I think whatever decisions they make, they would know best. But if you talk to people in private, ive spoken to an observer recently, hes close to the government policy here at this pass and said that he didnt pay to be calculated efforts to embarrass india about i, i would not that all seem to be that he will also coming up in Queen Elizabeth, died on this day one year ago. Tonight we ask, how is brittany remembering the worlds favorite monarch. Its kind of special to me because she was coordinated about when i was born and i turned 70 this year. So she had a really long rain and i felt she really did a whole lot for the British Empire as it was kind of shrinking in those years. And she handled it with incredible grace. For 2 hours he was watching on cbs in the United States and to all of you around the world. Welcome. We begins the day on the eve of one of the most important meetings this year. The g 20 Leaders Summit leaders of the worlds most powerful nations are convening this weekend in new delhi, on the agenda. How the solve the biggest problems such as climate change, fear, and security, and what to do about rushes more and you create a, there are no big hopes ahead of this. Im it especially over ukraine. In fact, in the run up to this summit, india has made it clear that it plans to put the focus of talks on the global south. That includes the economies in asia, africa, and south america. India. They are trying to manage expectations ahead of this summit and acknowledgement of just how entrenched divisions over rushes war in ukraine have become. I want you to take a listen to the message thats coming from the European Union about this. I dont seem to to this g printed read results in 2 days, older problems. How do i know what to say . But i think it can be a bold step in the right direction in which, which works for me to typing into support in gen presidency. Sometimes its better to me to, to minute or tough statements, but to do some space to the engine presidency to Work Activity may be sometimes discreetly to maximize the change for community. We hope that the bus you go to the terminal to and there is no secret to both the position that you is the defendant or the table. Or are we going to do all those by restrictions to create clear where its coming there from the European Union for more now im joined by l. E. Y. Natalie is a Senior Analyst with the razor groups and focuses on global geo politics. The big picture, if you will, he joys me tonight from washington dc. How its good to have you with this. You are, you are also an author. We have to tell people you publish the book last year with the title, americas great power opportunity. Is this g 20 summit, one of those great Power Opportunities for the us as well. Thank you very much for, for the kind mention in my book. And i would argue that it is presence matters, presence, the very important part of seizing opportunity to have to, to show up the compete. And the United States is certainly going to play us is presence. Now china and russia have delegations that are attending the g 20 baton his president is not there in north rushes present in the us. President joe biden is there. And so the president and his team will argue that the United States is showing up in its fullest capacity. And that its gonna try to present itself is a credible alternative to china, russia in managing well as most pressing challenges. What does the absence of the chinese and russian president s at the summit with me . What, what does, what does their absence really mean . If anything, a lot of make a couple of points. The 1st is, underscore, is the extent which do political frictions do. Political tensions are normally overshadowing the ability of the host country to focus on other priorities, but really impeding of the function and go to a body such as a d 20 more. More broadly, if you, if you rewind the clock maybe 10 years ago or 15 years ago of the g. 20, played an instrumental role in managing global Macro Economic crises in advancing progress on climate change. Its now substantially has hindered its ability to do so because of these do a political friction. So that would be the 1st one. The 2nd point is my, you know, my thinking is a, china and russia probably have Different Reasons for not sending their, their highest level leaders. I think that in the case of russia, i imagine that india is probably somewhat relieved that writes, including, isnt it, is it saves it. I think it prevents a little bit of a headache. China, on the other hand, seems to want to downgrade the importance of the, the g 20 and instead elevate the importance of the brakes, which of course, recently expanded. So the challenge for india is in the absence of the chinese product in the restroom. President one, how does that, how does the salvage the deliberations into how does it also present itself the United States and other life Money Partners in a better life . And since were talking about some great Power Opportunities, what about the host country india . Prime minister, the major moody knows india star is rising right now. What would be the best possible outcome of this summit for him if we could be inside his mind as we couldnt ask for Better Outcomes just in terms of being the host nation. So already indian whos talking to victory, a significant diplomatic victory. I think that if, if youre in 5 minutes from loading, you want to come out of the summit of being seen as a more potent competing power. A more capable country, more capable of regional leader in the pacific, but also more capable Global Leader that can bridge and tractable divides between advanced industrial democracies. On the one hand between developing countries and nobody wants to do it wants to trade self. And if you will, like, it was appropriate, so