the, the, this is the, the news live from ballot. as the annual g 7 summit gets underway in japan, ukraine's presidents the landscape will address the gallery in person and lead leaders of the world's top economies face to face. also coming up the west flooding in a century and old and it's at least at least 13 people have been killed and risk assets

on the way to reach trapped resident last, syrian president bush off of a saw arrives and get up to attend to the arab league summit ended a decade, the regional isolation for his country. the guy who else is welcome to the program. as the leaders of the world's most powerful democracies are meeting in japan for a summit likely to be dominated by russia's invasion of ukraine and by china's growing global influence. that also expected to announce further sanctions on moscow, ukraine's president lensky is expected to join the leaders in press. the head of the official meetings in he rush him out of the latest, visited the cities peace pump. it's a memorial search for the 10s of thousands of people killed for the 1st atomic bomb,

which was dropped by the united states doing the final days of world war 2. let's now go to the w as chief at the national editor, richard walker, who is in hiroshima, richard zalinski was expected to address the gathering via video link as he often does. but now are you currently in the official said he's going to be that in person. why is that? that's right. yeah. it get hard to enter the as this news came out in the last few hours here and we just sent to in hiroshima, that was definitely a ripple of excitement. and i think you can see what the appeal for zalinski would be to be on asian soil bringing his message to lead is he and not just in europe and the united states has, as we've seen him being recently. but also i think particularly important for him is going to be bringing his message, not just to the members of the g 7 who are pretty much lined up behind him already

. but also some of the political part, the countries who have been invited to this g 7 summit countries like i think, 1st and foremost, particularly india. if we look at an adventure mode, the, the prime minister of india, sorry, influential lead to the c a. he's also got the chair of the g 20, another major grouping of course, and india, one of these countries that is try to kind of walk a pretty neutral line on the was so far, it hasn't wanted to anger russia, which has a long see it has a long standing relationship with so for a lot to me, so let's get the opportunity to be able to even potentially get face time with no rental emoji, and other leaders like him being sort of on the fence over there was so far, i think, is particularly interesting for us, and let's get this point. richard rochelle has repeatedly threatened to use nuclear weapons eventually. but this is g 7 summit is now taking place in the city where

the world's 1st atomic bomb was dropped. it's as simple as intended. is it playing into the summit of the yeah, absolutely me is very strong. symbolism here in the chapter. it depends prime minister for me. ok. see that he comes from hearing in her rush, him and um, earlier in the day we just saw at the top day he took the g 7 lead as to the memorial, which you can see just in the fall distance behind me that they tell me that this become an icon of what happens here in 1945 when american nuclear bum uh lived each year, killing a 100000, maybe more people. and she, she does is preparing a statement which the other leaders will be signing onto, you know, trying to re, if um, the g 7 lead is commitment to creating a world one day without nuclear weapons. what i think venue will be wondering whether this really goes beyond the symbolism, because the sad fact of the praying for is that in many minds,

it's only on the line, the continuing relevance of nuclear weapons. the fact of letting me a person who's been using them a is the making threats with nuclear weapons, but also the fact that ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons back in the 1990s to russia. losing perhaps the ultimate protection, losing of weapons that many countries looking on might think could have prevented that invasion from happening in the 1st place. so a strong message coming out from a g 7 on nuclear weapons at the moment, but many questions to be asked about really, how much of an impact it can have. now ukraine, surely on top of the agenda that but there's another put potential crisis looming in the region. that's taiwan. just the world's leading factory assembly conducted ships. but paging sees the island as a break away province. smart robot event issue play at this conference. yes, certainly we're going to see the taiwan featuring in the communicate coming out at

the end of this meeting for japan. here. it's a particularly important issue because taiwan is badly moved into a 100 kilometers away from the southern tip of japan. so this is absolutely on japan still step this issue, but also china, it was more broadly the discussion of how would these rich democracy should deal with china trying to coordinate depositions is very much front of minds. here. i think the, the, the americans and the europeans in briefing the media are leading up to this above sort of suggesting that they've influence the other towards that point of view that the americans have made the europeans and little bit more aggressive towards china . the europeans essentially say that they've managed to tone down the americans in somewhat to us, china and the language that they will kind of settling on this. this idea that they want to de risk that relationship with china to reduce vulnerabilities in their relationship, particularly their economic relationships and going forward. the chinese for that

part say, well they think that this is the time of the coupling time that's being used along the findings around in recent years. that is the coupling by simply by another name . but we'll watch what comes out and they communicate over the weekend to get 100 bits of elk of the w as chief international editor. thank you. of the piece of puck in hiroshima, which will lead us visited, is the main official memorial to the nuclear bombing off a city on x report looks a much more personal form of historic, historical witness. and 84 year old survivor off the nuclear tackle welcomes of visitors into her home to talk about her experience. i guess so always welcome to visit to chico tanaka in hiroshima. and you visitors arrive almost every day. the 84 year old has

turned to the house into a meeting place. today, people have come home away from britain, huddled my name, we go to kind of i survived at the bottom in the shadows and it wasn't easy for me to talk of. but i'm going to tell you today to she was in elementary school, a 1st grader on august 6th, 1945 on that day, and american airplane of heat in the sky. this is followed by blinding light. she was 2 kilometers away from where the bomb designated she suffered, painful dance, was difficult at night. this was the title of to the most on my way home. i so many people coming towards me from nearby, they all had severe burns. more and more people came because back then there was a stream here, do not collect the significance. i've called the lead down and died in the sense

