1000000 jews like microbes to be annihilated even 77 years after the holocaust hatred towards choosing is still pervasive history that he semitism starts july 2nd on d w ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin, the annual summary of the group of 7 leading democracies is underway here in germany. on the 1st day of talks, the g 7 leaders agree to invest hundreds of 1000000000 of billions of dollars in global infrastructure to promote sustainable development. they also agree to

increase energy security for their lives while correspondence. they're also on the show explosions, rock ukrainian capital in the 1st parent russian attack called keith in nearly 3 weeks. the cities, nurses with loss storage and central district, and a residential complex was on fire. we'll get the latest from the ukrainian capital . aah! i manage mckinnon. welcome to the program g 7 leaders have agreed to invest $600000000000.00 and global infrastructure. the pledge came on the 1st day of their annual summit, which is being hosted by germany this year. it said the investment was crucial to sustainable economic development. and she certainly does also stress their efforts to increase energy security. a 3 day meeting is expected,

in addition to focus on russia's aggression and how to keep up support the ukraine over the longer term. and climate change is also on the agenda and take a listen now to what u. s. president joe biden had to say about the global infrastructure program. and i'm proud to announce the united states mobilize $200000000000.00 in public or private capital. next 5 years through our partnership. we're here today because we're breaking this to them together as a g 7 in coordination with one another and bachelor's in practical work. collectively, we have to mobilize nearly $600000000000.00 from the g 7 by 2027. and so what we're joined now by chief political editor and mckayla. tiffany is at the g some g 7 summit venue in a, in the bavarian because it sounds like quite a lot of money is being put on the table by the g. 7 leaders. can you tell us more?

yes, it will be interesting to see how much of that is actually directly out of public coffers. and how much of that is leveraged leads to private investment there at china's budget is more round about a trillion at the same time for its belt and road initiative. and this can be seen as a response to both at china's belton road, which has good been going on for years. also seeing a greek port bought by china as a strategic investment. and at the same time, this is very much sparked by the war and ukraine with the concern increasingly that as countries all countries are suffering from rising fuel prices, inflation, soaring, costs of food, the pressure is on. and that countries like india, for instance, you belong to the brick states, and that's a group of states where you also have tine and russia sitting alongside them. it could decide to drift more towards those countries who are not democracies who

don't share and g 7 values. so the g 7, a reedy of pulling together here, putting money on the table and trying to persuade states to head in the western democratic rule of law direction rather than be attracted potentially by cheaper fuel or any kind of investment by china. so obviously the economic fall out of russia's invasion of ukraine was discussed. but what about action on climate change? yes, well that used to be what was billed as the top of the agenda for the d 7 presidency . and german concept would have salts is setting up something called the climate club at all. so again, through investment in countries that haven't invested terribly much yet in renewable energy, getting them on board to fulfill at their paris commitments at the g 7. also

stepping up a to that will be interesting is how much crossover there will be between that program. a targeted climate change and this other investment program and, and that is a deep concern. but interestingly, we saw less protested turn out as than expected on climate change. this is a very, very different kind of mood than at the last g 7 summit certainly here we're anglo michael also, 7 years ago made a point of climate change and global health. and a lot more seems to be on the table, no matter who you talk to. this is seen as a significant summit, setting the direction for potentially the decades to come. and what is meant by that? it is the distribution of power. it is a re suffering of power politics, whether that is multi lateral or driven by states that have much more if, well, that means like, was, had, doesn't have to be war. but certainly persuasive means undemocratic means of

getting countries on their side. he w a chief political editor, mikaela christina in bavaria. thank you so much. earlier i spoke to stormy anna committee now. she's the executive director of the aspen institute, germany and she's at the summit in southern germany. i asked her for her take on the summit so far. ah, 1st of all, thanks for having me. and this is a summer term which shows a lot of solidarity on we saw a lot of bilateral meeting and also pictures which showed quite clearly how united the west and one of the big topics on the agenda to day was rushers war against the ukraine. sanctions, new financial contributions, but also the world economy, the lumen, recession, inflation weights. so the agenda is really, really 4. but what strikes me as particularly noteworthy is the unity among the g 7

leaders. now, earlier today, america's president joe biden called germany one of the closest allies in the world . what does that tell us about the current german american relationship? it tells us that there is a, i would say transatlantic renaissance during the trump administration. and 3rd, president relationship was really quite struggling. i would say i'm in now we're seeing really a revival of the the pictures we saw often by left for meeting. and then also biden's words are very important as into a signal to the world, but also a signal to the german population itself. choices i know a lot of pressure and implies also lately. so before it's off being a little too slow with regard to weapon deliveries to the ukraine into we heard

