4:03 pm
a baptist well into zalinski fashion. whenever he, you know, addresses for an audience he tries to find commonalities between the story of the ukrainian people and the story of the people that he's addressing. and who he is, he started talking about cry me and taught tarzan so. that's the muslim population of you know, the crimean peninsula and he said, you know, the 1st ukrainian victims of russian aggression were crimea. and tarzan, that's of course, because crimea was annexed by russia in 2014. and so the muslims of ukraine have been living under russian occupation far longer than ukrainians and other parts of the, of the country since the invasion began. so, you know, this is something that he always was trying to appeal to the commonalities, but between the people that he's meeting and his own. and of course, think the, the, you know, era populations for their support and ask for more support. and that's, you know, it's a tough audience cuz not everyone in the air believe not every country in the air. blake has supported. you create as much as zalinski would have
4:04 pm
a wanted some have maintain so called neutrality and strong relations with russia, egypt. and you know, an important member of the air believe was reportedly willing to send rockets to russia. and so it's an important, it's another opportunity for him to win hearts and minds for the cleaning costs. right, well, we'll come back to in a moment. but what we're going to do now is actually take a closer look at how bosher a side has returned to the arab league for the 1st time in more than a decade, decade securing his come back on the international stage despite a civil war grinding on in his country, the syrian state tv captured the moment special rela, 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 mona
4:05 pm
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 called earlier this month he hosted his
4:06 pm
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. while the arab leaks as inviting syria's president bush or on a side back to the summit is a bad opening, a channel of communication. i know you've just actually been listening to bus or other side speak a short while ago. tell us what he had to say. it was an almost a real moment to see who welcomed in that big room with all air leaders after a decade or so of the of the fight. it mean? he said he, he said a lot he had a lot to say. and the over arching scheme was that he wants to use this, you know, summit as an opportunity for arabs to unite against, you know, what he called for an intervention. he doesn't want for an intervention in the region, which is interesting because he has of course, maintain power, partially because of for an intervention because of rushes, you know,
4:07 pm
involvement in, rush the in, in syria's war. and of course, iranian support. she, you know, didn't really mention any specific, you know, specific countries by name, except to one of them was turkey. and he said that, you know, eric country should be united, i'm paraphrasing in curbing, you know, ottoman influence. and of course, he has an ongoing antagonism between turkish president richard type or the one who has been involved in the works, but not on the side of the regime. and he also talked about israel, which he has, of course, described as you know, the over arching enemy for the region. which is also interesting because of course, you know, in the 10 years that have elapsed a lot of error countries including both countries that are present, have normalized relations with israel. so, you know, you talked in a lot of vague, sort of overarching terms. but that was kind of the common kind of the overarching theme is lots of right for an intervention in this region that's full of for an
4:08 pm
intervention i guess. and uh, you know, this western germany is something that he also warns against. well, let's not forget also one thing that a certain remains actually under sanctions, and that's not only from western countries, but actually also from the arab league. so is it looking more likely or likely that the arab leak will lift those sanctions? i think that you know, what, given everything that's happened to you and everything that's been said that we can expect that to be the natural next step. i mean, rebuilding syria is thought to be, you know, it's going to be a huge undertaking. and i can imagine a lot of golf countries will be eager to invest in syria. now that you know, relations are starting to normalize. and this will, you know, this will help president bush, charlotte, that have even more leverage over these countries. you know, when it comes to issues like returning a syrian refugees back and also a regional geopolitical issues. i am always a pleasure at dw special correspondent, a bring all right, well,
4:09 pm
as we mentioned before, leaders of the g 7 group of advance nations are meeting in japan. the war in ukraine is dominating the toilets. and the city of hiroshima, the world's biggest economies have promised tighter sanctions against russia as a symbol of the catastrophic consequences of nuclear war. the peace memorial park and heroes shima were the 1st atomic bomb was dropped by the us in 1945, a compelling backdrop from the start of the g. 7 summit in japan on the top of leaders mines was likely not only the devastation of the past, but also allowing me to 14 and this continuous reminder of russia's new, clear ability. the g seven's host, japanese prime minister form york, you should to, once the summits to be about a commitment to a world with no nuclear weapons. the sad reality hanging over this. so i'll mention
