3 more. after all, there are billions to be made. our chief documents rate, deep sea greet starts to date on d, w. the . this is dw news live from the berlin. as busy as the summit, g 7, somebody gets on the way in japan. you credits, presidency. lensky will address the gathering in person. and we'd latest off the world's top economies face to face. also coming up with slot again, a century and all the nationally,

at least 13 people have been killed and rescued efforts on the way to reach tracts rest plus syrian president bush, all the saw, the rives instead of to attend the arab league summit that ending at decades of regional oscillation for his vision, the, i'm good, how about as well come? the leaders of the world's most powerful democracies are meeting in japan for summit, likely to be dominated by russia's invasion of ukraine. and china is growing global influence. they also expected to announce further sanctions on moscow, ukraine's presidency. lensky is expected to join the leaders in person ahead of their official meetings. in hiroshima, the latest visited the cities peace upon. it's a memorial sites to the 10s of thousands of people killed by the 1st atomic bomb

which was dropped by the united states during the final days of world war 2. earlier i spoke to the w as chief international editor, richard volk, in hiroshima, had asked him about the implications of presidency lensky visiting the g 7 summit in person instead of addressing the gathering via video link. this, as this news came out in the last few hours here and we just sent to in the russian . but that was definitely a ripple of excitement. and i think you can see what the appeal for the lensky would be to be on asians 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 with 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 their end, promote 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 do me. so let's get the opportunity to be able to even potentially get face time with no rental modi and other leaders like him being sort of on the fence over the was so far. i think it was particularly interesting for the let's get this point. richard russell has repeatedly threatened to use nuclear weapons eventually, but this is g 7 summit is now taking place in the city with the world's 1st atomic bomb most 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. today he comes from hearing in who rush him a and earlier in the day we just saw at the top day he took the g 7 lead us to the memorial, which you can see just in the fall distance behind me. the, the don't that this become an icon of what happens here in 1945, when american nuclear bottom lines each year, killing a 100000, maybe more people. and it just, it has, 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. but 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 that 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 at losing a weapons that many countries looking on might think could have prevented that invasion from happening in the 1st place. so a strong message is 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 potential crisis looming in the region that's taiwan. just the world's leading factory of semi conductive ships . but badging sees the island as a break away. providence. what role will 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 these rich democracy should deal with china, trying to coordinate depositions is very much front of minds. yet, i think the, the se americans and the europeans in briefing the media 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 that will kind of settling on this. this idea is 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 bandage 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, 200 volk of the w as chief international editor. thank you. that's what open uh, some of the other stories making headlines. iran traditionally says it as executed 3 men for violence against the country security forces that were convicted for drawing a gun during the protest last year. spock by the death and custody of a woman who arrested for an alleged breach of female dress code. satanic onset is it as 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 keep without asking congress for additional funding. please say a man has been arrested officer an incident at the vatican. we pulled say the saw specialist driving a car and denied entry by gods,

but then sped tossed the breach. so he went to check points of attic and statements that the driver didn't get close to pulled francis private courses. at least 13 that's been confirmed in northern italy's was flooding in a century rescue efforts underway and the west effected regions where and i know number of people of fed trapped authorities all still trying to assess the full scope of the devastation. the rain is less intense. now, but the flag board does show a little fun of receiving the w correspondence on your father comp. go to 1st time look at the situation simply on the adult. wait danger for me or the sellers of mirrors. i've never seen anything like it and my whole life must be most of the door hasn't been themselves ever since walter level begins rising this afternoon in this village. if you go in italy's northern

flood, emilia romani a region within was what does it consume? the council and some motions, neighbor middle course kitchen, outside the reading is stopped, but to mention overflows from swollen rivers and controls, continue discussion to 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 he strides and bean to contact the fire service for him. but he is a bit to on but she doesn't get much better on it. so right now the focus is rightly on rescuing people from hoses lights are the worry about pumping out the water. the floods have also sparked outpouring a pin, a steam support, and t is quite to fill the gaps. eduardo, 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 and isn't sure

