forces. plus, clearly the pictures and the real cost of the flood, displaced people damaged infrastructure and death. the impact of record. torrential, rain, devastates brief, a neighboring countries the sarah kelly. welcome to the program. the 20 leaders are meeting an india this weekend and mid considerable division over the war and ukraine and other key global issues. the g 20 features the world's biggest economy, such as the united states, china and the european union, as well as emerging players such as india, brazil, and turkey. but the chinese and the russian leader as are not attending the forum

covers 2 thirds of the world's population. but much of the developing world is not represented in particular on the african continent. as the last of representation from the continent is becoming a talking point, a state of his chief international editor richard walker explains. let's go back in time for a minute to november 2022. at the last g 20 summit. there was high drama, the opening ceremony, and this was a dramatic event with the war and ukraine dividing. well, the host indonesia is the president, joe, could we do to made a powerful appeal? stop the war. at a big 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 both with strong working on the and with that it was in the time since then the war has kept raging on the world is good. even more divided, 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 is main. negotiate or shop i spoke to dw with this week. the challenge is to discuss with or when people is and finally i live at an agreement. everybody has a reboot ball and that sort of makes the job be challenging to, we'll do our best. this is meant to be in this moment in this, on sharing the g 20 for the 1st time. it's positioned itself as the voice of the global south, the 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

problem is this bush for african union to become a bowman and member of the 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 be coming up on and then when viggo, 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 and his negotiating t as in tents, the ukraine issue may be important. some countries, some part of the water. but it's not an important issue for many of the 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 of our fields in your ups and best bids 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 way living in. so this, we can some, it will be a test, not just of india, but of whether the world is in any fit states. so ever, comments, divisions, and d, w. 's daily bureau chief, i'm ready to cima is at the g 20. she joins us now. i'm ready to how big a blow is trying those leaders fusion pings absence for the hosts. because the only other g 20 summit that he missed was because of corporate restrictions. that's right, said i say is of course very disappointing. not, not just for the host, but for the entire g 20 given the significance of china has on the was stage and the fact that they were hoping that they'd be able to discuss some of the bigger issues and some contentious issues with china at the table which is region thing. now of course,

officially india is playing down any disappointment and i showed no angle or rancor . in fact, of the, a foreign minister in this said, often, you know, some of you to the other was missing at previous a g 20 summit need does not reflect on the host nation. but you know, is, is still a big blow because everyone would like to keep their, like china at the meeting. and also what was surprising was the china actually decided confirmed which was not attending fairly late in the day, just earlier this week. but it's russia, which said it was not coming. i said, that's why back and said it was sending his phone minutes just have a love job. in the case of china, it was very last minute. and that in itself was either china was expecting some kind of compromise which it didn't get. but without that compromise, it seems that china for that would be left very isolated with president radi move, which it was one of the. and in the meantime, i'm going to us president fight and is expected to arrive at the summit later today,

bilateral talks with moody are on the agenda. what's expected there as well. this is the president biden's 1st for student visit as presidents to india. and the 2nd time that he has a meeting, 5 minutes to know the body, because you know, she hosted 5 minutes to movie for a state visit in june. this is, i'm going to be talking about a range of issues, talking with climate change reforms of multilateral banks and institutions economic cooperation. in fact, india to date says, which is of without a formal letter of calling saying that he wanted to buy po to you one credit to uh, uh, drones from the united states. so defense cooperation is also in the agenda as well as all the critical and emerging technologies on the political front. of course, we'll be talking about ukraine and the differences in the pacific and also the african union, as we heard in richard's report and is very keen that the african union become a permanent member of the g 20. and that is something that president abiding

supports and major in the evening of the meetings. president of prime minister movies invited a president biden for dinner as his place. and henri to india is neutral stance on ukraine. seems to be quite the balancing act is playing a role at this summit, isn't it? it certainly is because india has always said the way forward in this ukraine who is to defend ms. c and dialogue. but it's never, ever opened the condemned russia for this invasion of ukraine. so it, displaying it, sees it's $0.70, a bridge between the 2 sides. now at the body, a declaration in debate of a critical roads. and people are hoping to be some kind of breakthrough, but it has to be very, very challenging to come to a consensus. and they'll meet up comp the shows, but we just saw in riches, reports has said they have gone up now with a dropped you, denny. declaration if it'd be put to the latest and we'd only do it tomorrow

