but it's part of a winter drought that could harold another devastating here for crops and energy supplies. i mean, sport is a game changing here for middle one, all female f one academy is being established with the women's 1st race scheduled for april. ah, i'm feel gale. welcome to the program and meeting in delhi r v g 20 group of industrialized nations has ended in disagreement over the war in ukraine. or india. foreign minister says, difference is about russia's invasion, couldn't be reconciled despite this u. s. secretary of state antony blank, and he's russian counterpart. so de la did speak briefly on the sidelines with a blank and telling laughter off to end the war 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 side lines of the summit. i told the foreign minister what i and so many others said last week at the united nations. and what somebody 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, much on the ukraine issue, which um, we could not to reconcile between various parties 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. ukraine and 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. so i put it to our correspondent, nix connelly in keys, that, that lack of unanimous condemnation of russia's invasion from july 20. couldn't have come as much of a surprise. exactly. i think there's being conserve some time now here in ukraine

that outside of the west, russia is doing a whole lot better at advancing it's narratives at implying that this isn't as clear cut as ukraine's and most european and north american countries see it and that russia is defending legitimate interests on the battlefield here in ukraine. but fundamentally, this is still about china from the ukrainian point of view we've seen in recent months by since the beginning of this war, that china's provide diplomatic sport maybe helped russia to avoid get round western sanctions. but those reports from us intelligence that there is a consideration in china about sending weapons to russia. that is really something people are very worried about here. china has huge stalks of weapons that are compatible with russia for systems. russia is now finally running low on ammunition, only ukrainian front lines that could really be fundamental in its impact. for now it's not happened yet, but there's a real worried that seeing rush sweetness, seeing that russia could potentially end up doing a lot worse. and you just losing this war that china might change its position at

risk conflict with west by sending what consortia. ok, let's, let's turn our sense. mentor matters are concerned ukraine directly. and what are you hearing about these apparent drone attacks on russian civilian infrastructure. but moscow says, have been perpetrated by you cry. we've seen lots of footage on rush social media in the last couple of days of explosions in different box the country. some of this has been been shared by the ukranian mutual authorities with various kinds of movies, kind of implying a some kind of involvement in all this. we don't know that ukraine is working on developing it's long distance drone capacity is trying to take this battle to rushes hinterlands that were to make clear to russia that nowhere really is safe from ukraine. and we're not really sure yet about the impact and the actual success for me. great selective of these attacks, but different direction. russia has been pretty worried, pretty nervous. and there's a sense that even if these attacks are cheating,

that much does destruction. they are certainly making russian public opinion aware of the fact that this is or war that they can say, say from that they are now involved in this. and that basically in cities, within a couple dozen close to 100 clumps from what go are within range of these ukrainian drones and forcing russia to pull back its air defense systems that were previously protecting rush truth from the route and ukraine. then i'll bring home to take them to the kind of russian hinterlands that really is going to have an impact for russian forces. ability to fight. you're in. great. okay, thanks for that. nick, nick connelly and keith is a brief look at some more stories making headlines around the world. why fight is in hong kong a battling a place of a skyscraper that was under construction. multiple floors are in flames. at lasers also broke out in for nearby structures in the busy shopping district, around the mariners club redevelopment project. these were extinct prominent

cambodian opposition figure camera. so car has been sentenced to 27 years house arrest of being found guilty of treason. camps a car is a fierce critic of long time prime minister horn sam, the u. s. has condemned the case is politically motivated. a global day of climate action has begun, including hundreds taking to the streets in australia, unions, workers, and other supporters of the fridays and future movements of joint students in march across sydney, demanding that noble coal oil, or gas projects are approved. similar march is expected to take place across asia, the u. s. in europe and the protest come are made increasing fears about the long term impact of severe a winter. droughts being experienced across europe. rainfall is sharply down in many countries with wide range and consequences for agriculture, energy,

and mo. this is what winter drought looks like across france, spain and italy, lakes and rivers, far below their normal level or dried up entirely. farm fields dry and dusty. this used to be an island in italy's lake, garda no longer fell yardly took with i've lived here for 18 years and i've never seen the lake say dry. i used to come here by boat, but now i can walk. let's hope for rain air. with this year, france saw its longest winter period without rainfall on record $32.00 days. the alps have seen about half their usual snow and italy's river po that feeds much of the country's agriculture is down 61 percent from normal. just one example, italy's rice harvest is threatened for the 2nd year in a row. since you cynical insistence there are problems you have preventing plowing

