ukraine's president arrives in japan as he works through shore up support at the g 7 summit the flu, i'm putting you back to boy, you're watching l g 0 life from don't also coming up divisions in the arab league as serious president returns, often more than a decade of diplomatic isolation, as greeks prepared to go to the post we need, the young seasonal work is unable to cast advantage. and mosquito magnets researches try to understand why the and fix the trusted to some people or the novice. the thank you very much for joining is we start in japan,
10:02 am
where ukrainian president voted me, is lensky has just landed in hiroshima. later, he is expected to address the leaders of the g 7 who are meeting in the city. it's a native stop for the lensky on a global diplomatic tor war, and ukraine continues to dominate discussions at the g 7 summit. on friday, the us agreed to support keys, access to advance fi to jobs and training for pilots. as go live to our diplomatic editor james base was covering the g 7 summit for us in hiroshima. so james t ukrainian president has arrived in japan. there was some doubts yesterday as to whether he'd be there in person. but he's there impressed in a highly symbolic visit which cops a busy diplomatic weak point of the. yeah, a very, very important i think. and symbolic seeing the pictures are all the distant pictures at this stage, but of president the landscape getting off the play. now, in about a cade heading into the center hiroshima to join the all the leaders of the leaders
10:03 am
hotel. now there are leaders from lots of different countries here in addition to the g 7. but we all going to see present landscaping standing shoulder to shoulder with the 7 countries of the g 7. that symbolic unit itself. because remember, this used to be until 2014, until president putin took over control of tri media and took that amex that from ukraine. this used to be the g 8. so you can see this potentially, and then we'll have to see exactly what pictures we see in the coming days as present savanski standing in the place that used to be president putin. this present landscape has already, as he's landed moments after he landed, put out a tweet. he said japan g 7 important meeting with partners and friends of ukraine, security and enhanced cooperation for victory. peace will become closer today and of course as follows. his visit, as you said, fully to the arab league summit, reaching out there to some nations that are still somewhat favorable to,
10:04 am
to moscow that they haven't taken sides. they've remain neutral and you can speak to diplomats, there are certain places, for example, of them, at least one of the one i was robot until recently, by diplomats to buy kind of a place where many rich russians still go. so that's why i think the focus on, on the arab league, of course, the financial might, to the arab league. you craig doesn't just need weapons, doesn't, doesn't just need political support. it needs money to. yeah. and, and he has a support already from the g 7 leaders. i mean definitely support him. but he's going to be looking at convincing those countries that are sitting on the fence. roselle india, who are also at the summit in japan. yeah, absolutely. from the g 7 leaders, you're right, he has the political support. he has all the right noises and he's getting more or more in terms of weapons in finance. but things like the f sixteens,
10:05 am
which now the us as decided that you kind can have not from the us itself, but from other partners, is going to get the details of that and find which nato countries were given. the f sixteens that's, i think, one of the efforts to try and actually make that actually happen in happened very soon that we'd be doing with g 7 partners because many of those on nato nations with the exception of japan. but as you say, yes, important outreach as well to all the very big countries. countries like indonesia, like india, like brazil, which major major powers in the world. and right now i'm not like the g 7 giving any weapons. they have all taken the position of condemning the invasion, but not giving as much in support as the lensky would like. yeah, james, let's talk about some of the other things on the agenda for somebody that and china is growing. nuclear arsenal has been discussed there. tell us more about that or
10:06 am
yeah, and china will remain the all the big focus of this g 7. this is a g 7 meeting already happens every few years, but it's happening in the asian partner, the g 7 happening in asia. china always would be a big issue. yes, you're right. there's a new clear declaration. the 1st thing that they put out is a statement because the nuclear theme is a very important one for japan, given where there's somebody who's taking place in the sites on the 1st nuclear bombing back in 1945. but on other issues to china is in the spotlight. we've seen the draft version of the community k. and again, as we've seen in recent years, the g 7 is trying to be pretty careful here is trying to send clear warning, red lines to china on certain issues like nuclear. at the same time, it knows that each of the 7 major economic powers trades with china, the 2nd biggest economic power in the world. so they want to keep that trade open.
