interest backings, 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 temperature lation. i'm feel go in by then, and this is the day the on ukraine. we have agreed on the plan that sets out calls and they don't, we'll leave the coordination of security assistance and training has occupied illegally occupied sovereign ukrainian territory of state that measure how principal position is follows. the neutral normal line. you don't, you get a status of ukraine is not in any position to dictate to your brain

what they must do to, to bring about a patient to have a last thing. i'm just piece of restaurant needs to understand that they have to step through regression against the print also on the date, south africa opens a new political chapter as politicians as one and the 1st coalition government since the end of a positive. i want people to say we love the needs, but the agency, my service provides remote at the start of the program of the organization of new what i think we need to check this. welcome to the day leaders of g 7, have concluded the 2nd day of the summit to where i focus on the war and ukraine. the final declaration via firms that support security event takes aim at russia and the country is enabling its war. i've got it in the italian and safety and bothering the leaders of germany from the united kingdom, actually, japan, canada,

and the united states demanded that russia and illegal war aggression, nicole's on china to stop supplying, must go with reference components. when they joined, the statement includes a commitment to bring a tractor back ukraine for as long as it takes and to ensure that russia puts 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 the forcing it's long time because of 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? it's 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 in the georgia, maloney. she invited to both of a lead us a rough from around the road from india, from brazil to 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, just go to fortress, she said. and so the people that get that gathered 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 euro pushed forward a little bit from the last summit and some items of the stress,

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 the g 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 . i see that from the ukrainian perspective, this summit was actually quite successful because 1st of all, in ukraine, really get a 50000000000 dollar 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 lensky. and also the g 7, the aust, russia, or of demanded russia and not to a tech ukraine anymore and destroyed the energy supply there. and for the 1st time you did you 7 said we then make relating to putting the russian lead to pay for the destruction in ukraine, because we are now taking his assets, actually it to give money to ukraine. so this 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 lions. okay, stay with us. that bad. we're going to hear from pump francis, who has become the 1st poke 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. we would condemn him and it's easy 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 the show then big it to tell us more about the pope's i can says, well the pope has actually

a concrete demand for the g 70 does. he said the positions should now regulate a i, because it's on the one hand facility, but also dangerous and dangerous, especially with regard to weapons. he 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 take care 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 while g 7,

the latest were meeting escalate. nato. defense ministers were continuing bad discussions in brussels. i agree that the lines will play a great to rolling towards anything, ministry i to you train and take over some of the logistics for delivering that support and training pledges. and biological assistance will continue to be organized through a u. s. last group around 50 countries. they 32nd time general getting stalls and bugs at the organization will be headquartered at the u. s. military base in germany. so it will consist of, of data come ons located up us specific day 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 the 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 will i correspondence, etc. sholtes has been following that metering of native defense ministers and joins us from brussels. welcome, terry. let's start with this, this new operation in germany. what do we know? what we know that it will be located at the spot in and they'll be about 700 people working there under natal command and joining the mostly us officials and military personnel who have been managing the transport of equipment and ammunition 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 recruit. we're 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 birds very much wanted to, to sort of institutionalize it a bit more so that it wouldn't be subject to sort of the flows of, of politics and some of the nato ally, countries. and this assumption of a grace, a role in code and they think ministry age to are 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 is 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's some 50

countries way more than the, you know, the nato allies, the 32 working on the so the secretary general still is 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 basically had to agree to allow hungry, which is subject to moscow to draw hours of this new mechanism is he's hungry, trying to really fine it's membership of the alliance. oh, i think this has been the definition of hungary insight, 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 sweet and 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 ukraine 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 that never seems to go away. defense spending by nato member countries. any developments that as 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 as, as 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 spend 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 it. 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 your credit and said, paid for e u membership. what can you tell us about that?

