Rubio hosts G20 ministers as Iran, Ukraine wars divide members

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio will host his G20 counterparts, including Russia's Sergei Lavrov, for talks on Friday that are expected to be fractious, with wars in Ukraine and Iran and surging energy prices fanning discord. The foreign ministers' meeting in Atlanta, Georgia, taking place just days before crucial US midterm elections, will set the stage for a December G20 leaders' summit in Miami at President Donald Trump's Doral resort.
