get involved with political things such as this at all, and trumpet white house. no secret had it had always made no secret of the fact that it was using the justice department to do some of its bidding if you will. that's not necessarily a secret. there's been all sorts of allegations for a long time, but these are just new and democrats right now are outraged on capital hill. that these new allegations coming to light that perhaps in 2018 to 2019 that the justice department was seeking records e mails, phone call records, and the such and the like from to prominent democrats on the house intelligence committee, or 2 democrats that were particularly vocal against donald trump. this just goes completely against the norms and perhaps even breaking laws. and so that is why there is so much outrage about this by democrats right now. the news

and let's take you through some of the headlines here now just 0. now global bank seen access and 10 demik recovery a set to dominate talks. and the 2nd day of the g 7 summit leave is in the u. k. of pledge to 1000000000 vaccines for low income countries, but the un says more action is needed. jona hall has more from thomason cornwall. the focus now on saturday, shift to looking back at the last 18 months looking at lessons learned in order to prevent any repeat of the devastation wrought by the pandemic. and g. 7 leaders will commit their national resources to that end when they signed and unveiled accomplished by declarations. so called, late to setting out a firm plan towards that end. at preventing that devastation, 175000000 people infected, to remind you and counting 3700000 people dead and counting economies torn apart

one of hong kong. as most prominent pro democracy activists has been released from prison. agnes chow serve more than 6 months in jail for her role an anti government protest in 2019, but 24 year old was convicted along with activists. joshua wong and ivan lamb for an unauthorized rally and the police headquarters in iran. the 3rd and final presidential election debate will be held live on state tv later on today. the theme is people's concern, rainy and preparing to vote. in next week's home with the candidates had a heated discussion in the last debate. using each other of trees and deer in the voting in the 1st parliamentary election since mass protest force, the president sat down 2 years ago, her aunt pro democracy movement is urging supporters to boy called it's inside story. now, on june 16th the leaders of the united states and russia meet face to face the

medieval, strange relationship from ukraine to the jailing of a kremlin critique. and i think climate change. there is much to discuss with the biden putin stomach marks, the warming of the co p. join. now his era for all the days events and in depth analysis, we gaining leadership on the world stage. us president joe biden is leasing world leaders in europe, and he's promising america is back. but after for 2 years under his predecessor, who can find him deliver, this is inside story. ah, ah, the hello there milk into the program. i'm how am i hidden in cornwall? in the south west coast of england, the world 7 largest pars meeting to discuss

a daunting list of waste issues. the talks will be dominated by vaccine diplomacy, climate change, and b, building the global economy. the u. k. a u. s. president jo biden's, 1st stop in his 8 day trip to europe since taking office in january biden has said he's determined to rebuild transatlantic ties and reframe relations with russia after for walking years. and the former president, donald trump, who's terrorists, and withdraw from treaties strained relations with major allies by then this meeting leaders on the sidelines on the group sessions shown whole as more for fullness in cornwall. it's an extremely important weak this for joe biden. no doubt us president's 1st trip abroad since taking office 5 months ago, and he's here in cornwall face to face with perhaps the most important allies that the u. s. has and he's here with a very clear message for them in his own words, to show that the u. s. is back back to

a global leadership role back to more traditional forms of multilateral diplomacy. and the allies, of course, extremely keen to embrace that message, particularly as their economies emerge from the pandemic. perhaps looking for fresh global direction and still refreshing the memory, the era of donald trump, confrontational, unpredictable will it succeed, will job. i'm convinced that well, this meeting already proceeding on the basis of agreement rather than discord. he will move on from here to brussels, to further assure up alliances with nato and the e. u and construct what he describes as a coalition of democracy is a united front for when he sits down next week with the russian president vladimir putin and expect jo biden's approach there to be very, very different to his predecessor, donald trump's, who of course, famously cozy up to the russian president. ah, well, let's bring in our guests from alexandria. virginia peachey crowley,

