[000:00:00;00] ah ah ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin. japan's form of prime minister shinto arbor, dies after being shot during our campaign events. are they was giving a speech ahead of an election this weekend?

medic say he bled to death of sustaining severe injuries to his heart. forget the latest from tokyo. also, coming up as russia's vladimir putin warns that the war in ukraine is only just getting started. is foreign minister lashes are the attributes of the kremlin invasion and says there's no point in talking about peace and are corresponded in ukraine. here's from 2 people living in the russian health city of cas, on. they tell him about life under russian occupation and by they decided to step ah, i'm good. how else as well come to the program? to parents former prime minister, sions, or arby has died after being shot at a campaign event. please say a 41 year old man has been arrested in connection with the shooting. abbey was the

country's longest serving premier and was well known. all his strong economic and defense policies is killing, has shocked upon the nation where firearms are strictly regulated. and political violence is rare. ah, the moment shin, so are they. we shot twice, a suspect man, handled to the ground. what appears to be a weapon lying on the road near by people ran to the age of japan's former prime minister as he lay seriously wounded. he was quickly transferred to helicopter and flown to hospital. at this point, his condition was described as critical, but doctors were unable to save him. confirming his death,

the hospital said to 67 year old had suffered too deep wounds, including to his heart. the area in the city of norah where this veteran politician had been giving an election campaign speech is now a crime scene. the assassination has shocked japan. a country wag, gun violence is rare, emmy, shaggy nor mrs. a dastardly and barbaric oddity. to knock out it took place in the midst of an election, isn't a buckle daddy. this is the basis of a democracy history. and his absolutely unforgivable thing. i would like to use again, the harshest words to condemn this act. you know, he doesn't was shin,

so our bay was 1st elected prime minister of japan in 2006, making him at 52. the country's youngest ever premier. oh, it proved short lived. a year later he quit following a string of party scandals. he was also suffering from health problems, but he wasn't gone for long. in 2012, he was back promising to revive japan's flagging economy. following years of deflation, abilene, he even put his own name on the plan, are be nomics. ave was also hawkish on defense, expanding japan's military role after years of pacifism, that proved a controversial policy. and he failed to formally rewrite the country's pacifist constitution. he did though,

bolster japan security alliance with the united states are bay was considered a strong leader on the world stage. but in 2020, he again resigned, citing poor health. so to get us politics though, was always in his blood right up until the end. but from all this, sir, let's brand, journalist, michael pen or in tokyo or michael, how's the japanese public reaction to what happened? oh, i would do the words i would use with the shock and horror. you know, mainly because of political violence of this sort might have been common a 100 years ago. but in recent japanese history, this is something that people have not seen

a political murder or assassination of this level. it would go back many, many decades before japan is experienced anything like this. so a suspect has already been arrested. what do we know about him? what we know about him is that he is 41 years old that he was a former member of the maritime self defense forces, which is japan's military navy. and really not too much else about him. we. we do know that he told the police that his objective was to kill the prime minister. so it was not meant to scare him or anything. it was definitely and attempted lisa will attack. but we don't really know is exactly what his motive is. they have at least some statements, but they don't really make much sense. so we don't really know if this was a, a political assassination or if it was some kind of disturbed individual. and

now this is an hour left office 2 years ago. but he was still actively engaged in politics. what was his role in politics these days? well, formerly speaking, his role was to be the head of the largest faction of the ruling party with about more than 90 lawmakers directly loyal to him. ah, but so what that essentially meant was that in japanese politics up until today, he was the 2nd most powerful man in this country in terms of actual influence. you know, he was often making demands on the current prime minister film yaki shita to move policies more in kind of a conservative right wing of direction. so for example, he was leading the campaign to double the military budget, but i under it in the current year. so essentially he was really trying to push the prime minister towards more hard line polishes and you had a lot of clout in order to,

to wield against halting journalist michael pender and tokyo for us. thank you, michael. thank you. now to russia, a president vladimir putin as worn, that moscow's offensive in ukraine has barely begun. he also accused the west of fueling the war and said that its efforts to defeat him would bring tragedy to ukraine. he was speaking to parliamentary leaders and here's some of what he had to say to renew my exclusion. we're hearing that they want to defeat us up. will you on the battlefield? what can i say is good? we let them try. museum the we have often heard the west wants us to fight it until the last ukrainian it that there it's a tragedy the ukrainian people. oh, but it looks like it's heading in that direction. no to those ones. but everybody should know that largely speaking. sure. that we haven't even yet started anything

