heritage side dw world heritage, 360 now the, this is the w news live from the and then as the annual g 7 summit gets underway in japan. you credits president lensky will address the gathering in person. and the leaders of the wealth tough economies face to face. also coming up on the program, iran executes 3 men. it says what implications in the death of 3 members of the security forces? the men had taken pawsman protests, spock's by the death of the young woman. syrian president bashar assad

arrives in jetta to attend the arab league summit, ending at the decades of regional isolation for his regime. the manuscripts mckinnon. welcome to the program. leaders of the world's most powerful democracies have agreed to new sanctions on russia at the g. 7 summit in japan, another group pledge to prohibit russian access to technology, industrial equipment, and services that could aid. it's what gains to craig, ukrainian, president of the modem is lensky is expected to join the leaders in passing ahead of their official meetings in hiroshima. and he does visited the cities peace puck it's up. memorial sites to the 10s of thousands of people kill of by the 1st atomic

bomb which was dropped by the united states during the final days of world war 2. i'm from what we're doing now by the w's chief international editor, richard ok, who joins us live from hiroshima high the richard. now the g 7 we're hearing has agreed on these new measures to quotes stuff. russia's will machine. can you tell us a little bit about what they all yeah, well and yeah, i mean there are a couple of different sort of sets of emphasis in what the g 7 are being talking about today. on the one hand, there's quite a bit of emphasis on a clamping down on contravene named sanctions that already exist. so trying to make sure that for instance, united technical equipment cannot get into russia by a 3rd countries rather than the countries of origin offering. since trying to make sure that russian bank branch is also in the countries cannot be used to fund or

funds interruptions. so contravention of sentence, i'm trying to, to kind of plug in the gaps in the sanctions regime that have been observed in recent months. that's one side, and then there are some areas which are fresh, for instance, the dime business. so diamonds is still quite a big money. it's been a of the russians. they haven't been a focus of sanction sofa. and the different members of the g 7 going a different speed, c, c, u, k, for instance, immediately selecting a band on inputs of russian diamonds. the you're saying that they're moving to restrict the diamond trade dime is also a sensitive issue in countries such as india. we so so representative here at the 7 so, so a crackdown on a new area that as well. but i think overall, the message coming from a g 7 on ukraine is pretty much more of the same most support for ukraine supporting it. and particularly as it moves towards is high anticipated a counter offensive. and also trying to close any gaps and tighten the screws

further on russia and maintaining the message the, when it would have a point, it might be if it does get to a point in piece towards that, it's ukraine, that must be assessing the agenda. those piece towards that they don't want the, the russians to be in any position to, to take the tubs. it's being confirm now that the ukranian president below them is the lensky will be attending the g 7 summit in person. can you explain to us what, what he will be trying to achieve by actually being that and missing with other leaders face to face as well? of course, i mean we've seen this from, for letting me soleski. he has been venturing out of ukraine more in recent months . he's been in the united states. he's been in various countries in europe. and of course, this gives a, you know, the weight to the message that he's bringing out the. i think the appeal have come to asia is obvious, that he's not just talking to the west to the europeans,

to the north americans that, that he's engaging with asia to japan's prime minister for me, of fishy to, has been in ukraine recently as a lensky coming here now, but i think was quite interesting is perhaps the most attractive and the most important elements of these flows. the landscape is the opportunity to speak not to the g 7, but to the very spot in the countries that are represented here. for instance, i think 1st and foremost, india, a country that's been trying to maintain a pretty neutral stones on the wall sofa and the rent for moody the, the indian prime minister due here over the weekend. and you minute in the media reporting that the 2 men will have a bilateral meeting, a head to head meeting here in japan. so i think that's one of the interesting things about this. we can, perhaps, the most important meeting of the entire weekend is between 2 men who are not even members of the g 7th. but if luxury is a lensky couldn't couldn't find any way to try to nudge the rental modi into a position where he tries, for instance, to put some pressure on the russians of a,

you know, the months ahead and, and over bringing into this will, that would be a major achievement, so let's do so definitely amazing to watch closely. ok, now russia since inviting ukraine has repeatedly alluded to using nuclear weapons. and this is d 7 summit is of course taking place in the city where the wells 1st atomic bomb was dropped. so can you give us a sense of how this very strong symbolism is playing out at the summit? yeah, i mean, sorry, it's symbolic. and yeah, i mean, that's august 6th 1945. that 1st and due to a bomb dropped to nangle. land is just behind me here, and you can see the dome that has become the symbol of a rush. i'm a in the, what's called the piece parts here in hiroshima formulation to the japanese apartments that comes from hiroshima. so, so nuclear weapons and moving to a well without nuclear weapons is by much a signature issue for him. he took the lead is doubt that at the beginning of the