former united states assistant secretary of state for public affairs, from brussels, catalano feel on the sensor for european policy studies. and from moscow, let me cough, physical sciences at the russian academy of sciences. thank you all for joining us . pc crudely buys and wants to deliver this message that america is back. but is he planning to bring in a thing concrete to this g 7 summit in the meetings beyond other than these slogans are not very impressive vaccine pledge. well, the vaccine pledge show is very meaningful. but i think 1st and foremost, it's about your bringing relations within the g 7 and beyond, you know, back to normal and normal has to implications. you know, one is so without the rank or that we had seen the during the trump years. and the

other is to help the world get back with that street in light of the pandemic. these are enormous undertakings, and it will be important for the united states and the other leaders to demonstrate that democracies can deliver results. you know, given the competition, the real competition that does exist between the west, russia, china. well, given the priority is that, is this a sign of more robust american engage him coming in world wide down the line? or is the priority really to get this normality established? why i think the united states, you know, has engaged the question is, has it been constructive? you know, for example, when donald trump 1st went to europe, he suggested that to europe or the united states, a great deal of money. you know, when, when joe biden visits with other nato leaders,

i don't think that's going to be a part of his lexicon. donald trump hesitated to invoke your article 5 of the nato treaty that the united states will come to the defense of, of its nato allies. so i do think that, you know, constructive engagement is what the, by the ministration is hoping for. it is meaningful. but as we see with these, your ambition plans, whether we're talking about vaccines, talking about climate, talking about the global economy. the challenge for all of these leaders will be delivering results that their people can tangibly feel. okay, ever turn to you carol, i knew what does the you want from this g 7 and the subsequent meetings waves fight and that are sets take place in the days that follow. because certainly, yes, the message america is back as being delivered to bite and is not donald trump. so relations arguably will be slightly easier. but in concrete terms, what if the

e u in europe is a whole want to see come out of the summit? i 1st thing as the assistant secretary just little also that's global or compression amongst democracy if something is murky but also that he was taking serious. and that's also why michelle, the president of the council, as well, with the faxing pledge to the summit this morning chat, look the will live, are 250000000 vaccines to the world. but all the important issues we have to be discussed, which is, for example, the recovery of the finances. british very important issue, which is the green deal, the carbon issue and challenge also set an interview this morning. d u s. needs to price car. so that's a very difficult issue to discuss. but then also all the international issue can be discussed which, which is china. i think extremely important to common line. 4 to watch china from the to 7 and the results from russia and preparation of the important to put in,

put in meeting on wednesday. okay, well let's turn to russia then vladimir because of joining us from moscow. this russian miss being in the g 7. this must be somewhat painful for vladimir putin to watch from the sidelines because of course it used to be the way the g rush is no longer part of this club. well, what do you mean by saying miss, you know what we're suggesting when there was a collective decision on the j 7. i guess it was several years ago while our rights in 2014, when the starting ukrainian crisis, so bar or crimea, the g 7 decided to rush to get withdrawn from, from, from j 7 j a. sorry. so i, i don't think that russia, too much miss missed the, certainly the thing because i rush actually is self sufficient gunter salt

petition country. and despite all the trouble with not being a part of the j 7 or g h, whatever you made it, a russia still enjoys its its own based on the joyce, its own policies and all the countries in the g 7 are self sufficient. part of the discussions that are going on lead to me are certainly go for to try to present this united front to tackle the big issues of the day. what is russia hoping for? the g 7 obviously is, is a part nay. but russia is got an important meeting coming up with joe biden, so, so what is going to be a pearson going to be looking to get out of these meetings? and is it hoping to jump on the bandwagon to help join these initiatives to kick starts? the global economy and the pandemic. well, you actually race the very good and very important questions in your in your,

your answer, in your asking me, actually, i would like to say that russian president vladimir putin. i said, generally one to significantly improve the relationship with the united states and as well as with j 7 countries check in. that's all taking, taking them all. and actually this is jenny m genuine desire and we didn't put any preliminary conditions. i'm gonna say that, okay, if we would very much like to develop relations with a european union with j 7, congress and we live in states. i think that the ball are, isn't that they're part of the all the, all the fields extra and in the there should be if there is a genuine desire for what partner to improve the relationship not stopping and not

