a talking point. is the delay as chief international editor richard walker explained. let's go back in time for a minute to november 2022. at the last g 20 summit. the there was high drama, the opening ceremony, and this was a dramatic event with the war and ukraine, dividing the host indonesia as president joe co, windows a, made a powerful appeal stop the war at a be stop. the war. the diplomacy was intense. joe biden, and she, jim ping met for the 1st time in years. and again, school the on the summit to achieve full beginning with strong working on the and with that, it was in this time since then, the war has kept raging on. the world is got even more dividers leaving india with

the massive diplomatic challenge of getting the g 20 to come together. this time around. this is the man in the middle. india's main negotiate or shop i spoke to d, w for this week. the challenge is to discuss with our 20 players and finally i live at an aggregate everybody as a result ball. and that sort of makes the job be challenging to we do our best this is meant to be in this moment in the sun, sharing the g 20 for the 1st time. it's positioned itself as the voice of the global sounds standing up for issues the matcher to the developing well 6 of the 12 fastest growing countries in the world today out from africa. so the prime ministers pushed for african union to become a permanent member of g 20. this has had a huge, a very big support from all of the leaders with the word and hopefully we'll see

african union and becoming up on and a bit. geo political divisions still overshadow all of this. she, jim pain is not even showing up. she's decision not to come to delhi, is being seen as a real snap to india and as a risk to chances of a breakthrough on ukraine. the pressure reading remote is negotiating t as in tents that you create an issue may be important. some countries some far to the water, but it's not an important issue for many other countries. all the developing countries, emerging countries for all of us view not created the ukraine wall. that does not bring one issue of a water which is going on for one or the off feels in your ups and best bid on every other issue of the word. you can sense real frustration that india is stuck in the middle of a crisis. there is no faithful and yet that's the reality of the divided. well the we living it. so this we can some, it will be

a test and not just of india would have whether the world is in any fit state. so ever, comments, divisions, a chinese leader has never escaped a g 20 summit except during the pen. dummy dw is deli ferrucci from rita to mind. told us earlier how big a blo she's absence is for the house. i would appreciate it. nicole, they're saying that, you know, they're being quite dismissive about that and saying you don't have b g 20 summit. one of the other leader is not the and she didn't. bank is only missed one summit. so fund that was doing the corporate restrictions when he couldn't travel, but this is correct. it is the 1st time that he's up for. she's not attending a g 20 summit. an even though in just putting on a brave face on this, on the foreign minister said when a need it doesn't fill it up at the g 20 summit. it does not reflect on the cost nation. but having said that, obviously this disappointment is, is being seen as a big bill for, in this aspirations,

to have china on board. particularly since this may influence the outcome of the funding a declaration. and with the 2 liters met briefly in south africa at the big summit, they have been hope and optimism. that's a huge and thing what to an up at the summit. but obviously he's changed his mind and it's that he's not coming now for india and prime minister moody, the g 20 summit is also a chance to showcase itself on the global stage. how important is the meeting for the world's most populous country? are very important as they've made it very important for themselves. nicole, it's the g 20, the presidencies of rotating presidency. so it's up to every country. what is mix of it and india has gone to town. they've put in so much effort in this they have taken away this a meeting, not just, you know, at the meeting which is taking place and then didn't capitalize. they've had some to 100 administrators and low level meetings across the country and about 60 cities . so been putting a lot of effort into this and they also set the agenda,

which we had the in which is report, they talked about, you know, making being the voice of the go, the south. that's a very important part of india is ambition. an agenda industry 20, they also say that for example, the i am at the said that 80 percent of the growth of the coming years will come from emerging country. so imagine countries need to take center stage and that's what they're trying to do within this presidency. of the g. 20 lots of contentious topics on the table there. one of them of course, being the war and ukraine. what role does in the us see itself playing in the context of the conflict? because it's neutral stance. seems to be quite the balancing act, doesn't it? it is quite a balancing act of mismanage to balance it quite well until now. but this could be a fine is tested because this is the most contentious issue on the g 20 agenda. because india has never condemned russia's invasion of ukraine, but he's also or restored to much dialogue. and diplomacy,

being the way for what i think was actually not in the movie sky attendance at the last a g 's. when he saw me to embody what he said, this is not a thought, a real a will. and that was a built the dead. you'll find any. obviously the shape us well meetings will find his dogs before the latest arrived here, hoping that they could be some kind of break through. at the moment. there is no consensus on this issue and we're still waiting to see if there's a final communicate that comes out, which includes condemnation or to compromise a sentence formulation on that ukraine full. but at the moment, the only good thing is that the shed was i've been talking about of the talk tools have not collapse, but a final communicate on this issue could be elusive. we'll have to wait and see though is our daily bureau chief and returned to us. thank you so much and read lots of look now and some of the other stories making news around the world today. north korea says it has launched a new tactical nuclear attack submarine,