that there were bodies everywhere she has since told her story to people from many countries to she could knows people from all over the world, including in ukraine a to use of to hiroshima, the fee of a new killer attack has returned the message and it looks like we were talking on a video called this. i said the sapling, there's nothing i can do. i have hardly any money, no influence. but my friend told me there is something you can do. you witness the horrors of the atomic bomb? tell the whole world about it took me to associate with the local. let me take a look at it. so do you think you'd have to discuss that ahead of the meeting of g 7 industrial nations and he received the city stage to you for him to she co. tanaka said she hopes a simple message, reach the attendees. you told us to make friends with people from all over the

world. how do we do that? what's going on with that to me? that'd be nice like well, but it just requires human kindness. no, it might surprise some of you, but i have become friends with the grandson of president truman who ordered the use of the a bomb. content should also visit hiroshima as should all other leaders between the children's peace monument in here a shame is peace memorial park. many of the victims where his young mistress equal to knock a was then she says she also speaks for them. it's a contribution to piece so let's have a look at some of the other stories making headlines today. your ons traditionally has confirmed that it has executed 3 men for violence against the security forces budget. cause amy salas mirrors, jamie and so you do. you have to be convicted for drawing a gun during

a protest last year, spock by the desk in custody of marshall, a meeting who has been arrested for an alleged breach of female dress code. the pentagon says it has over estimated the value of military aid that the united states has provided to ukraine by at least $3000000000.00. the apparent accounting era could allow the us department of defense to send more weapons to tease without asking congress for additional funding. please say a man has been arrested up to an incident at the balance. it can be pulled, say the suspect was driven was driving a car and denied entry by gods. but then sped, paused and reached security checkpoints. that's good statement said the driver didn't get close to pick francis private or at least 13 deaths have been confirmed in northern italy's west flooding in a century. west. jeff,

it's on the way in the west affected regions where an unknown number of people off fits traps. authorities are still trying to assess the full scope of the devastation. right? is less intense now, but the lovable to so little sign of receiving the w correspondence on the funding comp go to effect 1st time. look at the situation simply on the force of the adobe to danger. said there's so much i've never seen anything like it. my whole life must be most. salvatore hasn't been himself ever since. walter level begins rising this afternoon in his village. you go. it leaves northern flood to immediate romani, our region within was what does it consume the ground floor and some motions, neighbor, middle course kitchen outside the reading is stopped. but to rain should overflows from smoldering rivers and controls. continue to go into villages in the region, wreaking havoc and putting the stream on emergency services. salvador,

a mechanic who lives on the sea for upper floor, says the strides and bean to contact the fire service for him. but he is a bit to check your market right now. the focus is right key on risk, getting people from house system that it's only lead to that, then worry about pumping out the water. the floods have also sparked outpouring a pin, a steam supporting t is quite to fill the gaps. edwardo, along with his friends, has been on his feet since 5 in the morning, helping with evacuation and rescue operations. he's from the area, isn't sure what has happened to his own home? cut off because i've been helping manage traffic, helping with places in the country side, the water has risen too hot for me to. it's the 4th or 5th time that i've had to change my thoughts today. i don't have fresh socks left. i'm now practically able to close the dial situation in google has also drawn extra

professional hands from other parts of the country. for the most part of the situation is quite district. now, the whole region of immediate romano, suffering from something, it's really quite unimaginative, but the resources are what they are, what we try to do, what we can with what we have for residents, like valentina cody health is usually when she was walking this morning by not going to go for ground floor department by the police. i'm evacuated uninterruptible. she's now waiting with the family to be taken by the emergency services to her parents. know the so the federal f, i hope to return soon. but i don't know when we live on the ground floor, all the wood is damaged. so is the kitchen. i just hope it's not too long. getting residents to safety is the priority and it leaves flood total region. everything is,

can we have we, can i speak to john list? sylvia book ivy who is in milan. sylvia a how the rest of operations going are emergency service actually managing to reach the remote areas as high as well? um we, we know that there are entire areas there are completely cut out isolated from, from, from everything by power blackout by lines the phone lines that are down by trains that are not working. so um, this is like worrying mainly the, the, the deal ration, but we know also that people are being safe. we have seen videos of people actually on the, on top of the roof of wire being safe. i think these of elderly people that are being carried out on, on, on the shoulders and breast here is so rescue operations are going on fast. so going well. but at the same time, we know that there are,

there are more areas that that should be safe. at the moment, um especially i was talking yesterday with, with some people um that are lucky enough to be on top of the hill. uh, and they could see around that that literally everything around them was a merge. now what else can you tell us about the, the she a scale of the damage so far? well, um, it's very early to know something about the scale of the damage, but uh there was an uh, an initial damage estimate for blowing y'all. the metropolitan area alone and we're talking about a 110000000 euros just the road. so not counting landslide, not counting the damaged, private individuals and, and product. good. so the figure, it expands rise enormously, and it's a really, really serious banks have started allocating hundreds of millions for emergency. and the government as well is going to meet up on,

on tuesday for an emergency meeting to get to get more money for a, for the emergency. but i mean, we have to see if this is gonna be enough. so what about the cleanup efforts? how long will that take? it again is very, it's very early to say that romana is completely some nurse other moments and if he's cleaning clinging to every possible anchor, not to think there are thousands of volunteers, we're trying to help. or we have inflatable boats helicopter is firefighters. um but we, we still really need to see what next. um, just a meeting is gonna, it's gonna, it's gonna say that they will have major past uh, in order to have more. um, you know, rest of operation put in place digital is sylvia because they're speaking from milan and thank you very much. sylvia. thank you. serious,
