12:02 pm
and china's rising influence topping the agenda, japanese prime minister for mucous sheet that will also seek the support of the g 7 for transparency around existing nucleus. don't pulse. that's great. now i have to hear a human speak to a corresponding role. mcbride, rob, we're hearing the president zelinski will be attending the summit. oh yeah, there is an awful lot of confusion about this this, that has been speculation, swelling all day, various reports of that. a lot of them is that lensky would indeed be attending in person here. he would be coming from that ukraine at the, the, what has been making people believe that this way would not be happened is of course he has already met with 4 of the european lead is the full european members of the g 7. and the last couple of weeks or so at, during his grand tour of the capitol, cities of europe, the thanking them for that support and also getting more pledges of support at. but then we started to get reports all day that indeed he would be attending in person
12:03 pm
. it would give him the chance to press ukraine's case with the g 7, but also with many of the other heads of states and world leaders who are arriving here as guests. but now in the last few minutes, in fact, just as we were coming on now we are now getting reports at that. in fact, he will be attending a only by video link remotely by video link. so it's remains on certain at this stage, whether or not he will be in person or whether he will be attending by a video connection that has been a no phone. no. nope, a, the phone will confirmation from the host a japan. we did have an early comment from ukraine itself, from the national security secretary of ukraine. alexi done the law as saying that that important decisions were going to be made at this g 7. it would be important for as a lensky to be helped in person. now we're hearing reports out of ukraine, that in fact, he will not be attending. meanwhile,
12:04 pm
at the business of the stomach goes on condemnation of russia continues. the g 7 has just produced a, a statement on ukraine condemning of the russian invasion and giving full support to ukraine. and interestingly, without that being too much new in this state, but just to kind of just kind of statements may be full by at the g 7 they use call for the complete and unconditional withdrawal of russian troops from ukrainian soil and saying that as a precondition in saying that any calls for peace must include that. that does seem to be a sideway swipe of china with its peace proposal of a few months ago. which corporate ceased by, without making any mention of russia giving, giving up any of the territories that he has seized on rome. what are we to make on the, the location of this summit? it's the fact that it's being held in hiroshima is that significant?
12:05 pm
yeah, i mean it's huge, the symbolic the sides of the 1st atomic attack and 1st of an atomic weapon used in will fire on the 6th of august at 8 15 in the morning. this device being dropped on the city with devastating consequences. so it was very significant for japanese hosts to show the other g 7 members. it's joe biden, the us presidents. he's only the 2nd serving us president to come here to the city, but the g 7 and the you lead us paid that respects at the head of she memorial peace park. i also met with a survivor outside attack. and this does say to him with japan and in particular food b o. from you can see that the prime minister, whose constituency hit the stream it is, it fits him with that calls for the world eventually somehow to give up its nuclear weapons. ok, thank you. for that update brought mcbride that for us in hiroshima to well,
12:06 pm
while the g 7 lead is we're meeting there is of course as rep was mentioning, that lingering project passed over the city of harris. she met a diplomatic editor. james space has more on that around the world. most people know what happened in hiroshima. but even though the risk nuclear bomb was dropped to almost 78 years ago, visiting for the 1st time is a deep, clean moving experience. so you're taking the deal and it's humbling to meet somebody, but it's like 90 roadside a custody ok. both her parents died. she showed me a picture drawn from her recollections, showing the last moments of her badly boned father. and she recalled what happened at 8 15 in the morning, on the 6th of august 1945 minutes at a bunch of wood. i know that when i finish my tours in the morning as old as beautiful bright light in front of my eyes, it looked like the 1st sunrise of the beautiful orange lied. and while i was starting to wonder what it was, the front window exploded. i was hit by broken glass and push towards the wall by
12:07 pm
the power of the blast. i didn't understand what had happened. that's how it all started. up to a 135000 people died in the city. for the 60 to 80000 were killed when a 2nd bomb was dropped 3 days later on like a saki 1945 to she could knock a who lost both of her parents and many other family members was just 6 years old. she has this message for the g, so i know you buckled. i want them to really pay attention to what happens when you use a nuclear weapon. there was a war and ukraine now, and this stomach should not be a place where you make military preparations in a russian while we have experienced a nuclear bumps. those tend, this meeting should be a place where they find a way towards peaceful and put them into into lessons. daniel hofstra is the acting direct to the international campaign to acknowledge you clear weapons which won the
12:08 pm
nobel peace prize 5 years ago. let me put this on the g 7 summit is taking place in the context of a brutal invasion of ukraine by russia. when you're going to threats are kind of used as nuclear blackmail in that, in that context. and they say that the risks of the use of nuclear weapons or the highest they've been out since the 19 eighties and probably so what we really need to see from the g 7 leaders is, is leadership, the survivors, old, now elderly. and in a matter of years, what happened here? one of the was things, ma'am, colleen does have a software will pass beyond living memory. it will not vote must not ever be forgot the world owes it to this place and its people that the memory is never extinguished. shaped space, which is 0 to rush the arab league summit, it's getting on the way in the saw the poor city of jetta with serious precedent attending for the 1st time since the will began in 2011. i shall all outside is