in earnest. 3 of them at the same time, we don't refuse peace talks, but those who refuse should no longer it last, the more difficult will be for them to make a deal with us sledging year. him would send them to the go to w correspondent, nick spicer is in keen for us, and i asked him how prudence remarks are being received in the ukraine. again, the only official reaction we have is from an adviser to president zaleski so far, who went to put in statement about western powers orchestrating it all and said, look, western powers are present in ukraine. the only people who are present are russian soldiers, but i talked to ordinary ukrainians who come to this monument of destroyed russian tanks and artillery vehicles in front of the saint michael's monastery. and they told me one man saying this is a message for the russian people so that people think goodness, still strong. and it's a message for the western countries to keep their hands off of ukraine. a woman i spoke to said it was diabolical. and that putin was essentially satan,

a young man that i spoke to said that all that back kind of statement can do the same from the kremlin, is to steal the resolve of the ukrainian troops to the front line. i stay with us, we want to have a look at what's happening elsewhere in the country. vladimir putin forces now dominate in eastern and southern cities in ukraine, such as have san back in june, the occupying administration announced a referendum on joining russia. but when this will take place is still unclear. many hassan residents won't be around to vote tens of thousands, i believe, to have left for ukrainian control territory since russia has seized the city. reporting on the ground has become all but impossible for independent journalists. the w's new comedy spoke with 2 locals about life on the occupation. not even the system. at the beginning, we all thought the occupation would be over in a week. really. it was only a few months in that we finally understood that the russians were here to stay. it

looks very similar to what it. ready was in 19, maybe 5 or into 4 as i was a little william and done a red flag her haney and it also very saw your plane. lucy is all my friends have left with the other generation is gone. only the pensioners have stayed here. there's so many people in need right now and on. now these people are not able to get the money that they have on their gums. a lot of beauty, elder people are trying to get in there. awesome. so boston 1000 rural did as a b q to get there. so i think that they give this a good it wasn't her uncle rommel my condition. there are. i only heard about the plans for a referendum to join russia from the ukrainian press. with that, no one's talking about it here for

a little while and on and before it's a fully miller vehicles by in fact. so there are many places where, where ocoee, julian, george's, it is and of course you don't hear about that. many people working left. i see also many authors overseas on facebook telling the 3rd person is missing. when the russians came on, we were expecting things would be as bad as in mary, you, paul, messed up. no, we were scared to even look at the window. it was sheer panic because her ears are damaged the fact that we can leave the house and buy food. and we seems like a miracle, alexis or also a baby girl was always try to just ish, if the russians are shooting or on the ukrainians are covering russians was,

it was showing nothing changes. i'll also end up leaving with only my parents and my grandma that are keeping me here for now. i sure did the graham's delivery. the question is how and when, and we got to do it to become a marathon rather than a spin. connelly reporting then we can all go back to keith. we're next spice's standing by cas on is now fully controlled by russian forces after around 4 months, but ukrainian defenders are apparently advancing on the city. what more do you know? well they have been moving in slowly, i think taken care to not had civilian targets when they user artillery. there are within 2017 kilometers from carrots on cities. so now that the importance of that

is the russians can't really fight on 2 fronts. care. how does you know up and, you know, lou hands can do nets, provinces. there's been a lot of fighting going on now. it's all in the nuts and that's where the next russian offense offensive is expected. but it's, it's a big stretch for them to be fighting on both fronts of the point of ukrainians. fighting down near harrison is basically to make life more difficult for the russians. and just one last thing, there is an underground or partisan movement as well within the region, blowing up train tracks, blowing up train bridge is going to crimea, and blowing up the rails at carrie, for instance, an ammunition car tearing howitzer shells. so the really trying to target the russians behind the lines and from ukrainian territory as well. now, presidents zalinski recently hailed the arrival of western weapons at that precision. all these weapons starting to make a difference. yeah, they are, you know, i mean, he said so himself, and there's been a lot of, you know, reporting from the field,

