ukrainian children and civilians. more than 90 heads of state and governments are attending. it makes it the largest world leader gathering solely focused on ukraine since the invasion began more than two years ago. but russia has not been invited and china is not attending. sarah rainsford filed this report from day one at burgenstock. shattering the peace of a swiss mountainside for the cause of peace in ukraine. volodymyr zelensky came to meet delegations from all over the world, coming together here to begin seeking out a path towards ending the war waged by russia. talking peace is new territory for kyiv, but now, it's seizing the initiative, hoping for a broad global alliance that can help push for a settlement on ukraine's terms. 101 states and international organisations are now at this summit and this is a tremendous success, our success, the common success of all those who believe that a united world, united nations, are stronger than any aggressor. russia wasn't at the summit because ukraine believes scenes like this show vladimir putin's not interested in peace, just destruction and domination. only this week, he called on kyiv to capitulate if it wants a ceasefire. do you think that the west has been too scared of vladimir putin to actually help ukraine defeat him? well, i'm pleased that the uk has played a leading role in providing support to ukraine, the first country to provide lethal aid, more recently, under my leadership, the first country to provide main battle tanks, long—range weapons, to train air force pilots. that demonstrates the strength of support for ukraine. ukraine's close allies will have to go on doing all that, even as they support the stirrings of a peace process that would have to involve russia too at some point. we are looking for the possibility, if thisjoint plan will be ready, it will be possible to invite a representative of russia and represent this plan. but this is very important, together with all countries, maybejust more, and it will be open dialogue. the gulf is huge. the chances of bridging it seem so remote. but far from the devastation in ukraine, perhaps there's a faint glimmer of hope. sarah rainsford, bbc news, lake lucerne. let's speak to paul d'anieri who is a professor of political science at the university of california, riverside. thank you very much for being with us. ~

but is important in that and very significant number of countries has gotten together to reaffirm what is essentially ukraine's position on a peace negotiation for quite some time, which is at peace has to include ukraine's territorial integrity. that is a pretty important marker to be putting down at this point in the war. you mention the absence of russia. what about the absence of china? how

choosing to take russia's side in the war, i don't think it is especially surprising. this is really a gathering of countries that support ukraine or at least willing to think about supporting ukraine. and so china clearly is supporting russia in this war and so they are not going to be there. the measures _ are not going to be there. the measures they _ are not going to be there. the

west or the ukraine's allies will continue to back it, whereas the west and ukraine's allies are trying to see how long russia can and will get as many of its people killed as it is getting. one big part as a power in these countries. i think russia hopes elections will put some people in power who will be more amenable to resolving the war on terms favourable to russia. our much to think what was set out at the g7 summit, the us — ukraine bilateral deal if you like, how much will that cement in equipment and so on coming to ukraine and perhaps mitigate the effects of an election change? yes, this is a really important point because i think there is a lot of fear that if donald trump wins this election, that he will cut aid to ukraine. i am actually less certain about that than a lot of people are but what this agreement is doing in a way is trying to make it harderfor another administration in the united states to walk away from ukraine because terminating this agreement would be seen as capitulating to russia, and so it is a lot of what is going on in this war now in the to any negotiations that could take place as both sides trying to convince other of their willingness to stick with it for a long time and endure a very high cost, and that ten year commitment is a very important thing for them in that respect.— important thing for them in that respect. paul, thank you

