G20 Summit in Rome Focuses on Climate Change, Coronavirus | DW News

Oct 30, 2021 • The G20 summit is underway in Rome as leaders from the world's major industrialized nations meet.

Outgoing German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, is among the dignitaries who are in the Italian capital for the two-day gathering. Among the topics being discussed is the coronavirus pandemic - with emergency workers invited to join the leaders for a photo. Tackling global warming is also top of the agenda, ahead of the COP26 climate conference which begins on Sunday. Most of those attending the G20 in Rome will travel onward to Glasgow for that key UN climate summit.

It is Biden's first major European trip to meet world leaders as president. The devout Catholic keeps a photograph of Pope Francis on his desk at the White House. He met with his hero face-to-face at the Vatican.

For more than an hour, the two leaders spoke privately about climate change, the pandemic and poverty. The visit is the prequel of two major summits happening this weekend. In Rome, the G20 and in Glasgow the COP26 climate summit. Back home, Biden suffered a setback for his pricy infrastructure plan, which focuses in part on the environment.

But ahead of the G20, young people are pushing for action on the climate.

Getting more jabs in people's arms in rich and poor countries is also a priority at the first face-to-face summit since the pandemic hit. But before Biden joins in on the global cooperation to tackle monumental problems, he first had a very public Mea Culpa with French President Emmanuel Macron.

Biden apologized for the US's botched handling of a submarine deal with Australia, which cut out France. For his part Macron is ready to move forward. Both sides hope the rebuilding of trust will help bring about the change young people are marching for.

Trump Tells G20 Leaders He Wants to Work with Them ‘for a Long Time’

THE OBSERVER: US president delivers boasts and falsehoods while other members focus on dealing with the pandemic

Donald Trump has taken his campaign to deny the results of the US presidential election global, telling leaders at the G20 summit he’s looking forward to going on working with them.

The gathering of leaders of major world economies is being held online this year, but could have been an occasion for Trump to bid his peers goodbye and pledge American support in the battle against Covid-19. Instead, according to audio of his comments obtained by the Observer, he said: “It’s been a great honour to work with you, and I look forward to working with you again for a long time.” » | Emma Graham-Harrison and Julian Borger | Saturday, November 21, 2020

Does Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) Care about New Khashoggi Revelations? l Inside Story

’The Wall Street Journal’ says the Saudi Crown Prince was in contact with the team that killed Jamal Khashoggi.

The CIA has reportedly concluded the order to kill Jamal Khashoggi was given by Crown prince Mohammed Bin Salman.

‘The Wall Street Journal’ says its obtained details of the highly classified CIA document. The newspaper says bin Salman sent at least 11 messages to his closest adviser, Saud al-Qahtani.

He reportedly supervised the so-called 'hit' team.

The CIA says al-Qahtani was in direct communication with the team’s leader in Istanbul - in the hours before and after the journalist was murdered.

The Saudi team was reportedly assembled from the Crown Prince's top security men in the Royal Guard.

The judgment on Bin Salman's likely culpability is based on the prince’s personal focus on Khashoggi who had criticised him - as well as the Prince authorising the same team to target other opponents.

The Saudi leader is reported to have told associates in August last year that if efforts failed to persuade Khashoggi to return to Saudi Arabia, he would be lured somewhere else.

Do the latest revelations make any difference because bin Salman continues to enjoy Donald Trump's support?

Should Saudi Crown Prince Be Charged with War Crimes? G20 Host, Argentina, Considers Probe

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman could face prosecution in Argentina for alleged complicity in the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi and the Saudi-led humanitarian crisis in Yemen. On Wednesday, an Argentine prosecutor reportedly accepted a request by Human Rights Watch to prosecute the crown prince, just hours after he landed in Argentina ahead of the G20 summit. Argentina recognizes universal jurisdiction for war crimes and torture, which means it is able to press charges against the crown prince while he is in the country. We speak with Reed Brody, counsel and spokesperson for Human Rights Watch, and Shireen Al-Adeimi, Yemeni scholar, activist, and an Assistant Professor at Michigan State University.

Immer wieder brennen Barrikaden, Autonome zerschlagen Fensterscheiben mit schweren Pflastersteinen, brechen in einen Drogeriemarkt und eine Filiale eines Supermarkts ein. Sie plündern den Laden, tragen alles raus, zerfetzen das Mobiliar, um es unter dem Jubel Schaulustiger auf der Straße ins Feuer zu werfen.

G20-Gipfel: Merkel spricht mit Putin lange unter vier Augen

SPIEGEL ONLINE: Das Treffen dauerte deutlich länger als erwartet: Fast vier Stunden sprach Kanzlerin Merkel im Hotel mit Wladimir Putin. Es ging um die Ukraine-Krise.

Das Hilton in der Elisabeth Street im Stadtzentrum von Brisbane ist ein hoher Hotelturm inklusive Parkhaus und Shoppingmall. Am Samstagabend gleicht der Komplex einer Festung. Ein Schutzwall aus Plexiglas umgibt die Einfahrt, daneben mehrere Metalltore, davor zwei Dutzend Polizisten. Die Straße ist zeitweise komplett gesperrt.

Um 21.40 Uhr fährt die Limousine von Russlands Präsident Wladimir Putin ins Hotel, vier Minuten später der weiße BMW der deutschen Kanzlerin, auch mit Polizei-Eskorte. Auf dem Rücksitz neben der Kanzlerin sitzt Christoph Heusgen, Merkels Außenpolitikberater. Die beiden besprechen die letzten Details für das Treffen mit dem Kreml-Herrscher.

Critiqué par les occidentaux, Poutine écourte sa présence au G20

LE POINT: Accablé par les pays anglo-saxons, qui fustigent l'action de la Russie dans la crise ukrainienne, il quitte prématurément le sommet.

Sous le feu nourri de très vives critiques des pays anglo-saxons critiquant l'action de la Russie dans la crise ukrainienne, Vladimir Poutine a décidé d'écourter sa présence au sommet du G20 de Brisbane, plombé par une ambiance de guerre froide. "Le programme pour la deuxième journée a changé. Il a été raccourci", a déclaré une source au sein de la délégation russe sous couvert d'anonymat, à propos de dimanche.

Le président russe participera aux réunions du sommet, mais ne sera pas présent lors d'un déjeuner officiel prévu à 12 h 30 et parlera devant la presse plus tôt que prévu. "Ce déjeuner est plus une sorte de divertissement", a justifié la source. Depuis vendredi, veille de l'ouverture du sommet dans cette ville de l'est de l'Australie, les pays anglo-saxons ont multiplié les charges en règle contre la Russie et son rôle dans la crise ukrainienne.
