wholesale fixing hills, cultural identity, men let's say together, part of our community life on the research is now on the top the international leaders gather of each day is the issue of ukraine is rarely fall from the top of the agenda. and so it was for the g 7 meeting a leading economies in it's only the final communicate. okay, but the country's backend russia's war against ukraine. attention will now shift to switzerland and this weekend's international ukraine peace summit. russia won't be that, but lot of air pollution has laid out to these conditions which have been rejected by ukraine and its allies. as a call for capitulation, i'm feel go invalid, and this is the day i the

on their crane. we have agreed on the plan that sets out how they thought leads to coordination of security assistance and training has occupied illegally, occupied sovereign ukrainian territory of state. so that measure how principal position as follows. the neutral normal lines. you don't, you could, the status of ukraine is not in any position to dictate to your brain what they must do to, to bring about a page to have it. last thing i'm just piece of restaurant needs to understand the purpose of the regression against your brain. also on the deep south africa opens a new political chapter as politicians as one and the 1st coalition government. since the end of a pass side,

i want people to say we love the deeds. but the in see must of provides remote to start the program of the organization of new what i think we need to check this. welcome to the de leaders of g 7. have concluded the 2nd day of the somebody to where i focus on the war and ukraine. the final declaration via firms that support security even takes aim at russia and the country is enabling its wall. i've got it in the italian and safety and bothering the leaders of germany, france, the united kingdom, actually, japan, canada, and the united states demanded that russia and illegal war aggression nicole's on china to stop supplying moscow with weapons components. so that joint statement includes a commitment to bring a tractor back ukraine for as long as it takes and to ensure that russia floats the bill. it says we remain strongly committed to helping you try and meet it's urgent short time term financing needs. as well as supporting its long term recovery in

the construction priorities. russia must and it's the legal board of aggression and to pay for the damage is close to you cry. let's get more from dw is that senior correspondent, the band vega to is that a battery a welcome band. so tell us more about. so what happens today at the g 7 as the 2nd day of this summit here in the pool. yeah. was actually fully designed and directed by the host the far right the leader of it to the georgia, maloney. she invited to both of a lead us a rough from around the road from india, from brazil, from ducky it to show her it's a national approach to the road. and to show that she's not only a national leader, but the somebody who's open to the version of the g 7 is not a fortress, she said. and so the people that govern government around

a huge table. so it was not d 7 anymore. it was g 20 actually, and the latest tech codes old problems are ranging from migration climate change to the middle east, ukraine. you name it. and afterwards there was a, a, a conclusion of these meetings. 36 pages long was a long list of political initiative. nothing of them actually. you about the all of them, the, you know, pushed forward a little bit from the last summit and some items of the stress is some the abandon like, for example, the book abortion of was cancelled because mrs. bologna is a very strong opponent of abortion, but for the 1st time, did you 7 agreed. that takes ation of the super rich individuals around the world has to be increased. and so there's progress on some funds and it's, it was a display of hominy and unity and around the world actually. and it's not

a bit of advocate, was that, and he said he expected important decisions on ukraine didn't get what he wants to c a c did from the ukrainian perspective, this summit was actually quite successful because 1st of all, it ukraine really get a $50000000000.00 loan and issued by the g 7 and the backdrop of the russian assets are frozen, mostly in, in europe, the g 7, the end of these proceeds from the russian, frozen stewart drain, and your printer then pay back this loan. so this is a very sustainable finance mechanism to find as the help for ukraine in the next years. and the sealants could also assign to by letter agreements and security is joe biden, the president from the united states and also is japan. and the help is most

sustainable now. and this is a successful as a lensky, and also the g 7, the aust, russia, or of demanded russia and not to attack ukraine anymore and destroyed the energy supply there. and for the 1st time you, does you 7 said we then make relating to put in the russian need to pay for the destruction in ukraine, because we are now taking his assets, actually it to give money to ukraine. so there's a development here. and so lensky, the president of ukraine, himself said this is also a step further on his way to nate to actually to membership in the rest of the alliance. okay, stay with us. that bad, we're going to hear from, from francis, who has become the 1st pope to attend a g 7 meeting at the pontiff, held by lashelle tools for the latest. if you find friends canada, and it's really on the summit side lines,

