live from washington, this is a bbc news special report on the 620 summit in delhi. world leaders descend on the indian capital for the high—level summit. on the agenda — global food security, climate change, trade and the war in ukraine. but with two notable no—shows — russian president vladimir putin and chinese president xijinping — the war in ukraine looms large. hello, i'm carl nasman. presidents and prime ministers from around the world are gathering in delhi, india for this year's 620 summit. they're set to tackle sustainability, economic growth, and climate change after a year of dangerous and destructive weather across the globe. but the absence of both russian

president vladimir putin and chinese president xi jinping highlights the rising tensions over russia and its war in ukraine at this year's gathering. both leaders sent their foreign ministers in their place. it marks first time xi has skipped the gathering. the event will highlight india prime minister narendra modi's attempt as host to promote the country as a major global power and himself as dominant world leader ahead of a crucial election next year. we're looking at why the 620 gathering is so important, and how the decisions made in delhi this weekend can impact you and the rest of the world. but first, what is the 620? the group of 20 is a block of the world's 20 largest —— the group of 20 is a bloc of the world's 20 largest economies that was formed two years after the 1997 asian financial crisis in response to thailand devaluing its currency and the resulting deep recession in much of east asia. originally, the 620 was a forum for the finance ministers and central bank governors to discuss global economic and financial issues

but by 2008, heads of state and government began meeting to address the 2007 financial crisis. and in 2009, the 620 summit became an annual forum focused notjust on economic issues but sustainable development, health, environment and anti—corruption. the 620 is comprised of 19 countries and the european union and together, its member nations account for an estimated 86% of the world's gross domestic product and two—thirds of its population. the theme of this year's 620 in india is one earth, one family, 0ne future, showcasing a focus on climate change. the countries that comprise the 620 account for 80% of the world's emissions in 2021 and leaders are facing growing urgency to tackle what has been a summer of turbulent weather in the northern hemisphere, including torrential rains, record heat and damaging wildfires, including where they are currently

gathering in new delhi, which, over the past two months, has experienced torrential flooding, landslides and extreme heat. but this year, russia's war in ukraine looms over the summit and may overshadow the agenda. russia and china are already thought to have disputed the wording of a draft statement, criticising russia's invasion of ukraine. and india's economy has become ever more intertwined with russia's since the war started because india is a major importer of russian oil and weapons. it's believed 85% of india's weaponry is supplied by russia, according to estimates from the us institute of peace. and then, there's the glaring absence of russian president vladimir putin, who has not said why he is skipping the gathering. although he does face an arrest warrant from the international criminal court related to his invasion of ukraine, india is not a signatory to the statue that —— statute that would require them to arrest the leader. modi said he spoke with putin by phone last week. india is looking to put aside all these disagreements over

ukraine, hoping they won't derail concerns of the global south and developing countries. 0ur correspondent samira hussain has more. prime minister rishi sunak landed in india. he was greeted by indian dignitaries and dancers. but the colourful arrival won't mask the thorny issues at play. mr sunak reiterated his commitment to supporting the most vulnerable but also made it clear that the uk will support ukraine. one of the priorities i have being here is to highlight the impact of russia's war on millions of vulnerable people round the world, and that's the impact of food prices. recently, russia has pulled out of something called the black sea 6rain initiative, which allowed wheat and other food to leave ukraine — ukraine produces an enormous amount of the world's food. it goes to dozens of the most vulnerable countries. despite india's best efforts to frame the 620 conversations

around issues that affect the global south, russia's invasion remains front and centre. earlier, us treasury secretary janet yellen, who was also in delhi, said america will continue with financial support. we also remain committed to support for ukraine and recently put forward a supplemental funding request. there's been bipartisan support for this funding to date and it's critical that we continue to provide timely economic assistance. the west is pushing ukraine as an issue, putting this year's host of the global summit in a challenging position — india buys weapons and oil from russia but is becoming more aligned with the us. will ukraine derail the talks? issues of conflict and war have an impact on growth

and development, so food, fuel and fertiliser get impacted. that issue has been discussed at great length and we will talk about it once the leaders�* summit is over. but meticulous planning may not be enough to get world leaders to agree. divisions over russia's war in ukraine may derail progress on issues india wants to focus on. for more on the issue of ukraine at the 620, my colleague caitriona perry spoke with illinois congressman mike quigley, who chairs the congressional ukraine caucus. president biden, speaking of allies, is in india at the 620 summit, forming an alliance with india to come to the might of china. what do you expect him to do to try to rally further international support for the war in ukraine? i think president _ for the war in ukraine? i think president biden _ for the war in ukraine? i think president biden probably - president biden probably deserves as much credit as anyone outside of ukraine for