as a champion of developing countries, hence the discussion of given the African Union membership and the g 20. But it also wants to be taken more seriously as a major power and its own right. Very often when we talk about great power consultation, or strategic competition, we talked about the United States, china and russia. But we dont talk about india even though by many metrics. If you look at in these populations, india has overtaken china to be the worlds most populous nation. India is projected to grow more rapidly than trying to this year next year. And there are many other metrics that we could site. But india wants to say, look, were a champion of developing countries, but look at our present metrics, not trajectory. We should be taken more seriously on the global stage where the load is india almost feels like its, its trying to be everything to everyone earlier this year. But most of it was the guest of honor, the white house. As you said, hes championed the global south at this summit and he is a member of the brakes group. Is moody. Is he running the risk of trying to have it all trying to have his junior political cake and eat it to so i can understand why you know, why that risk might be perceived. But i think that the, the Prime Minister in this top advisors are exemplifying as well diplomacy. And i, my sense is in indias position is we meeting india, we should be as well, we should be pragmatic and we should be ami directional. And what i mean is that there will be instances in which india aligns itself more with, say, United States with other advanced industrial democracies. But india is not going to jettison entirely. Its relationship to say russia with their on without the ravia. I think what india is doing is on an issue specific basis according different coalitions and maximizing its freedom of Foreign Policy maneuver. And i think that that really is going to be the way of the future. As you politics becomes more fractious. I know the country that really will rise to the top and succeed, and these new do political sweepstakes will be the ones that are more pragmatic, more flexible, more creative in their diplomacy. And i think that in the, as an example are in that regard and only, and also before we run out of time, i just want to ask you what your thoughts will there be a final joint communicate at the end of this g 20 summit . Im not optimistic and for reasons that you i think you referenced in your opening remarks on the issue of rushes and ukraine. It overshadowed a last through some of it last week. The 20, some of which was not able to produce a joint statement. And i would imagine that this year as well, if there were to be any Strong Language condemning russian regress in china and russia would of course strenuously object. So i would imagine that india will issue a chair summary. I dont think that there will be a joint statement, but i think that in the chair summaries, the india will try to spotlight issues that affect the global south and not allowed view of political frictions to overshadow. A very, very consequential gather in the world leaders, the regional groups, alley wind, joining us tonight from washington, eli, appreciate your time and your analysis. Thank you. Thank you very much for having me. It was a pleasure, as it is often described as natives, achilles heel, a strip of sparsely populated land stretching some 65 kilometers on the border between the native states, poland, and lithuania. The so walking gas is a challenge for nato to defend the strip connects, the russian exclaimed, clinic rod with bella roofs. If russia and bell ruse were ever to invade and close that gap, nato members, lithuania, lafayette, and estonia, they would be cut off from allies to the south. Would end attempt to rebuild the russians, be a mission impossible. The w terry shoulds travelled through this a walking gap with british nato troops or training for anything bought. These nato troops based in poland are moving through what the alliance considers, perhaps, is most vulnerable area, a land core ed or nick named this lucky gap. Its located between 2 nato allies, poland and lithuania, but also between russia and feller is. This is cause for concern because its the only way for nato to reach its baltic state allies by land. There is any way, one way to get to latvia, and that is out through lithuania, milwaukee. That means if moscow were to seize this a walkie cord or lab b and the other Baltic States would be cut off and could only be reached by sea. The Commanding Officer of this british squadron on his way to an exercise in latvia, says training in the region is vital for us going up to lot via provides a new real estate, new training opportunity. Uh, the opportunity to go up against a live simulated enemy, which, which puts mike soldiers to the test. Some of those tests are just about getting troops to where they need to be. This convoy head 3 vehicles breakdown causing many hours of delay. But parker says, figuring out how to get them back on the road was part of the training. He wanted his troops to get an overnight at the nato bass. In lithuania, gave the british troops a chance to arrest and refilled their tags, hosted by german army. Lieutenant colonel andre is kiersten or who commands the Multi National battle group keeping watch from the other end of this walking cord or we conduct the trainings in order to be prepared for us and noble Russian Forces crossing the border to the plane. Yeah, yeah, mobility is always very crucial for minutes of your positions. And of course its a strong sign to show that we are not sitting in a low battery, but we are able to move between the Baltic States. Theyre able to move, they move faster than Russian Forces. Thats an open question. Nato may not be doing enough to answer