calling to support a free, open, inclusive, and resilient in the pacific. that is a quote. well, it's their 2nd meeting in less than 6 months with the indian prime minister and visiting the united states back in june. okay, well let's speak no to our correspondent ring june sherman, whose at following at developments for us from the summits at venue itself. hi there region. yeah, o gatherings are everybody's present and the talks, i believe are just the part to kick off. what's on the agenda today? what's the top of the issues for the leaders to speak about? the fact i am joined by john as calculation. we're after the drug, the theme at all, which is so when you, where was the dogs have gathered to be as we speak,

we can see on the big screen prime minister during the movie greeting shaking hands with some of the what he does. he's looking happy rather confident would you say? absolutely this. this is the one moment during the g 20. when they're all have because they're fun. there was generally in most exercise they're going to get during the next 24 hours 48 hours. but this is, they're happy moment it's, they're happy time. it's a photo. maybe better use of the time would be meeting instead of a long walk in the photos. but this is a good moment. india's c $28.00 is comma to time global. still locked in fact the sell west on one side, china and russia on one side. do you think india would be able to navigate? i think they're going to have margin of success pregnant as promoting started off december 1 of last year when he assumed the presidency. any basics said,

i'm going to be focusing on economics. i'm going to be focusing on the global south, that new phrase that we're all using. and we're going to be talking about financing when you called about climate, and particularly in the environment. everything we've said the last several years. we've got to move it up 10 years. we don't have a lot of time. has he been successful with that? i think he has, as you said, it's been a tortured fracture. joyce g. 20. but he's the perfect person. it is the perfect country or for us. however, we might say to be hosting this now because of issues relating to ukraine because of the fact that india is bring country. and what's very interesting with that is next year we will be in brazil, another brick country, and the year after that in south africa, another brit country. so this is very much a transition for the g 20. impart maybe why president she of china decided to stay with her. right. so gee,

20 is we know is this for international economic boss over the last one year, what you've seen is that it's sort of become a bottom ground. and we've seen that because of, you know, the bill is divided in that sense. do you see that's causing problems today and tomorrow? doing what based on the discussions that indian diplomats have been conveying yesterday that the communique which generally is a unanimous document, they seem to be having a consensus around all issues. but ukraine, and there seems to be some change by both the government, the russian federation, and the government, and peoples from china with respect to ukraine from bali last year. so right now, i think that's really the only issue that's going to be whether there is a communicate from the group or whether we have this sort of fractured that. my guess says that they're going to come together on something because it is in the

interest of the russian federation for this to be a good meeting for prime minister mode. because india is a commercial economic, political, financial partner of the russian federation. also, as it is united states, a v 7 remain movies. so people want to try to make certain that this is going to work. but there's no question that the best decision prime on the prime minister modi made was not inviting present. because wherever president soleski goes, he just sucks the officer, turn out of everything. and i'm not criticizing that. it's just a reality. and the government of ukraine, even this morning, they're still trying to make it so he could be here tomorrow. so they're not happy, but for parameters promoting, sometimes less is more and it's better. the presence lensky is not here because then present it air to one and foreign minister love rock. can maybe have some

quiet conversations, whether it's black sea green initiative where there's other issues that are on the table. so, you know, hopefully hopefully we still will have a good 2 days. zalinski not being chavez, fresh children, india went to india, took over the last year. india, $10000.00 is to invite you and even then we saw the risk of non duty settings and i'm going to attach not nitric pushing me, that there was a tremendous amount of pressure on prime minister mode and it continued. so is that here? cuz presence was and can fly in tomorrow so they can, you know, they keep pushing the but it was the right. it was the right move because pri, mr. moody has said, yes, ukraine is important, but it's not the most important issue to the g. 24 to the global south that there are other countries where does the war impact a bit?

sure. and the commodity prices go up one percent in wealthy countries you can deal with. but in the, in the country where they are very, very import sensitive and a politically unstable government. you take a one percent change in commodities that can mean something, but india was correct. keep this focus on all those other issues 1st. and then you can tell, could you have some space for your credit? as you were mentioning yes to be a decrease, i'm increasing is g. 20 shagbark golf. com spoke about how the denny declaration needles and then the phone to them. whether to sign it or not, do you see that as some sort of indication that the government of india is telegraphing as best they can, that ukraine components a problem?