pushing russia against the say, the so called nevada, the problem. so while ukrainian crisis, i anything like that, i think that the general desire would be that russia would, could, to re, to, would cooperate with the j 7 would cooperate with united states. and eventually russia could do again become well in some time. and i don't, i'm not sure that we'll do that as soon, but in some time, russia will become a, again, the part of the, a partnership country, all the j 7 or j j. k. and so pitching curly then russia appears to be willing to cooperate. no pre conditions to talk, they want to be friends again. what's the us approach going into these talks is lots of pollution. well, you know, some of the crises that, you know, my colleague and moscow mentioned are not so cold. they are quite real. of the

russian incursion into ukraine, russian attempts to either poison or jail, its political opponents, your russian interference in your western elections, including the united states. and now, you know, russia harboring cyber current criminal enterprises that are starting money from businesses in the united states and elsewhere. i'm sure these issues will be on the agenda for joe biden, or he will address them forthrightly with vladimir putin. i think we have low expectations as to you know, what's going to come out of this the, the reality is that the areas where the 2 countries can cooperate is shrinking. they are still their arms control would be, you know, one regional issue such as getting the parties back to the iran nuclear deal, maybe another. but the areas of conflict between the 2 countries and between russia

and europe are realistically expanding. so this is about manning managing a very difficult relationship in short to mid term, not improving it in a caroline or from the european perspective. is the you going to be looking from assurances from joe biden, when it comes to taking the relationship with russia forwards? because you have quite split splits on this. is it not? suddenly the eastern members of the block are very keen to make sure there's a strong response to russian actions, but germany is very reliance in oil and russian gas it so they as well, they won't hurt. rebuild saudi, i think on the other lines it will be on site and trying to not so aligned on china . i think you're getting closer to that. if you see something over the last year, actually by national parliaments, peter pronouncements again,

fi lation of human rights in china. also on the question, how does that the sky or but i mean on the russia? i think we have a common line uncertainty. if you see the reaction between europe on what's happening in russia and also the support from putting to what she was doing it to be, i mean the horrible conditions we can, all these people are getting. we have shown opposition to other human doing. i mean, i think there's a strong sense isn't that we need to do something about this. the problem is just the feel. i mean, mike, let's, let's say against this sort of human. and that's why i mean, you don't as extremely happy, let's say that we have by then divide hose and others. so got ration, i've been, i deliver more than we expected in the beginning. i mean, take, for example, about reinstating the troops which trump wanted to get out of germany. i mean, that's one of the 1st things reached by the said, which comforts europe that there is a security support from the united states. however, europe should be aware of this needs to do, it's part of the game,

as well as on the, on the side. so for example, approach, another issue which we mentioned the beginning about trump always insisting on this traits are those material pass. and this nature, by the way, has been increasing all the time during the term peterson continues to increase the 150000000. now for goods, i mean, this is also something on which europe should be read that needs to do something. and probably sherman occasions are due status to pass on certain goods which are being imported from the united states and make off from there are 2 guests in the us. and the use is they say that they have a lot of common grounds and they do want to put up a strong front against russia. but despite years of this, in russia continues its foreign policy passed on a basis. this russia feel that the, the g 7 just isn't relevant anymore. russia doesn't fear the sanctions that are being picked on it. so. so what's the points of another strong statement from the g

7? that is russia both are to toll by what is happening at the summit? yeah, you raised, actually a good point, actually, russia, russia, what i can tell you what russia stands for, actually what, what is the rational position to watch the j 7 summit or anything like like as my esteemed american colleagues at that going in the real crisis is going on, and i'm the ukranian crisis. the so called pleasuring of mr. volley. and what else? a rush actually full for all years of these sanctions. russia got used to lisa joined positions united states from the european union and european and the j 7. and i even will be

brave to say that russia has the sanction the actually to, to the, to this point. so this is the point and i agree with that that the, the, the strong, the strong, the strong statements on behalf of awfully j 7 seems to be relevant for them. because i think that for russia, the bill sion bellows crisis. what 7 of all the crisis ukrainian crisis, these are the matters which should be psycho not without. not without sorry, without the external interference. and russia will say with a grace katy, i would agree that there should be external, interferes. there shouldn't be russians fighting on their soil. ah, well, what do what, how can you explain what is the russian interference? i mean that the, i invaded an russian