4:10 pm
who russian, you said the ukraine war has on the school, that nuclear weapons remain as relevant as ever. not just because of letting me pushes thrice, but because of the history of ukraine's own nuclear weapons, which it gave up to russia in the 19 ninety's, leaving face the tunnel question of what's happening now would put in ever having faded. if you train have kept those weapons of russia's war and ukraine has for a 2nd year overshadow the discussions that the g 7 leaders have announced further sanctions against moscow, including on the trade of russian diamonds and have promised, further unwavering supports the keys ukrainian president of all of the me is the landscape is expected to join them at the summit on sunday. somebody pretty much is and those are those very important things will be decided that the presence of our president is absolutely essential to defend our interests. so we spoke to someone
4:11 pm
last mostly and that actually on the sidelines of the summit, zalinski is also expected to meet some there under moody, part of an effort to convince the indian prime minister to shift his alliance from russia to ukraine. so perhaps the most hotly anticipated and even consequential meeting of this entire g 7 summit this weekend, maybe one between 2 men who aren't even members of the g 7. larger, mr. lansky, underwriter moody. all right, well that's across now to japan where we're joined by dw use, get with mathis at live from here ross, you might go a great to see you. so tell us, what was your main take away from this 1st day of the g 7 summit. as i must say, really, i've covered a number of, of these t 7 some it's in the past and they've taken place in a brief time. c side results in a remote mountain locations. uh but when it comes to speaking about nuclear
4:12 pm
disarmament, there is really no better place than he rushing him off. the very place where the 1st atomic bomb exploded in 1945, a killing of 140000 people in this very place where i'm standing. and that is a message that was sent to day by the leaders commemorating at the memorial aside here. and that is a message that is sent out at the very time when you have countries like russia who are playing with this idea of using tactical nuclear weapons in the war in ukraine . and where you have country slight go to north korea. that is expected to conduct another nuclear test only under 2 hours flight away from here. now, gail leaders at the g 7, i've already decided to introduce further sanctions on russia. presidents, the landscape of ukraine wants to attend at the g 7 summit in person that's expected to be on sunday. so what is the actually hoping to achieve by attending
4:13 pm
the uh, for the landscape. of course this is not only a show of solidarity if you stance here. um in the rushing uh with the g 7 leaders, but it's also a commitment uh for the future. it's one thing to say we type in the screws, we focus on more sanctions. but it's another thing a to keep those sanctions in place if russia is, is not moving towards a piece. it's not, it's not ending this more. so that's one thing then another thing is, of course, uh, sideline events and a here at the key event will be um, that's the lensky meets the indian lead. a multi uh, one of the few people who is actually able to put a pressure on flooding me to put him in order to stop this war. and finally, there's always a room for the landscape to make new deals, for instance. so to get more weapons to the verge of from a g 7 nations to ukraine. derek g 7 power c, china increasingly as
4:14 pm
a threat to economic security. so how are they planning to reduce their dependencies on the world's 2nd largest economy? that's interesting because when it comes to sign off of the g 7 are very much on one page and their assessment of the problems. so for instance, if you look at the pandemic, everybody agreed that the dependencies on china, whether it's semi conductors, window frames or cheap a technological goods is just too high on the, on the country. now turning that assessment does mutual assessment into action is another question here. for instance, you have you that very much favors the approach of the risk being rather than the coupling. in other words, not pulling investments out of china, but interesting in other countries. for instance, the front line countries here being vietnam and indonesia. and we have also been invited to this summit so, so this is, yeah, this is one option. uh,
4:15 pm
another one is trade agreements. so that is where the us is not on the same price. uh so overall the answer is decreased dependencies by increasing cooperation with other countries. thanks. gale. oaks, dw asia, pacific bureau chief scout mathis in harass my 4th. all right, well you are up. today's coming up next to my colleague, chris cobra has your business news. um, we'll be back again at the top of the next hour. so thanks for watching and take care of the voice i am must see on the new jobs. she's the face of
