after all, there are billions to be made. our chief document, very deep sea greed starts june 8th on dw, the . this is dw news lie from berlin. ukrainian president vladimir zalinski arrives in japan to join the 2nd day of the g 7 summit. the 7 leaders of the world's top democracy urged china to pressure russia to end it's for ukraine. the one spacing to support moscow's unconditional withdrawal. also on the sho. flooding continues

to ravage northern italy where tens of thousands of people are evacuated as authorities a struggle with the regions of worst plants in a century the . i'm married a isn't staying, it's good to have you with us. you courtney, the president. let him hear. zalinski has arrived in japan to attend the g 7 summit . he touch down and hiroshima after a short stop over and saudi arabia where he addressed the arab league. soleski is expected to seek further support for his country's defense effort against russia. this comes as a us says, it'll allow its western allies to supply you cream of training and a possible delivery of fighter jets. zalinski is attending meetings with the g 7 leaders, including italy as georgia, maloney, and the united kingdom's re. she's tunic

a w as cheese international editor or richard walker is covering the g 7 meeting and hiroshi mount. and i asked him about the significance of the cranial leaders appearance at the g 7 summit and what he hopes to achieve there. yeah, well it's certainly very significant. mariana, i mean, he's just coming from the arab league. of course we saw him on the eve of this visit to, to japan. so reaching out to countries that have not necessarily being very clearly on the ukraine side in this war sofa. and now coming to japan, a to meet the g 7, which is certainly a, you know, a grouping. this being among the strongest supporters for ukraine during the course of the school so far, but also equally worried, more importantly to meet some of the pot and the countries that are present here in japan. for this summit, it's thinking of new rent, remote, easy, a prime minister of india or the present brazil present lula. and both of those

countries have had a much more kind of the most unusual positions lula has shown some sympathy towards the russian position. the rank promoting has been studiously trying to avoid getting too much stuck into one side of the other of this call of this conflict. uh so lensky now having an opportunity to have face time with both of those lead. this is going to be hugely important if he can move to lead the needle of bad views, depositions on the war, a tool, he will see that as a significant achievement. and now richard, as well as keys arrival, comes just after the us presidential by announced that he supports the training of ukrainian pilots on modern american made jazz such as the f sixteens. so is the landscape going to leave this summit with a pledge to actually receive deliveries of this fighter jets of the?

well, he's got full most as good as that so. so the americans have said, yep, joe biden has said that the us will support the training for the use of these tests and also then down the road probably in a few months. one. so training a few training and pilots, it is by the accomplished then the transfer of jets to ukraine. i'm so probably some months from now and that's a significant waiting for the ukrainians. they've suddenly been ongoing subjects for the last several months. but we've seen this process repeated several times during the course of the war. we saw it last with, with tanks a few months ago that uh, that was the pressure at that time on. gem need to put to transfer the electric tank, which is a german made tank knit germany eventually came around to that. now we see the united states coming around on this subject to these s 2616 fighters, which is seen as the ideal fights a jet for you trying to obtain. so this process has been kind of ongoing in a series of different heavy weapons through the course of this war, but an important wind, certainly for the ukrainians that celeste,

who will be very happy to trumpet when he's here. and now we understand that the g 7 leaders issued their final communicate just a short while ago. can you tell us about that? yeah, so the communicate 40 pages long, everybody's pouring through this a lot of detail and also a lot of subjects. but i think i would pick out then what they're saying about china. this is being the other really big issue, i think for discussion at the g 7 here in japan this year. and i'll just read a couple of quotes from one of the key passages on china. i mean, it starts by saying that our policy approach is not designed to harm china. and nor do we seek to sward china's economic progress. so this trying to push back against chinese arguments that it sees the west is ganging up on it as trying to, to hold it back in the, in it imagines has a really serious global power. but then saying, i think we are not decoupling or turning inward. so rejecting some of the more