you also joined the special discussion on the potential impediments of artificial intelligence and the sound of the warning. and the name, no money, we would condemn humanities, see to a future without type. see if we took away people's abilities to make decisions about themselves and their lives will justice by doing them to depend on the choices of machines and then it shows to the mac. then bigger to tell us more about the pope's, i can sense well, the pope has actually also a concrete demand for the $270.00 does. he said, the positions should now regulate a i, because it's on the one hand 1st in a be bad thoughts are dangerous and dangerous, especially with regard to weapons. you said a weapons that stand by a i and the ultimate is automatically deciding how to kill into the code. these

weapons should be banned immediately. and the answer from the g 7 was a little bit lou farm and the, the communicate does only in a word that there will be a kind of a, you know, action plan to tech of this issue. but no concrete answers to the pope. and it was the 1st time that the pope actually addressed the g 7. this is also something that georgia maloney wanted. the italian prime minister and the pope also brought a little bit of humor to this long, long summit day. he had 2 versions of his speech with him, a short one, and along with your faces. i think i've been okay. a bets a ring at the g 7 summit in italy. thank you so much. i the while g 7, the latest were meeting it's late nights. so defense ministers were continuing that

discussions in brussels. agree that the alliance will play a great to rolling co ordinating ministry. i to you train and take over some of the logistics for delivering that support and training. pledges of biological assistance will continue to be organized through a us led group around 50 countries 32nd time general. again, stalls and bugs at the organization will be headquartered at the us military base in germany. it was on the face of a need to come on located up us facility in this problem on up logistical nodes in the eastern part of the alliance. bundled a 3 star general reporting to supreme, i'll come on to europe soccer. these efforts do not make natal apart due to the conflict, but they will enhance our support to crane to uphold its right to self defense

without correspondence, etc. schultz has been following that meeting of native defense ministers and joins us from brussels. welcome, terry. let's start with they said this new operation in germany. what do we know? so what we know is that it will be located at the spot in and there will be about $700.00 people working there under nato command and joining the mostly us officials and military personnel who have been managing the transport of equipment and ammunition uh to ukraine. across across the pool is border for the most part at the moment. and so this is something that really was an initiative of the secretary general, un stilton burke. he very much wanted to move more of the responsibility for helping ukraine over to the nato side. as is barrett reagan were speaking about earlier, you know, the, you, europeans are looking for ways to what they called from proof of things like you support for ukraine just in case uh, the november elections don't to result in a,

in a us presidents who wants to continue this kind of age. so this was one reason why stilton berg very much wanted to, to sort of institutionalize it a bit more so that it wouldn't be subject to sort of the full. 2 goes of, of politics and some of the nato ally, countries. and this is obviously have a grace, a role in code. and i think ministry age to a you, craig, that, that, that is that nato trump proofing is just as you say, it's support that. so that's the, that's the effort because once this is uh, sort of institutionalize, you've got 700 nato people who are not subject to any single government and they're working on it. and then basically, i mean, that's their job. it will continue full steam ahead and that's not what's happening right now. right now, it's very much focused on the united states with the ukraine defense contact group led by lloyd austin. if you don't have lloyd austin anymore, you don't know what's going to happen with that group. and there are some 50 countries way more than the, you know, the nato allies,

the 32 working on the so uh century general stills number one and 2 to cement as much as he could. basically before november we have to be honest. so in order to get the deal through, i don't have to agree to allow hungry, which is so prophetic to moscow, to draw a hours of this new mechanism is hungry, trying to really fine it's membership of the alliance. oh, i think this has been the definition of hungary insight um, both nato and the european union for, for quite a while. it usually does more of this stuff on the east side. but remember, we saw hungry hold up sweden's membership, becoming the last country to, to approve sweden joining the alliance. so hungry has, has been an outlier for a long time on ukraine. it is particularly adamant that that no a go forward from hungry that, that no soldiers would be used in any kind of support and basically still number and had to go personally to hungry earlier this week to get victor oregon to agree

