and d, w ah, ah, ah, this is d w. news live from bird that the g 20 summit opens on the indonesian island of bali, gathering of the world's most powerful leaders, is overshadowed by russia's invasion of he crime. and the global fallout from that conflict. also coming up, he grants president, calls the liberation of her son, the beginning of the end of the war. a lot of mister lensky visited the city to congratulate the troops who ended 8 months of russian occupation.

ah, i'm at the house, walk into the program today summit bringing to get the leaders from the world's largest economies. the g 20 is kicked off in barley, indonesia. russia's war on ukraine is in the spotlight of busiest gathering, even though it is not officially on the agenda. intonation president, jacob widow has been welcoming the leaders, russian foreign minister, sir guy, lab rob is attending the summit in place of president vladimir putin. russia's come in for international criticism of its invasion, which has caused economic disruption and fears of an energy and food crisis in much of the world. while international president tried in vain to get vladimir taken to attend, i asked d w se asia bureau chief, guilt matters. what the leaders of the g 20 nations need most to resolve?

in putin's absence, i would say if you believe the german chancellor, a key achievement has already been that there is a clear opposition, has been voiced here at this a be a head of this meeting. 11 has to say already by many members against the use of nuclear weapons or the threat of, of nuclear weapons, particularly in a bilateral meeting between the u. s. a president and the chinese president and a soul of from the perspective of shots that has been a success and not only from the drummond perspective. but if you take a look at the summit from a ukrainian perspective, it has been already a success of ruffle as a presidency. lensky of voiced her that he welcomes the united front against the russian aggression. and today, at the 1st summits day, he will address leaders in our video message here on such a crowded agenda. what are some of the other key issues here facing the latest

i'd say from the indonesian perspective, but also from a perspective of many asian states in particular, we've been hard hit by the pandemic economic recovery. it's really top of the agenda and that is why the nation president really went through a marathon of bilateral meetings ahead of the summit. and also at the summit, a trying to achieve us at some real concrete examples, as he said off of new partnerships in order to improve other world economy. and in that, in that respect, it may actually be an advantage that newton has skipped at this summit because it will not overshadow the event and the hands. the focus can be as the indonesian president intense on the economy and chaos focusing in what does hosting this summit named for indonesia, specifically a country which only just recently reopened to foreign visitors after the pending one really has to say it's been an extremely dull,

tough presidency for indonesia and not only because you had covered and, and many members couldn't attend the ministerial g, 20 meetings in person. but also obviously because the war in ukraine has been overshadowing events even on key ministerial meetings that i have attended here in bali like the environmental ministry meeting or the trade ministers meeting or not a single united a communique a could be signed. there were always a statements that were given by the presidency, but not a common declaration that came out of it. and that was a disappointment for indonesia that worked extremely hard to make this a summit, a success if this is something that might also affect this summit, that we will not see a common declaration. but maybe 11 should also say that this is not how one should measure the success of a summit like this. the fact that there is this meeting and the fact that there is many bilateral meetings are going on, including one beach, where between a china and the u. s. that has cool fears of a new cold war in this rivalry,

is maybe already a success. they deliver joke matters at the g 20 summit in bali. thanks so much. well ahead of the g. 20 summit. u. s. president biden met with chinese leaders. she, she ping in indonesia. one of the most pressing issues was china's aggressive claim to taiwan. but mostly this highlighted the need to avoid conflict after months of simmering tension, the leaders of china and the u. s. struck an optimistic tone in what president joe biden called direct and straightforward talks during their meeting ahead of the g. 20 summit in barley, tony's president, she's in ping told his u. s. counterpart that the 2 nations share common interests as china's political and economic power grows. she said beijing is not looking to challenge the u. s. or shake up the existing international order. ah,

the current state of china us relations is what we are both concerned about. but the current state does not conform to the fundamental interests of our 2 countries and peoples. nor does it conform to the expectations of the international community . one of the key issues was taiwan and the u. s. pledge to defend the self governing island biden voiced opposition to growing chinese aggression. he reiterated washington's one china policy, which acknowledges beijing's claim to taiwan, but does not recognize its sovereignty over the island. but biden said there was no need to let tension spill over into a new cold war. i'm from for a policy or 2 at all. this is a clue course to lucy was all quite

after us house speaker. nancy pelosi visited taiwan in august. amazing, scrapped its agreements with washington on tackling climate change. but following monday's meeting at the world's 2 biggest greenhouse gas emitters have re, committed to cooperate. biden said, u. s. secretary of state antony blinkin will soon visit china, vowing to avoid conflict and keep communication channel wide open. ukrainian president vladimir zalinski has called the liberation of his son, the beginning of the end of the war during a surprise visit to the city. his on was re captured by ukrainian forces on friday, after russian troops withdrew to the other side of the ne, per river. the city had been under occupation for 8 months. russia annexed his own and the surrounding area, after a sham referendum in september. willow to me as the landscape came to the liberated

