of what happened and especially in those remote areas for now or people are, you know, checking in on, know their loved ones and a few of my caches stuff obviously reading and in the past for a longer day or maybe a few days of the til the the total told and and the image of both what happened dec continues don't fold. joyce massage, i'll show me reporting and what still a rather dynamic situation there in mary cash. i'm atx moving on to india will leaders are gathering in the indian capital, new delhi for the g. 20 summit, indian prime minister and a range of motor. you 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 worlds of leading economies plus the european union. the leaders of china and russia are not attending the summit. dw dell, the bureau chief, i'm reach achievement is at the summit. you told me earlier. what this thinking was behind letting the african union in michael, it was very important for india to make his presidency more representative to make the g 20 more representative. so leaders who gathered in this building just behind me and decided in the opening session today that the african union would be a part of the of the g 20. so it's going to be g 20 plus one. and then one african union vote brings 55 countries behind it. know india or we said that the g 20 had to reflect the emerging economies as one is the risk of countries which already in the g 20. and it was an important agenda to have groups like the african union be

part of this. and this was an initiative led by india with supported. but every one of the g 20 countries would that in the g 20 or decisions have to be by consensus in every single country supported india as initiative. it bears repeating to key leaders are not present at this summit. china, is she and rushes fruit and how's it going without them? well, you know, even though a presidency isn't being end up isn't letting me put you on, not here the representatives, you know, be, have a sort of guy lovegrove representing that to me, put to you don't be, have that frame yet. the chunk representing a she didn't think so they are trusted left to minutes of the need is an good representatives of the countries to the voices of russia and china. a very much affidavit up is g 20. but of course, it's not the same as having the leaders themselves. and i talked to a couple of a municipal what's different about that. and someone said,

actually it was really best, the prime minister movie because he now gets such a chance to shine even black to without china the and the other said, but it was a big snow by china that i need and she didn't bring, hasn't come to i'm curious, how likely is it this summit will produce consensus agreements on major issues? one is looking increasingly likely. i'm like, oh, prime minister moody began his opening remarks by saying that there was a crust deficit in the world and he was the worst come together. and bitch, trust and confidence. so i think that was in a meeting to all the leaders that they must put together and come on this particular issue of ukraine, which is divided the will a g 20. now we're getting the bullets coming in, which say that bit is a draft communicate which is going to be submitted to the latest and the dropped communicate has some more details that have come in in the press. one of them is

the sanctions will not be mentioned. another one says that it's specifically talk about russia's war in ukraine as opposed to with ukraine. and also a sentence which is 5 minutes to movie use with in a meeting with president 14 and which was in the bonnie declaration. this is not and it will also be in the new daily declaration. having said that, this is a draft which is being submitted amount to the latest and diplomatic sources say the bill was satisfied with it, but this field or sure, but the russia and china will sign off on this draft communicate dw valley view or chief m rita cima. many, many thanks. a brief look now at some of the other stories making use around the world. south africa has announced the death of zulu leader. mongo switched to beth, and the good you're lazy. he was $95.00 with the lazy was the former interior minister and founder of the ink. how to freedom party along side. former president

nelson mandela. he was a key figure in south africa's transformation from a wide apartheid state into a multi racial democracy in the 19 ninety's. a north korea has marked a 75 years since the countries founding with a massive parade in the capital prong yang leader, king drum boone and his daughter oversaw the ceremony joined by representatives from china and russia. the russian backed authorities are holding elections in the occupied regions of southern and eastern ukraine. cave and the west have dismissed the poles as a sham voters in the 4 ukrainian regions of done yet. little hans, her son ends up a ratio or so posted with lack regional legislatures which in turn will appoint regional governors. elections are also being held in crimea, which russia, of course, and next in 2014 russians are also voting in regional and municipal

elections this weekend. turn out is expected to be low, many prominent opposition figures who would like to run for office are behind bars . some young candidates are nevertheless hoping to put a side disillusionment with politics and deliberate practical solutions. once a month, wagner up a whole bomb helps clean up, most goes together with the local residents of additions and environmental activists recall lists and separates 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 test. so no matter what happens, there will always be everyday problems that need solve. and i believe i can do that . so i'm ready to put time into it. that's why i'm running for office to avoid further level of auto body. right. he's 18,

a whole image. and each of russia, which she's determined to have a say, and we will end it there up. next, we have shift living in the digital age on how tac is changing the yards with everything from robot conductors to ai inspired by land that's after the bank. and of course you can always visit our website, dw, dot com. unlike local more news at the top of the the, the one of mankind's oldest ambitions could be within re what is it really is possible to reverse the
