the, the, this is dw dues live in from berlin tonight to forgive and forget or maybe not seriously joining the family of error of nations. president bush alice thought was welcome back to the year of leak, today, after a 12 year suspension over the civil war. in his country, also coming up tonight,

another new phase of the air leak summit. you craig's president, modem is the landscape, stopped by lobbying for closer ties and calling out those who have turned a blind dog. and zalinski also do to meet g 7 meters in japan on sunday. they've already agreed on new measures against russia, pledging to block access to equipment and services that could help in the war against ukraine. the hybrid golf is good to have you with this on this friday, syria's president bush a l. a saw and has been welcome to back to an arrow bleak summit in saudi arabia. in the 12 years of isolation in the region, syria, you may remember was suspended from the league back in 2011 in the wake of the bloody repression of the arabs spring protests that sparked a decade long civil war. so the crown friends mohammed been solomon pushed for

a side to join the talks taking place today in jetta in the us to feel various renewed hope for error error as well as the error regional and international approach meant brought in by the summit. one of the item and i hope it will signal a new phase and error coordination and solidarity among us when a female dana and peace and prosperity in our region. instead of war and destruction and mean out of how to do a demo. which would mean here the big table now is because the analogy is a middle east expert with the battles men foundation. it's good to have you here with this again, everyone looking at this and asking why and why now, why is the error of league, right? yeah, i'm going to say rehabilitating bush alto side is that what they're doing? a couple of countries in the early did not did not to cut through nations with the regime. the last 12 years up to countries did is i just hope you already view and

saudi arabia, jordan, egypt, and others, you know, they, they, they hope that's getting, getting the regime or the bus route as a back to the, to the or a family. would that would give them more diplomatic influence in the country that by charlotte side will distance his uh, his ties with the rudeness and you, ron, that he will control the smuggling or stop the smuggling of drugs into other arab countries. and that he may take refugees back to syria. this is what they hope and, and, and, and, and especially jointly, which is a very pro, pro western country. it says it says open the, we, we, we did not succeed in these 3 objectives by isolation. let us try it by political, by political talk. all right, this is fortunately not our or european and western attitude about the business. now the eric eric own efforts to try to, to set the conflicts in their own reach. and what, what did you make sense of what

a, so i've said today, or a sub blames, you know, the, the, the, the costs of the, of the civil war for terrorism. you know, that he's not responsible. he is responsible for hundreds of thousands of, of a, of, of, of his own people. he has expelled half of the population either in the country or the broad 1100000 syrians are having their refuge here in europe. so they are that there is a huge responsibilities on his shoulders. and when the west, when the west supports the international criminal court, it's using or indicating president 14 for war crimes and ukraine or so i said would be someone who had to make responsible for his more crimes at the international criminal court. we know that bush alongside is still under international sanctions, including from the arab league. are we now closer to seeing those sanctions being lifted. the jordanian government says this is now is symbolic

sign for for a shot on assets, it will be promoted to be reinstalled. and finally, now we has to show progress towards us. maybe they, they've going to invest in syria may be that their own economic restraint is going to be removed. it's, it's to be observed. brent uh, what the regime in, in the mosque was, is really, is really uh um giving as a compromise for their arab neighbors. but we also know that the president of you create a little bit zalinski, he was at that meeting today. i want you to just take a listen to part of what he had to say today. hm. your brand new house has never shows in the war. as our thrills didn't go to other lands. we do not engage in unexcused, this plunder of other nations resources. but we will never

submit to any ford in theirs or colonizers. that's why we fight, and i'm sure all your nations will understand this. our main emotion. and i'm also sure all your nations will understand the main goal. i want to live here in jetta and noble goal to all of you to help protect our people, including you create m mosley community. as he is speaking, there with the moral authority on his side saying to them, you know, this is what has been done to us. we have not done this to the russians. and yet, he's also asking, so why haven't, haven't we've seen more resolve against vladimir, put it's, it's quite a diplomatic crew that saudi arabia, who's the host of the arabic summit. and mom had been side mine on the one hand, they have invited by charlotte on the other end at the same time. yeah. is the

