are plausible scenarios which is why there is so much debate with final evidence that is in the public domain so what can we do? we can have better lab security, better training and equip and globally, standards for laboratories. we can also do better in terms of bending pandemics by focusing on animal spillover which is very important. we need better disease surveillance, we need to be having better diagnostics out there and a lot more research being done on preventing pandemics. 75% of infectious diseases, emerging diseases, are from animal origins so we have both plausible scenarios is something we can do to prevent pandemics. something we can do to prevent pandemics-_ something we can do to prevent andemics. ., ., ,, pandemics. you say we can make labs more — pandemics. you say we can make labs more secure. _ pandemics. you say we can make labs more secure. presumably i labs more secure. presumably this was secure. what we meant to read into that? lab accidents _ to read into that? lab accidents happen - to read into that? lab accidents happen all i to read into that? ii_—.j accidents happen all over the globe. it's not specific to this laboratory, but we could

this is bbc news. the latest headlines. as experts tried to find out what caused the fatal train collision in greece, voters decide was an accident waiting to happen. in the final report into the manchester arena bombing is to be published. it focuses on the radicalisation of the man who carried it the 620 the g20 group of wealthy nations now with finance ministers failing to reach a consensus on ukraine, and foreign ministers do any better? the topic is on the agenda. foreign ministers from russia and china are in attendance as well as the us secretary of state but anthony blinken has already said he won't be meeting them privately. our correspondent �*s live at the g20 meeting. it sounds like divisions over ukraine are already overshadowing this meeting. that's rate. tensions between
5:14 am
the 620 that's rate. tensions between the g20 nations over the wall brochure before ministers got around the table. the uk said they would come here to callout russia. the russian embassy in new delhi said that russia would be very critical of the west. it is clear what was on the minds of g20 foreign ministers as they arrived here in delhi yesterday. this morning, the indian prime minister, narendra modi, has addressed foreign ministers who have gathered here and he has appealed to them to come together and focus on finding common ground. he didn't mention the war in ukraine by name. he made no mention by name. he made no mention by name of russia or ukraine, but did acknowledge great to make deep global divisions and urged people to overcome the division though are developing nations. india wants its residency of the 620 to be focused on

developing nations, and helping those without a set of the table to get the agenda and conversation here focused around that. but i think there is a huge danger of the war in ukraine really overshadowing discussions here, despite their best efforts of the host nation. ,, ., . best efforts of the host nation. ., , nation. so if india is successful - nation. so if india is successful as - nation. so if india is successful as the i nation. so if india is i successful as the bridge it nation. so if india is - successful as the bridge it is trying to be, as you are saying, what does it have to actually achieve?— actually achieve? india is -la in: actually achieve? india is playing an _ actually achieve? india is playing an interesting i actually achieve? india is l playing an interesting role here. it's own position, it has taken a neutral stance on the war, and hasn't been very critical of the russian invasion of ukraine. it has talked about wanting to focus on diplomacy and dialogue, but its own position is going to be under scrutiny here as it trans to strike a balance between keeping relations with western nations on side as well is keeping his relationship with russia going, too. the indian external affairs minister met
5:16 am
with sergei lavrov yesterday. they discussed things like trade. india is increasing its imports of russian oil, for example. but india is treading a delicate path to achieve some consensus on the issues it wants to discuss. there are sessions on food security, energy security, terrorism, humanitarian assistance, things that really affect developing nations. so that is what india wants to achieve and modi's address this morning saying do not let your divisions over issues that you are in conflict over come in the way of achieving consensus on other issues. i think india will really hope that they can be some agreement on some of those less politically sensitive issues other than the war in ukraine. ., ~ issues other than the war in ukraine. ., ,, , ., issues other than the war in ukraine-— ukraine. thank you for all that. a french _ ukraine. thank you for all| that. a french government ministers what in the country could be on the verge of a water crisis as a result
5:17 am
of a water crisis as a result of an ongoing winter drought. parts of france have had little or no rain in the past few weeks and water levels have dropped alarmingly. spain has also suffered from the drought, the bbc�*s tim allman explains. this is, or perhaps was, the river loire. france's longest river, which seems to be disappearing before our eyes. for week after week no rain has come. the driest period since records began more than 60 years ago and for the people who live here, these are worrying times. translation: i am scared, i feel like we'll lack water. l i have never seen this. often at this time of the year, as the snow melts, there is a lot of water but right now it is shocking to see the water so low. translation: there is no fishing left. i back in the day, the water levels were high and we caught fish. right now it is no good. we can't fish anymore, at least for now.
5:18 am
winter is normally a crucial period in restoring water levels but not this year, and 2022 was the second—hottest year europe has ever experienced. lack of rain can have a knock—on effect — reduced crops, greater risk of wildfires and potentially rationing. translation: we are in a particular situation i because we are on the verge of a water crisis in our country for the next summer so we are in the process of acting upon it. it is notjust france that's suffering. this is the catalonia region of spain — more dry river beds, more concerns about the future and the problems climate change can cause. restrictions have already been imposed. people will not be able to wash their cars orfill their swimming pools. rain is forecast for the coming days but long—term, water or a lack of it is still a major concern. tim allman, bbc news.

time, and inflation across the uk and eurozone. and did you know that today was world book day? we will fill you in with all of that after this short break. hello there. we're starting off with the weather news that february was a very dry month across the whole of the uk, but particularly so in england. the driest in england for 30 years, and parts of essex only had 3.5mm of rain for the whole month. now, this is the satellite picture from wednesday. you can see the extent of the cloud across the uk, but look closely, we've got some clearer skies set to head into northwest scotland and some clearer skies over the continent that are set to break the cloud across east anglia, the south midlands and southern counties of england as well, whereas this thick cloud out in the north sea, that's going to continue to bring outbreaks of rain over the next few hours. light and patchy stuff across the south and east of scotland and northern england. so, certainly some pretty damp weather here, albeit the rain not particularly heavy. now where the skies do clear,
5:27 am
we're looking at a widespread frost towards the southeast. lowest temperatures about —2 and down to about —4 in the highlands of scotland in the coldest spots. now, we'll take a look at the charts then for thursday. remember, we've got that much thicker cloud across northern england, southeastern scotland. still some patches of light rain to come through the morning, so quite a damp start to the day. best of the sunshine across southern england, the south midlands, southern wales and also northwest scotland, and maybe some breaks in the cloud getting into northern ireland at times. temperatures not really changing much, in what we've seen over recent days, 8 to 10 degrees, but feeling cooler than that in the chilly northeasterly wind that we've still got. i think on friday, by and large, it should be a dry and bright day for most of us, with some sunny spells breaking through at times. temperatures not really changing a great deal. we're looking at highs again around 8 or 9 degrees celsius or so. now, there will be some changes in the weather pattern as we head into this weekend. what we're looking at on saturday is probably a bit more cloud coming back in from the north sea, and sunday, the cloud thickens further to bring us some patchy outbreaks of light rain.
5:28 am
and, so, probably a dry day on saturday, bright conditions. sunday, the chance of a few patches of rain from time to time, but nothing particularly heavy. beyond that, the weather gets a bit more interesting into next week. what happens is we get northerly winds bringing polarair southwards across the uk, and with that, there'll be a significant drop in temperatures, we'll see a return of widespread night—time frost. will be a bit of sunshine around, but, also, for some of us, we're looking at a return of wintry weather with snow in the forecast for some of you. that's the latest.