this. Motorcade had a Police Escort to guarantee access to the highway and quick processing at the border crossings. But in case of a real prices, fewer things would be under natos control. And thats why some experts are saying the alliance and stage more snap exercises to practice what might happen if pressure were to attack with no warning to experience that natos former top military commander general Phillip Breedlove strongly advocates more no noticed exercises in so walk and beyond. Which would push troops in his words, to failure, to come back stronger. We need to give our forces hard problems to solve and force them to think outside the box. Its more than getting to an exercise area and setting up camp, we need to be tested in the quiet city of so walky residents are a custom to hearing such talk, especially after russia launched warren ukraine. Some are dismissive, others thankful the worst Case Scenarios so far remain just hypotheses of war, gaming and planning. I think there is nothing to worry about. If you either say, i was a little bit terrified that it can like us, will happen to us. Ok if you went in and they talk at that situation, that would be completely different. Probably we, we would be attacked. Nato military officials acknowledge a more aggressive russia means they need to increase their readiness for any potential crisis, which includes making sure so lucky remains in open core door and is less of a gap in the series filter point there to results the joints we now from brussels, good evening to you, terry, you laid out the challenges in defending the so walking core door. But does anyone really think that russia plans to try to ever seize a brand who knows anymore, people didnt think russia plan to try to seize ukraine, and thats the circumstances everyone brings up. Nato simply has to presume that russia may try to do that. Now, there were a lot more worries in recent months when the late t a you have gaming for goes and was sent to bell or roots. And there were even rumors circulating publicly that his wagner group was actually planning to seize us to walk. You get that may have just been to make nato nervous, but nonetheless, it certainly reminded everyone of the precariousness of this situation of this geography. And thats why general breedlove, the former supreme allied commander of europe, is saying, nato needs to up its game in training for any event you ality. Id like to play more of, of my interview with him, where he explains more about how important it is to train as he says, to failure. So if we really look back, say, 20 months ago, towards the, just before the beginning of this war, those 4 nations were vocal and completely right about russia long before the rest of the west was right about russia. And so we have nations that are talking to. Busy about how important this land is, these same nations have gotten it right with russia faster and more often than we have. I believe we need to pay attention. But are they saying that we need more exercises . We have gradually increased the size of the force that is on high ready. But the fact of the matter is the main response to russian aggression is to put more forces on high ready. Now may i just share with you how much . Uh i how much i love respect and want to lift up my made o partners. I think, you know, i served 8 times in europe culminating in this accurate tour. And so its pretty fair that to say that im a native support. But may i just offer a bit of a difference among nato forces and that is, there are a few a few to actually test themselves significantly on their readiness. And there are few or are of that few that actually exercise then to failure a lot of exercises are more ceremonial and about the logistics and pulling them off. Then they are actually testing a force to fail. Things are going to go wrong and you shouldnt want them to go wrong on these exercises rice as well. Yes, we learn vice being exposed to our problems and our field and, and a responsiveness again, is what we have included in our answer to russias attack. We are telling our forces they have to be ready in certain amounts of time. If russia decides to invade a nato, an area, hopefully we will have good intelligence that tells us to be ready. But we cant, we cant rely on. And also note that if russia decides to invade, and we start to respond, what russia knows is that if we get our kids to the 5, they lose. So were not going to get an on obstructed path. Were going to be moving under attack. Moving under that attack, theres just some incredibly candid words they are coming from general breedlove, i should say, retired general brit breedlove. I wonder if he would have said those things when he was still serving, but hes definitely now urging nato to push itself harder in training. So let me ask you a terry. The exercise that you were just on. How does that compare to watch . Read. Busy is recommend so as general breedlove says these, this motor k, but i joined to this convoy, if russia were to presume that nato is moving to defend the Baltic States for the north, it would attack this convoy. So thats something that, of course, if this were an exercise, im military mobility, they would have to keep in mind. Now i shouldnt be clear the exercise that i joined to the royal lancers who were moving from their base in poland to let the were not exercising military mobility. They were moving to go up and play the enemy against canadian forces, which they were looking forward to cuz thats, thats pretty fun. But nonetheless, of part of the, the exercise that i joined was looking at how you get there through this a walk you get. Now major guy parker, who you saw there in my piece, said that he predicted 2 of his vehicles would break down on this 2 days of travel. Thats simply something they know