lensky just to show, you know, we are not picking side neither to a side stronger with rusher. neither just with an excuse strong over the west. wonder who's using whom though you're right. it's it's, it's like what you're saying, but it's interesting or maybe a has just hold it raving for a minister was couple of months ago in keith. here he is giving a quite a lot of money on the journey, an agent to ukraine. he has been involved in negotiations with, with the, with the slips of off, off, off, off a soldiers catch it. and i'll be available. but once to show its diplomatic weight, not just regionally, but also globally, zelinski has 3 messages. the one is, i know that a lot of our countries are very close to russia. who's i'm aware about this 2nd, but he says, you know, we are, we are trying to, to, to go to get rid of the occupation of our country. you should support us. and

thirdly, he reminds you know that they are crim, top top of the muslims. you know they are your religious brothers, you should support us because of that. and then brent, it's very interesting. he was reminding that i think this is one of the key points or eric countries are relying on food exports from ukraine and russia. more even from ukraine, this is not just read it's, it's, it's, it's a, it's, it's me, it's, it's fruits, it said it's, it's a some follow all the lot. give it to you just give it almost a 100 percent of its great. yeah. just all right, so they should, they, he says, look guys, you know, we, we have formulations, you know, you should help me so that, that we can reinstall all economic ties and, and, and your food exports of cheaper than now let me ask you, we got like 20 seconds, so do you think he's going to get any help from the or bleat? yes or not. what do you think? i think that's how they are going to be, is going to support the ukraine. but at the same time will not lose ties with russia. all right,

there's nothing we appreciate you coming in excellent analysis and we'll see you next time. thanks also it always appears. i think i read. all right, here's a look now, some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world, this hour, more than a 1000000 people have been displaced by the more in sudan that's according to the united nations refugee agency. the figure includes about $250000.00 who have left the country as well as those displaced internally. hundreds have been killed in fighting between rival generals. emergency crews are battling a wildfire in western spain. that's worth hundreds of people to leave their villages. authorities suspect arson is behind the blaze near the border with portugal. strong winds or hindering efforts to extinguish the flames. evacuation efforts still underway in northern italy. follow me, the worst flooding there in a century. at least 14 people have died more than 15000 have been forced to flee their homes, rescue efforts or be hindered by flood waters and land slides which is cut off many

roads in the area. the 1st direct flight from russia to georgia since 2019 has been met with protest that to police these international airport. moscow recently lifted a band on flights despite for relations between the 2 countries. russia impose the band almost 4 years ago after a wave of anti kremlin protest in georgia. a showing as present as agent being has laid out in beijing plans to develop trade and infrastructure in central asia. she is hosting the leaders of 5 countries in the region for 2 days of tall being well as we've heard, leaders of the g subbing group of advanced nations are meeting in japan. the or in ukraine is dominating the talks in the city of erosion of the world's biggest economies. they promise to tighter sanctions, more sanctions against russia, a symbol of the catastrophic consequences of nuclear war. the peace memorial park

in hiroshima, the 1st atomic bomb was dropped by the us in 1945, a compelling backdrop for the scouts of the g. 7 summits in japan. at the top of the leaders mines was likely not only the devastation of the past, but also letting it, putting that he's continuous reminders of russia's nuclear capability. the g seven's host japanese problem is that to me. okay, so the once this summit to be a balance or commitment to a world with no nuclear weapons, the sad reality hanging over this so much in hiroshima, you said the ukraine war is 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 a tunnel question of what's happening now would put in ever having faded. if you

train had kept those weapons for the 2nd year in a row, russia's board and ukraine has the shadow discussions that the g 7 leaders have announced. further sanctions against moscow, including on the trade of russian diamonds and of promise for the unwavering support to keys ukrainian president below them is the lensky is expected to join them at the summit on sunday. stumbled it pretty much as a those are those very important things will be decided that the presence of our president is absolutely essential to defend our interests. so you start with this, i'm enough mosley. and that actually on the sidelines of the g 7 summit science key is also expected to meet their end, remotely awesome. an effort to convince the indian prime minister to shift his alliance from russia to ukraine as the war continues on the ground. as no like tough either on the diplomatic front would need to use georg monitors in hiroshima, he has more now on the 1st day of the g 7 summit, i must say really, i've covered

