the who's this is dw, live from berlin, g 7 leaders a meet in the u. k for their 1st in person talk in 2 years earlier, they were joined by queen elizabeth as the evening focused on the urgent need to tackle the climate crisis. pandemic as the other major issue with leaders pledging to donate a 1000000000 coven vaccine doses to coordination. also coming up on the show has germany and green parties run out of steam. not long ago, the greens were leading the polls, but with just 3 months until national election,

they are listening grounds. we look at what's gone wrong. ah. they were before they were protest years now they're in exile because they had the courage to resist the bell roof in regime of alexandra christian. so we take a look at a new documentary premier at the berlin film festival. ah . hello, i'm claire richardson, a very warm welcome to the show. leaders from the world 7 a wealthiest countries are meeting for the g 7 summit hosted by british prime minister orest johnson. some is being held in cornwall, england, and it marks the g 7 leaders. first in person talks in nearly 2 years. they are

expected to cover a range of topics where they focused on the krona virus pandemic and the climate crisis. these global leaders are taking center stage this weekend. it's the 1st time they're all together. since the start of the pandemic and introductions are marked by l bumps and social distancing this year, host by johnson initiated the g 7 talks with a welcome speech that focused on recovery. they wanted to be sure that we're beating the pandemic together and discussing how we'll never have a repeat of what we seen. but it will say that we're building back better together and, and building that greener and building, met sarah, and building that more equal and more in a more gender neutral and more feminine way. how about that?

in order to aid global recovery from the pandemic, the leaders are expected to pledge 1000000000 vaccine doses to the world's poorest countries. they say a joint approach is the best way to both rebuild and tackle the climate crisis because of the, the but all we need everyone across the world to want to work together, especially on the issue of climate protection and biodiversity, where we will never find solutions with that and china, but when it comes to the environment, climate activists are concerned that it's all talk. hundreds of protesters gathered in cornwell, calling on leaders to take action. so we've got a situation post code it with developing countries drowning in debt as a result of cuz it's failing to get vaccines and failing to get the climate finance . they need to help them mitigate their emissions and adapt to the climate crisis.

so it's a situation of staggering inequity, and we feel that this needs to be brought to the attention of the g 7 leaders. they want to make sure that the g 7, don't forget the climate crisis. well grappling with the panoramic recovery called the day the weekends talks will focus on how countries you can join forces to confront such challenges. and i've now joined by dw correspondence, berrigan math, who is reporting for as a from carver's bay where the g 7 is taking place. very good. this may well be the leaders last chance to make a real difference on climate change. do you expect any major commitments from the g 7 leaders? well, it is definitely something that the many campaigners who have descended onto this beautiful part of the world in the southwest corner of the united kingdom is what they are demanding. it comes at a day when the international energy agency has said that oil demand next

year is expected to exceed the pre. ready pen demik demand stage, we know that this is an ongoing crisis and one issue that lead as needed as cos is for example, the issue of climate finance. so helping developing countries do something to reduce their own emission. so that's going to cost money. so this is some that this might have to discuss at the summit. now the other major point that we know is going to be on the table is the corona virus pandemic. so what about cove it at the vaccine distribution? are you expecting to see any agreements this weekend there were expecting the announcing a plan for vaccine donation. however, we also knew the campaign again, saying that this is not fast enough and it doesn't go far enough. for example, the prime minister form of prime minister of the u. k. gordon brown is urging the

lead to again propose a package of this would include facilities for developing countries, immersion economies to produce their own vaccine, possibly ways the property rights of patents for vaccines. so something that goes much further than simply the native vaccines. thank you very when you think security is tight there behind you for the meetings of world leaders. and it was all smiles in their family photo together. but i'm wondering, do you think we are going to see disagreements when it comes to the actual meetings? well, we know that the 70 all, all united in wanting to make this psalm with a success, they want to show that multilateralism is back on the agenda. that democracy is attractive model for society. say want to show that to the world. however, the messages that they might need to bring home to their own electra,

they might be quite tough. so for example, vaccines, if they all do vaccines to all the countries, that means that for example, booster shots that might not be available for people back home. so that might be a tough message. also, climate change, it might mean that they are having to add people to change their life does say they are not. it's really quite a lot. well, they are discussing quite a lot huge problems that they are facing through these messages back home. might not be so easy. right. details these big math. thank you so much for your reporting and now it, let's bring in doctor iowa day, alex in boucher and go deeper into the issues of g 7 countries donating those vaccines, which is co chair of the african vaccine and delivery alliance. and the former chief humanitarian coordinator for nigeria. dr. keisha, thank you so much for joining us on the show. the g 7 countries are expected to

announce a plan to donate around a 1000000000 vaccine doses. the countries that are struggling to get supplies. how does this measure up to the kind of response that you were hoping to see? want to see what the need is around the wow. the dates are talking about a 1000000000. i don't, i don't like the what names, because this is not a global girl. you know, you know, well where we need over 10000000, just w h as in cat right now. well the truck, it's a great job, but i would encourage them to expand their ambitions and all the trick it's not just showing sharing technology waiting intellectual.

