unix, famous octoberfest usually takes place today. however, it is the setting for a big anti g 7 protest. julia police warned that the demonstration, their immunity could end up in chaos. how tense is the situation? if at all it is quite relaxed right now, people are still arriving. and the visa, this area here is slowly filling up. there's a lot of different people, young people, older people. and it's quite a, an interesting mix of organizations that are taking part here. but until now it's been very peaceful. people are giving speeches, playing music, and there's not really much tension, although there is quite a strong police presence all around the perimeter here of the field where the, the reunion of the demonstrators is taking place. and there is a lot of police presence all around to the center of unix, so the police is a ready in case of a situation, were to, to change and become less peaceful and less relax. now the,

some it gets underway on sunday, but some world leaders are expected to arrive to day already. you say that as a huge, a police presence how the preparations going yeah, they're here in munich. there's obviously police ready to act in case of the protest today. but the actual g 7 summit is taking place around a 100 kilometers firm here near a town called gamut patton kitchen and the police presence there is also very heavy . there are blocks on the road to try to get their helicopters flying. so the preparations are ongoing, people are starting to arrive and the summit itself will kick off to morrow. and that's when the leaders will come together and begin a meeting in this castle. in the bavarian alps, a very exclusive and beautiful location. and just very briefly, julia, all those protest is expected to also move to garbage pot and cushing to that

location or will they stay put in munich? they're all ready. some protesters that are there in ga ms. patton kitchen. they have started building up a camp where they expect to camp out for the next few days during the summit. and there are protests already organized for the days to come there in gamez python kitchen. and there are a lot of people that are, are now in munich. we'll also move, took a town there to take part in the protests. there are julia, so deli, their reporting for us from the to reason is munich. thank you so much. and earlier we spoke to louisa neu bowers, she's a climate activists and a co founder of germany fridays for future chapter. we talked to her about the summit agenda and where the political leaders have lost flights of the climate emergency. honestly, i don't know what political lead us am i looking at and what not. but what it seems like from the outside is that obviously many of them don't want to or can not understand the emergency we're in. and that, that is, you know,

that things are connected. that's a war cub shield and finance by fossil fuels is part of the, of the big fire of fossil fuel destruction that is causing that is causing, you know, the distractions of a likelihood. and so reacting to fossil fuel with more fossil fuel issues doesn't make sense even on geopolitical level. so for the take of the world we inherited that is there for us to save the future. that is, you know, in the hands of the leaders right now and in our certainly we must stop playing out these crisis against each other and understanding that, that, that should be connected. last question, final question, because obviously we mentioned that there are protests preparing any way to go ahead what concrete decisions do you and the protest i want to see at the g 7 app. that's a really good question. so 1st of all, this, because i'm, it must be

a turn away from fossil fuels. this means sticking to the agreement that i've already been made and namely ending for and funding for fossil fuels, which all of shows is about to crack down, which would be devastating. it must include committing to a call exit and 2030, which is 70 does. must decide on the summit and of course at math include actually, you know, consequent and honest commitments fall off and damage financing the goal of the south. and of course, talking about ending the depth of the globe. this house to actually yeah. make proper and on this collaboration on a global level possible, loosen with one of the founders of germany fridays for future climate movement. thank you so very much. thank you. while for germany, the summit will mark the high point of its turn at the helm of the rotating g 7 presidency. the group includes the most advanced economies that the united states, canada, the united kingdom, france, germany,

and italy as well as japan. their home to 10 percent of the world's population, but account for a 3rd of global economic output. this meeting will be dominated by a daunting set of crisis, with russia's war and ukraine and to climate change talking the agenda. but as dw richard walker reports, these issues are nothing new for the g 7. germany's baltic, sea coast, 2007. angela mac or hosting. one of the 1st major summits of her career is chancellor. it's name the g 8. that's right back then it was still the g 8, a group of 7 rich liberal democracies plus russia also on board. vladimir putin was there and some of the photos even made it look quite friendly. seen from to day, it looks like a parallel universe. and yet all was not well. brewton was angry about us

plans for a missile defense system. would it be just a year later he would invade georgia greeted him should the other challenges were mounting tooth. the g 8 promised to tackle climate change, or at least it sort of did. in this final declaration, it promised to consider cutting emissions by half by 2050, fast forward to 2015 and this time michael hosted in the mountains. the g 8 was now the g 7. again, putin was gone, the group threw him out over the annexation of crimea. this became the signature image. he had suggested a meeting of minds in a group now coming closer together without the russians around. and yet russia loomed over things. as the final declaration made clear, it condemned the annexation of crimea and said that russia must respect ukraine's sovereignty. and there was a growing sense of time running out on climate change with calls for urgent and