day on friday. um. but the question is, will this really move beyond the symbolism? because the, the lead is, will be assigning up to a statement on nuclear weapons. but is it the reality that the world is facing at the moment in ukraine is seeing that nuclear weapons do seem to be as relevant as ever. not just because letting me approaching has, has been threatening to use them, but also because of the history of nuclear weapons and ukraine that ukraine came out of the soviet union in the 1990s with soviet nuclear weapons on his territory, it gave up those nuclear weapons to russia and russia has now broken the deals of that era and invaded you train. and of course, it raises the question, well, what might have happened if you creighton has never given up those weapons? so i think this is overshadowing to some extent, what is otherwise, of course a very strongly symbolic message, but she,

she hopes to emanate from hiroshima on nuclear weapons this weekend and thank so much for that analysis. that's richard walker dw, she's international editor us now. the peace puck in hiroshima which will lead is visited, is the main official memorial to the nuclear bombing of the city. and the next report looks at a much more personal form of historical witness and 84 year old survive of the nuclear attack, who welcomes visitors into how to talk about her experiences. the guess so always welcome to visit to chico tanaka in hiroshima. and you visits has arrived almost every day. the full year old has turned to the house into a meeting place. today, people have come full away from britain. huddled. ned,

we go to kind of i survived the 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. in american airplane of heat in the sky, this is followed by blinding light. she was 2 kilometers away from way the bomb did tonight that she suffered painful dance. what was the physical? i'm not this what the titles look 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. mccarthy killed the lay down and died and said that there were bodies everywhere she has since told her story to

people from many countries to she cried, 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 their message and nicholas we were talking on a video call. i said, sadly, 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 i need to discuss that head of the meeting of g 7 industrial nations, in hiroshima, 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? let's go and then what else do you need now?

does the noise like well, that 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 the children's peace monument in here, a shame is peace memorial park. many of the victims were as young as touch equal to knock, it was then she says she also speaks for them. it's a contribution to a piece this error owns judiciary has concern that it has executed 3 men. it says what implication in the death of 3 members of its security forces, majid, cuz amy sullivan, their hot shimmy and said you're going be were accused of drawing a gun during the process last year in the central city of it's funny. the process was sparks by the death in custody of gina marshall. i mean, a,

who'd been arrested for an alleged breach a female dress code families and supports us withheld nightly vigils outside the prison in which the men were being held in the state and national set. the men's trial was flawed and used to quote, portrait painted concessions, has come on. my son is a senior electra and international relations at sussex university on the next, but on a rainy and a politics. thanks so much for joining us here on the d. w, could you tell us more about these 3 men who have now been executed? well, at least 3 months, so let me hush. i mean budget causing inside the apple the were charged with the mother of 2 members of the part of me to treat best. each force which is closely related to i, r g c. and a senior officer of iran slowing former inforcement force back in november 2022 at

the heights of the women life freedom protests in iran. and they have been brought into uranium state tv to make concessions regarding the alleged crime and decidedly this morning, the execution of our county that was carried out despite widespread protest, both inside and outside the wrong had to stop this execution. can we talk about the trials in which these 3 men were found guilty of human rights groups are holding them unfair and a saying, the men, what torture can you give us any more information or indeed, one of the executors persons had actually sent an old your file from prison. this was smuggled out in which she, it clearly said that they were tortured and all the confessions were obtained on the, on the tow. cham pressure more over the main, a suspect in this case. so let me assure me who was accused of shooting these

offices. the weapon in question was never found and there was no evidence that the bullets shots belong to the claims of what punish from, from this person. and so many lawyers and legal experts within their wrong had questioned the trial. they didn't have their own according to the lawyers. and that must be, must be said that this is twice assigned as procedure in uranium. traditionally, when it comes to, especially political crimes, there is never actually a jew process, and the main evidence usually is concession, which is always taken on the suspicious circumstances are often under torture. and this is quite known to human rights organizations. since the spouse of the iran has witnessed a surge in executions on a variety of charges. can you explain why there's being such a sharp increase as indeed in 2022 iran has it has executes of

