finance ministers from six of the g7 countries meeting in canada have expressed "unanimous concern and disappointment" at america's new tariffs on steel and aluminium imports. they've warned washington that there are only days left to avoid a trade war. in tough words exchanged after the meeting, the canadian finance minister said he was very disappointed. his american counterpart, steve mnuchin, though, insisted that the us doesn't want to abandon its leadership of the world economy. what did we ask secretary treasury secretary to do? we said that we we re secretary to do? we said that we were collectively hoping that he would bring the message back, the message of regret and disappointment at the american actions. and concerned that they are not constructive. and my sense is he is

going to take a message back in washington. obviously trade was a big focus of the last few days here and speaking to all the members of the g7 and i've already spoken to president trump and reflected some of the comments and look forward to speaking to him more when i get back. our business correspondent paul blake is nowjoining us from new york. clearly, the us's key allies and trading partners taking this opportunity to make their anger known directly to the us administration? definitely an awkward couple of days there's big us treasury secretary steve mnuchin. typically after these big set piece meetings, all of the leaders assembled will issue some sort ofjoint statement leaders assembled will issue some sort of joint statement to leaders assembled will issue some sort ofjoint statement to show leaders assembled will issue some sort of joint statement to show this is what we discussed and agreed on, show that they are all unified and together but it didn't happen this time, clearly a sign of the discord among the group. on top of that he saw the french finance minister said the us had just days to address their concerns, not weeks, orthe

the us had just days to address their concerns, not weeks, or the us risks sparking a trade war. for his part, risks sparking a trade war. for his pa rt, steve risks sparking a trade war. for his part, steve mnuchin says he has conveyed their concerns to the white house we will see what sort of reaction they have in next couple of days. has there been any reaction from the president to this? no official reaction but he has been tweeting through the day, several tweets sent on the topic of trade. in summary, the president has been slamming what he calls on fair trade and stupid trade, to use his own words there, and he says it is time to the other parties involved, the other countries involved, to work out a new deal, rebalance their trade with the us, in his words, and this could create an awkward situation because he is heading to quebec to the g7 leaders meeting later this week where he will be meeting with all of the other g7 heads of state to discuss many of theseissues heads of state to discuss many of these issues and no doubt trade will be on the agenda then. from what

we've heard today though suggests these other countries would like to negotiate before their retaliatory ta riffs negotiate before their retaliatory tariffs kick in so all of this talk about a trade war, a trade war is itself could be averted yet. you know, it's important to note the us ta riffs have know, it's important to note the us tariffs have kicked in, in some cases the eu was notably that rudd told rotary ta riffs cases the eu was notably that rudd told rotary tariffs haven't kicked in so the us doesn't seem to be so concerned about that, they said this week in paris wilbur ross, secretary with their meeting with many of the european leaders, he said tariffs do not preclude any negotiations, we can have tariffs and still negotiate, he cited the example of china where he is headed this weekend, saying we slapped tariffs on china and we are still talking to them about where our trade concerns so them about where our trade concerns so certainly the us from their perspective leaving the door open and it sounds like they are not walking away from the table by any means. paul, thank you indeed. spain's new prime minister,

pedro sanchez, has been sworn into office by king felipe. it followed the ousting of the government of mariano rajoy in a parliamentary vote of no confidence after his people's party was embroiled in corruption allegations. a new separatist catalan government was also formally sworn in on saturday with its regional leader calling for talks with spain's new prime minister. richard galpin reports. the leader of spain's socialist party taking the formal steps to becoming the country's new prime minister. translation: i promise on my conscience and honour to loyally fulfil the responsibilities of prime minister and to be loyal to the king and to safeguard the constitution, as well as keeping the deliberations of the cabinet secret. king felipe i to congratulate pedro sanchez at today's ceremony —— king felipe the first to congratulate pedro sanchez

at today's ceremony in the royal palace on the outskirts of madrid. all of this following a parliamentary vote of no—confidence in the long—standing prime minister mariano rajoy on friday, forced out as a result of a corruption scandal within his party. 46—year—old pedro sanchez takes the reins of power without ever having held government office before. and his party has only a quarter of the seats in parliament. he need allies urgently. meanwhile, the new leader of catalonia, quim torra, on the left, was also attending a swearing—in ceremony. this in barcelona, for members of his separatist regional government — a move which ends seven months of direct, emergency rule of the region by madrid. and already, the catalan leader is saying he will pursue the goal of independence, despite last year's failed attempt to break away following a referendum. translation: this government

is committed to advancing in accordance with the referendum of october i. that is, to pursue an independent state in the form of a republic — a mandate which was supported by the december 21 elections. it will not be easy, there are powerful interests against this. singing this catalan government wants negotiations with spain's new prime minister about independence. their support in the last few days helped bring him to power. but madrid says the constitution bans any break up of the nation. british government has warned that the country faces a threat from islamist terrorism for at least the next two years. it also says the threat from extreme right—wing terrorism is also growing. last year's terrorist attacks