i'm also looking at a global plan because you can't have that without being able to get them into people on we need jobs and all that were not just to africa, but for the entire world. asia, latin america, explanation and financing allocation. i do want to ask you about that. we lost the line audio just for a moment there by understand, it sounds like you agree that patent should be lifted to enable more countries to produce vaccines at home. what are your thoughts on that? i p g. i should be to be way more frankly, how do we got the right thing? and the rich hunger countries of the world, the right thing to the beginning of the thing. it wouldn't be under the pressure it allow countries to producer and vaccine fil finish, manufacture whatever you can, if that hadn't been holding back wouldn't now be in the desperate situation very

well when i come to the wild again, not just in india, but also part of africa, asia, and south asia within a month wage. these intellectual property property like we have transferred over technology so that all the while you know, asia and latin america everywhere africa, people come producer back and not be so reliant on one or 2. and what would you say to critics who say that waving patents, remove the incentive for firms to develop them so quickly when we do have a global pandemic? i think what essential, quite horrible, right now. what the g 7 spoke about, the price of the tool was coded in trying to change all the pain points. you know, one central quite right now today people in that 1000 over the world and the other

ones make this central choir for tomorrow. we can be thinking about profit for their time when people die and barter coming back bigger and stronger, all the time in different corners as well. but down to very an india, it's not again, you know, really ramping up in countries like the united kingdom. and yeah, i was seeing that also for go with about team members of the union. yes. this week, racing towards the way, you know, we're seeing a 26 in number in some countries such as cheap holiday in the last few weeks. but the people in leadership, in government, all the time talking we need to make sure that we have a life. but before we talk about making dr. iowa day, alex, you know, boucher, thank you for giving a sense of the urgency of this crisis for joining us on detail the union.

let's turn our attention now to the other stories that are making headlines at this hour. hundreds of israeli and palestinian activists have demonstrated against the possible eviction of palestinians in eastern gibbons below. the neighborhood has been the scene of frequent classes over a court case in which a group of hard line israeli settlers seek to have arab families removed from their homes. the german finance minister schultz has reportedly paid $2000000.00 euros to get information on suspected tax dodgers. news magazine dash b says his administrators thought data on several thousands. germans with real estate interest in due by the information could expose significant tax crimes and vote counting has wrapped up in peruse. presidential election authorities have not yet declared a winner. they say the race between less hydro castillo and conservative keiko would you more? it is too close to call for more claims. there were voting irregularities,

but independent observers will the united nations and a groups are warning 350000 people in ethiopia as war torn t r i region are facing famine conditions. you and also says millions more are in urgent need of food and assistance. a don mu as should be an active 14 year old. but he struggled to breathe. for months, a don and his uncle lived in a cave hiding from the wall raging around their home in t gray. but without enough food, they were still in danger. by much done had grown so weak, his uncle brought him to the hospital. the model was to be very strong as strong as a lion. he was hoping to grow up and have a good life, but hunger has left him where he is. now. i'm the son of a don is an early warning of what the u. n. is now calling a catastrophic food shortage. and it is expected to get was very,

very worried that there are indications that we have the worst phase phase 5, affecting 353000 people in te gray. does that numbers expect to derive beyond 400000 over the next few months? if we don't get the access that we need to reach, reach those areas the while the fighting has eased, some parts of t gray remain cut off. mass displacement across the region has left more than a 1000000 homeless and hungry. without more age, does humanitarian crisis can only get worse. hidden from the rest of the world. and here in berlin, members of germany, greens, have opened to their 3 day party conference. the angel formerly endorse analysts bareback as their candidate for chancellor in september is national elections has

comes after a recent poll showed a draw in popularity for the environmentalist party. the greens had made a major games after box nomination. back in april, the several blenders by some members have set the party back in its quest to provide a successor to the outgoing conservative chancellor. i'm going back and let's get straight over to d, w. chief political editor, michelle christner, and she joins us now from the party conference of the green party in berlin. we show a considerable drop in popularity for the green party. what went wrong? well they have some small scandal surrounding christmas bonuses that was reported to parliament. also the cv of anti bad book was not quite correct. she had to correct, she had to apologize in all of this followed what was rather tremendous where there was no drama drama. lord of her role as the chance the candidate. now

only a few weeks later we seen a shop drop both in the polling down 6 percent with mack of conservative c d u union. now, once again in poll position ahead of the september elections and not enough that box itself last last a whopping 15 points in popularity, racing. so there was a lot to make up for here, and there will be over the next 20. well, 48 hours. and there's still is a fair bit of time until the national elections in this september. do you think the green party can bounce back from this? well, that's the leaning question here. just under 4 months is a very long time in politics. we've learned that over the past weeks as well. and, and i'd say so far so good. there were some verbals within the party wanted an earlier exit for the combustion engine here. and initially propose that was struck

