Prime Minister Narendra Modi backs G20's efforts to tackle terrorism, corruption

"There are some nations that use terrorism as an instrument of state policy," he said. "Indeed one single nation in South Asia is spreading these agents of terror in countries of our region." He did not mention Pakistan by name but left no one in doubt which country he was referring to.

The Prime Minister also indicated his unhappiness over China's refusal to support UN sanctions against Pakistan based terrorists when he said that "those who sponsor and support terrorism must be isolated and sanctioned, not rewarded."

"For us a terrorist is a terrorist." the PM said, adding that "India has a policy of zero tolerance to terrorism because anything less than that is not enough.

The Prime Minister also said that India "appreciates the G20 initiative on combating financing of terrorism".The G20 issued a joint communique saying it "will tackle all sources, techniques and channels of terrorist financing" and remains "committed to effectively exchanging information, freezing terrorist assets, and criminalising terrorist financing".

India has also supported G20 efforts "to eliminate safe havens for economic offenders, track down and unconditionally extradite money launderers and break down the web of complex international regulations and excessive banking secrecy that hide the corrupt and their deeds".

Police Clash With Pro-Rousseff Protesters in Brazil

Tens of thousands of people took to the streets across Brazil on Sunday in opposition to the new President Michel Temer, who took office last week following the ouster of Dilma Rousseff over charges related to financial mismanagement.

Some 50,000 protesters rallied in São Paulo alone, organizers told the BBC. A full week of peaceful demonstrations ended when police used tear gas, stun grenades and water cannons to disperse the crowd.

Rousseff — Brazil’s first female President — was impeached by the country’s Senate on Wednesday and replaced by Temer, who previously served as her Vice President. Temer will serve out the remainder of Rousseff’s term until the next election in 2018.

Rousseff and her supporters have referred to her impeachment as a coup. Many protesters were calling for immediate direct elections.
