8:02 am
block its allies from transferring american made f, 16 fighter jazz to ukraine. those planes have been a key demand and key of wish list to lensky will also have a chance to hold face to face talks with leaders of countries such as india, which have remained largely neutral on russia's invasion of ukraine. a and d w's cheese international editor richard walker is covering the g 7 meeting in a row shima and he joins us now for more. so richard zelinski, as we know, is due to arrive in hiroshima shortly. and now that the u. s. presidential bible has announced to support for training ukrainian pilots and american f sixteens. can we expect that soleski is going to leave this summit with a pledge for western fighter jets? well, marietta, he's got a, everything bought that at this stage. so. so the, the americans opening the door to the saying that, that supporting the training and that when it comes to it,
8:03 am
they say within the next few months, once that training program is further advanced, then they will be discussing with countries that are interested in providing debt so we'll be talking to them about that and that it will not be blocking that so far the americans are saying that they won't be supplying any debt some selves. but we've seen this over and over in the last year and a half or so of the war that often you have west impact is saying at 1st we don't want to provide this weapon, but then when it comes down to it later down the road, they do end up supplying this weapons, so we'll see whether the us ultimately does supply them or not. but certainly countries like the netherlands in europe have strongly signaled that they want to provide ukraine with psychologists. but i think just as important to zalinski as getting the kind of the, the medium term green lights on f sixteens here in a rush, the minutes is those opportunities to meet leaders from the global's house, particularly in the rental mode. you the prime minister of india,
8:04 am
a very important play in the global status of the country that has close ties with russia and who's trying to keep out of a positioning itself very clearly on the wall so far. this will give so lensky his opportunity for the 1st face time with moody that he's had since the beginning of the war. so i think that's a very important meeting. one that will be watching very closely when it comes this . and now richard, we've also heard that the g 7 leaders rolled out some new sanctions on russia. what can you tell us about that? yeah, well i think it's really, it kind of like tightening the screws on russia is pretty much the message that we've had here so that there's quite a focus from all of the members. but the 7th saying they want to aim at the eye of contravention trying to sidestep existing sanctions. so the united states, for instance, they've announced a set of targeting entities or companies or individuals that they see is trying to help brush it by the back door, including some chinese companies on that list that. and also the very 1st moves
8:05 am
towards trying to tackle the diamond business, which the o, p and say is still true. a money spent is the extent of billions of euros every year for, for the russian economy. but not yet some outright find that seems to be a lot of homework still to do on that front. but overall, i think the message is coming from the g 7 to which ukraine is the best sticking with the frame. they're trying to tighten up wherever the sections to have gaps in between them. and uh, the message to us, the russians is that they will be tightening the screws as far as they can, for as long as they have to until that is complete, reaches a point where that can be some piece, tulips on ukraine's tons. so it does seem that the warren ukraine has been dominating the summit, but it is not the only topic that was discussed. china has been a rather complex issue. what were the discussions on china? yes, so china is very much a big issue. it was also
8:06 am
a big issue of the g 7 in germany last year, but, but it's, we've seen the tensions that have increased in the taiwan strait, just a 100 and just over a 100 kilometers from the southern most islands of japan. so very much in japan still set here. so the issue of china is getting great to all the time in terms of attention. so in the taiwan strait and also in terms of the economic and technology relationships that g 7 members have with china. and there's a buzz, what that's doing the round to being a russian with this idea of the risk and trying to take the risk out of the relationship with china, whether it's in economic terms. so there is some technological terms um, so we can expect to see that time coming up in the final lead is communicate which we're expecting over this weekend. with all of the countries seemingly kind of gathering around this idea that they want to reduce the risk of that relationship with china. they've seen the risk that, that over to reliance, for instance, on russian energy left the european team at the beginning of the ukraine war. they
8:07 am
want to avoid anything similar, in the case of china. so a lot of ice out will be watching for this communicate when it comes asked me exactly what kind of language the g 7 members have found. just how tough with child and they take on china. that was chief international editor richard walker for us in her ocean. richard, thank you so much. bye shar assad is back on the international stage. the syrian president joined fellow leaders that an arrow bleak summit in saudi arabia, and his appearance marks a new chapter. after 12 years of isolation, the league suspended syria and 2011 after our thoughts crack down an air of spring protests that set off a decade long civil war is a warm welcome back for the regions practical sun, the shower aside for more than a decade, he was a pariah kicked out of the arab league and isolated by most of the region for brutally repressing his own people in syria. but an outside or no more. aside was

8:09 am
in syria opposition health areas in the north teams was angry. parent testers who feel betrayed by the arab league. they still wanted democratic nation and assad out of power. the we are here because the arab league shamefully trying to normalize this. how could they welcome a child killer and chemical weapons user? we have 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 mohammed been so non used to support the syrian opposition. but at the summit, he struck a different tone, saying he hoped, at serious return to the airbag lead, would lead to the end of its crisis. a crisis which has killed nearly half a 1000000 people and displaced another 23000000. pharaoh blake