down by the delegates who voted murphy, virtually and also see to price is not higher than the 60 years proposed. so, so far the delegates, a towing the leadership line, and that's exactly what the green needs to demonstrate. now that they can also so a picture of unity that they can unify behind another book and that they have this absolute will to power to eventually potentially come on top. having said that, it was also the weeks of i'm going to america conservative doc that made the green so strong in those last week. so we're up for a couple of very interesting months here in germany. indeed, over at who gets to succeed, i got a medical. michelle, a cough no dw chief political editor reporting for us from the party conference at the green. thank you so much. well,

this is the 1st time the greens have ever made. a bid for germany's top political post and it shows just how far they've come from protest party to a force that can be reckoned with. c w k. radio reports on the green parties. evolution yana sakes and michelle comma are both members of germany's green party, which is come a long way since it was founded in 1980 the ivana thrill is we so ourselves is the party for democracy and environmental protection. both of those played an important role and above all, we were disappointed by the whole party politics. we were of course, an outsider and we fought against the establishment. and when we were founded, of course, we had joined the party man and woman on the candidate lead. later we were a parliamentary party that was half men and half women. at the time it was unthinkable. things in 1983, the 1st green m p 's voted into the bonus tag and were a provocative force in parliament. 2 years later, york official cost

a scandal by wearing sneakers to his inauguration as the 1st green environment minister in the state of hassan. comma himself, was elected to berlin's house of representatives in 1989 of long hair long dance. and of course, it was completely out of the question to sit at the table in the canteen with one of the conservative in 1998. the greens became the junior coalition partner to get had shared the social democrats in the federal government. the party nearly split when you're official, by that point german foreign minister back to the involvement of german troops in kosovo. at the 1999 party conference, fisher was painful and for some in the party he had betrayed the green cor non violent principles. one of the green biggest victories was the coalitions decision to phase out nuclear energy. the party tasted success again in 2011 when vincent aid such men became the 1st green state premier in the long time. conservative states of bottom vert back. and they got

a boost in the polls. when the fridays for future climate protection movement 1st took to the streets in 2019 team out the fact that issues like climate protection and also feminism for exam has become more of a focus is for the large part thanks to the younger generation was entire and i've had them giving up since 2018. anna lynn, a bad buck and a whole, but how back to started to hear many of the wounds in the party between the ilo really and fundy fundamentalist wings. now the green's a part of regional coalition government in 11 of germany, 16 states i said outside the tampa. i'd also say the fact that the greens had these while he is in the early days is important for the greens today. the fact they have this history after september's election, they'll be a new chapter to that history. perhaps even in the chancellor, re you are watching the w news still become part of the thing or

rather our full sense of smell for a life they think task in cambodia. the tuesday tune for that now as the european union and the u. s. discuss further sanctions against the government of bella. ruth and your documentary looks at the peaceful resistance to alexander lucas sion goes regime. the film is premier this evening at the berlin film festival in the presence of exiled opposition leader, scotland taken off square. it focuses on the lives of 3 actors and is called simply courage scenes of peaceful protest. and bella ross, last summer caught in the documentary courage. today they look like images from another era. the turn follows 3 actors turned protested dennis puzzle. marina. last summer, they were full of hope for change. now all 3 live in exxon.

a dollar of seems impossible at the moment. but police believes his country need to artists now move or never it's a to try to help people to or can their fear or what can their trauma really depression trauma and to say, please not lose a hope. and the exiled bella rooftop or physician leaders, the atlanta tech, a novice guy, was also at the premier of this documentary courage. when asked how she felt about the support she is receiving from the people of ella. ruth, she had best to say, you know, at the moment time in the dial. in other contra though, i really don't feel the time because i'm only 30 kilometers from the border. and i have every day communication with people who are on the crown with students with workers, medics, sportsmen just to feel them to inspire we by child the code in

mission against land mines. these giant pouch threats have travelled a long way from tens, nea, where they were trained to cambodia where they're getting to work. clearing land mines is dangerous and arduous, but a job that takes humans with metal detectors several days to complete. a rat can do in a matter of minutes. be the bone like you. before we work with the rats, we didn't know how important that job on the jolly, but once i work with them, i realize that the rats a wonderful animal because at the center smell, which surpasses that of human human know, could you let they give us 100 percent accurate results from every performance. so they want my high middle p, huge sways of explosive riddled land remained off limits in cambodia. now this patch can be put to use by local rice farmers. thanks to the de mining rats. they are trained to scratch the ground when they smell explosives,

like this hidden menace, waiting to kill or maim. some of the roads have found fame. this one's an award winning hero. maga has detected over 100 land mines and bombs. now he's retreated to a road into retirement. home. life is not much difference from the living area. so the only difference is that a lot even off the job might go. i still keeps busy using his nose. i say that right deserve that trait for a job. very well done, but before we go, let's get a quick reminder of our top story. world leaders have kicked off the g 7 summit in cornwall, england's finding the pandemic and climate change are the main topic of the 3 day meeting. the g 7 has already pledged to provide 1000000000 joseph cove in 1900