nearly 582 people which is showing 75 percent increase compared to the year before and this year up to now and you are still not halfway through the year, more than 259 executions have happened. and i think this can be explained primarily by the by reference to the fact that is let me go. public normally tries to bring the population to submission during protest times or turbulent periods. through a sewing fee or through increased execution, some of this have taken place in public. so i think this is more than anything else. in fact shows the, the insecurity and weakness of the system was of the growing popular discontent. which uh, for the time being is, is you know, nothing expressed on the streets like last winter. but i think there was room is worried about a resumption of filters and definitely wants to uh,

basically and tell me that the people into, into quietness. and yet of course, there are still many people being held in prison in iran and connect to with these anthony anti government protests. what does this mean for them as well as christ and a huge amount of things, logic for themselves and their families. and given the arbitrary nature of, of this trials and executions. and generally, the fact that the uranium traditional system is, is not independent. a total under mounting evidence of the way in which the judges actually collaborates with. with our gc and security forces, they simply repeats the other charges which, which those forces actually can you know, claim in relation to the accused. and that the whole system is extremely unfair when it comes to that especially political trials. but their name also seems to try

to show its social based, which is extremely narrow or, or how strong call the device. and he is that they are basically defending them. i'm trying to convince them to continue supporting them, especially their own security forces to carry out a restless refreshing of protesters. so there are multiple um, reasons for, for what's going on in the wrong, but especially the, the, the, the growing discontent within the running population of games. these allow me to pull up the cover on come on lawson from sussex university. thank you so much for your time today. thank you. of the syrian president bush, all a side has arrived in saudi arabia for the arab league summit. a sod was welcomed by saudi officials on arrival of the main airport and jetta. this is the 1st time and what was in a decade that he's been invited to attend the summit. there it was ostracized, by most our states following assess brutal respondents to protests,

against his rule in 2011 and the ensuing civil war that killed some 350000 people. his a ton to the $22.00 member club of nations is another signal that syria and asides isolation is ending. the 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 mana n o my father retired of syria, is the beginning of a movement, no name of a man, and cut off in 2011, aside, faced nationwide on race. and a direct challenge to whose diagnostic grip on power to send to the army unleashing

a bloody civil war that has claimed half a 1000000 lives and sent millions, leading syria aside, was placed under sanctions. and ostracized by the international community with the war on going, 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 send them because this month he hosted his a weight in counterpart to why one of his countries closest allies. there was the 1st such visit since the war broke out. more evidence, perhaps of a broader diplomatic soft so let's take

a look now to some of the other stories making news around the world. more than a 1000000 people have now been displaced by the rule and sit down that's according to the u. n. refugee agency. the latest figures include around 250000 people who have flipped the country in addition to those displaced intimately, hundreds of been killed. i'm thousands wounded since slicing began in april. depended on, says it overestimated the value of military aid that the united states has provided to ukraine by at least $3000000000.00 of your power and accounting error could allow the us department of defense to send weapons to keep without asking congress for additional funding. thousands of is really nationalist, says march through occupied east jerusalem. the annual jerusalem day event monks is rails capture of the old city during the 6 day war in 1967, resulting in an annexation that is known internationally recognized as rails for

right national secure seat, minnesota. it's in melbourne because they attended the raleigh palestinians fees and much as a provocation. now at least seeing this have now been confirmed in northern italy, which has experienced its was flooding in a century rescue assets or underway and the worst effected regions were on the number of people off the attract was overseas, are still trying to assess the full scope of the devastation, the rain is less intense now, but the flood was a showing little sign of proceeding, dw correspondence on your phone call. go to 1st time, look at the situation simply on the force of the adobe to danger. from the sellers of matters. i have never seen anything like it to my whole life as a prima. must be most of the door hasn't been themselves ever since walter level begins rising this afternoon in this village, you go. it leaves northern flow to it, immediately romani our region. within was,

what does it consume the ground floor and some motions, neighbor, middle course kitchen outside the rain has stopped. but to rain should overflows from swollen rivers and controls. continue discussion to villages in the region, wreaking havoc and putting the stream on emergency services. such as the door, a mechanic who lives on the sea floor. upper floor says the strides and bean to contact the fire service for him, which is a bit to check your market. but on this 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. the pin, a themes of warranty 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 and isn't sure

what does happen to his own home. that offers that's been helping to manage traffic, helping places in the country sites where the water rose to half a meter. it's the 4th or 5th time that i've had to change my clothes to day. i don't have fresh thoughts left. i'm out of closed 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 and know the whole region of amelia romano 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 coyote help is usually what she was working 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, i hope to return soon,