particularly with american television stations. i think so that, you know, president biden can show that the help is being affected with these high mars unit, these mobile rat rocket launchers. now number 9, that's what we're getting as the official figure. and they're accurate to within a meter. and the russian rockets are accurate within 500 meters as are the ukranian rockets that have been used before. so that means the ukrainians canal, pinpoint a weapons depot. that's where they're going at mainly and you know, really strike the russians ability to engage in those massive artillery barrage, which is pretty much which have pretty much been their strategy so far because they didn't, they lack the manpower to hold on to cities and towns and without reconstituting their heart responded. nik spicer in key of force. thank you. nick. foreign ministers of the g. 20 development. emerging economies have been meeting in bali, indonesia limit tensions over the worn ukraine and, and international food and energy crisis rushes, foreign minister survey leverage walked out of

a closed door session in which the german foreign minister criticized moscow over its invasion. he also left another session before a virtual addressed by ukraine's foreign minister lover of dismissed what he called the west frenzied criticism of the war. saying it's distracting world leaders from dealing with issues affecting the global economy. as holder of the g 20 is rotating presidency indonesia as offer to mediate between russia and ukraine. president joke or we dog, launched a piece building mission last week, visiting both moscow and keith. ciocca widow has sought to maintain good relations with both russia and ukraine. indonesia is what vladimir putin calls a friendly nation from moscow. unlike any of the western powers, remote, both widow has refused to give in to western pressure to exclude vladimir putin from the summit of d. 20 leaders in november. his visit to moscow and key of last week reflected

a delicate balancing act. as welcome annoyance, as i'm bigger what i said in key, if i repeat here once though, the current situation is still hard to leave, we must keep opening more room for dialogue. i have conveyed a message from president zalinski to president putin, and i express my readiness to become a communication bridge between the 2 leaders. gallery throws beside the booker, the content of that message from zalinski was not laid. public widow was the 1st asian leader to visit key if since the war began. he invited president zalinski to attend the g 20 leaders summit in november, even though ukraine is not part of the group. widow has expressed sympathy with ukrainians over the war and said the countries territorial integrity must be respected. prior to the meeting, he told the key of suburb of a pin to witness the devastation 1st hand. indonesia is sending humanitarian aid to ukraine,

but as declined to provide weapons for use against russian forces. widow came fresh from an international summit in germany, where he was able to compare notes with western leaders and meet with those who have previously sought to persuade vladimir putin to end the war. indonesia has had success in the past, in mediating, in regional conflicts in asia. but widow says he has no illusions about the complexity of the russia ukraine war. and, and remind with those complexities zalinski hinted, he would only attend the g. 20 summit if put in is not there. but the kremlin says, put in has already confirmed his attendance. germany has approved the applications of sweden and finland to join nato. a short while ago, members of the buddhist stock ratified the accession of germany's northern allies with a vast majority. much to the delight of the representatives of the 2 countries were watching the vault from the gallery of the decades of neutrality,

sweden and finland moved to join the west, them to front the lions in response to russia's invasion of ukraine. the revocation requires unanimous approval by all 30 current nigel members. still, our correspondent unit has, has been following this boat for us and i asked her earlier if this was a split decision by germans dads it was indeed quick. and there was a reason for it. m, i spoke to some members of parliament before the vote, and they told me that germany had intended to become the 1st country to ratify. now that didn't work out the country's wire, but foster like estonia and canada. but the idea was to send a very clear signal here from germany that the country is family behind finland and sweden joining nato. and in fact, that one was an overwhelming majority. that draft law was even prepared jointly by the governing parties and the conservatives. and in the end, even the far right, a f d voted in favor,

only the left voted against fin into the sweden joining nato. so the idea is clear, germany sees finland and serena's trusted reliable strong partners that they've worked together with very closely in the past and continue to do so with their a lot of shared values, a democracy. and, and of course, also they have very strong economic economically. and so the idea is not just that of finland and sweden joining nato would mean that the security for those countries would be enhanced in the light of a threat that russia could act aggressively against those countries as well. but also that nature as a whole would become stronger and that would of course also benefit germany. now the representatives of finland and sweden were here and are managed to catch up with representatives from, from sweden after the vote. it was a great honor to, to be invited here to, to share this sam historic moment for, for both sweden and finland and also for germany. so it's