so basically what they're saying is, no one should be surprised if they're, if they communicate isn't what it, what they want it to be. that's a smart thing to politically, because then it doesn't look like the government of india put everything into it. and they got slammed at the last minute. now they were embarrassed. they set the stage in motion so that all of us and that the countries know that there are disagreements. and then hopefully you, they can massage some language. that's that everyone can go away with. i think for the governing the russian federation, just like everybody here. oh government. no one's going to remember what's in the communicate on monday morning. so it's a document that's fleeting and it's useful. it, it sets the tone for president lulu and brazil as, as he comes in december 1. but if they don't agree,

because their disagreements are new brain does that means is few. 20 is, is a failure? no, it just means there are some issues. they're not ready yet to have any green india g 20 has been developed. this ought to be the voice of the bill. on your invited the wrong $120.00 country speak about the issues and they wanted to add on the lines the the heads of states, the membership fee that benefiting both the sites the politically various to present this morning. when i found also interesting is that jerry is very much against because they feel they should be the next member of the they should be g 21, not the european union as an entity. but there are other entities that have always

been invited to the g 7 and the g 20. so it does make sense for the african union to as an entity to be represented on a permanent basis. you know, that's gonna be sort of prime minister motors legacy that he has said. the g 20 has some traditional models. 2023. india is now the largest popular 5 population country in the world. it's the world's largest democracy. we need to twist the g 20 and if we have to crack it a bit to make it more relevant and to make it relevant today, then that's what we're going to do. and as you said, the way he does that is by including more countries that haven't been included in the so president biden yesterday saying that he still helps india can become a member of the nationals of the un security council. so it's he's, he's, he's doing everything that's right for the moment and also of the response that

emails initiated pretty good so. so to sum it up, my last question to you is do you see g 20 to coming to 20? 0 no question. and i see the g 20 becoming the g 25 in you know, maybe by the time maybe after present or lula and for sale of next year or south africa the year after that. but there's no question these groups. and i think you see that with president, she not being here, that's a message, you know, because he's looking at the bricks and from this commode, he also did something which was really smart. he invited the united are members to participate in the g 20. you know i, they remember where it says a january 2024 will be in new member of rex. so he's basically saying their buddy, hey guys, wake up the country club as its existence for all these years. it's over new members. you can't exclude members anymore. because those who are outside this

little tent have more power than those inside the tents. so if you want to continue to be relevant, g 7, g 20, you really need to get with the program and recognize there are billions of people who you also need to pay attention to for. they're going to stop paying attention to you. all right, thank you very much. you're welcome to offer you appreciate you. my pleasure. we're going to be bringing you all the updates from your it is about 530 today. that's the hard t correspondent, ranging shar, may speaking to john calvin lick political on the list senior editor for issue in sites. not in the run up into the g. 20 summit here in and the reports have been circulating in western media of an e. u. charm offensive. on the global side, the presumed goal is to distance those nations from russia and china with the

leaders of both states. absence from the event. with both the chinese and russian president staying away from the 2 day gathering in new delhi. the you once to seize the moment, according to people familiar with the preparations, who ask not to be named discussing internal strategy, the 27 nation block aims to show that it is serious about redefining its partnership with africa. despite the trouble of legacy of colonialism, they said it looks like the european union has become that guy. the one who schemes to hate on you at an event when they find out, be or significant other won't be there. sounds like african leaders attending the g 20 in the absence of russia and china are going to have to put up with being backed across the room by western officials getting all up in their personal space. like every tree does that night clubs. the western process reporting that the e u is planning to avail itself of global summit as an occasion to step up. it's outreach, getting all touchy feely with the global so on the sidelines were sounds like

something for which you need a safe word. well, i would at the club so that you're best he can come and rescue you. it's not like you leaders have been to settle about their intentions. either german chancellor, all of schultz made a trip back in may to african union headquarters in ethiopia. and then else the journey wanted the g 20 to make it official with the african union. we want to support the african union and get misleading the g 20 so that it can participate and have a same decision making. african must play a bigger role in international relations or role that does justice to the continent and is growing population given to africa is currently on us free of cruise that effectively inject european new colonialist interests that have been getting a little too handy with african resources for far too long, africa just might not be in the mood to entrance in western promises of commitments

which so far have yet to materialize. or the usual western pickup lines either. for example, here, zambia is opposition leader putting silver tongued playboy washington in its place during vice president commer harris's visit. the country that does to ford so many governments enough that does lead so many cause enough in cost and other parts of the world. the country that does acute so mental go any does enough and other parts of the world the key level about this room, but those are the proper department for room those and why my goodness today are coming to to just about the american vice president's trip is part of the western seduction strategy born of fear that africa just might want to data around

