a monkeys from then on the jews were considered servants of evil. we simply told you about the most atrocious chapter. within 6 years, a 3rd of our people were exterminating 6000000 jews. like microbes to be annihilated cult oh, even 77 years after the holocaust hatred towards jews is still pervasive. the history of antisemitism starts july 2nd on d w. oh, you're watching d. w. news asia coming up today. leaders of the g 7 meet this weekend and invite the special guests, including prime minister nor render modi of india. what do they want from him? we take a closer look. and the one year anniversary of the closure of hong kong pro democracy paper, apple daily. what's the status of press freedom in the territory today?

ah, i and melissa chan, thanks for joining us. we have covered a lot of summit, slightly the meeting of different countries. last month it was the quad with australia, india, japan, and the u. s. this week, china hosted the annual brick summit and starting this weekend and a german alpine resort of elm out leaders of the g 7 will meet. they've invited extra guests to participate, including indian prime minister modi, underscoring the country's growing geostrategic role in the world. here at dw, we've been working on a series looking at india's rise. it's called india's dilemma and you'll find it on our d. w. news you to page. here's a quick look. india find itself in

a dramatic geopolitical squeeze. russia, it's old friend, an om supply is deepening ties with china. we can buy the war and becoming subservient to a power. that's no friend to india. there are serious concerns in your daily about whether russia will continue to be a reliable supplier. at the same time, china's threat to india becomes ever more apparent, compelling india to reinforce his borders against attempts to take its territory. so chinese are breathing down our borders and the dust killed also just went less than 2 years ago. and jelly faces deep die lemons over how close to get to the west . the u. s. has had many, many lances. not all of them have fared really well. india has a long tradition of avoiding close alliances and preferring to stay non aligned.

but the war is forcing it to think again about all of its relationships and face up to some choices it hasn't had to make before. in part, one of this video will look at how durable india is old friendship with russia really is. and whether it can survive moscow's new path, the russia relationship is now in a position where it really does me to re thought in part to. we'll see how tensions between india and china a far more dangerous than the rest of the world. realize. think about this, beijing even says that it should control an entire indian state off to russia's invasion of ukraine. it's all too easy to imagine. a devastating war. forgetting about a phrase big sectional be world a very important part of the world. a very large army of nuclear countries of i

think, fighting each other. and in part 3 will ask where the india and the west can really come together. or if that ultimate be heading in very different directions, winton attacked us. read was this degree of outreach from europe or from other countries. india's come included with russia and china far more than it resembles western democracies. so as the world and says, this dangerous new era, india could be the deciding factor. so no matter where you are in the world, the choice is made here in delhi masses. be sure to go online and catch the full series, and we have richard walker, chief international edgar and the series correspondent with us. richard, let's talk about india and his upcoming g 7 summit. and i want to start by playing a clip from u. s. president joe biden. i think that the relationship between india and the united states, the largest democracies in the world,

is destined to be stronger, closer, tighter. and i think you can benefit the all right, and then i want to play a clip from sha sheet. the roar indian parliamentarian and former diplomat would i want to india to publicly declares if an ally of a country, i'm not even sure i'm ready to bite that bullet because the wood alliance implies to some degree, a mortgaging of your freedom to make your own decisions. so it sounds like the 2 countries are talking past each other. yeah, it can sometimes seem like that, melissa, i mean, you certainly get a strong sense from the americans. and on my recent trip to delhi, i got this very strongly that they would like to tie india closer into the kind of western lead sort of what they see is the alliance kind of liberal democracies. you know, which is really sort girding up for this sort of pushback against the autocracies

of china and russia. and you do often get the sense that india is sort of going along with it to some extent, but playing a almost like hard to get in some ways. and there are historical reasons for that that india has this very long history. since independence of non alignment, not wanting to throw all of its eggs in one basket or with any one country. so try to sort of stress and what that kind of language they talk about now is we're wanting like it the well to be multi polar that they don't want to kind of get dragged into a sort of new cold war sort of scenario. but the american certainly tried to coax them in with, you know, formats like the quad regional grouping in asia with the americans, with japan, with australia and india, trying to sort of say, india, you're a big democracy, you belong with us. okay, so they're part of the choir, but in terms of russia, they'll how to what extent will the leaders of the g 7 be able to convince india to reorient it's policy? does any, it has been under a lot of pressure already, or to try to put some distance between itself and russia over the,