evening once all the lead is a here at the end of this summit, whether it's been accepted or not. dw daily bureau chief, i'm going to cim. i thank you. and let's get more. joining me here in the studio is clifford conan c w's asia analyst. so i will just want to drill down a little bit deeper into caesar and paintings. decision not to go to the g 20. this, this risk isolating china because i mean, at least the west, the united states, europe, for example, the space to gain influence over the global south does not it, it goes to a certain extent, but i think we're dealing with a very different kind of china. these days and clearly she didn't ping has made the decision that he wants to prioritize the kind of multicultural forms that he can control, such as the bricks for him, which we just had in south africa recently. and also the forthcoming belgian road for them, which is going to be happening again,

which is very much china's area of influence. i think they're prepared to take the risk. i think also we shouldn't underestimate the competition between india and china. they put on a brave face, i think for the brick some us um, but basically these to have a lot of issues between each of them. uh, india is also seen as a strategic capacitor for china because it's also trying to become a champion of the global size. and these are the kind of things that won't necessarily go down so well in beijing. so while they're sending a very senior representative, bleach young at the same time, this sudden decision and completely unexplained decision not to attend is very significant. the summit as being viewed as a true test for the 220 at a time when the world is divided on some major, major global issues. and now, you know, there's no rush of there. no, china, what do we make of that? yeah, it's, i don't have a country called a time where we've seen so much global division on all of these international forums and international events are all facing different kinds of threats,

largely through china, boosting its influence. i think a big factor in this is the closeness between uh she, jim ping. i'm glad i'm your pretend. and i think that he wants to show supports to his ally. even though china is nominally neutral on the, on the war in an actual fact it's, it's been pretty much veering towards the russian view um, on the war and ukraine. so, um, there is closest lips and teeth, i think is how i've had that describes them. you've had, you know, they had a meeting in march where they said, how do are overseeing changes the like of which they haven't seen in a 100 years. so you're seeing all these multi polar activity now, which is breaking down in some ways the traditional model is like the g 20 and add the world trade organization. all these international forms are really facing challenges right now. and she is probably more interested in his domestic audience isn't a well, there's reports that he's facing difficulty at home over his handling of the economy because economic growth is suffering. it's still expanding but not as fast

as it used to. he's currently visiting, hey young john province, which is in the northeast. and while he's there, he's being victims of flooding and he's putting on the a strong mind image. but he also likes the foreign policy when. and i think as everyone as every leader who feels themselves under threat does so i think he's, he's very much focusing on showing that he's strong enough not to have to go to the g 20 that he can dictate terms of where and thought china does an international for him, some really interesting context there. clifford coon and as always, thank you so much. well, deli has been getting ready to host the g. 20 summit for some time, and that has meant security measures on a clean up operation, plus a concerted effort to improve the look of the city. it comes out of costs though, for some residents, though, especially the poor ones in slums who have found themselves evicted from their homes, billboard, sidewalks,

and walls. it is hard to navigate the streets of new delhi these days without seeing the preparations for the upcoming summit. the city is gearing up to welcome to g 20 leaders of this popular daily neighborhood. the group of artists are painting graffiti on the walls. local artist had been commissioned by the government to beautify the city. a head of the summit trots online. nina is in charge here. i'm. yeah, it's got to get artwork is a form of celebration. and by doing this, we're welcoming the members of d. 20. in showing india's beauty. we're putting on a great show of welcome across the capital. some are busy planting trees and dressing the city in green, while others are painting roads and flyovers. and all these roads lead us to one destination the main venue, but on monday,

where the summit will take place. this is where the leaders will discuss pressing global issues. but what's missing from the scenes or tell these people? the usually bustling city center has become a ghost town. shops are closed tax season buses aren't allowed in, and even food delivery services are banned from central areas. a local say they're paying a heavy toll for india as showcase summit to another part of the poor have to suffer more than the rich. the rich can still travel because they have money in wealth and get busted, but the poor dying laborers, workers, the poor in the little part of the high. but there's no model that the value out. they are the very about me. and for many more deli residents, this beautification has come at the cost of displacement and loss of livelihood.

