| 0:00.0 | In the coming week, India hosts the G20 summit. |
| 0:05.0 | Chile and the United States mark very different 9-11 anniversaries, |
| 0:09.0 | and a possible Putin-Kim Jong-un meeting sparks international concern. |
| 0:13.0 | It's September 7, 2023 in time for the world next week. I'm Bob McMahon. |
| 0:26.6 | And I'm Carly Ann Robbins. |
| 0:28.1 | Carla, let's kick things off in India. |
| 0:30.7 | This Saturday, global leaders will be meeting in New Delhi for the G20 summit. |
| 0:34.9 | Now, they represent at least 80% of the world's economic output, although |

| 1:17.6 | early next year. And so he's going to put, I'm sure, a spectacular show for his guest. And he's |

| 1:32.5 | so you basically get it, if you're a member at some point. But he's been playing up India's presidency and his leadership throughout the country over the last year. There's been light shows and |
| 1:37.5 | billboards and educational campaigns. They even have a certification program in G20 literacy, |
| 1:42.6 | which perhaps we should all take. And he's been using it as |
