:01:06. > :01:08.China has certainly put on an impressive show
:01:09. > :01:13.These were the impressive scenes at the opening night gala
:01:14. > :01:18.But while the entertainment was spectacular - the predictions
:01:19. > :01:21.for the global economy have been fairly gloomy.
:01:22. > :01:24.From the summit here's our Diplomatic Correspondent -
:01:25. > :01:47.In part the summit has been about ceremony and protocol. It wants to
:01:48. > :01:52.show to the world what it sees about its status as a world player and
:01:53. > :02:01.protocol about the fact President Obama did not get a red carpet. Who
:02:02. > :02:05.was to blame? They have discussed the world economy and how to
:02:06. > :02:10.kick-start growth. Truth be told they have not agreed very much on
:02:11. > :02:15.that. In truth the focus of the day has been about the meetings on the
:02:16. > :02:20.margins of the summit. The Germans talking to the top about EU
:02:21. > :02:24.migration. The Americans talking to the Russians about the possible
:02:25. > :02:33.cessation of hostilities in Syria. Lots of interest, two in Theresa
:02:34. > :02:38.May. She has been meeting people. They have becoming up to her, some
:02:39. > :02:43.formerly, some informally, wanting to get to know her. Her message was
:02:44. > :02:48.one of you shouldn't. Despite the vote for Brexit Britain is open for
:02:49. > :02:54.business but she has had a harder time getting that message across and
:02:55. > :02:58.some might have imagined. Resident Obama made it very clear that when
:02:59. > :03:04.it came to treat deals the US still wanted to do business with the EU
:03:05. > :03:08.and Pacific countries ahead of the United Kingdom. At the same time it
:03:09. > :03:13.emerged the Japanese government had published a 15 page document on what
:03:14. > :03:20.it sees as the central costs of exit to its firms in the UK. Things like
:03:21. > :03:24.the lack of Paris. That was an unexpected shock for Downing Street
:03:25. > :03:29.today. I think the Prime Minister has had a harder date than today.
:03:30. > :03:34.Tomorrow it will not get any easier when she has to meet the Chinese
:03:35. > :03:40.president and discuss her crucial decision to delay the big object of
:03:41. > :03:45.a nuclear power plant in Somerset that the Chinese want to invest in.
:03:46. > :03:48.Well as you were hearing - Japan has been warning the UK
:03:49. > :03:50.about the potential costs of the country's decision
:03:51. > :04:02.With more - here's our Business correspondent Joe Lynam.
:04:03. > :04:07.It is very interesting normally when a country has a problem with that
:04:08. > :04:10.country they mention it in a bilateral meeting and it does not
:04:11. > :04:16.get published. This was one published Ridley said the careful
:04:17. > :04:19.with the Brexit negotiations. Our Japanese companies are very worried
:04:20. > :04:23.they will lose out in this whole process. The arch Britain to
:04:24. > :04:28.continue free movement of people and stay within the single market and
:04:29. > :04:32.maintain our sporting rights for the banks and financial services
:04:33. > :04:38.companies. This is very unusual to see the least and ought to put
:04:39. > :04:43.Theresa May in a bind simply because the vote to leave the European Union
:04:44. > :04:47.had a huge element of restricting immigration from the EU. It will be
:04:48. > :04:52.difficult to restrict EU freedom of movement and at the same time keep
:04:53. > :04:58.all be good bet you want from the single market. Japan is voicing its
:04:59. > :05:03.concerns. Britain has an issue. How much is Japan worth to the British
:05:04. > :05:07.economy? It is the third-largest investor in Britain. It is not
:05:08. > :05:14.inconsequential what they do. A huge banking presence. Mitsubishi.

