but the best to see does your news lie from by the us president joe biden isn't in jail for the g. 20 summit. we're the leaders of china and rochester, skipping the meeting by the end of expect to lobby for more solid data to you on climate change on the war. and ukraine also coming up ahead of elections in russia this weekend. we meet juan and young russian comp banding against alpha t and the for news, and went with one of the

massage. this was welcome to the program. if you begin with some breaking news, a strong with creek has struck central rock will killing at least 296 people according to authorities. the earthquake struck late on friday night and the high atlas mountains, a local official, has said most of the depth on mountain areas that are hot to reach separate buildings with collapsed in the city of marcus presidents in the city have decided to stay outside the homes overnight, in case of off the show you be bringing you more updates on that story in the coming i was i will be gone to the g 20 summit where war lido is a gathering in the indian guy pursued new delhi. they will address a range of issues from climate change to the watering ukraine. the g 20 is a group of 19 of the was leading economies plus the european union together the present to the totes of the world population. us president joe biden has already

met with the indian environment. us send it in the more the videos of china and off shelving not be attending the summit of corresponding janetta. do i own it in washington? told us more about the areas whether us and india assisting bridge or cooperation. well, it's helpful to think of this summit in new delhi as building upon the state visit that moody made to washington last june. where the point there was to get the 2 sides closer together on areas like defense and tech. and as we can see from the statement released after the bilateral summit in india, that they highlighted the things like cooperation on fighter manufacturing. they highlighted us drawing sales to india. they also said that supply chain resilience was a major priority for the 2 countries. but the bigger picture that we cannot forget here is that in the, as a geo political star is rising, it's seen as

a regional account to rate the china out of time of increasing chinese assertiveness, the west east. china, as it's most important threat and competitor in deal of course wants better weapons and deeper economic ties with a us. as such, it really does make sense for these countries to grow closer together. some analysts have even called it the most important bilateral relationship of our time . you mentioned the shadow of china that on batch relationship, we know this region thing will not be attending the summit. how much does this have to do with china's was named relationship with the us or does it have to do with the straightened tires of india instead as well, china itself hasn't explained why she didn't thing is in attending and ahead of the g 20 we were at a briefing where we were told that to bite in was disappointed that she didn't thing wasn't going to be attending, that there were important issues on the agenda where china's input would have been

very important. like say, the reforming of multi lateral institutions like the world bang china is a major credit or but so the official line of course remains that it's up to china to explain why she didn't paying isn't going to be there. but of course you can stop speculation. there is a theory that she didn't thing is keeping world leaders one thing so that it increases as leverage whenever he does decide to appear to at similar summits. and there are also those who say that perhaps what he's trying to do here, as you've alluded, is avoid upfront discussions with india over say the shared border issues or even with the u. s. over china is a continued support for russia and vladimir putin as the war and ukraine rages. speaking of fetch water nutrition data is going to be another major to all safe on the agenda and the joint statement on that will be and i'll put it off because well, will the us be able to have any sway in the as

well. ukraine, of course, is going to be a key priority is a key priority for by doing at the summit. and that's even as moody has been determined not to lie to the war dominate discussions he's wanted and increased focus on developing nations for the summit. but what will be interesting to see is whether the absence of children paying vladimir putin will give a bite in the space to push out the world. leaders were present to a line more closely with washington when it comes to supporting ukraine. on the other hand, there's also this reading that that could backfire that the representative sent by put in and she might not have. the cloud might not be in a position to be able to grant the concessions to the other world leaders. that's all sheets and paying and vladimir putin are well not flooding or putting, but just shooting pain that he would have been able to. and such, they might stick to a harder line. we know that the g 20 negotiators failed to agree on

language surrounding surrounding ukraine in the summit declaration. so for that means it's really up to the g. 20 world leaders to take this up with one another. and as you have pointed out, that promise has to be difficult in the next days, quite a bit to follow the dw soneta mellow, and thank you for doing that for us. all right, let's take a look at some of the stories making headlines around the world. molly has been hit by treat that attack. so within 24 hours, a group link to i'll call you beth says it's got it out. the thoughts on friday gunmen attacked an army based near the city of go. the government says at least $49.00 civilians, and 15 solar 0 is what killed in a tax. on post a, the hundreds gathered for renewed for tests against the syrian president bush auto assets. and the government has to deal with the demonstration now. and that's quote, we other rational of civil disobedience actor was say, the protest movements,