10:07 am
they say they're not trying to support the economic progress of china, but on certain issues they say that they need to send the message. for example, excessive dependence of setting g 7 countries on china and critical areas of the supply chain is also telling you the in the drop communicate, you'd expect some of the sort of mention of taiwan at the moment. the wedding. we seem pretty plans just talking about the need for continue peace in the taiwan straits. james, thank you very much. jane spaces odd to kinetic editor, live that in hiroshima, japan. while the growing tension between china and taiwan is also on the g 7 agenda . tie one east president site in wayne address the subject on the anniversary over 70 evan office. since at the global consensus is very clear that the taiwan strait issue needs to be resolved peacefully. war is not an option. this is not the policy can unilaterally change the status quote in
10:08 am
a non peaceful manner. while the g 7 has repeatedly accused raging of threads and intimidation against taiwan, china says the group is prejudiced. jessica washington has been speaking to people living in the coastal chinese city of champagne, which is close to taiwan. this factory in the city of simon, there more than 1000 workers, and most of them are from mainland china. all accepted the boss and one who is from taiwan. he was one of the 1st time when he's investors to come to salmon more than 30 years ago. was do more than we are all chinese. yeah, the 2 sides of the street, also a family. and we have 100 percent support from outcome patterns here. and he says, recent attentions in the region haven't jumped into his confidence and opportunities for collaboration courses. so young, those on the young against. we always hope the 2 sides could integrate and develop
10:09 am
team young. i'm not argue over trivial matters is the types of success stories 18 wants to highlight. an example across strange success. but his views don't represent the majority in taiwan opinion. polls have repeatedly showed only a small minority support unification in the long or short term. these 2 groups waited eagerly for the 1st glimpse of taiwan the short journey of just reaching the china is. i want him in islands and you can see them from the mainland. last month, the china carried out a m. c. drills. it's people's liberation, army or p l, a simulating, and so humans of taiwan. what i expect moving forward is a, a not necessarily risk of conflicts, but certainly the potential for miscalculation for accidents and for
10:10 am
misunderstanding. the current situation is, is quite risky in terms of that lack of crisis communication mechanisms between the 2 countries and the heightened activity around tie one by the p l. a for these travelers. the coast of sherman is more a holiday hot spot than a geo political flash point. but many people come here just to see, tie one from a distance is this also was all the point. you know, i hope our model and that will be what you mean by some old trying to see about the dream about the song. because you, it's a chinese developing very well. and the tie one is not the communist party is doing a very good job. even the children on just here for fun on the beach. this group is known as the young pioneers of the communist party, led by chinese soldiers with teaching them about patriotism, and reinforcing the message of one china. jessica washington out a 0 sum in china. this syrian present lashawn aside, has attended the bleak somebody talked to more than
10:11 am
a decade of isolation. syria was suspended from the regional block in 2011 after a science wide spread crack down on opposition. protesters. i should have bar reports. it's ryan sent bowman for sylvia and president bush auto, said he and the 12 years of diplomatic isolation and delivered a speech, quoting for out of unity and an end to what he called for him into feelings. what um, what the quote, probably a definitely above all, we must leave domestic affairs to our respective people. all we need to do is prevent foreign forces from intervening. we hold the summit in an unstable global landscape and what syria remains in the heart of the air region, which is crowned by this summit, which i hope will pay the way for a new journey of joint error, action, harmony, peace and prosperity rather than destruction. and war in 2011 thousands of civilians took to the streets of syria calling for reforms. assets,
10:12 am
ties deteriorated with gulf. lead is when his tooth opened. fire on civilians destroyed entire villages and used chemical weapons. they had a big suspended, serious membership in response to you and believe nearly 400000 people were killed in syria. sante arabia led a growing number of, of nations seeking to reconcile with us that the kingdom and the united of amyris has pushed for the reconciliation, arguing it's the only way to end the violence and a law, millions of people to return to their homes with you and i'll tell you so far, the more we console our lines to be a platform for complex enough with the complex that have curriculum development in our regional. it's with pleasure today the talking to bash on a sample. the president of syria is present to you as the lead because of the states as hunted down to resolutions, allowing syria to zoom involvement in meetings. and we hope that this will
10:13 am
contribute to the restoration of peace and security in syria in order to lift up and was human to only be our breaching for effective future for the entire region, but widely seen as efficient. the league has grappled for decades with divisions and compete. you've got genders among is 20 to remember, states divide, that deepened off to the 2011 out of spring. the organization is published in 1945 to increase regional cooperation is not widely accused of failing to deliver on his promises. it's not a little to end the violence in syria, yemen, libya also then sa, do baby eyes trying to broke out a piece the between. so does warring factions and who knows, you did the talks under weight and magenta is it approximates between the 2 sides. but it's pretty much where the staves to talk about to bring to you. but despite
