largest economies, plus the european union. among the issues for discussion is russia's invasion of ukraine. two of the most powerful men in the world were on the guest list for the summit, but aren't there — russia's president vladimir putin and president xi of china. samira hussain sent this report. prime minister rishi sunak landed in india, he was greeted by indian dignitary, and dancers. but the colourful arrival won't mask the thorny issues at play. mr sunakry rated his commitment to supporting the most vulnerable but made it clear the uk will support ukraine. one of the priorities i have being here, is to highlight the impact of russia's war on millions of vulnerable people round the world, and that is the impact of food price, recently russia has pulled out of something called the black sea grain initiative which allowed wheat and other food to leave ukraine, ukraine produces an enormous amount of the world's food. it goes to dozens of the most vulnerable countries.-

support for ukraine and put forward a supplementalfunding request. there supplemental funding request. there has supplementalfunding request. there has been bipartisan support for this funding to date and it is critical we continue to provide timely economic assistance. the west is pushing ukraine as an issue, putting this year's host of the global summit in a challenging position. india buys weapons and oil from rush but is becoming more aligned with the us. —— russia. issues of conflict and war have an impact on growth and development, so food, fuel and fertiliser get impacted. that

that is . afternoon to you jane, that is right. the symbolism weighs strikingly here, from that moment that you saw there of the prime minister and his wife getting off the plane, a few hours ago, and then they went to the british council, they went to the british council, the international cultural and educational organisation, to meet some school—children, and then to play football, play football in the muqqy play football, play football in the muggy and humid heat of delhi here, it is striking when you see them interacting with folk here, of that connection, the connection the prime minister has given his indian heritage and crucially the connection for his wife who grew up here and is very well—known here, because her parents are well—known, her dad co—founded the it company and is a self made billionaire, but beyond that symbolism comes the politic, the diplomacy in the coming days world leaders arriving here, but the politics of an indian trade deal, between the uk and india seems a real prize, the prime minister saying in the last hour, he won't rush in signing that deal. they have to iron out all sorts of trixie element, not least how they handle the question of visa, india wanting a more flexible visa regime, the government in london committing to not changing immigration position psi. india hopes that a deal might be signed before christmas, publicly at least, the uk government much more reticent. chris, thank you. chris mason police in pakistan have told the bbc they hope to soon find the family of a 10—year—old girl, who was found dead in surrey last month. the chief ofjelum police says they've encircled an area where they believe the three people they're looking for currently are. officers in the uk want to question sara sharif�*s father, step mother and uncle, who flew to pakistan the day before her body was discovered in the family home in woking. the health security agency says a new variant of coronavirus detected recently is likely to be spreading within the community in the uk, and that is was behind an outbreak in a norfolk care home. our health editor hugh pym is with me — and some new figures were released today? licy. india yes, jane, that is right, from the uk health security agency, and this is to do with the variant known as ba.2.86, a sub variant of omicron, last week, it was reported in the uk there were three cases, now, the uk hsaa saying it is 3a case of this variant of which 28 were at a care home, six of those were staff, the rest were resident, officials are saying that in each case there has been a full recovery, of those who got covid, with this variant, but they are saying it is just a reminder that when people are at close quarters and are vulnerable like in a care home, then, it is more likely there will be a spread of a virus like covid, but they are making clear they don't know if it is more trans mis than previous variants or it causes more serious illness so they are monitoring it closely. that is one reason they brought forward the vaccine programme for covid boosters which will start in england, and wales next week, northern ireland the week after, it has already started in scotland because of the possibility that this variant might cause more problems out there. it has to be said, the variant has been seen in other countries like france and the us and israel, and there being watched closely by all the health systems in those country, but at the moment they are saying there is no cause for concern, it is not a variant of concern that would designate are worried about it but they are watching it closely and urging everyone eligible come forward for those jabs.- urging everyone eligible come forward for those jabs. thank you for now. on the first anniversary of the death of queen elizabeth ii, king charles has paid tribute to his mother's "devoted service" in a specially recorded message. the king and queen have marked the anniversary at crathie kirk near balmoral. gun salutes to mark the first year of the king's reign have been taking place across the country, including at the tower of london and edinburgh castle. our royal correspondent nicholas witchell reports. for the king, a day of conflicting emotions. one year to the day since his mother died, he went with his wife to say prayers at crathie kirk. the sense of loss rekindled, but with it a sense of satisfaction that the transition to his reign has gone smoothly. the long reign of elizabeth ii had ended amid the tranquillity of balmoral exactly as she had wanted, and from balmoral, on this, the first anniversary of his mother's death, the king paid tribute to her. we recall with great affection her long life, devoted service, and all she meant to so many of us. i'm deeply grateful too for the love and support that has been shown to my wife and myself during this year, as we do our utmost to be of service to you all. cheering. in the year since his accession to the throne, charles has confounded those who thought the change of reign would destabilise the monarchy. there's been a change in some aspects of style. he speaks german. but not in the central functioning of the institution, to the relief of many. he's approaching 75. he's at that stage in life when he is perhaps a little more reflective. patrickjephson is a former senior member of the royal household. he was private secretary to the king's first wife, the late diana, princess of wales. hopefully he's taking this first year to take stock. central to that is not rushing things. he has all the time that god gives him and i have the impression that he is actually not in a tearing rush to do anything very much and that's a good thing. but the man whose loyalty is to charles' first wife questions the decision to elevate his second wife and to crown her as queen. i have read in the newspapers that a very large majority of those who answered polls are not happy for her to be given the title the queen. they remember that the late queen said that she wanted camilla to be the queen consort. the first anniversary of charles' accession was marked with a gun salute. the british monarchy has moved on. the life of a revered queen is remembered, but it's now for charles to navigate the family issues and to ensure the monarchy engages effectively with all the parts and the people of his kingdom. nicholas witchell, bbc news. the time is 1.18. our top story this afternoon. the head of the metropolitan police say they are exploring whether staff at wandsworth prison helped daniel khalife escape. still to come, the 5 million disposable vapes that are thrown away now every week in the uk. coming up on bbc news, lewis hamilton goes back to school. the seven—time formula one world champion is

rescue hundreds of people trapped by floods brought by storm daniel — at least four people are known to have died. some areas of the country have had a year's worth of rain in the last three days. and in hong kong, torrential rain has triggered flash flooding. there's been major damage to homes and infrastructure, and officials say it's the most rain since records began 140 years ago. roads in hong kong have been turned into rivers. car parks and shopping malls are flooded and subway stations are deep with water. on thursday night six inches of rain fell in an hour, the highest figure since records began in1881i. it's forced schools and workplaces to shut and millions of people are sheltering at home. some had to be rescued from the flood waters and more than 100 people were taken to hospital. and the city's cross harbour tunnel, a key transport route, was inundated. the rain also triggered landslides in mountainous areas, blocking some roads. the downpours have now eased but rain

in wales and northern ireland, local authorities are carrying out the checks for raac rather than schools. no new offshore wind projects have been bought by developers at a key government auction, in a blow to efforts to increase the use of renewable energy. companies said soaring costs mean the offshore projects aren't worth their while — though there were deals for solar, tidal and onshore wind projects. our business editor simonjack is with me. they say it's not worth their while. what does this mean? tell us more. these are auctions that work in reverse, ratherthan these are auctions that work in reverse, rather than bidding higher you have to get below a certain price and the government