since the start of g 20 preparations, thousands of houses and small shops have been demolished. the cities for criticize the demolitions as heartless. the government says the structures were built illegally. either way, it shows how far india is willing to go to make sure the summit is an ideal showcase on the global stage. and here are some other stories making headlines around the world. north korea says that it has launched a new tactical nuclear attack submarine, state news released pictures of the country, his leader, kim jong, on that a ceremony for the launch of and i don't on specified location. north korea has been trying to ramp up it's naval power in recent years. record right in hong kong has caused severe flooding. authorities are carrying out rescue operations and have asked residents to stay in doors until weather conditions improve. the cities, whether agency has reported the highest hourly rein fault since its records began

in 1884 or a new biography about billionaire ilan mosque claims that the businessman disabled his company star link satellite systems to fort a ukrainian drone attack on russian warships near crimea. last year, the book alleges that mosque feared moscow would retaliate with nuclear weapons, most began donating star link terminals to ukraine in the early days of the war. a decision that the author claims mosque is now 2nd guessing. he has yet to respond to the allegations. let's get more on this. let's bring in frank lead, which he is a senior lecturer and strategic studies at portsmouth university and a former u. k. military intelligence officer. welcome back to the program. what do you make of this claim? the musket disabled his company. starling satellite systems to support a ukrainian droned attack on russian warships. i mean, what questions does that race for you? only so the 1st one is how did must know that this topic was taking place and what

he size is. but he was asked to enable satellites of a crime. they're not disabled them, i didn't disabled them. so are you planning purposes to refuse that request on the basis? see you but i find out the 2nd question i have a topic. this is no criticism, particularly ukrainians, is what would they do planning an operation, making the assumption they would have facilities that were in question. so the interesting thing, by the way, is that the assumption behind all this is that style link, which certainly has coverage over the rest of ukraine, does not seem to did nothing about time of, of crime itself. so lots of questions, but i haven't got no doubt the answer. so see dogs over the next few days. and it's interesting, especially because on the show you, you've said in the past that fighting a new crane is a little bit more world war one than a rock war. so, you know, going back in history a little bit back to some of the basics of warfare. how essential though,

is something like star link that technology to ukraine's on the battlefield. one, so i spoke to him, you're trying to set it without style inc. we would be, well, use it to a, but it would be would, it would be in very serious trouble. let's say it's bob salute the central and critical for connor activity. so all the strikes that you see all the dr. strikes the artillery, strikes the communications between, between the military units, also the communications between military units and how the old facilitated by this opposite it'd be unique constellation of satellites. and without that, the sinews of, of, well, if i could not continue to the extent, it's like the 1st world war in the 1st world war, the troops had used telephones where they could 2nd mobil radios. you can't use those systems of communication now to be dropped or destroyed. so you need

satellite communications. he needs secure satellite communications. installing, surprised supplies up. so that raises the big question here, because i'm in the us as nasa. europe has the european space agency. why have they not develop their own star link? aren't they putting their own security at risk by outsourcing such technology to, to a private company? to yeah, great question. so the, the main issue arising opposite this is quote, do you use? so most satellite systems can be used by now that treat also they didn't use a so one example of fix. one example is box, so i'm not so as a, as a sort of likes about. but i would say surveillance company, but the overhead recognizance, you and i could buy that images online the minute the 2 day old 5 or 5 resolution images that we do. but essentially it's just a baby system. same with styling, same as old, or with thousands of other systems in orbit. installing is by far the most efficient communications satellite system to the extent now that japan,