the war moving forward successfully so far. i mean, he has unified the west. this is enough to continue that. i would like to see india do more and particularly have india help freeze out and hurt russia economically or, you know, the war in ukraine but they continue to expand it to the groups outside of nato, i think, is foremost on his mind and radically important to accomplish right now. do you exect accomplish right now. do you meet to _ accomplish right now. do you meet to see _ accomplish right now. do you expect to see some - accomplish right now. do you expect to see some sort - accomplish right now. do you expect to see some sort of i expect to see some sort of agreement on that come out of the 620? we agreement on that come out of the 620? ~ . .,,, ., the 620? we were crossing our finaers the 620? we were crossing our fingers and _ the 620? we were crossing our fingers and hoping _ the 620? we were crossing our fingers and hoping for - the 620? we were crossing our fingers and hoping for the - fingers and hoping for the best. i'd like to think they understand just how important this is. print and public aims arejust not towards this is. print and public aims are just not towards ukraine. it's an agreement —— extreme effort beyond that —— putin;�*s. the agreements that have taken place with the expansion of brick smack is of concern and i would like to think it is not just an us versus them mentality —— brics. reaching

out to entities and countries like india that has agreements with china and russia would help unify our relationships with them and frankly keep them from even once removed helping russia in this effort. let's dive a bit deeper into all of this. plenty to discuss. joining me from washington is alexandra sharp, world brief writer for foreign policy. and candace rondeaux, senior director for the future frontlines program. welcome to you both. alexandra, ijust want to start with you. you wrote an article for foreign policy titled biden seeks to woo the global south away from china at the 620. how do you think president biden will do that and how receptive might developing countries be? well, like you said, idun�*s primary goal here is to assert its dominance among the 620 and among specifically 6lobal

its dominance among the 620 and among specifically global south nations. it is trying to do that by countering chinese influence in the region. already, the biden administration has promised millions of dollars in helping developing nations restructure its at and achieve further debt forgiveness. however, looking at china, china has already invested millions more than that in its belt and road initiative in countries across latin america and across africa so the likelihood of these 6lobal so the likelihood of these global south nations taking the united states's promises to heart is still up in the air, especially because it is unclear which nation may be the stronger security and economic partner. stronger security and economic artner. . . ., ., partner. candice, what do you think? are — partner. candice, what do you think? are these _ partner. candice, what do you think? are these promises - partner. candice, what do you l think? are these promises from the us enough to tempt a few developing nations away from china and over to president biden's side —— candace. fix, china and over to president biden's side -- candace. a lot of global— biden's side -- candace. a lot of global south _ biden's side -- candace. a lot of global south nations, - of global south nations, particularly in places like

abandonment by russia of this green deal-— green deal. -- grain. the 620 auoin in green deal. -- grain. the 620 going in was— green deal. -- grain. the 620 going in was already - going in was already fractionalising and its members were hoping to show it could diversify without obviously losing its dominance, losing its strength. i think russia pulling out of the black sea 6rain initiative hindered the 620's abilities to have economic success going forward, to have an economic heft to it. united states, as you mentioned earlier the broadcast, is already putting india in a pretty tight spot. india is looking at developing stronger ties with washington while at the same time receiving weapons and oilfrom russia while joining forces into a strong relationship with china and its brics alliance. by this summit going into it, already had a lot of dissension within its ranks. having ukraine summit just adds to that. having india host, i think, just adds to that. having india host, ithink, also just adds to that. having india host, i think, also adds to that. g , host, i think, also adds to that. , ., , , host, i think, also adds to that. , , ., host, i think, also adds to that. , ., that. just hopping back to you now quickly. _

saying it was "based on trust and mutual understanding." the white house says it still has concerns about mr modi's controversial human rights record, but those concerns appear to be on the backburner as the us looks to counter china's reach in the region. the summit represents an important showcase for mr modi, amid criticism about tightening controls on press freedom and opposition voices in india. 0ur correspondent yogita limaye has more on india's perspective. 0ut out of the 620 summit we saw presidentjoe biden meeting with indian prime minister narendra modi and soon after that meeting, the trade dispute between the two countries was resolved. both countries saying we are reallyjust furthering the discussions that we had when prime minister narendra modi went to the state visit to the us injune. 0f modi went to the state visit to the us injune. of course during the 620 summit, one of the big issues on the agenda and what is going to overshadow the summit of course, is the war in ukraine, i think india will be hoping that

