The text, at the summit in india, says all states involved in the conflict must refrain from the use of force for territorial gain. But theres no reference to russian aggression, and ukraine says the g20 has nothing to be proud of. From delhi, our political editor, chris mason, reports. Waiting for the world to arrive. The indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, is the host here. The Stumbling Block for the g20 has long been russia and its war in ukraine. Vladimir putin isnt here, its his foreign minister Sergey Lavrov instead. 0thers walking the red carpet, President Biden and rishi sunak. The g20 have agreed a joint communique with very Strong Language about russias illegal war in ukraine. Something i said on my way here that i was keen to highlight was the impact that russias war is having on food prices, notjust at home in the uk but around the world, impacting millions of vulnerable people. Get togethers like this give leaders the chance to catch up. But the truth is the g20 doesnt agree on russias invasion of ukraine. The hosts, india, are effectively neutral on it. But the leaders have agreed, on paper at least, that one country invading another shouldnt happen. And mr modi acknowledged the Global Impact the war has had. He said there was a huge crisis of a lack of trust in the world and claimed the war had deepened this trust deficit. When we can defeat covid, he said, we can also overcome this crisis of mutual trust. Adding, it is time for all of us to move together. But the only way a collection of countries like the g20 can give even the loosest sense of moving together on an issue like russias invasion of ukraine is by adopting rather vague language. And the language in this years declaration is sufficiently vague that the section about the war doesnt even mention russia. And when you compare that with what was said last year, there has been a hardening of positions and the words have been watered down. For the Prime Minister and Narendra Modi, the backslapping for the cameras was certainly fulsome. Both hope to turn this warmth into a uk india trade deal in the coming months. Chris mason, bbc news, in delhi. Lets cross live to delhi with our south asia correspondent yogita limaye. You have been following the summit. This was, there is criticism for this statement, but the robots of negotiations behind the scenes to reach this particular wording. Give us a sense of these talks and how the countries agreed on these particular words, specifically about ukraine. T particular words, specifically about ukraine. ~. , particular words, specifically about ukraine. ~. ~. , ukraine. I think the war in ukraine was a sticking ukraine. I think the war in ukraine was a Sticking Point ukraine. I think the war in ukraine was a Sticking Point during ukraine. I think the war in ukraine was a Sticking Point during the was a Sticking Point during the summit, the g20 summit, which was held in bali last year. It took a very long time for countries there to reach a consensus on wording. That was expected this time around as well. The fact that we have actually had a joint statement that has been agreed upon by all members earlier than expected, a day earlier than expected, suggest that the negotiations and what it should say, specifically on the war in ukraine, they started even before the meetings that were held here in delhi. Indias Foreign Affairs minister reacting to a question about why that wording has been significantly watered down said, look, bali was last year, new delhi was the sheer, there are different circumstances this year. He also said they were developing countries that actually took the lead, suggesting india and other developing nations took the lead to get a consensus on the wording. As we saw in that report, no mention of russia. The language significantly watered down for what was said last year, so unsurprisingly, a reaction coming in from year, so unsurprisingly, a reaction Coming Infrom Ukraine year, so unsurprisingly, a reaction coming in from ukraine that this statement is nothing to be proud of. Unsurprisingly, ukraine will be disappointed with what is being said today. Disappointed with what is being said toda. �. , ~ ,. , today. Another Key Development is the fact that today.

India has been advocating, its Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been advocating very strongly further African Union to become a member of the g20. He had written to members of the g20 urging them to allow this, and that has actually happened. In some ways, it is one of the main tangible outcomes of the g20 summit in delhi. India has been repeatedly saying that multilateral groupings and institutions need to become truly representative and fear of all countries around the world, notjust depending on how economically strong they are, but the voices should be diverse. I think whats happened today will allow countries in africa today will allow countries in africa to have more of a voice on various things, including, for example, debt restructuring, lending, or really key issues. India will see this as a win. There are analysts who are also saying that one of the reasons india wants to have support in africa is to counter chinas growing influence in the continent. In the continent. Thank you very much, in the continent. Thank you very much. Are in the continent. Thank you very much, are south in the continent.