specifically with russia and china. it's the kind of cleaners that typically comes from in security. the only thing to ever want to be bothered making an effort when they feel that they have competition, which apparently hasn't escaped the attention of experts. these uh, basically desperate kids also die in cost. africa is showing slipping out of the tubs. if you look at the coding ties between beijing and also between most coin africa, i think i have very much considerable and much more viable and friendly alternatives in terms of developing partners in the russia and china. and you just have to wake up and smell the coffee for you as far as seats. in apartment c, the un security calling you and may have a few to do it towards whatever reason. and so when decisions i was thinking i

forgot the voice. why suddenly i very interested all the breaks. it also informed me simple government, but i said more that could be by the fish because when they do that right now, they find forgot loan to pass the recent visit our pool, you know g tranche. so the idea is not for the local africa, very nice to see you, but patricia and of the a. so official gender that does continue to dominate the relationship between africa and the, this in security over what russia and china might have to offer africa would also explain why, right after russian for administer sergey laughter of, toward africa. last year job, i didn't had to interrupt his nap schedule and go all the way over to egypt for the cop 27 summit. while secretary of state anthony blinking lives the continent on

visits to south africa, congo, and vermont, that now perhaps the you will find a way to somehow build new and better ties with africa. but their best shot comes from being totally honest and authentic about what they really want, rather than like, decrease at the bar who pretends that he has absolutely no agenda. what i'm delighted to say that there are very special gas keep coming on. we have indeed at one very special one. joining us now at manji pure, a former indian diploma. i'm foster you're most welcome to the program. thank you very much and thank you for having me. you were a buster to many places over a story career, including the european union. you've got the world descending on india for the 1st time as g, 20 host. how significant is the event this weekend young, very significant. what does it signify? it signifies in various ways, the word recognising in the eyes emerge. remember,

last year we celebrated 75 years of in dallas independence. so far us particularly proficient. we become the largest country in the world. mm hm. in terms of population, it matters and we are on our way to becoming the 3rd largest economy. we have perhaps the 4th largest economy in the world today. all of these things points to the word finding in the country of interest and india and now being able to contribute to the work for human what the g 20 symbolizes. remember, it's the print be most important economies in the world. but we've also invited about 1516 other countries, what equally important both for india and the world. and so therefore they're coming together and perhaps much more important than all of that. at the time when the world is coming out of the school would fund that makes the law down at the

time when there is conflict. and after the time when we must show solid dotted b gets to get up on the most pressing problem. the sustainability, climate change, the depth problem. did you tell the public infrastructure of all of these things? so extremely important for india domestically within the us and for us in the words, you just talked about the key themes that is on the agenda. but are you fearful in any way that could get over shadowed by what some western countries want to talk about? it essentially politicizing this event because there's so many pressing issues. but the conflict in ukraine seems to be overshadowing that from the western point of view. how will that translate over this weekend? you know, let me say, i am not in the business of under playing that, and it's important for the countries of the west invited, especially the defense. i have no issue on the box. let us also remember the jeep

20 it's history. how did it come together? it is the words love just getting to get out of the most important economic plan and to ensure that we are able to ask him for he's going and to get up so that the world's most pressing problems are taken care of. and i mentioned to you, it shows up coming out of the plan that makes climate change sustainable at the depth each and every one of them. and i think the word recognizes. now, as i said, this is not long to meet the conflict. it has its own important, but this is the for them where you must come together on things which are shortly massive and they, you have an opportunity of doing things to get up. let us remind downstairs of when the summit in 2008 started. how we did it by coming together. if we do it coming together, we would have done something for human guidance and for an offset,

the g 7 and what day just to follow one. my points however, is that you have a summit coming together with the so many different nations with, with that their demands there once there needs not. it's great to discuss all about . but if you have one country, say, a west or nation at once, it going in one direction. another nation from the global side leading something else entirely. is it the correct for them going forward because we just, sol, last month, the bricks and you know, they are really good. so you mainly in the same direction essentially there's some issues between member states, but essentially that's what they want. and they're putting the global side of the forefront. this is just to put a point is the g 29 more symbolic then practical? i want to say so, because let me make this particular point. and you know, i know that president teaching thing is don't count present but china and russia on