it's 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 that you side of town, they found a way to get around the traditional hungarian blockade. and it looks like if everything goes ahead, the membership talks we'll talk, we'll begin with the print and we'll do 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. sorry, terry schultz in brussels. it

lead to ministry units that crucial role in defending ukraine's naval front lines, such as that was along the debate pro river on the black sea. it's more complicated than defending the front on the black, then require specialist skills and equipment. the w is catalina trembling, joined one naval unit during training is a, but i'm bushed by a russian drone with a low to high and the boat was part of the shop village. this co russian drone is threatening us and it's just in front of us. what started as an exercise has become now a serious situation. so a 3rd way of tracking the drone, as we have towards the restaurants 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, especially units like this one are crucial for ukraine. smitley terry. despite this being a training exercise conditions to simulate the real case scenario. and given the fact that the countries of war are real attached can happen anytime they know why they are a target naval special forces units are tasked with defending ukraine, slaughter, borders or c. on the 1st of most of these, the russian fleet could dis inbox, thousands of troops anywhere along the coast line. but 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 se bore motor citizen children and one of our strategic routes passed through the sea was we can't win the ball without access to the black sea. but we have to keep control of this region. 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 today. but i didn't want this because i should put through we divers, need better equipment. you can do text mines and minimize underwater time in enemy territory who wants to just split it for a detection 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 not by suv, spend better selection them through the with the some of these men were involved in liberating snake island. i'm to fight for my, you po. one told us he survived the mine fields only to be caught by the russians. and this is all a day, as the russians knew everything about me rang for the position and unity just, that's what use of this isn't that we were treated specially subjected to torture. always i realize that as a new show, our enemy has no humanity,

myers on the mercy. in my own, i return to the i was determined to fight again as if it was no way of knowing. the human body can withstand incredible things. and then we're gonna get a chance these men are young, committed to an extremely motivated, but they say they are not enough. the thoughts of doing things in order to change the course of this large scale or to keep much, much more effort is needed. and we'll have to be some leadership of our country globbed in such as, for example, i think that was a new law and mobilization, largest and nothing but is there not enough people? why do we have losses and ever since i'm no longer talking about our troops, only uncle about the infantry, and he's telling me that we have lost his sight of these men might be the sharp tip of the ukrainian armed forces. yet they worry that without more and better weapons and smoke people behind them, all this could be in the south

africa is opening a new political chapter with a familiar leader present us total amount of power 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 routing and see lost its parliamentary majority for the 1st time. and when the government with a democratic alliance, which was once it's biggest rival opposition member has also been nominated for the president, meaning that they will be a vote. democratic alliance, the judge on steam. he isn't a said a coalition government wasn't habitable or the people have spoken. they have not given any party. a majority. now requires policies to come together. mister m a course that is the leader of his policy. and he is the middle of a policy that is committed to constitutionalism, defending our democracy and its 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 governments that delivers to the people that focus like a laser on getting rid of public of watching unemployment of making sure that so they're freaking citizens have electricity in the homes of in our economy. and that could be 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 on the convention center that parliament is facing. welcome diane. so now we're here, but civil rem, oppose a has a rival, a full this election to president. and what does that tell us about this coalition to 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 limit 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, often 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 do they, i and so you have to promise that democratic airlines to get them to back run that pose, that for president. well, 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 mortality is of the agreement include that they needs to be consensus on major decisions and with a concrete consensus, there's also a dispute resolution mechanisms in place. and when you look at that document, you really get a sense that the agency and in fact all the parties here in south africa, all entering a different era and a 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's. he basically said that the amc is at a point of it's essential crisis if it doesn't change. let's take a listen to what he had to say. if we'd be, he lives, we have been fighting 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 as well as focus. 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 the africans 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. the 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 i and see how they like me to manage well initially they, they will, they, they seems to be that they will be a council 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 the stage, but it 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 t issues. you know, they'll have to top tech, a 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 that will come in, came on. that is the day you can follow the team on social media. it's dw news. the latest headlines as ever available on dw dot com on the d w.

so from the entire team on that day, that's just for any part of your day with us having a good day and a great weekend the the