statistically. So 3 vehicles broke down, but he also made sure that his mechanics could fix them and this is something he very much wanted to test his people on shore. And in a war time scenario, you could have banned in those vehicles and move on. So you can move more quickly, but he accepted the delays that it would cause in order to make sure that they knew how to fix the vehicles on the move. So in fact, major parker was trying to do some of what general breedlove was saying, and he said that he would like to do more of these exercises. So yeah, there are people inside the military that very much want to test themselves to their limits. Yeah. Which, which i think people think that thats exactly what theyre doing as you are reporting that may not necessarily be the case. Excellent. Reporting. Terry shields in brookings tonight. Terry, thank you. In marketing, thats as tentative as to appellate mattresses test and mike session. We were cold with grades of fiction, a long life devoted surveys, and all she meant to so many of those that was britains king and charles, paying tribute to his late mother, Queen Elizabeth, who died one year ago today. The queen was the worlds longest reigning monarch, she spent 70 years and 214. 00 days on the throne of the royals. And now remembering king charles and Queen Camilla attended the private for your service and think 12 wishes in scotland. Scotland, where Queen Elizabeth spent her final days and across the u. K. Guns salutes, and tolling bills marked the anniversary of the queens death and the kings a session to the throne. I do want to go down to my british colleague charlotte just until shes in london. Charlie is good to see you. The royal family is known and loved before as pomp and circumstance. And also perhaps for being modest toby, seeing that modesty one year on, i mean, he didnt feel like this was a grand affair in terms of how the country remembered the late queen. Or of course, we will remember the ground events that you were firing to the jubilee 70 years of a queen on the throne being one, the funeral of the coordination of king charles, all of which we reported on a dw shoot shoot event. Nothing like that. Today though, i think the world family would describe this as a more respectful, private occasion. Not suddenly how it was built to all of the full today that members at the family would take time to reflect privately. They did not gather together that would know big events. And as you mentioned that king tall he was in scotland, its not the way hes been spending the summer. He mocked it with the press service. He will say when townsend spoke to a number of well wishes fixing, i think a lot of people would say because that indeed as you mentioned was what the queen spends his final days. Uh that was also advocate the quote that is it is a few moments really you called the one Year Anniversary between that he was like a one year since his expression to the swearing. So that has to be marked as well. And with that you so gun salutes of various places around london not with month lot. Why today perhaps and some might have expected. And im going to ask you about the key and get me to how is he being received now, a year after his mothers death to that was a huge amount of concern. I think trepidation about how the transition from the queen to king charles would go. The queen being such a no, mostly populous bigger here, whether you are in favors and want a key, or whether you more of the republican, she was still a respected figure. She had indeed been a constance for generations of people. Hey there most people that you speak to. Why dont remember its, i didnt remember a time before the queen, so it was assigned to me because then when she died, king charles took a but i also thought steve twice different because one of the reasons the queen was so well regarded was she really catch her opinions to herself, she doesnt seem to be interfering in any way. King charles the full but coming king was a little bit more out states and some concerned about whether he continued thats through as software. And he hasnt in actual facts in the policy just that he had a very smooth transition. Its been no major controlled with these on his part. Indeed, the pole show that popularity of the monarchy hasnt dropped a since he became king. Whats interesting though, is the huge generational divide. If you are old people, people over 6580 percent would say that their favorite, the amount of the, if you look younger people, just 37 percent 18 to 24 year olds are in favor. So a lot of questions theyre about to the role or the want to get to the place of the want to keep going. Yeah. Would. Yeah, exactly. And of course, we know of people of all age groups, watch the netflix series, the crown, and that that has been a boost for the royal family, at least thats how it was reported. Ive got about 30 seconds. May i ask you, are the tories, are they still flocking to london . Now that charles is key . Absolutely, i mean the ways of popular cities towards the various reasons. Its all just about them wanting to basically say the crown played a big role. Theyve been in the headlines a lot. Theres been a lot of international interest. I think you have to mention prince, how are you here in the yeah. What was the there about the risk with his family . So yeah, he was still getting a lot of interest in the monica here from visiting that is for sure. Dw charlotte chosen hill show is always good seeing you have a good weekend to but the day is almost done. The conversation continues online and remember whatever happens between now and then. Tomorrow is another day. Hope you have a good weekend as well. See you against the day i extend the rain at the International Motor show 2023. What kind of the Technology Already do today .
