hello and welcome to bbc news — with me matthew amroliwala. as we've seen, the g7 summit begins on friday — and this year, it's being hosted here in the uk — in a five—star hotel in cornwall on the south—west coast of england. it's worth having a look at why it's such an important meeting. the g7 is a group of seven of the world's largest, most—advanced?economies, including the uk 7 which currently holds the presidency of the group — the united states, canada, germany, france, italy and japan as well as

representatives from the european union. prime minister borisjohnson has also invited australia, india, south korea and south africa, as guest countries to this year's summit. the main issues on the agenda are the covid—19 pandemic and post—pandemic recovery, tackling climate change and promoting free and fair trade. all of these issues affect the way we live now, and the planet we live on — but they also impact the next generation. so, how relevant is this gathering of relatively old heads of state, to people aged 25 and under — and what do they think should be on the table at the g7 summit? let's find out. i'm joined now by shunta takino, who's 25 and from tokyo injapan butjoins us from paris. he is the japanese head delegate for the y7 group, which is a young persons�* group affiliated to the g7. 17—year—old yande banda is in lusaka, zambia, who's a girls�* rights activist and chairperson of the organisation transform education. himanshu sood is 2a and currently in leeds

here in the uk. he's originally from chandigar in india — and has worked in india on projects to promote socialjustice, gender equality and sustainability. ourfinal guest is in south—eastern mexico. estrella gutierrez is 24—years—old and a junior doctor who spent the entire pandemic working on a covid ward in a texas hospital. welcome to you all. estrella, let me start with you, it is a go without saying that nothing prepares you for what you dealt with in the hospital, on a human level, give me idea of how gruelling it has been. ~ . . . , give me idea of how gruelling it has been. ~ ., , . been. well, actually, the pandemic for all of us. _ been. well, actually, the pandemic for all of us, it _ been. well, actually, the pandemic for all of us, it had _ been. well, actually, the pandemic for all of us, it had no _ been. well, actually, the pandemic for all of us, it had no precedent, l for all of us, it had no precedent, right? like and what you are about to see. no one could have been

prepared to leave that. so for me, i lived through all that for over a full year. it started all back in march, and we would do long shifts, sometimes from liz30am, we would be arriving to the covid unit, and then we wouldn't leave all the way until 8pm, at times doing overnight shifts in the same covid unit. it was, as i said, no precedent. you couldn't deal with what you were leaving. no one really knew what to do. we were wearing this ppe, like, four layers, this big plastic thing that you couldn't even recognise your partner, so working and communicating in all that was an extra level of difficulty that we had to deal with.— extra level of difficulty that we had to deal with. yes, and dealing with death and _ had to deal with. yes, and dealing with death and resuscitation - had to deal with. yes, and dealing with death and resuscitation of. with death and resuscitation of recent good day, which must have taken an emotional toll. himanshu, let me bring you back in, because

economy —— for enemies to —— for their families economically. that is why we are demanding g7 leaders to intensify their resource globalisation. post covid we simply cannot go back to an old normal because normal was never safe. i because normal was never safe. i will pick up on that point, because it is such an important point, in a moment or two but i promised we would go back to vaccinations, before i asked the next question i just want to put onto the screen graphics that we have that shows in terms of a global reach the amount, the numbers of first vaccinations that have happened around and in different countries in the world. you will see that on the graphic there. then in different parts of there. then in different parts of the world we will also put onto the screen via second doses. that map shows you, doesn't it, the darker areas where the most vaccines have taken place. it shows you the basic inequality that we know exists between rich and poor countries. this trailer, i want to ask your question about that because we are going to get announcements about the

kovacs schemes, the donations from the richer countries —— but is it the wrong approach for the richer countries to only donate once they have vaccinated all of their domestic populations? should the donations happen now? {iii domestic populations? should the donations happen now? of course, eah, donations happen now? of course, yeah. surely- _ donations happen now? of course, yeah, surely. donations— donations happen now? of course, yeah, surely. donations should i yeah, surely. donations should happen now. people are getting sick now, not after. people don't get sick first and then the others. we have to do this massively, everywhere, notjust like before. after i have vaccinated mine, i would give some of them. we have to do this as a group.— do this as a group. shunta, we were talkin: do this as a group. shunta, we were talking there — do this as a group. shunta, we were talking there are _ do this as a group. shunta, we were talking there are about _ do this as a group. shunta, we were talking there are about vaccines. i talking there are about vaccines. you are all roughly of the same age group. i assume you are all roughly of the same age group. iassume none you are all roughly of the same age group. i assume none of you have had a first vaccine. when do you think