a forcing the rest of the race. i mean, we could have this argument, but then let's not have this argument. know that this illustrates the differences between the 2 positions, the position from the us, the e u, and the position from russia. you can't even agree on what crisis actually exists when you have problems like the corona virus, tackling climate, change, re bones in the global economy. how were any of these issues going to be work? so do you think vladimir certainly caught, that's a common purpose, can be phones with european and american leaders? ah, yes, i think so. actually, let me, let me, let me start all over again. i mean, that's the, 1st of all, 1st of all, as you mentioned in the christmas crisis with the crime me,

actually this is a reality that the crimea is now a part of russia for the russian. i know what i don't want to talk about. i want to talk about the broader issues because you want the other half of the position. so the, sorry, let me, let me, i'm sorry for, for my interruption. let me conclude my point of view my argument as you said. so please. so as regards current via us, our global economy and the other pricing issues, russia actually very well want to cooper rate with europe in union. we like the state because for example, that kind of virus crisis, can i not? but then it is the global threat to all human guy that russia only supports a common actions towards this. right. okay, good luck. thank you very much feature. currently there with the vaccine pledge was

made ahead of the g 7 summit. can we expect other measures, for example, the to, to tackle climate change and, and other measures to help boost the economy? because it's, it's easy to, to release the statements and wishes. but what kind of concrete action i have to come back to this point, but are you expect and concrete action to come from this summit and the european meetings that will help deliver progress on climate and the economic re bones. while i think there will be discussion of goals. busy but, but actually delivering on those is more of a national discussion than an international discussion. and you know, this is where your domestic politics does have a profound impact on international affairs the by to ministration hopes to use an infrastructure bill. now to begin the process of winning the american economy away

from fossil fuels and towards more renewable energy sources. are it's unclear at this point. you know, whether congress is going to deliver on that bill in a meaningful form that, that helps. you know, the united states will still it's climate goals. so, so, yes, this, this is a major challenge for the united states and others is, is, you know, once you set the policy aspirations, can you deliver concrete results? that's not going to happen this week. but it's certainly needs to happen this year . carolina at the same point to you, given the internal divisions because they know the internal divisions in the us keeps copper. any attempts to pass me in these kinds of transformative legislation and policies. it's very similar situation in the you do you think anything concrete will happen to assess a very,

very long and flu routes that leaders worldwide are all on? no, i think less. i don't know. certainly on the green agenda which we'll just discussed . but sort of the very well, the cost probably the most important to us the world and but we have the got 26 meeting that have all the members of the united nations level that's working on trying to change. i think for the 271 to make concrete steps to make sure that the meeting, late glasgow or target we can go to tangible results. and there are many things that can be on that number which has to be tackled. there's just expanding that tape who was covered by the whole emissions trading schema. him a reduction of emissions. but it's also introducing us at a moment ago mean a carbon price. in march intersections, europe is the only jurisdiction and the more because an emission spreading system, we just barking at the moment and the emissions costs have increased me showing that the system works, but we need to expand this. and there's one very difficult thing related to that.

the do not have the carbon price. i mean, we have a, what we call a carbon border adjustment mechanism to tackle this. so that could be a really a big hindrance to international trade. if we don't have an agreement with this, if you're trying to from a type with the systems back, a time change and you don't do it, then we have a big friction for international trade. so that can be burkle. but also, as i said, all the elements, china is also making in steps on the climate change. but this will have to be combined for example, but taking a machine positions from back in china. ok probably from the g 7, teeny more lenient position for you. march. okay, so we're in the final minutes of this debates. china has of course, been the elephant in the room here. we've been skirting around the old debate flooding me. certainly cause do you think that people should be talking with china more to tackle these issues before any progress can be made?

yes, i think so you're, you're correct and restarting this. so my point is that the, actually no one can neglect the position of china and actually both new noted states and the european union. and j 7 should actually talk more to china. first of all, 1st of all, just to diminish any, any fears that china could do something in the opposite. i mean, that should be a threat. and secondly, just understand the position of china and try to negotiate the negotiate and to have an agree from china. these global issues like my colleagues just have mentioned, okay, i'm afraid we are out of time. i'd like to thank all of my gas speak a quarterly carolina and vladimir certainly call some thank you to for watching. you can see the program again anytime by visiting our website al jazeera dot com.