israeli army said the incident occurred during what it called �*operational activity�* in the city of rafah in southern gaza. the armed wing of hamas said it had fired a rocket towards an armoured vehicle after setting up an ambush israeli forces have been attacking rafah for weeks, saying hamas�*s last remaining battalions are based there. the hamas—run health ministry in gaza says 30 palestinians have been killed in the past 2a hours. our middle east correspondent hugo bachega filed this update late on saturday. this is one of the deadliest incidents for the israeli military in this war. the israeli army said the armed vehicle these soldiers were travelling in was hit by a large explosion early on saturday and it seems that this explosion then sparked a detonation of explosive material that these soldiers were carrying. now, earlier, the armed wing of hamas said it had carried out an attack on an israeli convoy in gaza with anti—tank missiles after setting up an ambush. for some, this will raise questions about the israeli strategy in gaza. but this is another indication of how hamas is more reliant on insurgent tactics when fighting the israeli military. reacting to what happened on saturday, the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, described this war as difficult, but he said despite the heavy price, the country must cling to the goal of destroying hamas�*s military and governing capabilities in gaza and also returning the hostages who remain in captivity. in tel aviv, thousands of people joined yet another protest, demanding a deal with hamas for the hostages to be freed. now, major differences between israel and hamas remain in these negotiations. negotiations that are based on a proposal that was laid out by president biden that he described as an israeli proposal. this plan would see the release of hostages and would pave the way for a permanent ceasefire in gaza. hamas wants guarantees that the war is going to end before agreeing to any deal and this is a contentious point in israel, so there is no indication of any breakthrough in these talks. china�*s premier li qiang continues his visit in australia — the first in seven years — amid warming ties between both countries. his first official arrangement on sunday was on panda diplomacy, visiting adelaide zoo, the home of china—born giant pandas wang wang and fu ni since 2009. the trip also included a visit to winemakers in the famed barossa valley in south australia. wine is one of the many exports that was hit by beijing�*s sanctions in 2020 that was was seen as retaliation for canberra�*s call for an international inquiry into the origins of coronavirus. the trade barriers imposed by china on australian products cost exporters us$13 billion a year. but relations have since thawed with prime minister anthony albanese�*s government adopting a softer diplomatic approach towards china. last year, two—way trade with china grew over 9% to some us$216 billion. now, china is by far australia�*s biggest trading partner, taking in over 50% of its exports last year — mainly iron ore and coal — according to the rcep tracker. li and albanese will hold talks on monday around issues of foreign influence, rivalry in the pacific and economic opportunities, with executives from key sectors such as energy and green tech. let�*s speak to deborah elms in singapore, head of trade policy at the hinrich foundation. thank you forjoining us. the chinese premier has urged what he said a shelving differences with australia. remind us what those differences are and whether they can really be shelved on this trip. i whether they can really be shelved on this trip. i think there are _ shelved on this trip. i think there are two _ shelved on

go to china. it is by far the largest partner for australian exports, and when the chinese retaliated, especially in certain sectors like wine, it became a real problem for any industry or any player in that space in australia to suddenly and very quickly have to diversify their supplies, it was very challenging.- supplies, it was very challenging. supplies, it was very challenauin. �* ., . ., ,

i think australia�*s dependence may be slightly higher because it is very lopsided in favour of iron ore and in mining in general, buti think if you have one of the world�*s largest partners who are buying your products and supporting your standard of living, it is very hard to figure out who else would do that. you can say we need to decouple, diversify, but to wear and at what cost, and so i think australia has gotten itself a little stuck on... in relying on china and that is why this visit is actually so important because it is helping reset a relationship that has been unnaturally bumpy in the last couple of years. meanwhile, china is not at the ukraine summit, as we have seen, and australia�*s allies like the uk and us are there. as it would australia in a tricky position with its allies on issues like ukraine and other global problems? i on issues like ukraine and other global problems? i think it can. i mean, _ other global problems? i think it can. i mean, we _ other

saw the g7, for example, issue a very hard statement that condemned only russia but also china. that is a problem for australia who have very high reliance on the chinese market for economic reasons, but also has very strong security and political ties to g7 nations, and that does put australia in a challenging position of having to choose sometimes between economic political security interests, and that balance has been always challenging but has gotten much tougher. find been always challenging but has gotten much tougher.— gotten much tougher. and on a more frilly _ gotten much tougher.

in italy on sunday, straight into a star—studded campaign fundraiser in los angeles. the event�*s been touted by the biden team as the largest democratic fundraiser in history — they say us$28 million has already been raised with more expected. the event featured former us president barack obama, as well as hollywood celebrities, including george clooney and julia roberts. the la times reported the event�*s most expensive ticket went for a tidy sum of us$500,000. it�*s the latest push by the campaign to show strength amid the president�*s persistent low approval ratings. president biden and rival donald trump remain tied in the national polls less than five months out from the election. meanwhile, former us president donald trump has been campaigning in the us city of detroit. mr trump first made an appearance at an african american church where he spoke at a roundtable with local community members. several hours later, he headlined a rally hosted by turning point usa. michigan is considered a key battleground state for november�*s presidential election and a must—win for presidentjoe biden�*s path to a second term. donald trump made his pitch to voters on the issues of manufacturing, migration and inflation. take a listen. but i will stop joe but i will stopjoe biden�*s invasion causing spending spree and impose an immediate moratorium on the hundreds of billion dollars of waste, he is wasting money at levels never seen before, he is putting all this money into the green new scam, it is a scam, one of the greatest scams in history. a gunman has opened fire and wounded people at a water park in the us state of michigan. police say at least one child has been wounded among the nine victims of what they called random gunfire involving up to 30 rounds at the park. the local sheriff�*s office said it potentially had the suspect contained near the scene of the shooting in rochester hills, a suburb of detroit. the home secretary has asked for an urgent explanation from surrey police after officers used their car to ram a cow that was on the loose. the force says it was acting to ensure public safety, and the animal is now being treated by a vet.
