to our to 1st document treat deep see greed starts to date on d, w the this is the w news live from the live g. something lead is a green new measures against russia. at the summit in japan, they pledge to prohibit russian access to technology, equipment and services that could aid it's for gains to print, the printing presses, and the modem is lensky is expected to join the latest in us. and also coming up on the program syrian president shaw saw arrives in jetta to attend the arrogant

league summit and being a decade regional isolation for his ration the menu chips and again. and thanks for being with us. leaders of the well, the most powerful democracies have agreed to new sanctions on rusher at the g. 7 summit in japan as a group pledge to prohibit russian access to technology, industrial equipment, and services that could aid it's war against ukraine. ukrainian president of them is the landscape is expected to join the leaders in passing ahead of their official meetings. in hiroshima, the leaders visited the cities peace pock. it's a memorial site to the 10s of thousands of people killed by the 1st atomic bomb, which was dropped by the united states during the final days,

as well as what c d w 's chief international editor, richard will k is in her russia. and i asked him, what g 7 leaders hope to achieve with the new measures against russia? yeah, well, 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 uh, clamping down on contravene names, sanctions that already exist. so trying to make sure that for instance, he likes the technical equipment and cannot get into russia by a 3rd countries rather than the countries of origins. or, for instance, trying to make sure that russian bank branches also in the countries cannot be used to funnel funds into russia. so, contravention of sentence, i'm trying to, to kind of plug any 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 spin

a of the russians. they haven't been a focus of sanctions sofa and the different members of the g 7 going at different speeds to the 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 diamonds, also a sensitive issue in countries such as india was so so representative here at the g 7. so. so a crackdown on a new area that as well. but i think overall, the message coming from the g 7 on ukraine is pretty much more of the same, most support for you train supporting it. and particularly as it moves towards his high anticipated account or offensive. and also trying to close any gaps and tighten the screws further on russia and maintaining the message the when at whatever point it might be. if it does get to a point of peace towards the dates you crane, that must be setting the agenda. those piece towards that they don't want the russians to be so in any position it to dictate the terms. it's being confirmed now

that the ukranian president of the modem is lensky will be attending the g 7 summit in person. can you explain to us what's, what he will be trying to achieve by actually being that and meeting with other leaders face to face? well, of course, i mean that we've seen this room for letting me zalinski. he has been venturing out to view, train more in recent months. he's been in the united states. he's been in various countries in europe. and of course, this gave us 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 stands on the wall sofa. and the rank promote the, the, the indian prime minister due here over the weekend. easy amendment 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 a lot of use it 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 most a hedge and an over bringing into this will that would be a major achievement, so let's do so. definitely amazing to watch closely. us the don't use a richard. ok in hiroshima. now before traveling to japan for the g 7 summit to the

ultimate zelinski landed in the jetta, saudi arabia. he's led to address the arab league summit. the printing president will discuss his proposed peaceful media as well as energy strategies are of nations have remained largely neutral over russia's full on ukraine with many and maintaining close ties to moscow. and that's including the syrian president of shaw, i'll aside, who is also attending the summit. and saudi arabia is the 1st time in more than a decade that a side has been invited to attend the summit. syria was ostracized by most are of states following a sides, brutal of response to protests against his room in 2011 on the ensuing civil war. that has killed an estimate of 350000 people. now his return to the 22 men, the group is another signal, the serious isolation is ending. in spite of its continuing civil, 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 a good, a r y in 2011 assad face nationwide on race. and a direct challenge to whose diagnostic grip on power you said to me, army unleashing a bloody civil war that has claimed half a 1000000 lives on said 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 earlier this month. he hosted his a really and counterpart to why one of his country's closest allies. there was the 1st such visit since the war broke out. more evidence perhaps, of a broader diplomatic stall. or at least lessing depths of now being consumed in the northern s and e, which has experienced its was flooding in a century. rescue efforts are underway in the worst effects and regions where unknown a number of people. a still fed trapped authorities are still trying to assess the full scope of the devastation. the rain is less intense now,

but the flood horses are showing little sign of receding, dw correspondence on your phone, the call go to 1st time. look at the situation simply on the adult. wait danger for may of the sellers of mirrors. i've never seen anything like it and my whole life must be most. salvatore hasn't been themselves ever since. walter level begins rising this afternoon in this village. if you go in italy's northern floods, immediate romani, a region within was what does it consume? the council and some of those neighbour middle course kitchen outside the reading has stopped. but to mention overflows from sweden, 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 the strides and bean to contact the fire service for him. but he 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 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 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 site for the water rose to half a meter. it's the 4th or 5th time that i've had to change my clothes today. i don't have fresh thoughts left. i'm out of clothes. so if it's uncomfortable, 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 cody health is usually when she was walking this morning by not 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 of the we can speak now to the w use. sonya found the causes fall that report. she's joining us now from the town of

but it's been proving very difficult to get this. many of the roads are blocks, but the authorities. oh, they simply don't exist anymore because they are under water. we've been possibly foster of the countryside where we've seen lots of so much. feels of vineyards, completely under water, even gas stations, underwater. we did manage to get to the village of google yesterday with what the rules dramatically because of flooding into river, east and west of the city. the water is, you know, really sticking out the sea and really in beat of the village center yesterday. we're hearing that many people are still 5th track. can you give us a sense of how the rescue operations are going of the wood. there is a huge rescue operation on the way on the way we've seen you don't eunice, off these had an army in the coast guard. were all taping in several towns and villages that all the way here to get on helicopters in the air, trying to rescue the citizens traps and rooftop i'm from the upper floors. we've