when the soil is so hard that the plows can't cut through the earth many, no. his cannot. that yell at that. farmers aren't the only ones worried. the lack of snow means less snow melt flowing into lakes and rivers in the coming months. that will translate into less hydro power from dams, as well as less cooling for nuclear reactors. france is developing an action plan to save water at the national level. and this month is one fiscal a nation needs to do with water. what we have done with energy, a kind of sobriety plan, we must all pay attention to this resource that is becoming rare. it's the end of abundance of your office. if you don't find it, is it a fundable? don't fiddle, but no matter how much people conserve more rainfall is necessary, the spring months will be crucial and meteorologists don't know how much rain will fall. if there's not enough. europe may be set for yet another devastating dry

season. together. let's pick up some of those points. river agit neuron john from d w environment to welcome back to the studio magic. so do we now have to accept that's europe is getting dry the well, the climate is, is changed. are but are those patterns now said europe is dryer, and we just adapt to that or is that is the pattern not yet sat? is it just unpredictable? the direction of pretty set for the mediterranean in the mediterranean southern europe. droughts are becoming longer becoming more frequent. that's going into direction for kind of northern europe, western central europe, it's a bit more complex and the less clear. ok, so she'll be be adapting to that dryer future. not absolutely. funding by climate scientists with stress that we need to adopt things have already changed. the world is already $1.00 degrees hotter than it was before we started. but it was a fossil fuels that being said, that isn't or even think of the time it's already changed so we can just stop

trying to do anything for the economy. we need to do. but yes, yes. so, and we're talking about planting different crops, building our apartments differently, the whole 9 yards. everything changing the way we live alive, training food, we eat, changing the places we go, the way we get to work and everything. if you're living through heat waves, if there's not enough water, if rivers are running dry, it stretches across all the possible things that are kind of hard to imagine. so if you've got a nuclear power plant, for instance, that needs be cooled with water normally from a river or a lake or something nearby. and when rivers run dry, quits in france recently, then sometimes i have stopped working to the extent to which the consequence of jumped beyond just the kind of a big thing that you think of is really ground very well. and so has that message got served together because we know that, that there, at the very least they're paying lip service to the notion of climate change,

but has action followed in terms of stopping climate change. we can very clearly say almost no government in the entire world is doing enough. in terms of adapting to it, we can see some small bits of progress. but i mean, even here, the things aren't unexpected, right? it shouldn't be the case that at this point in early march were having be italian, the french government, they're saying for the 1st time that we're going to come up with a plan to deal with it or out. you know, this is coming. that plan should have been coming up with decades ago. europe. drought say last years have been her if it, for farmers, for ordinary people picking southern europe where the wildfire conditions get really bad with really dry that the rain and on top of that it's hotter because of climate change makes it far more likely that well 5 will spread out all of these points the number of lives you can save by having a good plan is really underestimate. it's really not been a big part of it. it does seem to be, it's only when lives are lost. it's only when rivers run dry like this,

and you have to switch off off your nuclear power production that government seem to do more than pay lip service at all. actually this is the thing, this is, this is a real thing. this is not just posters. this is a thing that we have to do something exactly when it comes to the debate. i mean, if a one time offensive mentioned this yesterday, that when emergencies happen, then politician the very quick to say like, ok, we need to restrict freedom in this way that way. but when it comes to when, when we're outside of the emergency period, and we say, well maybe we should think about not doing this or not doing that because we know it will make situation worse than something that the big ideological push back against it. as they're in this kind of broader picture, you do have this kind of disaster driven reaction when we could prepare better agit durango from d w environment one day you going to come here with some good news for federal. thank you. is thought formidable. racing hasn't featured

a female driver since 1976. not a sports organizes of introduced a new or female racing series to help but young women move up from motors for latter. maria graziano la la lombardi is the only woman to ever score points in formula. one in 1975 lombardi scored a championship point in the spanish grand prix. she was considered a trailblazer in several women later entered f. one in many rolls, but not ever started a race. now formula one wants to grease the tracks for women drivers within all female f one academy series. the aim is to develop young women drivers for the very top. want it to be as full one should be in the teacher or should be now, but will be in the future. so i want to see female mechanics. i want to see what we would love to see a female driver. we haven't got that point as yet. but that's why not there's never been a regulation, preventing female drivers from competing in formula. one song from other series

such as jamie chadwick, have said that financial support is a greater obstacle than gender. therefore, a formula one will subsidize each female driven car with the budget of 150000 euros young female driver's face. many barriers when entering the f one pyramid. now they'll have the best opportunities to reach their potential that set you up to date. terry mos in will have more well news at the top of the our dock film is next looking at the growing of resistance to el salvador strict until janice had $1111.00, not single on the gender gap in space exploration. germany's 1st female astronaut has been waiting for years to get her turn. the private initiative is pushing to make it happen. the mission is to.
