also coming up. mystery boys in facts on school girls in iran, there are claims hard line religious groups are trying to stop pearls from getting an education and a millennial mystery that could be closer to being sold. new technology is giving us glimpses of hidden chambers and one of the world's most famous ancient landmarks . ah, i'm here until welcome to the program. a meeting in delhi of the g 20 group of leading nations has ended in disagreement over the war and ukraine. india's foreign minister says differences on the invasion could not be reconciled despite their opposing stances. the u. s. secretary of state antony blinking, and his russian counterpart sergey lovegrove met for the 1st time since the war

began. a gathering of leaders beset by division, ring as host of the g 20 foreign ministers meeting. india was determined to focus attention beyond the war in ukraine. but despite their best efforts, the conflict quickly dominated the agenda. for the 1st time since the war began, the u. s. and russian top diplomats and spoke face to face on the sidelines of the summit. i told the foreign minister of what i and so many others said last week at the united nations. and what so many g, 20 foreign minister said to day and this war of aggression engage in meaningful diplomacy. that can produce a just and durable piece. but the brief exchange did little to narrow, the divide between them. instead, russian foreign minister. so gay lover of accused western nations of turning the g 20 into a foss. oh, after hours of negotiation,

ministers from 20 of the world's wealthiest nations were unable to agree on a joint declaration. the lead differences on the ukraine issue, which um we could not to reconcile between various bodies who held a different positions. the final declaration had cold for rushes, complete withdrawal from ukraine, a passage that moscow rejected, but they were not alone. china also objected to the statement raising concerns in the west that the 2 nations are moving closer together. ukrainian, it's western allies, fear that china may be considering providing weapons to russia and beijing's decision to side with moscow at the g. 20 has only reinforced that concern. earlier i spoke to jonathan katz the director of democracy initiatives and the senior fellow with the german marshal fund. i asked him how word washington is

about the deepening relationship between moscow and beijing. it's of, of real concern to, to divide in administration to trans atlantic allies, also to partners of ukraine in the pacific as well. so this is not new. we've seen reports about the potential for china to provide significant weapons to russia that has been expressed. the concern has been expressed by washington. and so i still think what you're seeing is sort of a diplomatic dance. china clearly which did not support the un resolution condemning ukraine. a last week has cited too often with moscow. and that's a concern, but the bigger concern is, will they up the ante and provide weapons and other support to russia, which is flagging in its war against ukraine. now as you said, there are this deepening relationships, isn't necessarily something new. vladimir putin has been attempting to fortune

aligns with china for years now. however, it seems china wants to keep russia as a junior partner or both nations pursuing the same goals. look, chad is certainly has its own, its own interest. it's e own economic interests, interest in its region and globally. russia does as well. but where they come together is that they're both authoritarian lead countries that don't like to play by the rules globally. they are those that are seeking to undermine the type of stability that's needed to address global challenges. i find it a farce. you hear mr. lab talk about the g 20 being undermined by the united states when in fact it's russia and china. those countries that are not active players in supporting or addressing global challenges because they're the ones that are undermining the g 20, not the united states, not democratic allies and partners. and so i think what you're saying is that while

there is some separation between what beijing watts ultimately, because it has its own interest, they share too much together right now. and that's a deep concern for washington. now let's stay with the g 20 there for just a 2nd. is china the only nation tacitly supporting russia among the g? 20 or are there other nations that are also sympathetic to rushes cause look, i think there's, there's other g, 20 countries. india included that continued to trade, trade with russia and some that abstained at the un last week on the resolution condemning russia's full scale invasion to be crate on, on the anniversary of february 24th up. so there are some that are sitting on the fence trying to have it both ways. it's hard for me to see how mr. moody and other democracies globally can support and condone war crimes. in ukraine, you can not resolved underlying issues facing the, the globe without addressing war crimes,

without addressing the threats posed by russia not only to ukraine, but their actions that they've taken in places like syria or africa. and so my hope is that india and other countries that have maintain a relationship with the russell think again, support efforts. one. yes, to bring an end to this conflict to but not fuel a mr. putin's war machine. and that, that's a problem. so it's not only in the global, but there are other partners and allies hooting within the g 20. that really, i hope including jerky that can play and even more constructive role at ending the war. but ending support for mr. prudence war machine. alright, i'm afraid we're not to leave it there. that was jonathan cats, a senior fellow with the german marshal fung. thank you for your analysis. thank you. support for ukraine is also expected to be a major topic on a visit by german chancellor of schultz to washington, later on friday shorts, where we meet you as president joe biden,

for talks. leander will focus on russia's invasion and concerns that china will provide military assistance to fruitless yonder schultz last visit with the white house in february of last year. shortly before russia invaded ukraine, he was said to announce a new 400000000 dollar military lay package or chief chapter day. before leaving for the us, transfer shorts emphasized germany's long term commitment to kreme. it's been one year since german chancellor left shows announced a turning point for germany's defense and foreign policy. over the course of that year, germany has upped investments in its own military and round its economic ties with russia and broken its taboos over ascending weapons into conflict zones. taking stop a year after that pivotal speech shows made clear germany will continue supporting ukraine's defense freedoms. the wanting piece does not mean submitting to a big a neighbor enough, but if you crane stop defending itself and it it would not be piece of it. but the

end of ukraine gonzales and that craig supporting ukraine with weapons as something that according to a recent poll, 47 percent of germans view as appropriate. 16 percent say it does now go far enough . one 3rd of german se, it goes too far. in his speech shows found clear words of condemnation for a rush. as president of the fog. the question remains, is putin even ready to negotiate a return to these principles and a just peace? nothing suggested at the moment the moment wished stuff. the majority of germans tend to agree that ukraine must decide for itself when to engage in negotiations with russia. one year into russia's full scale war against ukraine and germany is turn around on defense and foreign policy. germans generally support their government stands towards ukraine. however,

this does not generally extend to the work of their government over half of german saved, they're less or not at all satisfied with it. let's take a look now at some other headlines around the world. cambodian opposition leader came, so we'll learn on friday. if he has been found guilty of charges of treason, the 69 year old is a fierce critic of long time prime minister on certain critics say send use the judicial system to stifle his opponents and insures talk up poses no risk in the countries upcoming elections firefighters in hong kong are battling a blaze at a skyscraper that was under construction, multiple floors when go. my flames. blazes also rotted in for nearby structures and a busy shopping district, but those fires were extinguished. so columbia wants to hobble escobar, legacy late drug in imported and red apartments,
