the hello, i'm quite richardson, welcome to the show. world leaders are gathering in india for a summit of the g. 20 group of leading nations. they will address divisions over the war and ukraine as well as other key issues. and the g. 20 is made of, of the biggest economies, including the us, china, and therapy in union, as well as emerging players like india, brazil, and turkey. us president joe biden has already met with the indian prime minister and the render moody. now, 2 thirds of the world's population was represented at the summit spot. the leaders of china and russia are not attending to debbie's chief international editor richard walker is in delhi. he told us more about talks between joe biden and india

as an arranger moody to load the invite and met just recently in washington, a sign of the real low growing closeness between india and the united states. and the american side. just saying that they're going to be picking up on a lot of conversations loves the agreements they made during that meeting in, in washington dc earlier in the year. and there a range of issues that uh, i'm sorry, big steps. like, for instance, an agreement to have 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 bilateral 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 there's a to kind of levels of bi lateral 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 at 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? yeah, well it's definitely being seen as a blow for the hospital. so blow to the g 20 process that this is a full run that really you should have the top lead is that every year and that she didn't, paying has attended, 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 paid 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 is a massive border dispute. we just so recently when china published a new national map showing that it claims an entire indian state of a rule, not 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 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 in 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 agree to use the same language that they used last year. again, this time, so we don't know yet if that 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. let's turn now to molly, which has been hit by 3 terror attacks within 24 hours. a group affiliated with al qaeda says it carried out the assaults in the latest incidents gunman storms in the army base near the city of gal. hundreds of german troops station nearby had to take cover. the government says 49 civilians and 15 soldiers were killed in the

region in 2 earlier attacks. i see that these correspondent flourish and bonnie about the impact of these attacks. and molly, so this is very, very shocking for a lot of people. i'm very um, very scary. i would see for a lot of people in my, the ordinary citizens in, by the i spoke to some, some, somebody in by me. and um, the reports is that there's just a rise in the people being scared that of the situation just keeps getting worse. if you, if we view as we recall that there was a me chico in my the my, these crazy on that and maybe to reach him. and the main reason for that was because of the security. and in fact, mommy has expelled french a french military and also um the un peacekeeping forces as well because the

cling that they were only able to handle the insecurity. but obviously from the group of things, even then leaning towards russia is not helping things seem to be getting worse and worse every day. yeah, there's a good ruined sense of fear on sets and see a more marion's. yeah, you can totally understand that. do we have any information about the perpetrators behind these attacks as well? we don't necessarily have specific information about the people behind it, but we do know that this was perpetrated by oh, this a series of tax. what's the veteran said by east flemish terry's? of the region of northern by the as basically being besieged by a security on the service. he says, 2012 mean. so 2008. in 2016, there was an agreement between the government and the flemish forces in the area which kind of 12, the situation for

a while. but then the ministry came on to go back and was back to ground 0. so basically a tax have been going for a very long time. the money and a check. this things are getting worse. yeah. could you provide us with some insights into the security situation generally in northern molly? a well, northern body has to be called a fault for insecurity around how long does that hill region having series of attacks, many people they have been forced to leave because of the savvy service groups have busy creek taking over the subject a lot to retreat. we're talking about places as important as the timble to know we, we call to book to he's one of the main historical spots load us for west africa before africa because of the way it has. the oldest university in africa cemetery is taken by the area and destroyed mitchell,

historical buildings. it's there as well. so the secure in security p, like i said in the notes that of my, the has been ongoing for more than 10 years and it continues to unfortunately the dis, deter rates. well, thank you so much for up for providing us with that perspective. that is, our correspondent flourish, will find the many thanks. well, voting is underway in russian occupied regions of southern and eastern ukraine. keep and the west have dismissed the poles as a sham rushing back to authorities or holding elections in the crimea, regions of janette, hans, her son, and so for reason that it illegally annex last year, but does not fully control elections are also being held in crimea. which russia antics back in 2014 and russians are also voting and regional and municipal elections. this weekend. turnout is expected to be low and many prominent

opposition. figures and critics are behind bars. some young candidates are nevertheless hoping to put aside dissolution, meant with politics. and deliver practical solutions of the once a month. the bar wagner of a home of all helps clean up most goes together with the local residents of additions and environmental activists. she call lists and separates both of our barbara doesn't to wants to stop is there she is running as an independent. the candidate is the regional elections. even though improved instruction, any criticism of the government can have house consequences to trust, no matter what happens, there will always be everyday problems that need solve it. i believe i can do that, so i'm ready to put time into it. that's why i'm running for office minutes over with breath and level of autobahn, right? he's 18. she's just started studying political science at the most going either at the same time, she's campaigning for

a seat in the district of parliament on what's called single voting. the russians emanuel regions and victor, they are local parliaments and he's a capital moscow vote as villages and mayo. but when it comes to competing because there is no level maintainance, such as the many restrictions on the election advertising debate is must meet is impossible. because independent media outlets have either had to close or go into exile with the opposition simply has no chance of promoting itself. but the phone went to the old. despite of this part of all right, he's determined to reach as many voters as possible. she has called the nathan to campaign with independence candidates from other districts, with no dictated space to meet the outcomes. they're going to be in a shopping center, the topic, this illusion to the politics and the time. so here's the question. you have the current situation is having

a negative influence on many elections because people who are actively participated 2 years ago say the now the phones are with that they can not change anything. and that's why they no longer want to help. those are the people we want to bring to the parents to prove that it's still worth fighting for will test. but free, fair voting is not every over to you rush. so say experts lead to as likely to change to the possibilities or special elections taking place under the retiree and circumstances. technically, you can choose between different candidates, there are enough of them. but censorship and self censorship. curb any meaningful discussion. welcome to the center of professor for 30 here. i hope it works out, despise the obstacles is of interest the follows. it's a whole probably each and easy future of russia, which she's determined to have

a say in the in sports news. there has been a big upset at the men's basketball world cup in the philippines. germany have storms, the usa when 81131112 reach their 1st world comp final. trans fog. no love the way for germany. be orlando magic guards. 22 points made a huge contribution to his sides when germany now play serbia and sundays final and have already better their previous best of 3rd place. in 2002. the usa missed the final for the 2nd tournament in a row. the players might have been overjoyed at the results, but germany's head coach gordie hubbard, was careful to keep their feet on the ground ahead of sundays, final. so offensively, well, i thought we were really good defense, so we had some work to do. i didn't think we were physical enough. identical resistance was good enough. we gave up too many easy baskets. we made a couple adjustments. um,

sometimes it works. sometimes it doesn't. i think it helped us in the 3rd quarter where the players enjoy this tonight and tomorrow morning we when we wake up, we is over. we're not feeling good about it. we've moved on. we're getting ready for sunday. now just before we leave you a discovery at the bottom of the pacific ocean, that's people asking is in a, or an alien, or maybe just something else altogether. american science has found this was serious specimen off the coast of alaska. they're not sure what it is, spotted on a rock at a depth of more than 3 kilometers. it has been topped a golden egg. let's give it to all kinds of series have emerged on social media, as you can imagine, including that it has an extra terrestrial origin. the object will now be examined in a laboratory if it's in the, was it a small amount of f at all? and just a quick reminder of our top story, the world leaders are gathering in india for the g 20 for the leaders of china and
