the james bays has the latest. we're hoping to sign something called a carbon bay declaration. and the idea there is to look at all of the things that have happened in the world over the last 1516 months, and see if in the future they can be sped up. so everything is ready if there is another pandemic. so the world wouldn't have to wait for a vaccine to be developed there. be plans constantly rolling plans to develop vaccines. the other things we've had the, you know, the supply of protective equipment, things like that. they want to have everything ready in a resilient manner. so that if the world faced a similar problem, the world would be completely prepared. agnes ciao, one of hong kong, most prominent activists, has been released from prison. she serve more than 6 months in jail for her role in an unauthorized anti government protests in 2019 saudi arabia is barring foreign pilgrims from attending the had jo most in pilgrimage for

news, news, news. news. 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 buy and deliver this is inside story. ah, ah 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 4 walking years. and the former president donald trump, whose terrace, and withdrawal from treaties strained relations with major allies by then this meeting leaders on the sidelines of the group sessions shown a whole as more formless 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 emerged from the pandemic. perhaps looking for fresh global direction and still refreshing the memory, the era of donald trump, confrontational, unpredictable will 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 democracies, 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, p. j. crowley,

former united states assistant secretary of state for public affairs, from brussels, catalano, c. o. the sensor for european policy studies and from moscow. so there's certainly cough political scientist at the russian academy of sciences. thank you all for joining us. peachy crowley by then 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 and that 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 its feet in light of the pandemic. these

are enormous undertakings, and it will be important for the united states and the other leaders to demonstrate, you know, that democracies can deliver results. you know, given the competition, the real competition that does exist between the west, russia, china, were given the priority is that, is this a sign of more robust american engage and coming in world wives 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, you know, ambitious 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 wave 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 as a whole, want to see come out of the summit. i the 1st thing as the assistant secretary just at the moment will also that's global or corporation amongst democracy is working. but also that he was taking serious and that's also why shall we show the president of the council as well with the faxing pledge to the summit this morning. chat, look the we'll 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. this important issue, which is the green view, the carbon issue. charging me should also set an interview this morning. do us need to price car? so that's a very difficult issue to discuss. but then also all the international issue to be discussed on the agenda, which is china. i think, are extremely important to let you know there's a column line to watch china from the g 7. and the results from russia and

preparation of the important could be put in, put in meeting on wednesday. ok, well let's turn to russia then vladimir. because of joining us from moscow. this russia miss being in the g 7. this will be somewhat painful for vladimir putin. so watch from the sidelines because of course, 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 of the j 7. i guess it was several years ago while our rights in 2014 when the starting ukrainian crisis. so bar over crimea, the g 7 decided to, for russia to get withdrawn from, from, from j 7, j 8. sorry. so i, i don't think that russia, too much miss missed the certainly so thing because rush actually

is self sufficient countries, patient country. and despite all the troubles with not being a part of the j, sudden all g age, whatever you made it, russia still enjoys it's. it's all based on the joyce, it's all policies and all the countries in the g 7 are self sufficient part of the discussions that are going on. let me or so nicole for to chime, 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 has got an important meeting coming up with joe biden. so, so what is plan 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? the kid starts the global economy and fight the pandemic. well, you actually raced 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 and 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 field extra. i mean 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 all the problem. so while ukrainian crisis, i anything like that, i think that the general desire would be that russia would, could re, to, would cooperate with the j 7 would cooperate with united states. and eventually russia, again, become well in some time. and i don't, i'm not sure that we'll do very 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 will be friends again. what's the us approach going into these talks is largely a prison. well, i 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 of 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, but even 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 and europe on what's happening in russia and also the support from putting to what she was doing to be, i mean the horrible conditions we can all dish people are getting. we have shown opposition to other human doing. i mean, i think there's a strong sense 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 know, as extremely happy, let's say that we have by then divide house and others. so got ration by 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, the troops,

another issue which we mentioned the beginning about trump always insisting on this traits are those mature pass. and this nature, by the way, has been increasing all the time during the trump years and years to increase its 150000000000 now for goods. i mean, this is also something on which europe should be read, that needs to do something. and probably sherman locations are due status to pass on certain goods which are being important 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 again, 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? russia both or to toll? by what is happening at the summit? yeah, you're right. it's actually a good point, actually, russia, russia, what i can tell you what russia stands for, actually what, what is the russian position to watch the j 7 summit or anything like, like, as my students american colleagues going in, the real crisis is going on and other rules ukrainian crisis, the so called poisoning of mr. volley and whatever else a rush, actually a full for all years of these sanctions. russia got used to join the positions for the united states and the european union and european and the j 7. and well,

i even will be brave to say that russia has the center the actually to, to the response. well, this is the point and i agree with that that the, the, the strong, the strong, the strong statements on behalf, awfully. j 7 seems to be relevant for them because i think that for russia, the bella sion bellows crisis and 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 would agree that there should be external interference. there shouldn't be russians fighting on their soil. well, what do, what, how can you explain what is the russian interference? i mean that the i invaded and merciless of forcing

the rest of the race. we could have this argument, but then let's not have this argument night that this illustrates the differences between the 2 positions, the position from the us and 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. however, any of these issues going to be work. so do you think floods, amir nichols, that's a common purpose can be phones with european and american leaders are just 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 chris crisis with the cry 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 to go and others have other positions. so sorry, let me, let me, i'm sorry for, for my interruption. let me conclude my point of view my argument as you set. so please. so as regards current via us global economy and other pricing issues, russia actually very well want to cooper right? with europe in union, we like the states because for example, that kind of virus crisis, can i not? and then it is the global threats all human guy that russia only supports a common actions towards this. right. okay, you're good luck. thank you very much feature kindly. that 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 of measures to help boost the, the economy? because it's, it's easy 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 of 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. yeah. 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 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 these kinds of transformative legislation and policies is 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 it's already very well a call. probably the most important the world. and but we have the cop 26 meeting that have all the members of the united nations level that's working on climate 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 prize 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 the 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 end rational trait. if we don't have an agreement with this, if you don't try 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 vertical. 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 sheen position from back in china. ok probably from the g 7, teeny, more lenient position. so issues you much. okay, so we're in the final minutes of this debates. china has of course, been the elephant in the room here. we've seen skirting around the old debate flooding. certainly cars. 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 in the standing this. my point is that the, actually no one can let the position of china and actually both knighted 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 on 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, quarterly carolina, and vladimir certainly call and thank you to for watching. you can see the program again anytime by visiting our website al jazeera dot com. i'm for further