Now to ukraine, with Hundreds Of Thousands of men now serving in its armed forces, and overfive million women having fled the country, there are few families which have escaped being split apart by the russian invasion. Ukrainian scientists are warning this could have a long term impact of the countrys population, with birth rates plummeting since the war began. But there are young couples who have decided to bring a new life into the world, in spite of the circumstances. 0ur ukrainian correspondent, Zhanna Bezpiatchuk has been speaking to mothers and medical professionals in the town of bucha, the site of some of the war� s most horrific atrocities. 39 year old natalia is a childrens doctor in bucha, which has gone through the worst kind of mass deaths. Discussing the impact of the war on bucha, and her decision to come back immediately after its liberation from the russian occupation, she starts crying. Translation all my life is here. Bucha is my hometown. I grew up here. I needed to come back. This doctor used to register ten newborns on average per month. Two years into the war, she gets one or two new patients. She sees that as a sign of hope. Translation parents feel the danger is still here. To give birth now in ukraine is an exploit in itself. All mothers are heroic to me. 0ne month old mia is the third child for 38 year old yulia. Mia is a quiet child, as if she feels how difficult the situation is for her mum. Translation you just get more hardened. You get used to attacks and constant air raids. You get stronger. When i found out that i was pregnant, my husband and i decided to give birth to our third daughter. Thejob natalya does in the Bucha Community is far beyond ordinary healthcare after the fear and despair of the occupation. Doctors and midwives came back to bucha immediately after the liberation, because they were needed by their patients. One of the first signs of the normalisation is the birth of children by mothers who had to spend nights in Bomb Shelters to save their lives and the lives of their newborns. Yulia says she knew that giving birth in wartime would come with many risks. Translation it is already a standard thing for me to get up at 2am to Breast Feed Mia and then silence her. It is so exhausting. Doctors are concerned that stress suffered by ukrainian mums might cause their babies delays in speech and emotional disorders. Translation the levels of risks and danger are too high. Ukrainian pregnant women experience dual stress. Pregnancy is in itself a stress. Moreover, they live under constant uncertainty and anxiety, and the need to run to Bomb Shelters. Parents in bucha, like anywhere else in ukraine, Hope The War Willjust be a story in a textbook for their babies. Officials in pakistan and afghanistan have held talks about reopening their main border crossing, which is remain shut for a fourth day. This followed clashes between security forces. It has led to a build up of trucks laden with goods and food items. A rally was held in pakistans khyber region calling for peace. Demonstrators said the closing of the crossing had deprived thousands of people from both sides who were struggling to earn a living. A Police Officer in the us City Of Philadelphia has been charged with murder over the Fatal Shooting of a motorist at a traffic stop. Mark dial shot Eddie Irizarry at close range as he sat in his car after being pulled over. New Body Camera Footage that has been released is providing important new evidence. John sudworth reports. And a warning this piece contains potentially disturbing images. Captured on surveillance cameras, Eddie Irizarry� s car going the wrong way down a one way street can be seen pulling over. The police, in pursuit, are there moments later. Now, the newly released Body Cam Footage provides a clearer view of what happens next. Just five seconds later, with a shout of, im going to shoot you. Six bullets have been fired into the car. Shots fired, shots fired mr irizarry is then pulled out and dragged like road kill, the familys lawyer says, to the police car and rushed to hospital. The initial police claim that hed got out of the car himself and lunged at the officers with a knife is now clearly disproven, and mark dial, the one who fired the shots, has been charged with murder. We will not cover up for power. We will not cover up for insiderism. And we will not cover up for politics, as was in fact the practice of previous chief prosecutors in the City Of Philadelphia for decades. But the new Police Footage also shows Something Else mr irizarry seemingly with a knife in his hand. This decision today puts Police Officers in peril, at a time when theyre dealing with perhaps the most violent time in our citys history. We intend to right this wrong and bring this young man home. While the Legal Process takes its course, thereve been protests in philadelphia, the questions over Police Transparency and the use of lethal force once again at the fore. One more life lost, added to the hundreds of others whove died in Police Traffic stops in recent years. John sudworth, bbc news, washington. A reminder of our top story. A number of people have died in morocco has now hit 1037. State tv are quoting the interior ministry. You canjoin us for more are quoting the interior ministry.

If, like me, youre finding it too hot and humid, relief is on the way, but not for most of us until after the weekend. So it stays very warm, very muggy, there will be Thundery Showers and there are warnings out from the met office. More details on our website. But again, well have another day with temperatures exceeding 30 degrees celsius. So again, the record is broken. Today looks like it might well be the hottest day of the year so far, just getting a little bit ahead of thursdays 32. 6 degrees celsius. Widely warm, very warm, infact, and humid. Temperatures not quite so high in the north and west, purely because we have this Weather Front approaching, so more cloud, bringing rain into the western and later northern isles, showers ahead of it. And this afternoon, because we have that mix of the heat as well, some home grown downpours, torrential downpours continuing well into the evening. But quite well scattered. They could just cause some Flash Flooding locally. And then, even though they will ease away for a time overnight, we have more moving in from the south, pushing into the south and west. And again, just increasing that humidity. So another really close night and uncomfortable for sleeping, i should imagine, for quite a few. Even further north, the Humidity Stays with us, that means for the great north run, not ideal conditions, with that high humidity. The increasing chance of a Thundery Shower as well for those running into the afternoon. So take on lots of water, if you can. So the shower risk tomorrow perhaps a bit further north than today. Some torrential downpours, lots of lightning with those showers. And we have our Weather Front in the north and west. But in between, lots of sunshine, still very warm and humid. So temperatures might not be quite widely as high as today, but its still humid and muggy. Perhaps still in east anglia and the south east, 31, 32 degrees celsius. Through the evening and overnight, Thundery Showers move northwards and eastwards. Our Weather Front is on the move as well, and its behind that Weather Front where it is a little bit less humid, a fresherfeel for the north and west of scotland. And that, as we move through the course of monday and tuesday, im hopeful about the end of tuesday, well start to feel that slightly fresher air reaching southern and eastern areas. Then were back to business as usual, really, a more unsettled looking picture. This is bbc news. The headlines. Rescue workers continue to dig for survivors after a powerful earthquake in morocco kills more than 1000 people, leaving hundreds more injured. The 6. 8 magnitude quake struck around 45 miles south of marrakesh. Hospitals in the region have seen an influx of patients and are appealing for blood donations.

The former british soldier suspected of Terror Offences was caught in chiswick, west london, after being seen in the area. World leaders met at the g20 summit in delhi, where the African Union was invited to join the group as a member.