10:14 am
the sound you push for a united from to tackle security and economic challenges, the out of the a p as more devices than ever hush about. but i just, you, as in other world news polls are opening for greeks living abroad ahead of sundays, parliamentary election prime minister k aqua smiths of talk. he says, how this final roddy is new democracy party is promising growth and tax cuts. let's go live to stephanie debt goes covering the election as far as just joining us from the greek island of rhode. stephanie your on an island, but a lot of the seasonal tourism work is there will not be voting. it seems, tell us why yes, of course, this is one of greet uh, greece is made, industry is the tourism industry. it is well underway across the greek islands. and that means that you have tens of thousands numbers, estimating almost a quarter of a 1000000 workers. greek workers who has left their place of residence, which is essentially where they are supposed to vote,
10:15 am
to come to these islands to work and sustain and keep this towards an industry going. now it's not clear because there is a way to be able to vote and your non place of residence, but it's very complicated and we've been talking to some of the workers here on road. some of them didn't know others didn't know, but it still didn't work for them. and there's a lot of frustration about the fact that they cannot vote. this is our report. it's not peak season yet, but the islands are already filling with tourists. and that means the seasonal workers are here too. it's intense work, but it's better money than what's available on the mainland were told. and within the election imminent, the majority of this mostly young workforce will not be voting. but i would really prefer to be athens to go down, you know, to the, to the square, and to save face. i'm from athens and said people uh that they are see it,
10:16 am
but they did not residence roads. they are from some other place. we cannot vote from here, they need to go to their place to vote. many do know that there is actually a way to register to vote in a place of non residents, but it's not clear. we put it as a feel i didn't know about that either. if items, to be honest about this, and i believe most of the really have no idea about that. they keep us in the dark all the time. it's an issue that's been raised in these elections with many of the opposition parties accusing dis government evict, squeezing around a quarter of a 1000000 young people were employed in the seasonal tourism industry across the greek islands. it's not a new issue. maria is a musician in here for the season. she missed voting in the last election because she was here on the island. and so made an effort to look into how she could vote this time. she says it was complicated to find out, and it still hasn't worked for her. sunday's election date was actually announced officer the official deadline for non residents to register in this particular
10:17 am
election, dana solvers, unless they must these as if they're playing with us. they say you come to register . yes, but they did the register, then they say, but you're not on time. okay, so why didn't you announce a deadline in advance? so we could be on time. right now i feel that they cannot have the least impact on my own right to vote for many in this generation. the main is to, is it life has become unbearably expensive. ones, the rent, it's $800.00 euros per month, and your salary or monthly salary are $600.00 per month. and you have 30 or 30 plus years old and you're still needs to live with your parents because you can not rent your own house. you cannot have the kids if you want to, you cannot travel, you cannot, you're a slave frustration and the desire to change things. but for now, the need to make money to be able to build the future means that
10:18 am
a lot of those that keep the tourism industry roading over, which is one of the most important sectors. but the greek economy will not be having their se, stephanie decor, ultra 0 on the greek island of rhodes. but stephanie, good, the seasonal workers, just go back home for the vote and then return the well, essentially they could, but that takes time and it takes money. and if you talk to the workers, or even though under know they are supposed to have days off, it's pretty much a 247 job in the, in the sense of 7 days a week. even if you did have the time off, you need the money to be able to get off the island to be able to go to your place of residence, to carry out your vote and to return. there is 11 teacher here that we spoke to who said that he was going to point in 6. i'd travel to the mainland on cost is vote and come back because a lot of the people that we spoke to as you heard there, one to cost. they're both, they are politicized. they are politically aware. they want to change things,
10:19 am
particularly when it comes, as you heard that from sophia to the cost of living. um that but they are for straight to that they think even if they were able to cost their boat as well, they said probably nothing would change. thank you, stephanie for that, stephanie deck and i for i stay in boats in greece, said i had on al jazeera and i'm hooked up with me in northeast. it really brings you to latest on the floods that have never said that. they may never mind, never on counting the cost of presidential one often set up here we explore how the outcome could shape the country's economy. the labor market is facing of should is it time to of scale work? cuz plus consumers are struggling with sky high inflation. but the luxury sector is still shining. counting the cost on elder 0 is the conflict into time continues.