concrete action. fast forward again to to day and rush was warren, ukraine will totally dominate this year's summit. a war destabilizing europe, and potentially the whole world. the g 7 will try to underscore west and unity in the face of all of this. and it will also try to tackle some of the fall out of the war like the food crisis and the energy crunch. and with forest fires already hitting near berlin this year. the climate crisis will be back on the agenda again . the new german chancellor olive schoultz will use his debut as host to push a plan called the climate club that he says could make a difference of it. so looking back again at those photos from 2007, they may seem like they're from a parallel universe. but when you think about it, the challenges of then have become the crises of now. we'll have to see if sholtes

and his fellow g 7 leaders can do anything meaningful about them. let's take a quick look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. the organizers of the oslo pride festival have canceled their parade and all other events of the shooting at a gay bar and nightclub in the end of each and capital. at least 2 people were killed. police are treating the incidents as a terrorist attack. a suspect was arrested at the scene. thousands are without food and water in india after monsoon flooding, devastated parts of eastern asam stayed unusually heavy, rain submerged dozens of towns and villages. authority say 5000000 people have been displaced. the flood water is hampering efforts to get aid to people in need. protests have been taking place across the united states after the supreme court ended 50 years of federal abortion rights. in a 6 to 3 ruling,

the court overturned the landmark 1973 roe vs wade decision that enshrined a woman's right to an abortion. you estates now have the power to set their own abortion laws. morocco says 18 people died in an attempted mass crossing from its territory into the north african spanish enclave of melia. around 2000 migrants tried to breach the border. melia is a popular crossing point for migrants from sub saharan africa trying to get into europe. and to the war in eastern europe, ukrainian troops are retreating from the eastern city of a several don. yet after weeks of fierce fighting against invading russian forces, original officials said, ukraine's units would move to stronger positions. recent days have seen russia make significant gains around the strategic eastern city. russia is trying to encircle ukrainian forces and sees the entire don pass region. local ukrainian officials say the fighting is intensifying and nowhere in the east

a safe anymore for residence. so is the withdrawal from a several don yet an admission of defeat? earlier i put that question to our correspondent key of nick connelly. i think it's definitely an acceptance that 70 minutes was not a city that ukraine could hold on to with acceptable losses for any longer. this quite stormy there how long ukraine has stayed in control. the city experts been talking about the city being taken by the russians for basically the best part a month now and the ukrainians just kept on holding on, kept on forcing the russians to basically lose huge numbers of soldiers to invest a huge amount of firepower pulling away or weapons and resources from other parts of the front lines just to gain a couple of streets at a time. and now in a situation where, so this is basically the only ukranian stronghold on the northern side of that 70 kids on its river, where the bridges behind them have been blown up. ukraine has now said that they

are going to try and pull people out how they're going to get them out without bridges, without a situation where they're upon tunes. we don't know, but that seems to be the plan now. and yeah, it's a blow. but i think it's a situation where you created, basically tried to do the same as it did with mary paul to turn this into a pyrrhic victory for the russians. a hollow victory where they basically invested more resources than that city is worth. but they obviously are desperate for some kind of victory, some kind of game because of rule. now in our 5th month of war, the russians have pretty little to show, given the huge resources and given a huge, a security in fire power to show for all their efforts on it. do we know where the new positions of the ukrainian forces are a will be? so the expectation have been the durability chance, which is basically 70 units sits sister city. just on the other side, the river bank which has kind of a geography topography that would make it easier to defend. you've got high river banks and lots of ways to basically shoot people trying to get across that river.

but we have seen now in recent days, the russians trying to come at least a chance from the other side, from the south in a way that would avoid them having to cross that river. in the past, we've seen the ukrainians when inflicting huge damage on russian attempts to cross that river in other places. so a sense that maybe the ukraine's will have to draw back a little further. but if you just zoom out and look at the bigger picture, these are still pretty small movements over a much bigger front line. the ukrainians are facing off against the russians over basic 2000 and slumped is of territory. and overall, ukraine is still in control of a big chunk of don bass. it lost most of the ground in the 1st weeks of the war when it was basically overwhelmed, swamped with the tax all across the country. and now in recent weeks, those movements really haven't been that big. so yes, it is at tactical withdrawal. but in the big picture, ukraine is still holding on to its main centers main cities in that part of the country and is basically trying to minimize its losses. now, unlike the russians where we've seen pretty significant willingness to do pretty

risky, military maneuvers that have cost, the russian soldiers looked flight i. d. w is next connelly their reporting friend, kia, thank you so much. and as a reminder, at the top story we're following for you. security is tied in the german state of bavaria ahead of a summit of g 7 meters, thousands of protesters a gathering to demand more action against climate change and global poverty. in washington news, i want to get jones for me and the team in berlin. thanks for watching the resurrection of jesus christ in obama go bavaria. the world's largest passion play is back. every 10 years visitors come from all over the world to see the staging of the biblical story.