that. and they have impressed their perspectives. and their point of view are certainly going to be part of not just the deliberation, but the outcome documents, whatever you call them, and whichever form they may be. so what does the g 20 it is not the legal treaty making body. it's the place where countries come together, but sometimes it acts to be. so it may want to be, what is it essentially, let's understand. one, it pointless is domestic action. and different actually in the heart of one yes. all these nod just economies act in the same direction. it impacts the words and hopefully positive. second thing is, it allows the law just plan to get up on view. so that when you go to the b judith point whether it's the u. n or the i m f for the work trade organization. you have the biggest lands order the agreement, and then the, the tutor decisions usually takes of interest. that's the important point in terms

of expansion, because there has been talk on particularly the african union, but we'll get to that in just a moment if we can. but is there an issue because you look at the, you're facing the un on people. i've said it's very much in need of reform because there's so many different views that at the end of the day of practicality is sometimes forgotten about. is there an issue that there's a sweet spot in terms of the g 20 and in, in terms of, of you. if that goes beyond that, it just becomes another un like. so the u. n is a 193 country. we are talking about 20, maybe 21, and i think the previous time in this mention i'll figure out a 55 in a few. we have 9 to look. there are significant differences. the u. n. is it dock that body? uh, it makes laws hard and soft depending on what uh, product drop off the job that has been involved and so on and so forth. the g 20 is about getting the most important countries to for less,

to get up on different issues, which are good to go to too many. now you know, when you, therefore fulton comes of expansions and so on and so forth. let's understand the word to date is vastly different from the word of 1945. if i may use a simple expression concept long thing was the how to date without read like it or not. it has moved to the in the pacific. whether we like it or not, a shot is perhaps one of the most dominant plans in the way things are happening. so i'm afraid the word an international govern loves and also have to change to reflect in temporary, regardless what we just have her on a minute. and that's what i do want to touch upon that, that 55 african nations within the african union. if the join the g 20, what difference does not make? i think it's extremely important. what is the g 20 about at the end of the day, the most capable countries coming together to ensure that the globe does better,

that we fact of the most pressing problems, immediate and long term for human kind. the not just going to not with the countries which are perhaps at the gulf of seeking their place under the global sun development and after cost wise for huge amount or development. if they are partners in this game where there's not really be a great help, not just to the africans, not just through the global thoughts, but in fact, to the entire humanity, i believe. very good. well, thank you so much for it. delving into all those topics with us, we've been speaking too much of fury at former indian and boss through to a whole host of nations and unions. thank you, sir. bye very much. thanks. i'm not is where we leave it for not, but as we say, we're just getting started on an incredible weekend of events. we'll have guess, most hours we'll be delving into the big issues that affect the not just the global side, not just the western world, but the globe up large. stay with the r t international. i'll see you soon.

the the on the beach and i skipped the whiteness senior team and campbell, cisco took the legs, can use me over to go to the go to

the, to the lawn. the bridge will be sitting up with you. i love it. those your learn, your image stuff, or lucas, a lot of new which in the for the the right. so the next and the plane or the rest. these until it was simple for know what to be sure to ease whether east or west north to south. you must,

per phone, global solidarity and global corporation. or your store, the kind that the world has never seen. so east west, and also one time only one. the of the, in the year of 1954, the united states of america engaged in warfare against the people of vietnam. the white house supported the corrupt above in the government of southern vietnam. 1965 americans began their invasion following the aim to defeat the forces of vietnamese patriots. defend the gun was confident that the victory would be on the american

side, due to its military superiority. however, the vietnamese, during this war into total health for the occupants. unable to cope with a guerrillas, the american army started blanket bombing alongside using chemical weapons and naples, which burnt all alive. the village of my lay, where he 1969 american soldiers killed 504 civilians, including 210 children, became a tragic symbol of this war. all and all. during the whole period of this conflict, the usa dropped on vietnam more than $6000000.00 tons of bonds, which is 2 and a half times as much as on germany during the 2nd world war. in 1973, the american army under the pressure of the rebels, withdrew from vietnam, and only 2 years later did the puppet regime. and so i got involved. however,

the vietnamese paid a high price for their freedom. more than 1000000 in vietnamese people became the victims of america in the dressers, the, the craig, and use us our analogy, international latest numbers updating now to almost 300 people that killed in morocco, deadly wake sake, stuff, the country we do have details and company both with the program and 3 soldiers are arrested in parking of fast. so one charges are prompting against the ruling victory, which is led by the wilton youngest. that of state where live from new delhi, where they g 20 summit, the 1st to be ever held on in the, in the store has kicked off. we will be here with all the big developments

throughout the day. thank.