a number of, of these t 7, somebody. it's in the past and they've taken place in a brief time see side results and a remote mountain locations. but when it comes to speaking about nuclear disarmament, there is really no better place than he rush him off. the very place where the 1st atomic bomb exploded 1945, a killing of 140000 people in this very place where, where on 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 countries like north korea, that is expected to conduct another nuclear test, only under 2 hours flight away from here. that was the w's gable, much as they are reporting from hiroshima, japan, russia is wagner,

mercenary group is stepping up. it's a salt on the city of buckboard in eastern ukraine. the army, released, or footed, released rather by the ukrainian army, shows the destruction of the city and gross and fighting, and the surrounding countries on a russian at hilary pouting bass note as filled by a ukrainian drone. the russians have sped and other troops i munition and trying to take the best most of the 10 months of grueling and come about the controller on 90 percent of the state to the last pocket of resistance is being pummeled remorselessly. well that's outside the box mode. ukrainian motor team is returning fire. let's say there's interest kimball. the fire was intense this weekend. i'm not sure

if those people are forces pushed forward a little further with what stopped in the canal. come out, i mean it's hard to push them out of there too, but it's fine. we're working in session. the actual emission of it's good. they can find us. we fire at them and they return to fire without hitting us. despite its appear fire power, the soul just know that russia is not having it all its own way in recent days. ukrainian infantry have been advancing on both flags. the . what do you can footage filled by ukrainian soldiers? shows them clearing trenches with conquer nights in the shred, it force around bass modes. this close quarters fighting has eased the russian grip on the city. but it's not yet clear whether ukraine's long awaited spring offensive

will be enough to end rush its efforts to take the mood. the iran has executed. 3 men convicted of killing members of the security forces during anti government protests. the trio were accused of carrying out the attacks last year in the central city of is for hyman, human rights groups have condemned the executions. they say that the men's confessions were obtained under duress and by torture. the protest began last september, following the death of a young woman who was being held by police for allegedly not wearing her job. correct. also that home of a more now i'm joined by unified allow me from data be used for see service. she's been following this story for us either for let me ask you these 3 men who were executed. why now do we know to yeah,

the judiciary system of this, the public just announced this more morning that these 3 young men there executed in the it's a 100 reasons and their, their accusations like killing 2 messages and one of the security forces. but as you mentioned before, all of these accusations were based on for some patients under torture and people and a lot of activities and then lots of human rights organizations also mentioned that there were no fair trial and it was somehow very fast. i mean, the processing of their cases was so fast and even it was according to the human rights organizations to just maybe take revenge from the people who are taking to the streets, or maybe to scare them to stop them being a, from participating in the protests. we knew that um for other protesters have been

hanged since december. what are a rainy? is it saying about this? mean? how are people in the country? how are they coping with these executions? i mean, the 1st reaction i can say there was a anger. what i can see from looking at the social media and talk to people is and they are very angry. but at the same time, they say that we do not push back. and we do not like that. they couldn't really scare us because, well, and nothing has been changed into society. i mean, regarding the economical situation and regarding the political situation, nothing has been changed and even everything got worse, i can say, and with disobedience cameron ross and debriefing women from their social rights. if they want to be in the public without a job, a, b,

a, b, c, during these mazda is after the process. so people say nothing has changed. so we don't, i mean be, or not trying to stop to taking to the streets, even though. right now we don't see many of 3, many process industries, but that's not gonna continue like that. and the other probably didn't just briefly do we know our women and school girls in the wrong are they still demonstrate? or i can say that the most raging might have changed and the shape, like we cannot see, many processed happening uh right now at the moment. but uh, there was a change in the shape that they are now like uh, steven, disobedient, that people are taking to the streets the don't think he job and the clothes think