a grateful day for us to do that today. still, at the reason why sweden did give up it's decades old neutrality is because of the fear of a potential russian aggression. i think what you mentioned is, sir, of course, that the basic reason for why we're here today and the various have before and after dead. the 24th of february, of course. and here we are hoping, of course in giving all our, our support a in a financial and humid herring and also the military means sad to ukraine. and yet it is to be expected that not all countries will ratify as quickly as germany is doing. what are your fears? do you think that turkey the tried to block finland and sweden from joining nato? my do use this process as a means to push out the through their own interest. i at we a, there is, of course,

a all countries and all, all night nato partners had their, their own and it processes and procedures. and of course we are, we are in aware of all that. and i think to day it, we're, i'm just here to were to witness the strong signal and the that quick. and the quick process that to a said that was made by my germany. and we are very, very grateful and, and positive to, to this day me that does that me lead sweden and finland will now become natal members in no taught well, no, it doesn't. and that's precisely why i asked that question. because m all countries, all 30 native members have to ratify. now the governments have given the approval, but it now has to go through the parliament all through the other processes that are needed for the countries to officially say, yes, every single country has the right to veto and turkey did say in the past that he

didn't want finland and sweden to join. kentucky is a nato member, but it also still has ties with russia and it has since given up its resistance. but it has also since issued demands in return for ratification. and so the pessimists are saying that this could potentially mean a bit of a drawn out process of the next coming months, where some might use their pro says as a means to pursue their own interests. pessimists are saying that it could take in the year before finland and sweden become full fledged members. and of course, that means that only then would they be fully protected by the alliance, which is why in the mean time for the transition period, countries like germany have already issued security guarantees for finan in sweden min at heart. thank you very much. some sports who's now in tennis on suburb continues to make history at wimbledon only a few days ago. she became the 1st arab an african woman to reach a semi final of

a grand slam. now that tunisia is the 1st to reach a final in the open era, the work number 2 is finally living up to expectations of the beating rival and close friends touch on maria. 623661. she'll face russian born cousin clair helena ruby kina in saturdays fun and to a former top foot ball officials have been acquitted on charges of illegally using fever funds, according switzerland found x, v for president the latter and football legend we shared plot he need not guilty of corruption, the chargers were in connection with the payment of just over 2000000 euros. which gluttony received from fif urine blotches, tenuous, v for president in 2011, the payment was made for consultancy work performed many years before to the payment being made. both men were banned from football in 2015,

some on the verdict on a job as a heart dw sport, anthony justice finally served michelle platinum thinks justice has been served, but likewise said platter. but this is the case you had really about the behavior fee for executives in the context of the real world. faith is world made real world in favors world war the tournament to russia. they sell tickets, they sell merchandise, and i sell the t v rights that pick up the money. they leave russia without paying tax and they return to switzerland where they also don't pay taxes because they're non profit organization. now if you've been living in for that financial word, but bubble that business as usual, the interesting part comes when you over when you apply the standards of the real world to behavior that takes place inside that bubble. which brings us to this case cit, bladder, place michelle plus 20. $2000000.00 swiss francs on top of the fee for wage. interesting for a start being paid as a consult when you already have a salary. there's no contract for this work. also interesting,

the payment that was made was that is after the services rendered very interesting . when viewed from outside of the faith. well, you could attach a lot of adjectives to this case. strange, peculiar, or even suspicious, maybe suspicious enough to prosecute, but not enough to have a guilty verdict. so let's have a case about why is it comes to the when they won the case, they walk away from this case and i'll make a brief walk away from this case, not guilty, but it really becomes about, did i lose the war? yes, they did. both men had to stand down. black stood down and plotting a who was going to reply splatter. he was the man and he was in this guy and the captain of france, the wife, a boss, he was going to become the next manager lesson is less of french football. he was he to play and when he wanted to pay the boss and he lost his chance. so who won the case? he left in 2015 and johnny infant tina stepped into that void the day after he was under investigation under investigation from
