should restore its rule in healing wounds. you're not deepening them. yeah, i know what's most important is to leave internal affairs to be managed by its own people. if you've all been following 100 things, we have to prevent all external interference of the stuff i think might help. only one specifically asked to do so. back home in syria opposition health areas in the north teams was angry. parent testers who feel betrayed by the arab league. they still want a democrat of nation and assad out of power. how people know who they want to know . we are here because the error bleed shamefully trying to normalize this. how could they welcome a child killer and chemical weapons? user has an audio and he has destroyed syria and rom directions. how can you hear of leaders meet with this criminal, how we would almost studio, how about to do? yeah, awesome. so problem was i want to call about sadie crown prince mohammad been, so mon used to support the syrian opposition. but at the summit he struck

a different tone, saying he hoped that serious return to the air bleed would lead to the end of its crisis. a crisis which has killed nearly half a 1000000 people and displaced another 23000000. on the air blink summit also saw a surprise visit by ukraine's president bulletin were zalinski and his 1st trip to the middle east. since russia's invasion, he accuse some of the regions leaders of turning a blind item off scales aggression. air nations have remained largely neutral over the war and ukraine. many maintain close ties to russia, including syrian president, bus are all a side. so lensky reminded arrow bleeders that ukraine's own loveland minority had been affected by the war, starting with russia's illegal annexation of the crimea and peninsula. in 2014 u granules has never chosen the war. our throats didn't go to other lands. we do not engage in next seasons,

16 fighter jets to ukraine. that's been a key demand on keith's wish list. a symbol of the catastrophic consequences of nuclear war. the peace memorial park in hiroshima, when 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 the need to pretend that he's continuous reminders of russia's nuclear capability. the g seven's host, japanese prime minister tony oki sta once this summit to be about as a 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 a few cranes 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 putin 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, a somebody pretty much is are, those are those very important things will be decided that the presence of our president is absolutely essential to defend our interests. so, so, but the story with this, i'm not, not saying that actually on the sidelines of the g 7 summit science key is also expected to meet their end remotely. because of an effort to convince the indian prime minister to shift his alliance from russia to ukraine. as the war continues

to russia. and also he mentioned to the diamonds earlier, countries as agreed that they do not want to accept russian diamonds anymore. they also want to freeze assets of for us as the central bank. and so they really trying to present a united front here to make sure that the position with regard to russia and the one ukraine is very clear. so a united front when it comes to ukraine, but that doesn't apply to all topics on the agenda. does it yes, that's true. um actually compared to the topic of ukraine and russia. another very important topic, you know, china and taiwan has, has been, has become a kind of small comparison. let's do, of course, for the reason it's very important. and with regard to this topic, the opinions are bit divided. some countries are bit more accommodating when it comes to china. others like the us and japan also really trying to to show

a very kind of hard hotline, a sense when it comes to china. also with regard to the fights of jets, european nations have been asking the us for a long time to be more accommodating when it comes to this technology. and finally, know they've agreed to, to agree um, sort of have agreed to allow countries to, to send them to ukraine. but japan has invited 8 guess nations to the summit. most of them from the global south. what role of they expected to play at the meeting? now with the students could coming to the rushing mode, they're actually playing a much bigger role then maybe than what is beforehand. especially the meeting of some ask your ways with what is going to be of much interest to everyone. because it's kind of you, she's goal to to convince countries also go south that have been more neutral when it comes to the russian war. that they should really support that you