thoughts, fundraising, fuel the price is going a russian messiah strike has hit a police building in the central ukraine in city of previously killing one person and injured in thousands of others. the city as president would automated the landscapes home down. in another attack, 3 people have been killed in the southern region of castillo. and now a new biography of elan must says, he disabled his company, installing satellite systems to disrupt the ukrainian don't attack on russian warships and the blackfeet. the billing address found it to the revolution, seeing he did not turn off the system, but draw the refuse to you creating and request to activate it up to crime. yes, for the day of the roster for the must for as he did not want his company space x to be complicit in a major act of war, he began donating stalling so it was supposed to ukraine and the only 2 years of the war, a decision has my of the folks amc now the trip so kind of

private individuals make a decision that could change the costs of the war. we all stopped making professor was tardies at the university of florida. i might not go as far as say, change the whole course of the world, but i think it's a deep, clean, potent and significant fact. i know many people who've already deployed it i'm, i think this is slightly different way of viewing it. the, the reality is the 21st century of states. most few powers rely on private companies of safety, private tech companies, commercial tech companies dying through and digital companies to provide them with key capabilities, communications capabilities, data capabilities, the computer processing capabilities, which they certainly caught through without just to competitors know, the russian military has been equally dependent upon a private, a private organization name, the goal and evolved there was

a very different organizations, brutal kind of medieval most from your organization. but not both sides have been increasingly dependent for the actual war fight and capability on private companies . and the fact is that once they've bought companies all the, you know, absolutely essential to war, fighting to campaigning like cool act as the goodness of that kind of site and how that company types place. and this is where is mosque controversy much is that was last. are these professor asked making no russian back to the heart of do you for holding elections? and the officer, 5 creations of southern and eastern ukraine to and the rest have dismissed the pools of sham photo. so the for ukrainian reasons of doing that's lou, hans capstone and separation are supposed to elect regional legislatures which and so on will appoint, reaching the governors. elections are also being held and try me out. which structure annexed in 2014?

no russians are also watering and regional and municipal elections this weekend to an out is expected to be low, many prominent opposition for it goes who would like to run full office of behind bars some young candidates on never the less hoping to put aside the solution meant with politics and the level of practical solutions. a once a month, wagner up the whole move on helps clean up. most goes together with the local residents of additions and environmental activists recall expensive rates with both of our barbara doesn't to wants to stop is there she is running as an independent candidate is the regional elections, even though improved in structure. any criticism of the government can have house consequences to trust. so 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 it over with

breath and went to the very bottom 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 parliament on what's called single voting. the russians in many regions and victors, they are local parliaments and is a capital scale vote as villages and mayo. but when it comes to competing because there is no level rain seems to show the many restrictions on the election. advertising debate is must meet, is impossible. because independent media outlets have provide there have to close or go into exile with the opposition simply has no chance of promoting itself despite of this 5. 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 gathering to date, you know, shopping center,

the topic, this illusion into the politics and the time. so here's the question you're putting on. the current situation is having a negative influence on many elections because people who are actively participated 2 years ago say the now the found out so 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 table simple to prove that it's still worth fighting for the test. but free and fair voting is not every over to you rush. so say x, there's less 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 curve. any meaningful discussion about the center of pretty fest, surface survey. hey, i hope it works out. despise the obstacles is of interest the follows. it's

a whole, probably the change and the future of russia, which she's determined to have a say not here in germany, a member of the countries phone and television service has been charged with treason for allegedly fostering secrets to russia. the employee oversaw depart, department monitoring, telephone and internet communications has been named only as cost and l on the germany's privacy laws. he was invested in december loss to moving on to sports now, and that's been a big opposite of the men's basketball work up in the philippines. germany stunning, the us winning by just 2 points to reach the 1st one called find the front swab. no lead the way for germany. the orlando, magic gods, 22 points. we had a huge contribution to have 5. been so many now please. so be on sunday as final have already better or the previous best of touch base in 2002. the us missed the
