lawrence. this is d.w. news live from the g 7 leaders meeting in the french town of beer it's split on how to deal with iran the leaders of the g. 7 nations have had a full day of bilateral meetings in talks with african leaders but a surprise visit by iran's foreign minister overshadowed the proceedings also coming up. violence on the streets of hong kong at least hold back gongs on pro-democracy protesters in far at least one live shot before he sent in water cannon for the 1st time since the protests began.

i'm having a home free thanks for joining me while the leaders at the g. 7 summit have spent the day grappling with everything from forest fires in the amazon to fighting terrorism in africa but they remain divided on international trade and putting a stop to wrongs nuclear program all the leaders of the walls wealthiest nations wrapped up with a family photo after a day of bilateral meetings and talks in the air it's in france now the day was also marked by a surprise visit from iran's foreign minister mohammad a job a very few he met his french counterpart and held talks with french president a man who had a backhoe on the sidelines of the summit the white house said it was not informed that he'd been invited. and chorus want to gag matters joins us now from the

summit iran's foreign minister has now left we understand what do we know about how his visit went. french officials here said they had positive discussions and we know from german chancellor angela merkel that serif was invited on a french initiative but in light off the deposit of discussions that leaders had last night here a over dinner everyone agreed that the tensions with iran should be east and that message was passed on to the iranian foreign minister prison my comment up with him even before the summit they met met again today and the iranian foreign minister himself concluded that it's a tough road ahead but it's worth a try ok ok how realistic is it that nikon's efforts to deescalate the situation will walk it's been of course a surprise move here by my call but it's

a way if you want a smart move to show the president of the united states that dialogue is possible that you can talk to the iranians it is a right has been a so far of the closest step to resolve this this diplomatic deadlock ever since the u.s. walked away from the iran nuclear accord and the 1st full day of the summit is wrapping up as it didn't receive and one of the main takeaways from today. well let's start with world trade what is something the g 7 is particularly known for there was a moment of hope here really one president on the trump talked about 2nd thoughts and regrets looking at the escalation of the relations with china but then the white house corrected it and said it was a misinterpretation actually what the president meant was let's say to poor

a more oil into the fire rather than less so slap tougher sanctions on china bad news for the other 6 member states heads of state here at the she 7 table bad news also for boris johnson who had to acknowledge today that the prospect of a cracks a deal was touch and go and so the only really tangible result that came out was a new deal on the hill. 5 states in africa will get money and training for military forces in order to fight terrorism and in a way that is why my call has put this on the agenda knowing that there is so such such big rifts on the big topics of trade on that on iran that he broadens the agenda to an extent that some positive news will come out and those positive news are today that this that particularly germany and france are ramping up their security efforts in africa. matters for us in paris thanks don.

and let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the walls thousands over hedge refugees rallied in cox's bizarre in bangladesh to mock 2 years since meanwhile on food his crackdown on the population more than 730000 range were displaced from me and ma into neighboring bangladesh and have been unable to return at the rally the mostly men and children who attended prayed and chanted we want to go home. germany's president. has officially are asked italy for forgiveness for war crimes committed in nov and tuscany in 1944 soldiers of the nazi regime who brutally murdered about 400 people in the village of it 75 years ago at a commemoration ceremony shimei spoke out against nationalism and racism. in greece 2 people have been arrested in the south of the country on suspicion of

starting wildfires one of them is accused of having done stunts so 3 times hot dry windy weather has helped fuel the fires across the country almost 700 firefighters have been deployed in the past 24 hours. now violence has fled in hong kong once again off to pro-democracy activists took to the streets for a 12th straight weekend of protest started at the beginning of the summer when hong kong's chief executive proposed a controversial controversial extradition bill rather that was later shelved but has since expanded to demand hong kong's independence from china for the 1st time since protests broke out a gunshot was fired. on the barricades wearing hard hats and gas mosques the protesters held rocks and bricks at riot police the offices responded with rounds of tear gas. the clashes continued into