:05:20. > :05:26.carmaking, Toyota and Honda and Nissan have huge plants in Britain
:05:27. > :05:30.and have been here for two or three decades. The worry is that if
:05:31. > :05:36.written leaves the EU without a fresh trade deal with the EU that
:05:37. > :05:39.could leave them relying on World Trade Organisation rules. There is
:05:40. > :05:42.an automatic tariff of 10% then applying to all cars made in Britain
:05:43. > :05:48.and then X ordered and will leave you need that 10% means they will
:05:49. > :05:55.make no money exporting cars from Britain. The Japanese government
:05:56. > :05:59.want an answer from the new British Prime Minister, when will they get
:06:00. > :06:02.that? If I knew that answer I could rush to the bookies and making a lot
:06:03. > :06:07.of money. This process could take use. The art Wai Phyo we're watching
:06:08. > :06:12.this closely and you have to be clean and transparent. We do not
:06:13. > :06:18.know what Britain's relationship with the EU will be like. We want to

:06:23. > :06:24.elections show a populist anti-immigrant group has pushed

:06:27. > :06:30.Social Democratic Party in the lead and the anti-immigrant
:06:31. > :06:32.Alternative for Germany party, The vote is being seen as a key test
:06:33. > :06:38.of Mrs Merkel's popularity before Our Berlin Correspondent,
:06:39. > :06:49.Damian McGuinness, says this result looks ominous for the ruling
:06:50. > :07:01.Christian Democratic Union. Any news of any results yet? Yes,
:07:02. > :07:07.what we are seeing so far is pretty much what the examples have been
:07:08. > :07:11.telling us. This new anti-migrant party has scored well over 20% so
:07:12. > :07:18.far according to initial count estimates which is the strong. It
:07:19. > :07:23.really does boot Angela Merkel in third place. This is politically
:07:24. > :07:26.incredibly embarrassing for the Chancellor because her own
:07:27. > :07:32.constituency is in this region. Also as you quite rightly said this vote
:07:33. > :07:36.was really fought over the issue of migration and the main campaign
:07:37. > :07:41.issue for this anti-migrant party was Angela Merkel was Mac refugee
:07:42. > :07:47.standards and her welcome towards refugees. The other party campaigned
:07:48. > :07:51.against it and it seemed almost a quarter of the electorate agreed
:07:52. > :07:55.with them. This will get some of the critics of Mrs Merkel was Mac stands
:07:56. > :07:59.on refugees including those on higher on party it will embolden
:08:00. > :08:04.them be late which is importing given the fact we have a national
:08:05. > :08:09.election next year which Mrs Merkel may decide to run in. Having said
:08:10. > :08:13.all that, Mrs Merkel still has no clear rivals cause that is no one in
:08:14. > :08:17.the left-wing opposition who can really match her popularity. Even
:08:18. > :08:23.though her ratings have slumped still half of the people want her to
:08:24. > :08:26.remain Chancellor. Even though polls show that many Germans do not agree
:08:27. > :08:33.with her refugee policy, any Germans do. The country is divided over
:08:34. > :08:36.this. A lot of the supporters the left-wing opposition and she has
:08:37. > :08:40.brought the party to the Centre which is what some left-wing party
:08:41. > :08:47.members do not agree with. Tell me more about AF G and why they have
:08:48. > :08:56.done so well. They are new. The came on to the scene three years ago they
:08:57. > :08:59.have morphed into an anti-migrant party. They are playing on the fears
:09:00. > :09:05.some Germans have of immigrants but the cannot go so far. People say
:09:06. > :09:09.they are politically toxic, the accused of being racist so some
:09:10. > :09:13.other parties not work with them to the could never enter government.
:09:14. > :09:18.Thank you very much. Mother Teresa has become the Roman
:09:19. > :09:20.Catholic Church's newest saint. A huge crowd attended

:09:43. > :09:51.with just 12 followers. Its aim - to care for the poorest
:09:52. > :09:55.of the poor in India, Pope Francis praised the example set
:09:56. > :10:00.by Mother Teresa to all Christians, as he declared the Blessed Teresa
:10:01. > :10:03.of Calcutta a saint to be venerated by the whole

:10:12. > :10:17.St Teresa's mission of serving the poor and the needy,

:10:54. > :11:00.of Mother Teresa's death and the medicine had not worked
:11:01. > :11:03.but I have faith in Even 19 years after her death,
:11:04. > :11:13.St Teresa remains an instantly recognisable figure for her work
:11:14. > :11:20.in the slums of Calcutta, where She was a saint before this human

:11:33. > :11:37.and admiration for all that We have been to Calcutta,
:11:38. > :11:43.we have seen what she has done Saint Teresa's critics said she took
:11:44. > :12:07.money from dictators and her supporters suggest they should show
:12:08. > :12:10.the same love and mercy in the lives as they say seem to these dead in