10:20 am
have co respondents are on the ground to report every angle, if the story has been ongoing between the hours and the 6 needs are me available. beat ages, say that a 100 i'm soothing is refugees. why you have to be registered under what kind of access page this dispute does not get to where it is needed, so it may not get there at all. the challenge ahead is your state without just a unique phone that protest by a palestinian artist using the symbol of national identity to create postage in passport stamps. but also some bird life plans come flying anyway, sending a message of resistance about the arab israeli conflict. i don't know sort of, we've come to palestine, palestine sundance, the stamp of defiance on out of the, of the,
10:21 am
[000:00:00;00] the, the watching out g 0, recap for our top. so use this, our ukraine's president voted means lensky has arrived in japan. he's expected to address. he does at the g 7 summit in hiroshima on sunday on friday need is a g 7 and bounce new sanctions on russia. and the us is fact. a training of ukrainian pilots, one american s, 16 hydrogen syrian present restaurant aside has attended the mix. i'm a doctor more than a decade of to provide a guy summation. syria was suspended from the regional block in 2011 over assets 5 down on opposition code. and the polls are opening for greeks living abroad ahead of sunday's parliamentary elections, prominence to cure yahoo as meets of taxis and his left his rival. the next is the

10:23 am
own these family has owned their house and must tell them about that since the 1960, there were among the 1st residents of history. there has been, has been these wooden boards to prevent the water from sleeping in through the front door and shut them on. we thought there would be a limited amount of rain about 10 to 15 cents meters. instead it was a much high level. it's painful. we put it up to visual, sees into which to renovate, to say it's in this state now. it's difficult to watch many here, which often oper for was one watching the rain water in the their streets and homes is the worst flooding scene here in about a century. 6 months of torrential rain fell in a span of just 36 hours before that. the concern here was drought, and the soil was so dry that when that torrential downpour came, it couldn't absorb it. thousands of acres of vineyards,
10:24 am
food grows and vegetable farms. i now submerge the damage likely to effect next year's harvest as well. more than 20 rivers burst, the banks, sending torrents of muddy water, tearing through entire towns like here in san diego. frightening hours the fist as my seen and send that up in is it still can't get through to it. is that sort of thing? it was like having a river here, the current was so strong, the risky was, couldn't reach off. we didn't have food or water. we didn't took fix this. it's only the next day at 9 pm that the risk is finally came. the 1st of the rising water broke a window at the back of the house. and within minutes, furniture was floating around the level which clearly visible about the media. and it's hard to point fingers under these circumstances, but some upward think at least some of the blame on old infrastructure that
10:25 am
couldn't with them. extreme conditions, as mostly people say, is climate change. the trends? what looks like a peaceful body of water into a devastating tidal way for that that, i mean, i'll just see that in any, never mind, you know, if in protesting george's capital against the decision to resume flies, to russia, police to suppress protests as into bc on friday they gathered outside parliament after the 1st direct line from moscow in nearly 4 years, landed in the capital of president who has launched these harmonious powers has treated, criticizing the governments move. last week, russia abolished visas for georgia. national as in bob boy, has started releasing more than $4000.00 prisoners to ease over crowding inmates, age 60 and above and juvenile, as are among those of received a presidential part in prison, is often face cramped facilities for hygiene and don't get enough food on this
10:26 am