that they are they want to baird and one for them. so. so now at the moment everything has changed and i and they, they all say that our site is, has been entered into a new phase. and that is a civil disobedience like mc w's boulevard. because i'm a bit dw, as far as the service. we appreciate the reporting tonight. thank you. thank you. the, the us basketball player brittany grinder is set to make her 1st appearance in the w n. b. a since returning from detention in russia. you may remember she was held there on drug possession charge of this past april grinder announced that she is working with bring our families home. a campaign formed last year by the family members of the american hostages and long fully held detainees abroad. brittany griner received a warm welcome when she returned to the court in

a w. n. b a preseason game. it was the 1st time she'd been back since being arrested in february 2022 in moscow. authorities had discovered big canisters with cannabis oil in her luggage. greiner spent nearly 10 months interest in prison after she pleaded guilty to drug charges see return to the united states in december after a highly publicized prisoner exchange. the extra exposure has given greiner a new platform in april c, announced she's working with bring our families home. a campaign formed last year by the family members of american hostages and run. so detainees held abroad. we're not going to stop. we're not going to stop by. we're not going to stop bringing awareness to everyone that's, that's left behind right now. she was already in l g,

b t q plus activist. and was the 1st openly gay asked me to be sponsored by nike. in july 2020 greiner said she didn't feel the national anthem to be played before w. m. b a games. but since her return from russia, she now says, hearing it quote, just hits different right, to talk more now about brittany grinders return to the w and b, i'm joined from portland by sports enterprise reporter, lindsey janelle, of usa today lives. it's good to have you with this, talk to me about the reaction to brittany gardner's return to the court job, but was it been like from around the w and da? and i think the around the, in the a people are just thrilled for the g to be back. you know, she's been an important piece about lead for years when she left it's, it's really crazy to think about the year she's spent in russia before that. and the 2021 final shoes are usually the best player in the league. and last year,

having her wrongfully detain really weighed on everyone, not just receiving the students, mercury, but across the lead. there were a letter writing campaigns, other players talked about her a lot and focused on getting her out. so when you look around the lead, now there is just a lightness. everyone is smiling. everyone's happy. they're just thrilled that she's finally back on the floor. yeah. and we heard her comments about the us national anthem and how it hits or differently now. and she's also said that she doesn't plan to ever leave the us again except to compete be olympics of this or deal? it's really affected her hasn't yes, of course. and i, i think we would expect that, right, you know, 10 minds being wrongfully detained in russia. she has not given a lot of details about what the data data experience was like, that's expected in the book that she's writing. but there's no question that it

took its toll. and so for a woman who she's a 2 time olympian, she's been a big part of winning 2 gold medals for the united states. a pass olympics for her to say that's where i'm going to put my focus now. so i think that really does make a statement. and i think there's going to be a lot of players who reevaluate where they're going to go. and if they go overseas, because numerous players to play them, russian played in other dangerous countries, but not to be changing going forward and what she's getting a lot of media attention right now. do you think that we're going to see brittany gardner use this platform that she has now for the long term? i mean if this the beginning of something big there's no question. there's no question. i'm not sure how much longer b g is going to play. she's 32, she's kind of like in the prime of her athletic career. so maybe she plays for 8 more years like her, one of her teammates and a trustee. maybe she retires earlier, but i think that for the rest of her life, she is going to use the platform that she has to fight to get other wrongfully

detained. americans released and back to their families. she has already brought so much awareness to the story of other people who have been wrongfully detained across the globe. that's not gonna change. and i think the va, which has a long history of activism, is going to be at the forefront in general with brand new or leading them. right to live these. now with usa today, we appreciate you taking the time to talk with us today lives. you thank you. of course. thank you. all right, let's check out now some of the other news stories making headlines and football don't start have secure promotion to the german bonus week after a one the a win against month to board on the 2nd. last match day of the season, the lilies are 6 points clear on top of the 2nd one is we give you the chase. there is no chance to catch the dumpster. return to the top 2 for the 1st time since 2017 in tenants ukrainian on lilia kelly mita has beaten veronica. who do,