and, and he's got what's called an opt out, no hunger in money. no hon gary, an assets of any kind will be used to help you crane that doesn't go along with, with the rest of nato allies or the european union. but this is the deal that they had to make. and i think most people feel like that's the price you pay for getting it to go ahead. since this is an organization that has to operate by consensus, a topic, but never seems to go away. defense spending by nato member countries. any developments that or well yeah, it doesn't go away. it gets bigger all the time. i'm even basically dealing with the threats from russian aggression name that nato has had to allocate more assets, more national resources from all countries to the effort to in the 1st place. of course, protects native territory. they've got new regional plans in place, which call on more from every single ally. so remember that when we talk about this defense spending, it's about how much nato countries spent on their own militaries for the last 10

years. that's been set at 2 percent. you hear people talk about this all the time. the 2 percent, 2 percent of g d. p is what they're supposed to spend, but that pledge expires this year. so at the next nato summit in washington, in the summer, they're going to come up with a new number and it's expected to be bigger. they're going to say that perhaps all countries need to spend 2.5 percent, maybe even 3 percent. but of course, getting them to agree to this is not finding some of those countries are spending just over one percent now, even after 10 years of promising to spend to. so whatever they get on paper doesn't mean countries are going to spend that. unfortunately, some of them have use the same argument to say that they can't commit to long term spending for ukraine. so as you say, money is always been a problem and it's only going to get bigger when they have to pay for more resources to, uh, to you know, block whatever, you know, may happen with the, with russia and away from nature. there's been progress on ukraine, said paid for e u membership football. can you tell us about that of late tonight and not just

ukraine, but mold over as well. we've, we've just had, you know, in the last hour an announcement come out from the building. presidency building holds the 6 months rotating presidency of the european council right now. and they've announced that ambassadors have agreed in principle to start membership negotiations with ukraine and will do, but at the end of june. now this still needs one more stamp of approval from ministers, a council of ministers next week. but this means that again on this side of town, the use side of town, they found a way to get around the traditional hun, gary, and blockade. and it looks like you've, everything goes ahead. the membership talks will talk, will begin with you kind of moved over the end of june, and that's an absolute record speed the belgians and said they wanted this to happen during their presidency and they only have till the end of june. so just getting in under the wire with that makes every type of shows in brussels.

it leads to ministry units that crucial role in defending ukraine's naval front lines, such as those along the debate pro river on the black say it's more complicated than defending the front on the black, doesn't require specialist skills and equipment. the w is catalina. trembling joined one naval unit during training as i but i'm bushed by a russian drone with the height of the boat was off of the shop. this is elizabeth, hey, cover question. a russian throne is threatening us. it's just in front of us. what started as an exercise has become now a serious situation. so i think the way of tracking the drone, we have to move the russians know how important piece training sessions are to ukraine's forces. ukraine has a nearly 600 kilometer water of order that needs to be defended against the russian aggression. this is why special units like this one are crucial for ukraine's

military. despite this being a training exercise conditions to simulate real case scenario. and given the fact that the countries of war are real attach can happen anytime they know why they are a target. naval special forces units are tasked with defending ukraine's water borders or c on the 1st of most of the russian fleet could defend box thousands of troops anywhere along the coast line. but the where if we don't have the appropriate weapons and personnel, they, the russians could, occupies the cities like odessa. what the good thing you quite know from the black say the more to citizen the truth. and then one of our strategic routes passed through the see was we can't win the ball without access to the black sea. but we have to keep control of this region and one of the people, the control and the theater here on of the unit also includes diverse risk. their lives in walters,

littered with my son this to day. but i will just because i should put the we divers, need better equipment detects mines and minimize underwater time in enemy territory . who wants to adjust it for a defection means are only short range requiring close proximity to the enemy. it was beautifully done this before the duels for longer under water travel to avoid putting our boats at risk and advice would be spent, but are select, send them through the wood lawyer. some of these men were involved in liberating snake island and the site former. you pull, one told us he survived the mine fields only to be caught by the russians. and this is all a they asked the russians knew everything about me. a rank saw the position in unity just. that's what is a village and we were treated especially subjected to torture. always i realize that as a new shaw, our enemy has no humanity, myers on the mercy in my own. i return to the i was determined to fight again,

