2:02 pm
the group has agreed on new sanctions. they say that will stop russia of g 7 technology, industrial equipment and services that support a tool machine that's go live to hear a human speak to roll mcbride. so ukraine is once again, top of the agenda. what exactly we'll need is be discussing the yeah, that's right. i mean, it was always expected that ukraine would dominate to these dominated pre the previous a g 7 that was held since the stats of this will. and that is what we had on this 1st day. the house said japan and sylvia, cuz she to the japanese prime minister that you can flight very much what is happening in your up with what could be potentially happening in the indo pacific with the casita saying that today's ukraine could be stages tomorrow. that's a clear reference to chinese threats made against taiwan. and the fear that potentially china could take unilateral actions very much as russia took action
2:03 pm
against ukraine. so they had been a many measures outlined to further sanction. russia also ways of stopping russia from getting around those sanctions with regard to ukraine. it's interesting that most of this post day has been dominated by one that will lead to who isn't here. and that's a lot of them is a landscape of ukraine, which reports friends throughout the day that he would be attending in person on the last day. that would certainly be a surprise, but had not been expected. but the latest reports coming out of ukraine seemed to suggest that that will now not be the case that he will only be remotely addressing the g 7 by a video link. but the g 7 have issued a very strongly wooded statement condemning russia's invasion, supporting ukraine. and interestingly one very important cause saying that that can only be a, just a piece of wood that cannot be realized without unconditional withdrawal of russian
2:04 pm
troops. and that this must be included in any calls for peace that is taken as a sideway swipe at china, because it's much voltage at peace initiative. just coast for a cease 5 without russia at 1st giving up any of the territories that aid has illegally seized. and wrote, what is the significance of the summit being held in hiroshima? yeah, this has been very important for the japanese hosts to come to him. she met the scene of the 1st a nuclear attack to take the g 7 to pay their respects at the memorial park to see the meat museum, which explained exactly what happened here. on the 6th of august 1945, the g 7 lead is also met with a survivor of the atomic attack. and this is all part of becky. she does initiative, he is the m p a full part of his shima. he wants to see
2:05 pm
a world without nuclear weapons, as it does seem to be a big us could given that 3 of the g 7 members. all right, actually members of the original nuclear club usa, fonts and great britain. but the japanese point of view is that even with all of these increasing conflicts in the world, it might seem hard to, to get countries to agree to give out that nuclear weapons. but it makes all these complex conflicts fall more dangerous. if you keep in place vast nucleus, top pos. okay, thank you for that role, mcbride that for us in hiroshima. well, there is, of course, a lingering tragic post over the city of harris. you ma'am on the left and must get it to james space spoke with a survivor, and he cable me 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. since i can know what it's over to joe,
2:06 pm
and it's humbling to meet somebody, but it's like 90 year old saw day cause the 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 don't want that when i finish my tours in the morning as old as beautiful bright light. and on the mice, 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 the power of the blast. i did not understand what had happened. that's how it all started. up to a 135000 people died in the city for the 60 to 80000 who 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.
2:07 pm
she has this message for the g, so i know jim 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 summit should not be a place where you make military preparations in a rush. i'm a, we have experienced a new coupon, says tend. this meeting should be a place where they find a way towards peaceful with them. and to enter listen, daniel hofstra is the acting direct to the international campaign to acknowledge equally weapons which won the nobel peace prize 5 years ago. the g 7 summit is taking place in the context of a brutal invasion of ukraine by russia. when nuclear threats are kind of used as nuclear blackmail and 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 1980s. 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?
2:08 pm

damage to land in the middle of the country. at least 13 people have been killed while 10000 more have been displaced by the storm as go to hold that the mead who joins us now from near in molar which is in northeast and instantly hold. it has been described as these was flooding in a 100 years. how expensive is the damage actually we are here inside one of the hundreds of houses that has been flooded in this area in a northeast, a tally. and i mean really walking around here. you can see how high the water has arrived and we live to a complete standstill in this place. we're just going to to show on that little tour. now we spoke to the owners of this house. they were sleeping on the upper floor and the but they didn't expect this amount of weight simply because there was a drought up until earlier this week when these 2 racial rains came down about 6
2:12 pm
months worth in the span of 36 hours. you can see here this room had been newly done, the owners told us actually, but there were some ukrainian refugees thing here until a few weeks ago. and the have prepared this room just for the now all the street is completely flooded and for one house of yard or this is exactly what you see. we've been around other villages in this area. some of them are even more domesticated, and one of them mainly called sun packet that people there told us that the water came up to 160 centimeters high. inside their houses, they were basically shoveling and taking everything out of their houses, the furniture and that belonging absolutely everything. and then this damage to the infrastructure in some area, there's no electricity. there's no network coverage because also those facilities
2:13 pm
had been flooded. this is some, some things people here did not expect. they will tell you that the, the last time there was something more or less similar was back in the 1950s stories that the parents or grandparents told them about that something they did not expect. because as i said earlier, the conversations up to the beginning of the week was about the drought here in this part of the country. okay, thank you for that update. hold on about how many you'd speaking to us that from near e mail, i know it's late. s w ends. refugee agencies says that more than 1000000 people have been displaced by financing in sue don. at least 250000, among them have been forced to flee. the country is fighting intensifies in the capital call to you and i see on says for the 843000 people have been intentionally displaced. meanwhile, the head of 2 dogs, ruling silver and council, has fired the leader of the rapids support forces as his deputy denita of the army

2:15 pm
anything happens to go on to the routing sovereignty council would be the head of saddam's people embrace and movement north from under medic, i got that doesn't mean that he would also be in charge of the army. the army has its own system when it comes to who will take over the command of the army. so if anything happened to the commander in chief, there's also the issue of the talks that are happening between the 2 sides and decided city of jet. that is likely to reduce the powers of the recess, especially because, and now he's no longer the vice president. and it also could have a rule in terms of how the international bodies will be dealing with the $25.00. now, the international community has been dealing with both of the iris and between these army sites is equal, but it looks like what the general laughter is trying to do is to show that they must have a similar position in similar strength. and he wants the international community to not treat them as people. this could be one of the reasons like the general i've been put on has

2:17 pm
have too many people say that they can no longer afford to buy it to, to afford many of the basic food commodities in the market where they're available . because a lot of the markets are now to food and other commodities, then you have my thing in other parts of the country as well as been incense. 19 in the city of to nina and west are for over the past week. and then there's been renewed financing between the recess and pacific needs army in the city of yeah, let and spouse are for residency. that the situation is getting dire by the moment because 8 or new patients have not been able to access those in the city. and hospitals have been operational due to the ongoing fighting. at least a dozen people have lost their lives between thursday and friday in the city of nana and many residency that they want to try to leave because of the ongoing fighting big guns and it's coming to those who need it. thank you for that update. have a move in the 1st live in on the mind. into poll has issued an arrest warrant for 11 on central bank government,

2:19 pm
you know, denies any wrong doing what he was part of the political class that has been running this country for 3 decades. so many question whether or not just this will be served in the meantime, calls are going for him to resign. yes is nowadays and his current mandate and for the end of july, he's saying that he's not planning a to stay in the office. but the biggest question is, who takes, who takes over many legal activists are concerned that it's a vice governor takes over then there will be no changes whatsoever because he is part of the political club. so this is all happening at a time where the country's currency is the value of people's money, their deposits, their live savings have been trapped in bonds. in fact, they've practically lost it within nearly bankrupt state. so an interest in the international arrest, florence with many fear that so, you know, it's just going to stop there. center for the states. a sean is present,
