the real costs of the floods increased becomes clear people's dead or displaced an infrastructure badly damaged the hello i'm claire richardson. thank you so much for joining us. we're leaders are gathering in india for a summit of the g. 20 group of meeting nations, l address the divisions over the war and ukraine, as well as other key issues. very 20 features the biggest economies, including the us, china and the european union, as well as emerging players like india, brazil, and turkey. us president joe biden landed in delhi in the last hour or 2 thirds of the world population are going to be represented at this summit, but the leaders of china and russia are not attending. and let's

find out more about that and bring indeed all these chief international editor richard walker, reporting from delhi for us. hi, richard. jo biden's just arrived. now we understand before the stomach kicks off, he's going to be meeting with india is prime minister and run from modi. do we know what they will be talking about? given so i clicked and to emoji and biden met just recently in washington, a sign of the real low growing closeness between india and the united states. and the american side to saying that they're going to be picking up on a lot of conversations loves the agreements they made during that meeting in washington dc earlier in. yeah. and they're a range of issues the, i'm sorry, big steps. like, for instance, an agreement to have a american fighter jet engines manufactured in india, an agreement to sell military drones to india. so they'll be picking up on those conversations. also planning for a client visit by joe biden,

a major visit by joe biden to india in january next year. so we'll have that on the kind of by level level, but of course also they're going to be looking ahead. so the g 20 summit that awaits us over this weekend, and some of the contentious issues, particularly what to do about ukraine. so we'll talk about that in just a moment. so those are 2 kind of levels of bilateral level, but also looking ahead to this summit. yeah, absolutely. i do want to come to the war and ukraine out 1st though. one big thing here, china is liter, cj and ping is not attending as stomach. can you tell us how big of a below his absence is for the host india? or yeah, well it's definitely being seen as a blow for the hospital. so blow to the g 20 process that this is a forum that really you should have the top lead is that every year and that she didn't paying hasn't changed. it made it a priority to attend it until now. so it looks speculation about the reason that the indian side in public,

at least they're trying to downplay it. i say that it's not such a big deal. but if you told you people in private, i've spoken to an observer recently who's close to the government policy here. and this person said that they did pay to be a calculated effort to embarrass india. um, so the indian side, i think really a not happy about this a tool and speculation about why. well, at the moment the india china relationship is in bad shape. there's a massive border dispute. we just saw recently when china published a new national map showing that it plays an entire indian state of a room, that child protection in the northeast of india. but also i think the fact that india is positioning itself and using this g 20 summit strongly to business itself as the voice of the global house, we're going to hear a lot about that well this weekend. and the thing is that china also wants to position itself as the voice of the global so. so i think for all the time that we spend talking about the us, china rifle re,

i think this weekend we're beginning to see how important also the china india rifle rate is to shaping the future of world defense. and richard, just briefly, before we go, um we've mentioned the war and ukraine overshadowing this whole summit. india does seem to want a joint to communicate here. do we know how difficult that's going to be? yeah, it's tough. last year they just about managed it. it was again, so the olds, a joint communicate, did come out with quite critical language about the war and ukraine. this year, russia and china blocking the same language that was used last year. and that leaves india with the task of trying to bring the g 20 together this time around. i think it's a sign of just how divided the world has become that they can't even agreed to use the same language that they used last year. the again, this time, so we don't know yet if there will be agreement works the space over this weekend. we sure will. we thank you so much for your reporting. that is the w's chief international editor richard walker. well, north korea has launched

a new nuclear submarine as part of a drive to ramp up it's naval power. state television showed leader kim jong on at the launch ceremony. he says, go on yet. john yen wants to turn the summary sleep into a task vessels equipped with nuclear weapons. james bradwell and analyst with the career risk of group told us how powerful this new nuclear attack submarine is, as well as close for not quite sure or right now, but it definitely is a warning sign and they see it has dial signals career in the cost of being a proven wrong reasonably quickly, you know, right at one point. so there are many doubts, so they have to be able to develop a miss, also hippy continental united states. and now here we all, with this new uh, tactical nuclear types up moraine it's, it's probably not going to be able to say on the was