and if it was no way of knowing the human body can withstand incredible things and they will be in your nature. these men are young, committed to an extremely motivated, but they see they are not enough. so there's always something in order to change the course of this large scale, or he's taking so much more effort as needed and we'll have to be some leadership of our country club in such as, for example, that was a new law and mobilization, largest and nothing is there not enough people? and we have lost us and ever since i'm no longer talking about our troops, only uncle is about the infantry. he's telling me that we have lost his sight. it. these men might be the sharp tip of the ukrainian armed forces. yet they worry that without more and better weapons, as more people behind them, all this could be in v a south africa is opening a new political chapter with a familiar leader present

a settled around the powers that has been nominated for re election after his pottery struck a deal to form a coalition, government will make us have been sworn in as a sermon in cape town, the ruling and say lost its parliamentary majority for the 1st time and will not government with a democratic alliance, which was once its biggest rival and opposition member has also been nominated for the president, meaning that there will be a vote. democratic alliance, the judge on steam, he is a said, a coalition government was inevitable or the people have spoken. they have not given any party. a majority. now requires policies to come together. mister m a pulls that is the leader of his policy. and he is the meta of a policy that is committed to constitutionalism, the feeling of democracy edits, institutions, and therefore we will work with them just as we will join hands with any person in the political spectrum who was genuinely committed to corruption, free,

transparent government that delivers to the people that focus like a laser beam on getting rid of public of watching unemployment of making sure that so they're freaking citizens having that tricity in the homes and in our economy. and that we are on a trajectory that is moving upwards not let's find out what's going on with that correspondence and ok. who's in cape town? the convention center that parliament is facing. welcome diane. so now we're here, but civil run. the post has a rival, a full base election to president. and what does that tell us about this coalition do? well, the coalition deal is, is definitely still going to stand. the rival comes from another group of parties which has formed almost like a coalition of opposition. the economic freedom fighters, the, to this my lima is the candidate that has been put forward. and he was put forward

by the, the u. d. m another political party that group of parties appeared to be placing themselves as the official opposition to this coalition. so already we starting to see them the way that this new parliament in this new make up is going to shape up . previously, the democratic alliance would have been the main opposition party up and taking on the a and c. but they've agreed to vote with the amc today and to enter the government of national unity moving forward. and that is miss that other parties are not part of that agreement on now acting as the, the opposition here in parliament. and so what did the i, and so you have to promise that democratic airlines to get them to back, run the post if the president will, the parties have actually put together a sort of a statement of intent where they've listed a number of things that they will be using, going forward, for example the,

the modalities of the agreement include that they needs to be consensus on major decisions and where they can't reach consensus. there's also a dispute resolution mechanisms in place. and when you look at that document, you really get a sense that the amc and in fact all the parties here in south africa, all entering a different era and the different phase. earlier on we, we spoke to the agencies stick with the general. i'm thinking in by luna and he spoke about how critical this phase is. he basically said that the amc is at a point of an existing shall crisis. if it doesn't change. let's take a listen to what do you have to say? if we have life, we have been quite difficult positions fighting for the home phone and forget about the people we wouldn't be wiped out. we wouldn't be wiped out with the people, not just the one to us and squarely spoken.

so in that agreement, um the n c that the between the and see with the a, the i of p and the number of, of the smaller parties. you really can see that the parties are trying to find that position of how they will respond to the issues that saw that pretends really want to, to, to hear from there's a number of issues such as they say that they want to make sure that you know this, the social cohesion that issues of poverty are dealt with, that issues of, of safety are dealt with. the challenge though, is that the part you still have to work out the how calls of how these issues will be dealt with. and that will be the difficult part of this coalition going forward . sharing power will be a 1st for the items, see how they're likely to manage well initially they, they will, they, they seems to be that they will be a counsel that will be formed amongst the political parties in it who are contained in this coalition agreement. and they will come up with some of the rules that will

cover the agreement going forward. of course, these are the beginning stages and not all the details have been worked out at this stage. but this is a general idea of how the parties want to cooperate. they want to have a dispute resolution mechanism. they want to make sure that even when that isn't consensus, that the different members have the points heard by the rest of the group. and ultimately, it will go to who has the, the, the loud to say and who can agree on these key issues. and you know, they'll have to talk, tackle major topics like unemployment and like any quality and south africans will be watching very closely to see how this government of national unity moves forward . next time done. ok in cape and that's is today. you can follow the team on social media at dw news, the latest headlines as ever available on d, w dot com on the d w. so from the entire team on that day,