the war that russia's law in ukraine, an india has really pretty steady. all right, from the beginning being clear that we're trying to take what they see is of kind of principles independent position of saying that they do, they call for a cease fire that they condemn violence, but not really coming out. and really, really making a break with russia, for instance, of the united nations in the united nations security council just after the war began. they famously or did not vote against the russian, the state they abstain. and it didn't a message back on russia to some extent to the quest is sort of just don't lecture us. and there are various different angles to that. partly, you know, people will say, well, it's the west that's been starting was in the last 20 years. what do you lecturing us about, do what's so different about this one? also on energy or with western countries, trying to tell india don't start buying russian energy while we're trying to,

to sanction it. and they did say, well, we have a very poor population. we our to our population to get energy as cheaply as we 10 . and there are some criticisms that actually, or observations that india is actually much more closer, politically higher with russia and china. yeah, well this is the other side of the story because on the one hand, the west is very keen to bind india closer. on the other hand, they're concerned about what's happening in india, about the illiberal direction, the indian and democracy is moving in. and we spoke to some critical voices, also as part of this film while we were in india. and maybe we can chew up a sound bite from hutch or sing ball his, the political editor of a prominent, or kind of intellectual news magazine that in the us coming killers and will rush and china far more than it resembles western democracies. so the risk will have to be with this country through very hard moved means rather than by thinking that this common shade value constitutional democracy is going to pull india into our

script. that is not yes. so what, how to sing ball is saying there is that this, this idea of the west that he's trying to appeal to india to join this kind of democratic pushback of sort on values basis against china and russia. that that's not going to work because india is maybe not moving in, in this kind of liberal direction. the, that india has for instances, very severe criticism of india's treatment of his most minority now and other concerns about the direction the indian democracy is taking. so very interesting to see how this dynamic between india and the west plays out. richard walker. thank you so much for joining us in the studio. ah, exactly one year ago, the last edition of hancock's apple daily hit new stance. the pro democracy papers shut down following the arrest of top editors and the freezing of its assets. other

newsrooms quickly folded and today there is little press freedom left in hong kong, but journalists can be stubborn people. as d w 's, phoebe con reports risky business, jackie, is a journalist and is out reporting at at the anniversary of the tournament square massacre, beatings, brutal, crack done on student protests in 1989 hollow y. oh hello. can i ask you a few questions? yeah, i'll show you some news pictures and see if you know what they are. yeah, well, it, jackie shows them photos from the day of the massacre. images like these are censored in china. yup. how do you know where these images were taken? victoria park. but jackie's reporting is soon cut short a rare occurrence in his experience. okay. oh oh, excuse me, under teacher, what are you doing here? oh, how do i send you a telephone interview in the mail? louisa homeowner to that, sorry, you should speak to the school 1st. we too are asked to stop filming. the teacher

says a sensitive interview could put the school under pressure from an hong gave high the room for news reporting and shrinking. it's not only because of the authorities, but also because of society. defect is chilling and there's a sense of terror, which is making it harder to find people willing to speak up a while her going yale jackie runs his own news platform until a few months ago. he worked for citizen news and award winning media outlet. it shut down due to political pressure. journalism is not well paid in hong kong, but jackie publishes his reports for free. he wants them to reach as many people as possible, especially as censorship grows. go to whole thing. data nowadays in hong kong, journalists face arrest and then detention once we cross the red line, there's no more gray area. that's also why i choose to work alone. so i won't implicate others of all the high side. it is hung all

since the introduction of the beijing imposed national security law. hong kong ranking in the world press freedom index has plummeted from number 68 to 148. the likes of apple daily. the cities leading opposition newspaper shut down with its executives and chief editors detained. at least a dozen media platforms collapsed in the following year. putting hundreds of reporters out of work. jackie's report on the tian him in square massacre anniversary has achieved the highest numbers since he launched his platform. but it is a double edged sword. one commenter said he had reported the video to the national security police. oh, shall we're as ingle, literally a whole independent journalist to compensate by filling in the blanks i. we have to try because if you don't try that space will disappear level yes, we take a lot of risks and stress and that makes the future look doomed. but hong kong journalists are resilient, the what i can still see are vibrancy. yell yeah. iowa. maybe we just need to

transform the industry the world. hi. go sold, how you get to it. being all an uphill battle, perhaps as more media regulations are pending. but for now, jackie won't give up reporting that set for friday as always check us out online at d. w dot com, forward slash asia or on social media. thanks for watching and have a good weekend with people and trucks injured when trying to flee the city center. more and more refugees are being turned away at the border. families playing phone tags in syria to these credit owners with demonstrated people fleeing extreme ground.
