gale—force gusts of winds — gusts in excess of 50—60mph as that rain continues to push its way

steadily north and east. so, first thing in the morning, the rain heaviest perhaps across parts of dorset, moving up through hampshire. then that's going to drift its way steadily northwards through the east wales, into the midlands, to north—west england, and eventually, it'll push its way steadily north and east. there will be quite a clearance behind to some sunshine and a scattering of sharp, blustery showers in the far south—west. the winds will be a feature, but the strongest gusts still with that rain, so gusts in excess of 55mph plus in the northern isles as that rain pushes its way steadily northwards. temperatures, 11 to 1a degrees, about where they should be for the time of year, but obviously, it'll feel cooler with the cloud, the wind and the rain. so, the rain pushes its way steadily north, we'll see a cluster of showers through wednesday night across west and south—facing coasts, but where we do have some clearer skies, we'll see low single figures, so it could be a bit of a chilly start to our wednesday morning. 0n the whole, wednesday is a chance to get a little bit of a breather in.

there will be some showers across the south and the west first thing, slowly improving into the afternoon before the next system moves in, more wet and windy weather still yet to come. a cooler day, top temperatures between 10 and 13 celsius. now, it looks likely that we'll see another spell of wet and windy weather through the latter stages of wednesday into thursday before a little ridge of high pressure fills in behind — that's worth bearing in mind. so, all in all, as we close out this week, it looks likely that we will see another unsettled day on thursday, friday, the best of the dry weather, and it's probably a good opportunity to make the most of it. the weekend looks wet and windy once again.