extreme arguments by kind of the most cool case views on china that the west needs really set a lot of economic ties with china. we take the same time, we recognize that economic resilience requires the risk inc. and now the risk is the new boswell that it seems that everybody in japan, the united states, europeans could all agree on in their approach to relations with china. so they need to try to eliminate as much of the risk and that relationship as they possibly can, both with respect to dependence on, on economic relations, whether it's china as a market. so your opinion or west goods or roles are china as a source for key role materials, such as wrap us important in electric cars for instance. but also in terms of technology, trying to prevent china from guessing important technologies the us has been trying to track down on that. so d risking is the new buzzword. i think one of the questions now going forward is,

does everybody actually think the same thing when they use the word, the risking? i think there's a lot of debate to be had that, but it's a pretty flexible time that the whole d 7 has been able to get around for that was the w as chief international editor of richard walker, covering the g 7 summit in hiroshima. and while world leaders apply pressure on moscow, it's more in ukraine grinds on rushes, wagner mercenary group is stepping up its assault on the city of buff. moved the east footage, released by the ukrainian army, shows the destruction of the city and the gruesome fighting in the surrounding countryside. rushing to tillery pouting bus mode as filled by a ukrainian drone. the russians have sped, not the troops now munitions and trying to take the best. most of the 10 months of grueling and combat they control around 90 percent of the city. the last pocket of resistance is being pummeled remorselessly.

well, that's the real outside bath 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 such a number for the mission of it's good. they can find us, we fire at them and the return fire without hitting us despite its appear fired power, the soldiers know that russia is not having it all its own way. in recent days, ukrainian infantry had been advancing on both sides the

body of cam footage, filled by ukrainian soldiers chosen clearing trenches with concord nights in the shred. it force around bass modes this close quarters. fighting as is the russian grip on the city. but it's not yet clear whether you cranes long awaited spring offensive will be enough to end russians efforts to take the mode. let's turn our attention to italy now where at least 14 people have been killed and what are being called the worst floods in a century. more than 15000 people in the countries north have been forced to leave their homes, and many are stranded with no electricity and dwindling food supplies. stories of call for residents to reduce their movements to a minimum. the same area was battered by extreme weather earlier in may was at least 2 people dying during storms. earlier i spoke to our

correspondence. sonya folic are in bologna, a and i asked her how things were looking in the affected region. when by the end of the situation, is it still very grim in the flood defective areas? it's going to rain that again. we were used to be in the tone of friend. so this is a small town about 50 kilometers a southeast of bologna and it has about $60000.00 inhabitants. and we got there to really dramatic feelings of a massive cleanup with the residents really covered in modern slugs using shovels and wipers, and fox and machines to pump out the water from flood to send those and basements, the shops there are completely destroyed. people have been evacuated from the ground floor apartments and the loan river there in that town, most of the banks the 2 days ago. for the 2nd time in the month. as you mentioned, it, lea, a lots of more than the experience, intense loving in or the me. and this is a scene that we single being repeated across towns and villages with over 20 of us

and canals. now i know to invest the banks. well, the clean up of course is one challenge, but as we understand there are still thousands of people who are stranded, how our rescue operations going to try and get those people to say for areas. it's your rights. i mean, there is a massive risky operation underway. but you're absolutely right that there are a major challenges authorities, your a speaking of more than 250 land slides in, in several regions. and we're getting reports of civil mountain. this village is still being cut off, so it's difficult to get risky teams in there and some places that are widespread. mississippi also just the phone lines adult, but dislike that there is an operation on the way, you know, yesterday when we went to fence. so we saw units of the time in the army and the coast guard out in several 1000 villages that a helicopter. as you can show them the sky risk and people from, from roof, from the upper floors that are also rescue teams were coming from other parts of

this if lead to pitch in huge groups. the volunteer is also helping to get people out. people to be evacuated to filters of the government. now set up in schools, engines and in small stadiums. so you mentioned the army has now been involved and the government has taking steps to set up shelters. how satisfied are people with the response of the governments to this disaster? what do we say to the mayor of uh fence i guess the um he basically said that, you know, his small town required of much more funds is really a large amount of funding from the state from the time government in order to cope with the magnitude of this, of this, this assembly telling government the certainly be criticized for not, you know, doing enough to cope with the challenges of climate change. it could be a seen a rise in the extreme, what the events and this is one of them that was the w correspondence on your phone or her reporting from northern italy. sonya,