a full long enough distance. it's to remain on the texas to go as far as the united states. it is based on a very old, so it'd be, it's aaron model. the submarine, however, is going to potentially the following. type sco, make your weapons and traveling shows the distances about places, threats to us soldiers in the region. as most of course, south korea. japan was james, right. well, speaking to us earlier, we can take a look now at some of the other stories making world news headlines at this hour. at least 64 people have been killed in 2 separate attacks on a passenger boat and an army based in mali. the government says both civilians and soldiers are among the dead. it says a g had hist group with links to al qaeda claims to be behind the attack. a russian missile strike on police headquarters and ukraine's central city of j. t has killed one officer and injured many more. the building and president will let them use the

landscape hometown has been reduced to rubble. 3 people were killed in other attacks across ukraine. booting is underway and russian occupied regions of southern and eastern ukraine, including the city of the next cave and its allies say the poles are a sham. the votes coincide with the regional elections in russia and record rain has caused severe flooding, and hong kong authorities are carrying out rest of operations and, and for people to stay in doors. the cities, whether agency has reported the heaviest hourly rainfall since records began and a century ago. well, a member of germany's foreign intelligence service has been charged with treason for allegedly passing secrets to russia. the man oversaw department monitoring telephone and internet communications. he's been named only as carsten l under germany's privacy laws and he was arrested in december last year. an alleged

conspirator has also been charged let's get more on this from the deed of these political correspondent hands branch. joining me now. hands, can you give us more details about the allegations in this case? i guess we're talking here about an intelligence officer with the rank of colonel who was working for the surveillance section of the german foreign intelligence service. and recently, before his arrest has in fact been put in charge of checking the security clearance of all members working for the intended and service really high ranking person. he's alleged to have copies of 9 documents, of top secret clearance and positives onto an acquaintance of his, the man who is also being arrested and a is a will to accuse as a co conspirator, in this case, pausing them onto this man who was, who isn't a german businessman of russian origin,

who in turn have contacts to russian. businessman, who in turn posts on these documents to the, the russian intelligence service is f as b. and both of them are alleged to have received somewhere on $400000.00 bureaus each in compensation for doing this. so it's really the a top person who is now being accused of this. and so how serious are the charges against him? of the various areas of these driven federal prosecutor has said that so particularly serious case of treason with which these 2 men are being charged to. that means the minimum charge of the minimum sentence will be 5 years if they are convicted by could also be life. imprisonment. is probably the most serious case of spying by russia in germany, all the probably by any other spies that has been found in german intelligence service for several years. for many, many years. it's been taken very seriously by the german rosara cheese and by the

foreign intelligence service. and it's an indication of the rising tensions, obviously, against the background of the attack by russia and ukraine. all of this took place last year off the rush. i had a tech pick ukraine, and that makes it to even most areas because under the circumstances the potential leaks are of consequence. not only for germany, but for your trade in and out of europe. yeah, so with this is probably the most serious case. can you give us a sense of how big of problem spying by russia is within germany? well, it still says that, uh then where we are based uh, is one of the spying capitals of the world. there are lots of, there's lots of spying going on. and certainly russia has been increasing, it's a tends to gather intelligence in germany. i've been many records of cyber attacks, for instance, on the german parliament or other german public institutions. and it has also been

an expulsion of the spies by russia, by russian spies that have been in germany under the cover of diplomatic immunity. in exchange, russia has also expelled some german diplomats. and there is also a big russian community in germany, including this business 9 for instance, who has been arrested. and so there's a potential for a lot of influence also in german society. it's something that is being taken very seriously against the background of the conflict in ukraine. well, thank you so much for bringing us up to speed there. that is our political correspondent. i'm surprised. and a storm daniel has killed at least 13 people and caused widespread destruction across greece, turkey and full guerria. one of the worst hit areas is the port of all those in northern greece, our correspondence. so if you have to have talk, you met some of the residents there struggling to cope weeks after wild fires

raged all across the mediterranean. the balconies are being battered by a c. c. the damage that has been caused by rang 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 good people. it was in the house pieces. but right now, when did you know, need to be next to them to share a lot of what i've got to ship was to

stop in because like this, you know, still the name again stormed down. you is gradually easing, but for now, the only thing the residents of all of us can do is wait for the winds to subside. so that as soon as update at this hour for a short break, my colleague chris cobra, will have more on the g 20 summit and to look at india's searching economy. stay tuned and thanks much for watching the sometimes the shawn rothschild, i choose to be highlighted for sure, every week, not to not really do become a criminal pre crime. a i already told me

is who paralyzed entire societies computers that much.