the japanese on forces, considering, according to the report couple months ago, considering having stalling, cuz that communication system, because it's cheaper, faster, more efficient to cause high latency, which means the signal comes quicker than any other competing system. the one problem, of course, which is hinted in your question, is all you developing the key parts of your defense to the left? i won't call them the whims of available musket. the russians have called the wall criminal. but today, to the discretion that side of the company and all the gods company, that's a really difficult question for a lot of a lot of a lot of defense on this now. okay, frank let which thank you so much for joining us to, to share that view. we appreciate it. thanks very much. it is a to now a deadly storm has killed at least 13 people and caused widespread destruction across greece, turkey, and bulgaria. one of the worst hit areas is the greek port city of bolos in the

north of the country. our correspondence, sophia cliff talkie met some of the residents struggling to co weeks after wild fires raged all across the mediterranean. the balconies are being battered by a savage storm in the greek city of balls, residents have been without running water and electricity for days. the water level of the river crest fitness, which runs through follows, has risen by 3 meters. shops remain closed as the owners try to assess the cost of the deluge. that's really key for a mock is, has run her business for 37 years. i believe in a few days we might see holy be let just disappear from the map that you know what this means in one worked got best or fee me. it hurts me. it really does no one know 40 at the foot of mount pelley on this road. there's testament to the waters

force as i am sending your people the residence of come here to see the see the damage that has been caused by all the waters that have been carried down. really unbelievable. and it's so different pictures and back in the city center, people are queueing in front of the supermarket to buy drinking water. but the queue is even bigger in front of the city hall, where water bottles are being distributed for free. a moment's i've seen the people it moves in the house pieces, but right now we'll look, you know, need to be next to them to share a lot of what of cobra gotcha. was to

stop in because like now still living again storm. daniel is gradually easing, but for now, the only thing the residents of all of us can do is wait for the winds to subside from wireless cross now to greece and speak with our correspondence. sophia, accept stuckey. she's back in athens after touring some of the areas worst effected by the floods. sophia, what's the latest where you are? is 7 dead people by now sarah. so another, another person has been found that's just this morning near the beach side of the bolos and everyone fears of course right now that this number will raise within the next hours within the next days. and as the rescue operations are still ongoing . so the heavy rain falls lights east to day, as you can see also in athens,

it's quite sunny, very windy, however, and as the operations are, are going and you don't know what the fire forces and the troops of the army who joined them will. uh fine, so they were arresting people throughout the night. people have to wait and that's remember they have no food or water is there's no electricity and the water supplies and bowlers and even worse in a got a visa and lot is not in 3 color. those cities incense or a grease are affected and that the people had even to clive on the roofs in order to save themselves. so um uh some um were uh telling that with media they had to wait there. they spent the night on the roof until they can be rescued. also, it's not easy to reach as the 5 horses have to have to go to rescue them by boat. also helicopters are operating in the areas that are very difficult to reach and uh,

several people where rescued by boat via the sea, in bowlers including tourist. so it's ongoing, the rain stops are out, but now we see the disaster and cost. and now that the, the rain is using, what are authorities plans to now help people who lost houses and businesses see there is no specific plan yet regarding how the authorities are going to help as right now, this was also uh, uh, stated like that. everything is focusing, everyone is focusing on the rest of operations and to, to help people in the situations right now. but of course, and this is also what people told us um, yesterday, and bolos, they hope to get help to um, to builds back their houses to build their, their businesses. because some people literally lost everything. so it is um its

weight for now how the government will handle it. also, the requirement is through a contract with me to attack these, rescheduled his plans in order to visit the affected areas. so a statement is expected soon. so if you could just talk in athens, thank you. thank you. so you're watching dw news. here's a reminder of the top story that we have been following for you. world leaders are gathering in india for the g 20 summit, hosted by prime minister and a run from loading climate change. and the global economy will be on the agenda in delhi, although china leader will not attend admit disagreements over the warranty. ukraine . don't forget, you can always get t w news on the go. just download our app from google play or from the apple app store. it will give you access to all of the latest news from around the world as well as push notifications for breaking news. coming up after short break,
