G20 meeting, Russia and the US 'clash' in Delhi

Tensions over Russia's war in Ukraine have dominated G20 talks in Delhi, even as India's prime minister urged foreign ministers to put aside their differences.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the meeting was marred by Russia's "unprovoked and unjustified war". Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov accused the West of "burying" a deal to allow some Ukrainian wheat exports.

Foreign Ministers, including Mr. Lavrov, Mr. Blinken and China's Qin Gang are in Delhi for the summit. A former Indian diplomat told the BBC that India would have to "do something special" to get them to put aside their differences over the war.

India's slogan for the G20 is "One Land, One Family, One Future". Modi urged the delegates to take it to heart and focus on the issues that unite them.

India will hope to broker what is likely to be a fractious meeting and make some progress towards a consensus on less politically contentious issues. But with Russia and the US expected to hold press conferences after the meeting, the divisions over Ukraine are likely to leave a lasting impression.