irrespective of the deep differences between countries on that, irrespective of the fact that russian president vladimir putin is not attending, chinese president xi jinping is not attending, but they will be some joint form of wording that will be agreed to which can be released at the end of the summit. i think what india is also hoping for is perhaps the focus can be on other issues like climate change, like a globalframework for cryptocurrencies. what india has done quite successfully is that it has done what is an annual summit, and a presidency that it got because of rotation, into this mega event where it is trying to showcase its strength to the world and trying to tell the world and trying to tell the world that we can be the voice of the developing world. prime minister narendra modi advocating very strongly for the african union to be included in the 620, so that this grouping can be more representative and fare. as far as the domestic audience in india is concerned, we are going into an election year here, and i think what his government, what his party are trying to say to voters is that

all of these important leaders are coming to india, country's prominence globally is growing, and it is our government that has done that. because what we have seen in new delhi is the spectacular venue, have seen in new delhi is the spectacularvenue, but have seen in new delhi is the spectacular venue, but what we have also seen as impoverished areas, slums being destroyed or hidden from view, the disparity that exists in india's cities being hidden from view. and so people are saying, what is the summit actually really going to get for us on the ground once these meetings are over? we have also heard prime minister narendra modi repeatedly refer to india as the "mother of democracy" and there are many people who are asking questions about that phrasing, because what we are seeing in india is increasing restrictions on press freedom. yogita limaye there. well, on saturday the british prime minister rishi sunak will also meet with narendra modi. the meeting is significant, notjust because both heads of government are hindu,

but because the uk is seeking a majorfree trade agreement with india. india's economy is growing rapidly, let's take a look at the transformation: it was the 11th largest economy 18 years ago but it's been rising in the ranks ever since. within the last year, it overtook the uk to become the fifth largest economy. experts predict that by the end of the decade it will climb the ladder even further, becoming the third largest economy in the world by 2030. my colleague christian fraser is on the ground in delhi, and has been speaking with journalist jyoti malhotra. this is an invaluable opportunity for india to lead on the world stage, does it matter that xijinping is here, can you have a final communicate without the chinese president signing off on it? yes, the premier is coming, li qiang is coming, just like russia is sending sergei lavrov. you can't have a communique but the question is not about who is going to sign up not about who is going to sign up on the communique but what the communique contains. so there is a big paragraph on ukraine. as you know in the

bali summit last year in indonesia, it was paragraph three that was the contentious paragraph because it says that, i believe the paragraph said "we agree to disagree", so the russians and the chinese did not want any criticism on the ukrainian invasion, and everybody else did. but there was some sort of a compromise. this time around, i think the russians and —— are much more hardline on that... mr russians and -- are much more hardline on that. . ._ hardline on that... mr modi said he doesn't _ hardline on that... mr modi said he doesn't think - hardline on that... mr modi said he doesn't think this i hardline on that... mr modi said he doesn't think this isj said he doesn't think this is the forum to discuss global disputes. mr the forum to discuss global denotes— the forum to discuss global disutes. ~ ~., , , disputes. mr modi is right, why should the _ disputes. mr modi is right, why should the 620 _ disputes. mr modi is right, why should the 620 summit - disputes. mr modi is right, why should the 620 summit which l should the 620 summit which came into being in 1999 and later after the 2008 financial crisis, the 620 is an economic forum. let's zoom in on india and the surrounding region. we can bring in brucejones — he's a senior fellow for the centre for east asia policy studies at the brookings

institution. we've already been speaking about presidentjoe biden and indian prime minister narendra modi and this meeting before the summit. how much do you think biden is willing to look past india's and modi's somewhat questionable human rights record to try to further his agenda and the agenda between the two countries? the short answer is completely. building a strong relationship with india is at a core ofjoe biden's foreign policy. it is at the core of the ambition to constrain chinese power in asia, the growing network of alliances and partnerships and securing of political terms across asia is an important part of reaching beyond the western court to the non— western court to the non— western middle powers, and the global south, and it is an important location increasingly for american companies looking to find alternatives to chinese supply. it is kind of a poison

pill, and there are all sorts of reasons why india is important to the us strategically. so quite frankly the us administration is not particularly focused on the internal democratic questions and human rights questions. they get raised, they are there, but they are minor compared to the big strategic picture. compared to the big strategic icture. ., ., ~' compared to the big strategic icture. ., ., ., picture. looking at china now and as we — picture. looking at china now and as we mentioned, - picture. looking at china now. and as we mentioned, president xijinping has never missed the annual group of 20 gathering, i think he would actually be the first chinese leader ever not to attend. what do you think is behind his decision to skip this one, and often sometimes there is even some symbolism in what china does? i there is even some symbolism in what china does?— what china does? i imagine two reasons. people _ what china does? i imagine two reasons. people have _ what china does? i imagine two reasons. people have argued i what china does? i imagine two reasons. people have argued it| reasons. people have argued it is probably because the economic difficulties at home, i'm not really convinced by that. i think there are probably two reasons. there are a number of issues on the table where china would really be in a minority at the 620. on debt relief, food security, on their