international has describes conditions as deplorable now to zambia, where researches as built a unique facility to test why mosquitoes are drawn to certain people more than others. they help to use their findings around what smells the insects prefer to fight diseases like malaria. assign instead of to call him, baker has more they see you in the distance, they sense your breath and they feel the heat of your skin. but despite their tiny brains, mosquitoes probably smell you 1st from far away. a. this is a special facility for simulated blood, sucking a 1000 cubic meter box and the zambian forest enclosed by nets with 6 pods for real humans to sleep. and we'd like to think of it as of the world's largest pesky murray, the mosquitoes. each tent is connected to a heated landing pad, fitted with infrared cameras that watch as hungry mosquitoes look for a nightly feed. the researchers who built it are trying to understand how the bugs
10:27 am
pick their victims. and this is quite similar to what a mosquito with experience and nature when the african malaria mosquito actually ends as a climb. it actually has to be followed. won't carnes emitted from the human body of sleeping statements that often humans a house in grapes? it's a quite a busy smelling cost for the mosquitoes. malaria, a parasite that is carried by mosquitoes kills more than half a 1000000 people every year. and nearly half of the world is exposed to it is quite surprising that mosquito is also i have a quite complex napa system. the brain actually looks awful, i guess, or similar to al brain. believe it or not, a very, very 20 insect with a powerful sense of smell under the camera. one of the landing pets, it's warm and it admits carbon dioxide just like us. but there are no human sense. so no mosquitoes. another same conditions,
10:28 am
but with some characteristic human smells. a 3rd and now the smells are different. the researchers are assembling a menu to isolate the most irresistible wits we after the developing place, invented chromebooks, for example. you cannot sell the price of them for example. so that they, they like to a specific truck and then buy some of them so that. ready reduce the biting, all of this uh, picked us up on too much. although the battle against malaria is waged across many fronts. this could help us understand why and how malaria carrying mosquitoes find us in the night. the more you understand the enemy, the best i could do uh, in fighting the enemy. so it is very, very, i don't know what 20 years, but it's very exciting. calling baker alger 0. alright, i'm on this 10 avenue stories on our website at down to 0, dot com coming up next. it's inside story looking at the call some warm
10:29 am
the it is true that many tribes are ended by a flood. this is just speed and extreme. all these clad circulars, randall's nifty, which is where the letter is sitting has produced. yes, more fun things. i'm sure you're aware. couple of shots taken from lou go yesterday to shows the extent of it. this is an awful lot of right default in a short period that is moving slowly west. so during several days the risk goes away from the northeast and it's the in fact the sun's been drawing back trust the balkans. we saw some funding after rolling bits of trojan balls me, but up into the warm sunshine that unless the tribune is tumbled, that noisily piece has come back again, just to annoy. so during stuff day then the main risk of heavy rain is going to be still very mislead northwest, maybe the south of france then down through the west and south mediterranean
10:30 am
noticeable investment funds come yet make it nice of woman pilot and gym. the example, despite the card which tends to disperse, to some degree on somebody's getting, is it 24 degrees? real nice, but this is to potentially flood territory which just catches the north of algae or into nicea and folks in sicily and quite possibly in stockton. yeah, north africa course, you know, what's going on around that for those and pull pop drawing. when was it so sense storm seemed likely in weston egypt. the cultivating food is the foundation of human civilization. but food today is a global commodity. if the industry did not make money, how many people would be and how it's cultivated, the contentious debates, public interest and the public safety is definitely not taking precedence and in depth examination into i agree business and the conflicting interests play industry
