rock the ukrainian capital in the 1st a pair and russian attack on key. if in nearly 3 weeks the cities may assess, the blast shook a historic central district at the residential complex was on fire. we'll get the latest from our correspondence and ukraine's largest l. g. b t q rides event goes ahead in neighboring poland caves, pride parade was held in warsaw with organizes using it as a platform to keep international attention focused on ukraine's struggle. ah, i monica jones. welcome to the program. the annual g 7 summit is said to begin shortly, and the southern german state of bavaria leaders of the world's wealthiest nations will be trying to maintain a united and in their response to the fallout from russia's war in ukraine and

a looming global economic slowdown. u. s. presidential bite and hutch down in munich late saturday on his 1st trip to germany and taking office, you'll be joined by the premier sofa, france, britain, and japan, among others whom yorkie sheeta. the japanese prime minister flew in this morning. the 3 day talks are being held at the secluded alpine resort of el paso evermore. i'm joined now by d. w. brussels bureau chief, alexandra for norman, who to day is in bavaria to cover the summit of for us. alexandra, what can we expect today? while there before the summit officially starts the, the german chancellor locked shoulder is going to have a bilateral meeting with you as president. and of course they will talk with their we'll talk about a range of important issues. first and foremost,

how to hold flooding me put him accountable. and then when at the summit starts, the 1st topic on the agenda is so the global economy and according to experts, the situation there is bad and it is going to get worse even. and a leaders are expected to speak about rising inflation, energy prices, and the threat of recession. so ukraine suddenly taking center point of these are talk. so that is a given. do you think that i will have shorten us by and also in this a bilateral meeting that they will manage to jointly increase the pressure on russia? well, that is a goal that is certain here. they are meeting to make sure that her, the prices keep rising for vladimir putin so that it will be hard for him to

wage war. and of course, for the german chancellor, it is important that this g 7 meeting here. we'll send a strong signal of unity. however, when we look at the details, it's not going to be very easy for their leaders to be on one page. the u. s. is pushing force more sanctions on russia and are saying that there is a good chance that the leaders here will agree to impose more sanctions to ben russian gold sir exports. so we'll see whether every one is going to be on the same page. gold is of course a very important effort for the russian central bank bank. however, we also have to stress that the european union edge is imposed to new thank sions, on russia, including a phasing out of c, born russian oil deliveries. so there is not too much appetite for more sanctions, however, and they also said that of course,

the pressure and needs to be increased on the russian government. all right, so this the, the lateral meeting is going to really kick off the summit. what else is going to happen today? well, as i said, sir, after the german chancellor has greeter to every one of his guests. there will be a 1st to working session. and there are the global economy is on the agenda, and here again, the key question will be whether all the leaders will be on the same page when it comes to tackling energy prices. one huge topic on the agenda is to you as a proposal to have prize caps on oil, for instance, something that they're g 7 has been working on. but there are different or proposals how to deal with that and to really have fries caps on oil. that would mean that some countries, including co members of the european union,

would need to re open their already existing sanctions packages. so that is also a topic that will be discussed here. however, we don't know yet whether there will be an agreement at the end of this g 7 meeting . and of course, alexandra and you get mentioning about, or we'll have to find out whether those are g 7 leaders will be on the same page. what we do know is that a lot of people outside that meeting are not on the same page. arm to stay with us, sir alexandra, phenomenal. guess i'll be coming back to you. but 1st, i would like to take a look at those demonstrations that are happening as thousands of activists are. i've also gathered to press for action on climate change and on global poverty. climate attitudes are both vindicated and discouraged. as they march munich, they say the war in ukraine proved g. 7 member countries had been too slow to move away from fossil fuels. and now the world is paying the price when he comes to the

environment and warren p rather more. so vincent, us, the, i wish that the real global problem like p c o climate protection or nutrition or social justice because it get it that they would take that back home, also name and actually try to change something. the suit, the thought indian pow hm. we need concrete decision sounds completely different policies. we need to exit or of colon gas after the war against ukraine has shown very clearly how dependent we are, the evian, to up english cuts. that dependence on russian natural gas has funded it's war. demonstrators are demanding more than promises from the g 7. they are desperate for concrete results and soon or the hardware to man to keys. we're here for the women's international league for peace and freedom via and we need to govern things . we've got a global north can put all the money and to weapons and billions and billions,