fulsome support from russia on ukraine, so xi would come in, at least be at risk of coming into significant criticism and pressure at the 620 to shift his position on a number of these issues, and i would say that would not be comfortable for him, he would want to avoid that. relations with india are pretty tense, ongoing tensions along the border, issues of chinese penetration of indian cyber, the new map that china published which shows china claiming large swabs of indian territory, a whole stove —— whole host of reasons why the relationship is tense. so xi is avoiding tension and avoiding pressure while feeling perfectly comfortable to not help hand india a kind of big moment on the global stage. it weakens the indian 620 xi not to be there. it limits what it could end —— can get done and thatis could end —— can get done and that is part of the difficulties in that relationship, i am sure contributed to his decision not

to travel. , , ., contributed to his decision not to travel, , ., ., ., to travel. just to look ahead briefly now. _ to travel. just to look ahead briefly now, president - to travel. just to look ahead | briefly now, president biden to travel. just to look ahead i briefly now, president biden is going to be visiting vietnam after the 620, they will be signing a new strategic partnership between vietnam and the us, what do you make of this recent push that we have seen from biden into the region, he was recently opening ties with both south korea and japan? —— deepening. i ties with both south korea and japan? -- deepening.- japan? -- deepening. iwould rather say _ japan? -- deepening. iwould rather say the _ japan? -- deepening. iwould rather say the region - japan? -- deepening. iwould rather say the region is - rather say the region is pulling the us back in. even compared to five years ago. all of china's neighbours are increasingly nervous about the direction of chinese policy and extremely rapid military buildup, threatening posturing against taiwan, pressure on the economic front, dramatic pressure, so all these countries including vietnam, korea, japan, etc, are keen to see the intensification of american presence, american diplomacy, security posture. we would love to see a trade deal with the united states and then

not going to get that, but the region is very keen to have more america to balance the more america to balance the more china that they are confronted with. 0bama tried to strengthen ties in asia in his own way, strengthened some ties in asia —— trump in his own way strengthen sometime is asia, biden is trying to do it is a response to the phenomenon of countries seeking to build a relationship with the united states. there is still some hedging, but there is a great deal of interest in the region. biden i think deserves credit for taking advantage of that, particularly in terms of the japan— korea rapprochement that he and his team orchestrated. but it is really the region driving this more than it is the united states.- driving this more than it is the united states. bruce jones, senior fellow _ the united states. bruce jones, senior fellow at _ the united states. bruce jones, senior fellow at the _ the united states. bruce jones, senior fellow at the brookings l senior fellow at the brookings centre for east asia policy, thank you so much.

stay with us here on bbc news. hi there. for many, this weekend is going to be hot and humid again, especially for england and wales, with temperatures only slowly coming down across scotland and northern ireland. and as the cooler air starts to invade in there, we're likely to see increasing chance of thundery downpours, some of which could be quite heavy in places. certainly england and wales on sunday. now we've had some cloud drifting up from the south as we move into the early part of saturday, some mist and low cloud around some coasts of south west england and wales. and it's here where we could see some showers or some thunderstorms, same too, across the north and the west of scotland. but elsewhere, it's a dry and a clear night. and again, another very warm and muggy one to start saturday morning with temperatures no lower than around 18 or 19 in one or two spots. so it's a very warm start to saturday, pretty much from the word go. we'll have sunshine around, but well, this weather front will be pushing into the north west of scotland, bringing thicker cloud breeze, outbreaks of rain, a few showers elsewhere.

and there will be some scattered thundery showers developing across england and wales as we see temperatures peak at around 32 or 33 degrees in the southeast. so this could be the hottest day of the heatwave. but these showers and thunderstorms, although well scattered, could be pretty intense if you catch one and there's a chance of some localised flooding as well. but most places will be dry to take us into saturday evening. we could see further clusters of showers and thunderstorms running up from the south. again, it's going to be a warm and a muggy night, especially so for england and wales with temperatures beginning to come down across the north—west. now the great north run on sunday across north—east england looks pretty decent actually, although there will be some rain around. some of it could be thundery. these temperatures will be pretty comfortable for running in, but we could start off with some thundery rain in the morning and then into the afternoon. heavy showers could develop with a bit of sunshine in between. but sunday is another warm and humid one for england and wales, with a scattering of thunderstorms developing into the afternoon. temperatures again up to 30

degrees in the south—east, but you'll notice the low 20s for scotland and northern ireland. so things are turning cooler and the trend as we head into next week is for this cooler, fresher, less humid air to spread southwards across the country. and that'll introduce northwesterly winds and also plenty of showers, particularly in the north and the west. it'll be much cooler by day, much fresher at night, but still some good spells of sunshine across the south.
