terry page has put aside some of those buildings and load has been affected. we just don't know the full acceptance of that yet. but uh, like you said that the main tragedy and the about just all have got away from my cache and and doctors note too, which would be happy to buy the villages. and they are usually only even on a normal day are difficult to get to. so if people try and see other people trying to get to the areas we expect to some traffic along the way, but your expecting to be able to drive there? yes, that's what we're doing at the moment we're driving towards a treatment or medications that instead the worst of it except for some damage in a small just so that i just it in those areas,

any of those. but it just does. but it to that i've been for sure that's going to that's on time at the civil side is that will be trying to recover bodies from the rubble. but again, it's going to be challenging to access all of the city to uh, which are at today. is that the you you, you mentioned the fact that it's going to be very challenging. how have authorities been coping with the scale of this disaster? as far as you know, i believe i believe we have lost our journalists and the sub l. show me who is traveling towards the after center near merrick ash obviously will and will reach them again when we do have him. let's turn now to the g. 20 world leaders or

gathering in the indian capital in new delhi for the g. 20 summit. indian prime minister and the rendering modi kicked off the weekend summit by welcoming the african union as the groups newest, permanent member leaders are expected to address a range of issues from climate change to the war in ukraine. the g. 20 is a group of 19 of the world's leading economies, plus the european union, the leaders of china and russia, or not attending the summit. dw staley, deer chief, and rita cima is at the summit earlier. she told me what we can expect today to. hi michael. well the leaders have actually gathered in this building just behind me and the tools have started 5 minutes to move the welcome to the lead is and he made his opening remarks. and the 1st thing he said was that he expressed his condolences for the people who were kids in the us, quick and morocco. and then he made another significant announcement is going to be

g 20 plus one. as of today, he invited the african union to become a permanent member of the g 20. that is a significant because every decision at the g 20 has to be by consensus, every member state and the european union had to re to this decision. and there was widespread support for this, and this is a historic decision for india because as you mentioned, he wanted the global south to be sent to speech in the, in the g 20 presidency. and this is a significant out a lot from the and the also of course, india is trying to promote inclusiveness, decisive action and a blue are to release them and they want different aspects of what the global south is sent to state. for example, in reforming multi lateral banks and financial institutions like the i m f and the was bank. so the more in favor of helping the emoji economies. so you've got

some real news coming out of the summit already. a shooting pain is not coming instead, beijing has sent a chinese premier leach young, who arrived in delhi a couple of hours ago to what extent is that to do with china strain ties with india. so what is the secret? the china and india have the stream ties and they have been stream sort of wide for almost about 3 years when they had a very beautiful confrontation and in the north, in galvan. but that is nothing new. the 2 liters, and she's in pink and dr. mr. moody met at the brick summit in south africa just a short while ago, and they had a brief meeting this. so they will hopes that things had improved between the 2 sides. and also, even though this is richard confrontation of the border, india and china have decided to keep the channels of communication open ministry tools have been going on the portal to my de escalation. and what is also surprising about this decision by and the chinese president,

dr. come with the just very last minute. the china only confirmed earlier this week that the president a, she didn't think was not coming to, denny is also like another underlying fact. both india and china would like to be the da's office of the old, the south, and by india, by making the fuel the south as the top of the agenda at this g. 20 summit is sending a message to china. it's a message. maybe china doesn't like me. i'm going to one imagines that ukraine will be discussed, of course, but any joint statement will be difficult to agree on. despite the absence of vladimir put in, can we expect anything substantive on the war to come out of this summer? this will give us one use paper headline which summed up the situation really well . it said the word is here, but read is the was on ukraine. and that exemplifies actually the deep divisions

that exist within members of the g 20 not the lead negotiator for india. i mean the guns who is just a we spoke yesterday and said that is a draft communicate which is being sent to the lead is now the lead. just have to go through that and then either accepted or for for some revisions. so they seem to be very close. everybody is, nobody wants to be a d break at this time, but the divisions are serious for china. i have said if would like a fruitful outcome, america say that would be it spot and said good luck, goals. the foreign minister of russia has accused the g 7 and the united states of putting pressure on india to come to a consensus, which is in its favor. the e was that it would support any compromise language. so everybody is making law speech at times to come to a significant community and come to a conclusion, but there's also fostering going on. so we don't know what's going to happen at the end of this. we know, at the end of the day, they have narrow the differences,

but whether they can close the gap remains to be seen. remains to be seen. w, as i'm rated cima in delhi. many thanks is ever to increase the flood waters are receding, after claiming at least 10 lives and leaving hundreds stranded without food or water. the rain storms turned streams into raging torrance, bursting dams, washing away roads and bridges and hurling cars into rivers. emergency workers have been sent in throughout central greece, but the lack of access has hampered rescue efforts. some regions received more than a years worth of rain in less than 24 hours. several people are missing, but it's not clear just how many the air force and the fire department are air lifting trapped residents. these people are from the village of bluehost. they waited 3 days without food before being rescued by the army.

further south in columbus. the army is using rubber didn't use to get people out. could i get the disaster of misery? 50 pain, sorrow is such a tragedy that we're suffering and will suffer for a very long time. the damage to our homes is a rep ruble, a lifetime's worth of work lost with them 2 hours. everything is destroyed. the prime minister flew over the flooded areas to assess the damage. he says he's asking the european union for financial assistance to help rebuild the affected areas. is that what should have happened? what's happened? and what could be done better will be discussed later. and let's see our priority at the moment of saving people rescuing those who are at risk in the villages to

which we do not have access for those who can be reached by rescue workers. drones or dropping medicine and other necessities. the torrential rains on flooding, falling wild fires that raged out of control for weeks in greece, before they were brought under control. a brief look now at some of the other stories making news around the world. south africa has announced the desk of zulu to members who to go to lazy. he was 95. with a lazy was the former interior minister and founder of the ink khattab puck, freedom party along side. former president nelson mandela. he was a key figure in south africa's transformation from the white apartheid state into a multi racial democracy in the 19 ninety's. molly has been hit by 3 terror attacks within 24 hours. a group linked to al qaeda says it carried out to your thoughts. on friday, gunman attacked an army base near the city of go. the government says at least 49