a lot that the americans are quite unhappy with a speech in which germany being but fight and said quite clearly today, germany is an important life and he thinks chance of for what you did over the last month. so i would say again, this great unity in the fed relationship. would you say that that display of unity was also aimed at russian president vladimir fuson? oh absolutely. i mean what he did not expect. i think when he invaded the ukraine invaders ukraine is western unity. he looked over the past years where we had a lot of whisks on on many issues and the tentative relationship, but also within the european union. also in the relationship of the you with the u . k and rec said and i think he's, he saw that he would get out at a time of weakness. and the last month i clearly show that this is not the case

that the west is united. certainly, i mean there are some differences with regard to interest and vulnerabilities and so on, but this huge unit to you with regard to the sanctions and financial contributions and, and also weapon to live with counseling questions. so i think the pictures and words we saw today and her today, which really is directed also towards food and saying, we are here in united for the sanctions against russia to be more effective. the g 7 members need more countries on board. do you think we can expect countries like india, south africa, to support g 7 measures designed to punish moscow? for example, a capital the oil prices. mm. yeah, this is a really, really tricky issue. the idea of putting a price on oil, an oil price cap. so to say is a, is an idea which i've bought along to the 2nd comment. and it doesn't actually make

a lot of sense before russian income actually fees from energy sales. and it has very positive trade into account balance this year. the economy is going to, in russia a sanction. and could be a lot more powerful and forceful if we imputed an energy in the packets. and for, for a oil prices have to really work on, it's not sufficient to have the you and to pan at the united states on board. we also need india and also south africa. and that's why it is so important that these countries also here indonesia, for example, if also not the outreach partners. and i expect that in the course of the next couple of days. they will be a lot of meetings with these countries as well as they can join the efforts against russia also with regard to sanctions. dr. still me on a commissioner, executive director of the aspen institute, germany, thank you so much for your time. thanks for having our while the g 7 leaders

meet for talks at m. o. castle protests have been taking place on the streets of a town nearby that demonstrates is demanded swift action on climate change and an end to the use of fossil fuels. they also called on wealthy nations to tackle global poverty and inequality and with russian war in ukraine. dominating the talks demonstrate as much for peace and cuts to military spending from a speck to w correspondent, benjamin alvarez gruber, who's been covering those demonstrations near the summit venue. and i asked him to tell us more about the protests today. the situation here in garbage parking is pretty calm. as you can see behind me, you can see buses that are taking the protesters to other cities here in bavaria. many of them came from munich in the morning and now being escorted back to their

cities. so they came for a day, the situation throughout the day was relatively calm. there were a few moments at a few turns. moments were police officers put on helmets, and once again asked people would, she's hard in the rally to follow the rules that the police gave them to protest. yang, garbage, parking chicken. far less people were here than the ones who were expected. a similar situation to the one that we saw yesterday in munich, we're organizes expected around 20000 people. but the were only around 4000 air. that's the number the police estimated to who are the people are protesting and what are they demanding? specifically? there are several groups and it's not just 1. 1 group of protest says there was a really interesting moment will. one group of people was walking towards a little street in the center of garbage part and kick were met by another group of protesters waving ukrainian flags and singing ukraine's national anthem. and what people were demanding in both rallies on one side to not forget ukraine to keep

sending happy weapons and will people, and the other protests were demanding, is asking d 7 lead us to take a real stance to take global problem seriously when it comes to hunger when it comes to global change, to talk with the global south, they're criticizing that there's so many police offices and i've never seen so many police officers covering l being in a protest as i saw here today. $18000.00 are in garbage packaging around the area, securing in the all the summit. it venue here. schloss, elmer, where the g 7 leaders are meeting so that we're protesting against a so many police officers in how expensive this summit is also for germany. all right, it only correspondent benjamin outright group. i think so much turning to the war in ukraine now and multiple explosions that were heard on the southern outskirts of the capitol. keith, they came hours after russian missiles struck the city center,

severely damaging residential buildings there. and missile strikes a key, the apartment blocked one of 40 in incoming rockets this morning. authorities say it's been 3 weeks since the last attack. but if key events were lulled into a sense of security, they are again alert to the russian threat rescue as help a person stuck under the rebel. as 7 year old girl is pulled to safety alive, keep mer baton. the credit goes said the strike was a warning to ukrainians ahead of a crucial nato summit being held next week. a day earlier, vladimir putin warned nato not to pursue what he called confrontational policies. in a meeting with bella, ruthie, and leader alexander lucas shanker or hurtin announced that he would deliver

nuclear capable missiles to his ally in the coming months. hours before ukrainian fighters lost control of severe donetta leaving the industrial city in rough and hands. after weeks of st. battles, ukraine called this retreat, a tactical withdrawal to fight from higher ground unless it chanced on the opposite bank of the river. president zalinski vowed the battle was not lost. she is sure that they all our cities. soviets done yet. lo hunter will get them all back. every week we go to her son, not a single day. we forget about melita paul, about bare dns about enter her dar murray of all, all of these cities and ukraine, which are temporary occupied. we'll get them back. would be great. as the battle for lucy chanced now ramps up the people of the twin cities are fleeing west and russia has.