in britain prompted a sweeping review of how the police and intelligence agencies assess the risk posed by thousands of individuals known to have links to or sympathies with terrorist organisations. full details of the revised strategy are expected to be announced on monday. thousands of palestinians have attended the funeral in gaza of a volunteer nurse who was killed by israeli fire during protests along the border on friday. health officials and witnesses said 21—year—old razan al—najar was shot dead as she ran towards the border fence in southern gaza to help a casualty. in a statement, the israeli military said it would investigate her alleged killing by its forces. our arab affairs editor sebastian usher reports. once again, thousands of mourners have filled the streets of gaza through which the body of the young woman was carried on a stretcher, wrapped in the palestinian flag. health officials and eyewitnesses said that razan al—najar,

a volunteer nurse, was shot in the chest by israeli forces on friday as she ran to treat casualties near the gaza border with israel which has been the scene of weeks of palestinian protests. her father held what had once been her white medical coat, now drenched in blood, as her mother lamented her death. translation: this is her weapon. this is my daughter's weapon. this is what she was resisting with. on what basis did the solider kill her? so many times, she has survived death. she would come and tell me what she went through. may god account every person who is silent about this. she had become a well—known figure at the weekly protests at the border, held to demand the right of return for palestinians to israel. the israeli military said it will investigate her death. more than 100 palestinians have been killed by israeli forces

since the demonstrations were launched at the end of march. israel said its soldiers had only opened fire to prevent militants from breaking through the border. it accuses hamas, which controls gaza, of orchestrating the unrest for its own gains. but the un and human rights groups have accused israel of human rights breaches. palestinians see razan al—najjar as a new and potent symbol of their cause. let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news. australia has issued an alert after 83 shipping containers fell from a vessel off the coast of new south wales during heavy swells. the items include sanitary products, surgical masks and nappies. they've begun washing up ashore, and there are concerns that they could prove dangerous to whales if they swallow them. a number of people have been injured in clashes between the police

star movement in room shows how quickly things can change in italy. just a few days ago, five star was calling to everyone to come here and calling to everyone to come here and call to the impeachment of the country's president because the president had vetoed the choice of a eurosceptic finance minister for the 5—star leak coalition. then everyone got together, the arguments were resolved, and so this rally has now been rebranded as a celebration. people have still decided to come out and it is an important moment for protrude. bear in mind this movement was only founded in 2009 as a direct democracy and the corruption party and now for the first time, it is now officially in government. its priority, it says, is to bring about a jobseeker ‘s

allowa nce for is to bring about a jobseeker ‘s allowance for many italians who live in poverty, particularly in the south of the country, and the league, its partner, wants to have a tough new policy on migration. everyone here is a reasonably celebratory mood because they are still talking about promises. that may all change when they realised they are now no longer be antiestablishment parties, five star and league are now officially the establishment and they have to get on with it. cuba is getting ready to change its constitution to open up the island's economy to businesses and investments. today, the national assembly held an extraordinary session where president miguel diaz—canel picked his predecessor, raul castro, to lead the parliamentary commission that will draft the constitutional reform. i spoke to the bbc‘s will grant, who is in havana. these are changes that raul castro has wanted to see codified in the constitution for some time now. i

think it specifically in terms of the economy. he wants it clear that cuba will be moving to a mixed, and more mixed economy than the previous com pletely more mixed economy than the previous completely communist socialist economy and he wants that reflect that so that perhaps the small business owners that are permitted under cuba law have a bit more legal representation under the cost of tuition. and there are other things too, particularly term limits on president, on the president, and on other high officials, age limits, too, things that will make a difference to the way that cuba is one but not the underpinning philosophy, the political philosophy, the political philosophy, the political philosophy, the socialist nature of the revolutionaries enshrined in law and obviously they won't be touching up. i mean, it is quite noticeable, you know, the impact it has, i mean, when i was in havana last year, i noticed that small businesses, small restau ra nt noticed that small businesses, small restaurant owners, were really trying to make a go of the opportunities they had and if there

a feeling that people are poised to do more of that if these changes come in? yes, i think so. those are some of the kind of businesses that are permitted, whether it is small restau ra nt, are permitted, whether it is small restaurant, small bed and brea kfasts, restaurant, small bed and breakfasts, people cannot really have much more than that, as a sort of life stands at the moment. small businesses are about as far as they can go. i think those who are pushing the change will want to see a little more freedom in those terms. and want to make sure that those changes are constitutional, that just the whim those changes are constitutional, thatjust the whim of an individual administration but but are actually enshrined in law. so yes, i think definitely there is a lot of ordinary cubans who might have the capital whether monarchy comes from theirfamilies are capital whether monarchy comes from their families are braw old van savings to take the step into the private sector, dribbling to do so as long as the government finally makes good on a promise to thought ofa makes good on a promise to thought of a lather to happen. we'll grant for us in havana. stay with us on bbc world news.
