that minister modi wanted to achieve at the g20 summit in delhi?- the g20 summit in delhi? that is riuht. the the g20 summit in delhi? that is right. the inclusion _ the g20 summit in delhi? that is right. the inclusion of _ the g20 summit in delhi? that is right. the inclusion of the - the g20 summit in delhi? that isj right. the inclusion of the african union as a permanent member of the g20 are certainly going to be seen as a big win by india. by minister narendra modi had been personally advocating for it, he had written to the g20 before this saying they should be included, saying multilateral group groupings and institutions around the world need to become a more fair and more representative. that is actually happening today, that is a tangible outcome of the summit, and it is certainly something that india is projecting as a win, because with the summit, one big thing india was trying to do was to position itself as a voice for developing countries around the world. find as a voice for developing countries around the world.— as a voice for developing countries around the world. and also quite an interestin: around the world. and also quite an interesting reply — around the world. and also quite an interesting reply from _ around the world. and also quite an interesting reply from kyiv - around the world. and also quite an interesting reply from kyiv about. around the world. and also quite an interesting reply from kyiv about it | interesting reply from kyiv about it not being too much to be proud of, that statement on russian aggression, orthe that statement on russian aggression, or the lack of that term of russian aggression in that statement. that was to be expected. what is the mood around that, would you say?

one thing about that declaration, there were a - you say? one thing about that declaration, there were a lot l you say? one thing about that| declaration, there were a lot of questions whether there would even be concessions on a statement that could be released. —— consensus on a statement. india was extremely keen that the summit should not conclude without a statement. what has actually happened? we've had a declaration way before we expected. tomorrow is the second day of the summit, and we expected it, the end of that, but it came today, which means the work to get consensus on that was being done in the days ahead of the summit, ahead of the meetings actually beginning here in delhi. when you read that paragraph, what is extremely clear is that the language, especially around the ukraine war, has been significantly watered down, so it is expected that ukraine will be disappointed with what has been said there today. it does talk about states not using force against territorial integrity, political independence and sovereignty, but it doesn't use the word russia, russian federation or moscow, unlike the bally summit last year and the declaration from that, where there wasn't a consensus between member countries and what can be said, but it certainly didn't go as far as saying that most countries strongly think that it is russian aggression in ukraine, that phrase was used. even the word russia has not been used in this particular declaration. it is expected that ukraine will be disappointed with what has been said. , , , ., ., said. this is very important to narendra _ said. this is very important to narendra modi's _ said. this is very important to narendra modi's image - said. this is very important to - narendra modi's image domestically as well, tell us a bit about that. that is right. we are going to an election year here in india. if you look around delhi, pretty much on every street you will see posters with prime minister narendra modi's face on it, so while the national agenda was hardly positioned here, as a... domestically, what he and his party are saying to voters is, look at all these important leaders around the world, they are coming to india. india's prominence on the global stage is growing, and the people responsible for that is the current government. of course, there is criticism of a lot of things said in their current g20 summit, for instance, by mr modi repeatedly used the words mother of democracy, and there are plenty in india who question whether they can criticise the government freely. there are concerns over a rapid decline on press freedom in this country, and while millions of dollars were spent on sprucing up delhi, cleaning up daily, securing delhi as well, there are parts of it looked very different to how they looked before, it is a very spectacular venue, it is extremely grant and it is magnificent, but also what has been done is that the disparity which is visible in indian city, the impoverished area, those have either been demolished or hidden from view. thank you for the update, are south asian correspondent in delhi for us. earlier i spoke to philani mtemby, the executive director of a south african foreign policy thinktank about what he thought the african union's membership of the g20 would mean for the bloc. i think it is a welcome initiative. this is something that has been initiated from within the african continent, and i think certainly india supported that initiative, alongside other members of the g20. it will enhance the continent's voice, but it will also enhance the continent's ability to coordinate on its international partnerships, while also pointing development issues back on the centre of g20 deliberations. it is quite an important initiative for the continent.— important initiative for the continent. ~ , ., ., , continent. when you say development issues, continent. when you say development issues. what — continent. when you say development issues, what will _ continent. when you say development issues, what will they _ continent. when you say development issues, what will they be?

i think, whether you are speaking about _ rest of the g20? i think, whether you are speaking about climate i you are speaking about climate issues, so the uk are definitely talking about climate finance and sustainable finance to the continent, you are definitely talking about a changing international development finance landscape, where the continent has been consistently pushing other parts of the world to provide finance attic in central —— attic a concessional rate. you're also talking about enhancing the continent's ability to trade amongst itself. these are quite important issues that should be at the centre of the g20. in the last few years, to the agenda 2030, the un's agenda for sustainable development, the continent has to be at the centre of those initiatives. it will certainly enhance that voice. find those initiatives. it will certainly enhance that voice.— enhance that voice. and 'ust briefl , enhance that voice. and 'ust briefly, what i enhance that voice. and 'ust briefly, what do i enhance that voice. and 'ust briefly, what do you i enhance that voice. and just briefly, what do you think. enhance that voice. and just. briefly, what do you think will enhance that voice. and just - briefly, what do you think will come of this? it is clearly a very symbolic move. what do you think is going to come of this in terms of practical issues and practical changes in the way that africa deals with other countries at that top diplomacy table? i with other countries at that top diplomacy table?— with other countries at that top diplomacy table? i think what it does is enhance _ diplomacy table? i think what it does is enhance the _ diplomacy table? i think what it does is enhance the continent'sj does is enhance the continent's strategic autonomy. there is a lot of key stakeholders within the g20 that african countries deal with at a bilateral level, and so having them all they are, the g20, and having the eu consistently attending these meetings will certainly be important in that regard. south africa used to be obviously the only african country in the g20, and it generally consulted with the african union before the summits, but having the eu at the summits at a formal level certainly ensures that issues like agenda 2063, which is the continent's development blueprint will make it on the agenda of the 620. -- the au. here, police have arrested missing terror suspect daniel khalife in west london— following his escape daniel khalife in west london, following his escape from prison four days ago. he was detained in the chiswick area, after confirmed sightings there overnight, including calls from members of the public. the former soldier, who's 21, was in wandsworth prison awaiting trial, accused of trying to spy for an enemy state, understood to be iran. his family had urged him to give himself up. ellie price reports. members of the public had been in touch with police over night, having seen daniel khalife in the chiswick area. police conducted what they described as intensive searches here. they included officers stopping and searching vehicles, inspecting car boots, and asking local residents for identification. in a short statement the force thanked the public for their support throughout the investigation. from the g20 meeting in india, the prime minister echoed that sentiment. it's good news that we have recaptured the person concerned. as peopl