city, to deliver a message of hope and defiance. mitchell? oh, it was not very pleasant. when i saw the number of destroyed houses, the number of destroyed cafes, this is what the russian federation has done to our country. it shone the whole world that it can kill. but all of us are armed forces, our national guard, our intelligence services, have shown that it is impossible to kill ukraine's memory. the retreating russians are close, so the landscape visit is dangerous. it isn't the 1st time the wartime leader has ignored personal risk to lift the nation's spirits. ah, haslam is draped, ukraine's national colors. so too, it's jubilant residents. the moment of liberation still fresh on their minds. we just to understood that there are no russian troops in the city. and samson is

changed to pull the smiling and probably somebody in you 1000. and then, oh, when we return to me, we saw how the flag was the rising by all the people and we were, we were just crying. it was so it was so wonderful. meanwhile, the remnants of russian rule, a fast disappearing. i had a low billboards, no advertising, but this russia, russian hill again to every where is the thing we, they wanted to conform, like people in russia where didn't work. victory in house on has added momentum to ukraine and efforts to expel the invaders. but with russian forces just across the river and still lodged in large parts of eastern ukraine, polanski and his commanders know that the war is far from over. lacquer spun at nick connelly spent the day in hare son. he was asked to earlier if

this now means the city is safe from russian attack. well, definitely it doesn't feel particularly safe. you're coming from outside. you constantly hear very loud bang. some of those are minds being blown up, but also some of that is very definitely russian artillery coming from the other side of the nipper river. the entirety of fits on is basically, you know, available to russian fire. there is no way that is safe, even from pretty short range weapon systems. but when you walk around street and talk to people, they barely look up when they hear those bang. you see the kind of the outside of the journalist, the politicians coming from care of today, all co looking knows the sky and the local to just glue to their phones, hoping for a bit of mobile phone signal to contact the outside world to hear how their families are doing to catch up on news, and they are now totally new to it. 8 months after, in the outpatient began, and most people, they say that youth russians are on the side of the river. they don't believe that the russians can hold their position, then they commits the cranial me will send them packing within a few weeks. that was state of least nick connelly speaking to us

a little earlier. ok now to some of the other stories making headlines around the world to sell. democrat, katie holmes has been elected governor of arizona beating republican former news anchor. every like, like, was endorsed by former president donald trump and back his discredited claims of fraud. in the 2020 presidential election victim races and the fake news won't tell united nations general assembly has passed a resolution calling on russia to pay reparations to you cry. the non bonding decision was supported by 94 of the assemblies, 193 members. it states that browser brush up rather must be held accountable for violations of international law in or against. the european union is imposing new sanctions on iran. the measures target senior officials and some organizations. a foreign ministers met in brussels to discuss sanctions in response to a rounds crackdown on anti government protest and its alleged supply. drones to

russia. chief, the veranda revolutionary god, and a company that makes drones or among the targets. more than 300 people have been killed during the protests, which were spot or the death of a woman in custody in police. custody by the deadly correspondent terry schultz followed the foreign ministers discussions in brussels. she told us more about the sanctions on iraq continuing to support ukraine against russia's aggression was the main issue on the foreign ministers agenda today. but there was also a lot of attention on iran, more than 30 individuals and organizations have now been placed on the sanctions list over 2 separate issues. the 1st is over the continuing repression of human rights. and the interior minister has now been put on the use black list because of the, the brutal repression of demonstrators who filled the streets since the september death of masa omni, the young woman who was arrested for reportedly failing to cover her head in the

appropriate way. according to ron's morality police, the squat of, of officers who arrested her are also now on that list. now the 2nd issue is over to ron supply of drones to the russian government. and a high ranking, a military and intelligence official has now been blacklisted along with a drone making company. this is the 2nd round of sanctions that the e u has placed on iran over the supply of drones. and that brings up another issue that's drawing a lot of concern in brussels these days. and that is that iran is reportedly preparing to supply ballistic missiles to moscow. now you foreign policy chief, joseph burrell, has been on the phone to the regime multiple times in the last couple of weeks to urge to run, to change its mind on this to say that more sanctions will be brought into force immediately. if it's proven that such a shipment takes place. now while all of these tensions are bubbling at a high point, the in you is also trying to make peace with iran over the nuclear deal. they very

much want to keep this agreement alive. of course, after the u. s. pulled out in 2016, and this is going to be a hard sell now, because that would involve lifting sanctions on the regime at the same time as they're doing these other things that are drying more restrictions. and we're told that that's really not getting a lot of attention. now we're not, there's not a lot of appetite for that in either europe or the united states. and it remains to be seen whether t ron is even interested in continuing to discuss it. given the most recent developments they w, terry shops, they're speaking to us from brussels. now, before we go to christmas island, we have one of the animal kingdoms. most mesmerizing migrations is underway. millions of red crabs are swarming their way across the island as they head today. coastal breeding grounds, the crustaceans spend most of the in the forest time with the start of the wet season, sending them racing to the coast to might,
