narendra modi, indian prime minister, has told president putin that this is not the time for war. putin is making it clear to them that this is the time for war, and he does need their backing because ukraine is out of control, and it's going to escalate. so putin's real appeal here, and he has a huge track record, as we all know of lying, because he said he was never going to invade ukraine. he knows the west doesn't trust him. >> all right, nic, thank you very much from kyiv tonight. and i want to go now to democratic congressman jim himes. he sits on the intelligence committee, and frankly he just returned from ukraine where i know you met with president zelenskyy and other leaders there in kyiv. now, we just showed this footage obtained by a group of independent russian journalists, the soldiers are in russian military fatigues and packed into this disgusting cellar. they are saying they were arrested for refusing to go fight on the front. now we can't independently confirm the video, but does it fit from you're hearing from ukrainian leaders and u.s. intelligence? >> very muc

narendra modi expresssed that directly. _ although there might be that entrenched worldview in termshey think is the hegemony of the us and west, there which bring up all kinds of questions, including for china. there is a difference in interest over this between russia and china to some extent, in that china essentially wants the world order as it is. it wants it to tilt in favour of china, _ but it doesn't want to destroy it. china's prosperity is dependent on the global economy. whereas you feel that the russian strategy of chaos has very few limits and russia has very little to lose by creating chaos. china has quite a lot to lose. thinking of taiwan and other issues. i you might assume there is a equidistance of- guilt or faults here. i cannot get away from . the fact you have to start with first principles. there is an onslaught of one country onto another which,| under all prejudices you mightj hold, needs to be thrown back and needs to be fought. where do you go from there? you cannot equidistance. .. there used to be a world 30 i or 40 years ago where people compared forces

he's been described as a son of india, of the empire and narendra modi has talked about what he called�* between uk indians and indians in india that is represented by mr sunak. now mr sunak was a brexiteer right from the very start, but there is already starting to be suggestions that he might want to be closer to europe than either borisjohnson or liz truss where? or liz truss were? it is a really interesting question because we don't know the answer to that yet. he was, as you said, a committed brexiteer, and a committed brexiteer before many other people in the party there. he actually really believed it. i think he's also somebody who is not naturally antagonistic. he said during his leadership campaign that he didn't think a trade war with europe would be in the uk's national interests. so the hope in brussels is he's going to be a little bit more pragmatic. but, he still the leader of a party that is brexiteer, it is passionately brexiteer and that means he won't have that much room for manoeuvre over things like the northern ireland protocol, all those other loose ends from the

in a tweet, the prime minister of india, narendra modi said...le help to those affected. our south asia editor, anbarasan ethirajan, gave us the latest a short while ago. it is a very tragic and unfortunate incident in the state of gujarat because hundreds of people were out on a holiday — today's a sunday and also a hindu religious festival, the post—diwali period, people still enjoying their holidays and the bridge, a pedestrian bridge, collapsed, trapping 100 people down the river. the authorities have been giving different figures on how many were on the bridge, ranging from 150 up to 500, but what we know is that dozens of people have died and the number of people killed in this accident could increase further. the government has sent an emergency team as we speak. it's already night in india, and they are desperately trying to rescue more people. and one of the eyewitnesses were saying that most of those who died in this incident were women, the pictures themselves are dreadful enough. tao is more about this bridge. tell us more about this

there's been a congratulatory tweet from narendra modi already. perhaps this will help the u.k. get a trade deal with india. but one polled, the word associated with rishi sunak is not that he is the youngest or nonwhite. it is that he is rich. it seems that that is still working against him. the image of him and his loafers and his ax hedge fund. in the u.s., that seem to work so well for donald trump, the dish people playing on his business credentials to getting into the white house. kriti: you spoken that free-trade trade agreement but there is also another intentionally when it comes to frexit relationships. walk me through -- brexit relationships. walk me through the intricacies. i believe there is a law that rishi sunak is starting to get past that could help veto the power of the house of lords when it comes to the post exit agreement. -- post-brexit agreement. lizzy: the big picture is rishi sunak's in this position because he's brought together a broad coalition of mps, including the skeptic wing of the tory party. if he missteps on brexit or tax rises, he could disrup

the reasons you mentioned, the first hindu and british asian prime minister, a fact not lost on narendra modi in india who sends his congratulations. and we will see what he has to say about economic crisis affecting the u.k. he will then set about trying to put together a cabinet. will he keep jeremy hunt as chancellor, according to our colleagues it looks increasingly likely that he will. and we will get more fiscal certainty from jeremy hunt and richey sumac. he is expected to put together across party divides to reach out to supporters of penny mordaunt and liz truss to bring others into the fold, and not just be surrounded by friends. who will get foreign secretary, could that be penny mordaunt? these are big offices of state. and at a time of war in ukraine. dani: anna, thanks so much. i also hope it doesn't rain for your sake. anna edwards doing her best to give us informed. let's get back to the earnings story. the hsbc ceo is stepping down, he will be replaced from january 1. it comes after the bank posted better-than-expected third-quarter profits as rising interest rates boosted le

part because of international criticism from chinese president xi jinping and indian president narendra modie last few weeks. we saw putin today with the leader of the uae who a few days ago agreed to a major cut in oil production. do you believe tha putin is under pressure internationally and is as isolated as the u.s. believes he is? >> i think he is not as isolated as we all would hope that he is, and there are still many countries like china and india, as you mentioned. we do see those countries gradually becoming a bit more critical of the kremlin in the wake of these very brutal attacks. the chinese and indian governments called for more calm, although they fell short of directly cricizing putin, so i think he is attuned to the fact that perhaps as the war continues that russia's position vis-a-vis these countries is declining. i think he is worried that these peer countri will look at him as a declining power, that his position relative to those countries is falling. i agree part of the escalation is in part to demonstrate to these leaders that he is still worthy of theirartnership. >

prime minister of india narendra modi shared his warm congratulations to the new pm — saying he was lookingthe funny thing is although - a reset with europe? possibly yes. the funny thing is although liz - the funny thing is although liz truss did not achieve much she did actually achieve the beginnings of a reset. the tone of the british relationship with the eu to get better when she was prime minister. she turned up to the european political community and new clubs set up by macron and the fact that she turned up and took a concert constructive part and impress people. i think rishi sunak will try to maintain that good tone because he understands the economic consequences of a battleship. that is not good for the economy and he is not good for the economy and he is very focused on the economy. in is very focused on the economy. in terms of personal relationships and migration for example a long glowing row with france over the number of migrants coming across the english channel. how effective do you think you will be at building those friendships beyond the pragmatism? and as friendship