while we have other problems, like the famine where the earthquake in afghanistan, we need to address the balance on the given the g 7 hobbs, 10 percent of the world's population but emit one 3rd of global emissions thoughts, which is not okay whenever they have to take responsibility for the global south. in the global south climate change has impacted harvest. and now the war in ukraine threatens to trigger a hunger crisis. as russia blocks ukrainian grain exports, that time for the g 7 to right wrong, these protesters say is now and her back now with alexandra phenomena d w. so brussels bureau chief, who is covering the g 7 summit for us in bavaria, alexandra ah, seeing this, these pictures of those protests. can we expect more such a protest to day? well definitely that was actually a reason why we have to get up at 5 o'clock in the morning to get to the castle of

alamo to be here because the police were telling us that they expected huge protest and the city of garbage apart and kitchen. so far, however, we have to say that what we are, so for instance, yesterday in munich, i protested there, there were less people den as anticipated. but of course this is just at the beginning of for long g 7 summit. and of course we can expect that for many g 7 critics want to be here to protest against what they are calling a summit. that it's just a very costly issue. very expensive issue. and dad is not living up to the expectations are i did w bureau chief, alexandra phenomena in a southern germany, whether g 7 summit is going to start. oh, fort lee. and of course we'll be back with alexandra then to fill us in. and i would also like to welcome in the studio now, did i be political responding, thomas barrow, who is my sparing partner? if you like, in this, in this life?

sorry to do so. as we follow, they said, oh, well, i mean you, you've been following quite a lot of these are some ada. is there anything that you say special to this one? look, there's one thing that i would really like to highlight, and there's a clear understanding from all of these countries that the war in ukraine has an impact that goes well beyond the territory of ukraine. it goes well beyond even europe, it has global impact, and such those global consequences have to be discussed and they have to be solutions found to deal with those global consequences. we're talking here for food security, high energy prices, inflation, and in particular, those are issues that the g 7 presidency. this is evan. german presidency wants to tackle it just ahead of this g 7. in preparation of this summit, there was, for example, of food security international summit here in berlin. and some of those key issues were discussed. how can those very big countries, very powerful countries, actually produce measures solutions that can have an impact. thousands of

kilometers far away and countries that are particularly affected by the war in ukraine is one concrete example. ukraine produces a lot of grain. one of the top grain produces in the world. most of its production now is stuck. it's blocked, they can't export it. and there are countries as far as libya or lebanon, that are having now particular problems, because that grain cannot be exported africa, lots of problems there as well. so as such, this g 7 is not only about discussing further sanctions against to russia or how to support ukraine more. it's also to go beyond that and look at those global effects of the war and ukraine and what exactly these 7 countries can do. and that's also, by the way, the reason why some other countries, some guests increase, they have been invited because it's, there's a clear understanding from germany, from the german government that this goes far beyond the territory of ukraine. exactly. a better country such as south africa and a gall indonesia, india, n, as in tina are invited countries that unknown to not

a fully support the sanctions that the western world has launched against letting me put in a will that she said and try to somewhat get them on their side by basically telling them, listen, we are on your side to actually trying to help you out as well. that's obviously one of the goals there as well to have also political unity when it comes to the war in ukraine and the consequences. i do imagine that behind closed doors, there will be big discussions. there may be differences of opinion that something that we can expect. we can also expect that when they talk to the press or when they give their statements, it will, it will, it will all be about showing unity and showing that they're all the same page. but behind that, when we talk about this global impact of the war in ukraine, these countries that you mentioned come play also a big role when it comes, for example, to having alternatives to ukrainian grains. something that the german government has spoken to. some of these countries in the past or when it comes to energy alternatives as well. some of these countries can play

a big role when it comes to diversifying energy sources. so it's all about those global challenges that we're talking about. it's obviously just as alexandra mentioned, also about trying to find sanctions against russia. the possibility of putting a cap on the price of oil that comes from, from russia, the possibility of putting sanctions on gold. but it goes well beyond that as well . and that's why i find it particularly interesting to see exactly how they will find those solutions. what exactly they will say on that regard. and of course, it all starts with bilateral talks between the german chancellor and u. s. presidente, which we're going to cover life for and to you a thomas sparrow will be in the studio with me in order to give us your analysis later on. bear. so thank you for now, thomas, we'll be back with you in a 2nd and move on to some other very important news, sir. grades capital keith has been rocked by a series of explosions early this morning. a blast happened in the chef chang. keep