what does happen to his own home. traffic to, to be to helping to manage traffic, helping places in the country side where the water rose to half a meter. it's the 4th or 5th time that i've had to change my quotes today. i don't have fresh talks left. i'm out of clothes because of the dire situation in google has also drawn extra professional hands from other parts of the country. on amazon, the situation is quite desperate. know, the whole region of emilio, ammonia is suffering from something really quite unimaginable. the resources are what they are, but we try to do what we can with what we have for residents, like valentina cut. all these help is usually welcome. she was walking this morning by knock on the door 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 it was the kitchen. i just hope it's not too long, but she was getting residents to safety is the priority and it leaves flop total region. everything is, can we a dw correspondence on it found out kinds of files that a report is invalid here right now and she updates it, does it really? i'm on the outlook for this in, on days at region. well actually it's been raining here to the um, in bologna, uh, and uh, in the greater metropolitan area here and, and green is expected to continue over the next few days. now, yesterday we were actually trying to reach the town of fence so which is about 50 kilometers, se off below, near which is one of the most affected areas in these floods. but that proved absolutely impossible because many of the roads here to either been blocks, but the authorities or something don't exist anymore because they are, you know,

completely under water. you know, yesterday we passed entire fields and when the phone feels completely so much, we sold gas stations completely under water. and that's how the people go where i find that report what the labels. why is it that completely dramatically we, we spoke to a few residents who said, you know, maybe of the sellers and gardens were drive by 1 pm local time yesterday. and they started putting up within minutes. we saw this, but it seems that people, some people, you know, trying to get all the cards from the mazda of the water. i do, of course, a big question. there is ways to box these weight goes, because literally everything there is under most of the w. sonya funding reporting serious president bush, all a saw has arrived in saudi arabia for the arab league. summit sob was welcomed by saudi officials on arrival at the main airport. in jetta, it's the 1st time in more than a decade that he's been invited to attend this summit. syria was ostracized, but most of the states following his thoughts, brutal in response to protest against his rule in 2011, empty and suing civil war,

that's killed some 350000 people is returned to the $22.00 member club of nations is another signal that syria and sods installation seems to be ending. syrian state tv captured the moment special rolla side came in from the cold. i saw the diplomat ton delivers his invitation to rejoin the arrow bleak. a dramatic turning to ryan for the pariah president accused of butchering his own people. defending the control the sea, the arab league said it was about opening a channel of communication, the mama and on my far return of syria is the beginning of a movement. no name of a man and a good art in 2011, aside, faced nationwide on race and a direct challenge to whose diagnostic grip on power you sent in the army,

unleashing a bloody civil war that has claims. half a 1000000 lives on said millions leading syria aside was placed under sanctions. and ostracized by the international community with the war ongoing. the us says nothing has changed. good afternoon, everyone. happy monday. we have been consulting with our partners about their plans and making clear that we will not normalize relations with the side regime and that our sanctions remain in full effect for us side. it's not just doors abroad that are opening doors at home to those that called earlier this month he hosted his a waiting encounter pocket while one of his countries closest allies. it was the 1st such visit since the war broke out. more evidence, perhaps, of a broad diplomatic stall. he wasn't dw news, he has a reminder of our top story to separately, there's

a meeting in hiroshima, japan for a summit likely to be dominated by russia's invasion of ukraine. and china is growing global, and then also expected to announce further sanctions on most of your friends, presidents and lensky is expected to join the leaders in person. and that's it from me and the news team for an out bound to go away. i'll talk film is up next and on the eclipse mckinnon will have a world news update for you at the top of the next. thank you very much for watching the loudest voice. my a, my ceiling is out. she's the face of a protest movement. she's there motivator and she won't give up no matter what the she is nomic for public took my brother hostage a few days ago.