the evening protesters attacked the police with rods and sticks. the demonstrates his chase the officers down the street calling them gangsters and then this. sounds like a gun shot a local t.v. station said it's recalled to store a uniformed police officer fire shots in the air i was i was we had thing a low in violence like this on the streets of hong kong up until this weekend this time last week protests organizers say 1700000 people marched peacefully through the streets of hong kong this weekend withing a very different atmosphere. protests to say they changed tactics because they felt the government was not listening. to the people beat the people we did their very peaceful protests by the government this will be small and that's why we

go to go on the street there and maybe some police. thing that we brought the road that's why the border by that to you guys and i and i just want. to know or. bearing grease yeah. it seems the police are also changing tactics in response for the 1st time who's the cannons rolled through the streets threatening to drench the protesters who are. now the police have arrested more than 700 people since protests began in june more protests as a risking arrest to make their voices heard. now one reason protesters took to the series of hong kong this weekend was that mistrust of a new style of lampposts that sprung up across the city now these lampposts are equipped with surveillance technology and nets to have links to chinese tech phones and on saturday protest is used an electric saw to cut through at least one lamp

post and bring it to the ground over fears that it was a quip. with facial recognition cameras that could be used by law enforcement the hong kong government said that the 50 so-called smart lightning holes were put in place to collect data on traffic and weather but many worry that the government is not telling the whole truth. and our reporter on the end he said has been looking into the control the see surrounding these lampposts for us i mean protest us think that the government is using these posts to spy on people what evidence do they have well there was controversy surrounding these lamppost when they were 1st introduced in the spring because they're actually full of data collecting technology that's their purpose the government says that the technology is only being used to track traffic pollution whether things like this but the protesters obviously don't trust them especially in a time right now and beijing for example is very interested in who are out there on the streets so when they cut down this poll as we saw earlier live physically taking it right to the ground they were able to break open the casement there and

look what's inside there and have a look but get their hands on and see for themselves and what they did there's nothing super surprising that the government had said was in there but they were able to take pictures and post it online which has created a lot of speculation about what these devices actually are what their function is one of the devices that caused the most controversy was actually a big locator you can see it here right now it's a device that allows the system to track bluetooth devices so if you are walking by you have your cell phone on and your bluetooth is turned on then the lamppost would know that you're there and you could recognize it yeah it could even possibly see that it's your phone and identify you which is easier than facial recognition technology actually and after it was put on line people speculated that the company that made it to tech tech actually has links to showing shanghai based company which would be mainland china and this is alleged anyway and have we heard any

response from the hong kong government that well the hong kong government maintains as they had before that none of the. technology is being used to identify protesters i think like this they have the technology in there but they said they've restricted it but actually now that these devices have created controversy online they actually issued a statement about this b o u locator saying that the allegations that it was linked to a mainland china technology company are false that the company is local small enterprise based in hong kong from from hong kong has and the means they're implying that the data is not going to be sent to beijing for further analysis i'm simply for that i suppose the question is is there actually any evidence that the hong kong government may be hiding something well that's not so different from what you might find in new york city or even in berlin but it depends on how much you trust the hong kong government as you can see right now that the protesters don't trust them at all times indeed thank you very much indeed thank you. well to sports news now anyone does need

a football mind smet glance back in again pitch 2 best friends against each other for the 1st time as coaches minds is on the go shots and glad backs marco rosa so close they went on holiday together this summer but for the 90 minutes at this match they went head to head into battle. the buddha's league his own version of a buddy movie played out his marco holzer took his charges to sound or shot says mines ahead of kick off it was all smiles between 2 former housemates who have known each other half their lives but on the pitch their players were old business had the 1st chance through marcus tour and spread their minds keep afloat was up to the task. and shortly after the hosts took the late daniel present ski's free kick found rubbing kweisi on the forward guided his head into the net to make it one nil in the 18th minute. first blood to shots early frustration for his old chum but with half an hour gone they were back on level terms after