why i have been very strongly pushing the summit that we need leaders to put in policies to close the gender gaps, so reforming parental leave to encourage working fathers to take absence from work and be more involved in raising children but it also might require pay gaps to be reported. estrella, cive me a pay gaps to be reported. estrella, give me a description _ pay gaps to be reported. estrella, give me a description in _ pay gaps to be reported. estrella, give me a description in terms i pay gaps to be reported. estrella, give me a description in terms of| give me a description in terms of what it is like where you are, across all of the issues we are talking about, so education, work roles, safety for women. i know you are particularly concerned about that. fit are particularly concerned about that. .., , are particularly concerned about that. , g ., , that. of course. my context now is i am livin: that. of course. my context now is i am living in — that. of course. my context now is i am living in rural— that. of course. my context now is i am living in rural mexico _ that. of course. my context now is i am living in rural mexico come i that. of course. my context now is i am living in rural mexico come up i that. of course. my context now is i | am living in rural mexico come up in the mountains, so i was not prepared for what _ the mountains, so i was not prepared for what i _ the mountains, so i was not prepared for what i was finding here. i'm finding— for what i was finding here. i'm finding that 14—year—old girls are having _ finding that 14—year—old girls are having kids, like, post—pandemic, we are having _ having kids, like, post—pandemic, we are having the kids of the pandemic now, _ are having the kids of the pandemic now. so_ are having the kids of the pandemic now. so we — are having the kids of the pandemic now, so we call them, because these

we spoke to, when putting together our panels, raised it as an issue that affects their daily life and believes it should be a priority for the g7 leaders. the statistics are startling: in most countries, mental health issues among 15—24 year olds have doubled or more during the last year. and young people were 30% to 80% more likely to report symptoms of depression or anxiety than adults in march 2021 ? a year after lockdown was enforced in most countries around the world. in addition, mental health support for young people? ? notably in schools, universities and workplaces ? has been? heavily disrupted by covid restrictions. let's go back to the panel, and to shunta, because i know you have done surveys on this between 14 and 40—year—olds and the figures are startling. tell me a little bit more. ~ ., startling. tell me a little bit more. ., ':::::: startling. tell me a little bit more. ~ ., ':::::: more. we asked over 1000 young --eole in more. we asked over 1000 young people in japan — more. we asked over 1000 young people in japan what _ more. we asked over 1000 young people in japan what we - more. we asked over 1000 young people in japan what we want - more. we asked over 1000 young people in japan what we want to i more. we asked over 1000 young i people in japan what we want to see the japanese government prioritise action— the japanese government prioritise action on— the japanese government prioritise action on on health issues in the lead _ action on on health issues in the lead up — action on on health issues in the lead up to— action on on health issues in the lead up to the g7 and mental health came _ lead up to the g7 and mental health came up— lead up to the g7 and mental health came up first, even about things

personally went through, and i felt that this is something with the youth of india, they don't really have that chance to speak up openly about and raise concern with their family or society because of the stigma that there is. and i am really, really happy that there is a lot of progress being made, because now, the young people are really starting to talk about it openly, that's the reason why someone like me in this stage of my life, i was able to get the help i needed. really briefly, in terms of support, i know you are open with your parents, but i imagine —— i mentioned in the introduction about how covid has interrupted support. is that what you found as well? absolutely, medical services especially related to mental health are difficult to come by these days, and luckily, because of the network that i had, i was able to get in touch with friends and some family doctors. but this isn't the case

with everybody. i did have to go back home, just for my mental health, you know? and it is something that was really, really necessary for my well—being and it is important. we necessary for my well-being and it is important-— necessary for my well-being and it is important. we are running out of time, so is important. we are running out of time. so two _ is important. we are running out of time, so two quick— is important. we are running out of time, so two quick final _ is important. we are running out of time, so two quick final questions. | time, so two quick final questions. yande, we heard about anxiety, depression, is that what you are seeing around you, what is the driver here? is it fear, isolation, the fact that all of your lives have changed, looking forward? what do you think it is? i changed, looking forward? what do you think it is?— you think it is? i think it is 'ust this assumption i you think it is? i think it isjust this assumption that, even - you think it is? i think it isjust this assumption that, even as| you think it is? i think it isjust i this assumption that, even as we you think it is? i think it isjust - this assumption that, even as we are living _ this assumption that, even as we are living in— this assumption that, even as we are living in this — this assumption that, even as we are living in this global pandemic, we still need — living in this global pandemic, we still need to function as normal, we still need to function as normal, we still need _ still need to function as normal, we still need to — still need to function as normal, we still need to do our work, make money, — still need to do our work, make money, still need to do and take care of— money, still need to do and take care of all— money, still need to do and take care of all these other things of our lives — care of all these other things of our lives while living in a global pandemic— our lives while living in a global pandemic and sometimes in different parts of— pandemic and sometimes in different parts of the world quarantine, and that is— parts of the world quarantine, and that is dangerous, that's a very big problem _ that is dangerous, that's a very big problem in — that is dangerous, that's a very big problem. in our education system in our schools. — problem. in our education system in our schools, this is not being addressed, depression and anxiety are not— addressed, depression and anxiety are not being taken seriously. we are not being taken seriously. we are being — are not being taken seriously. we are being told to toughen up, that's

hello, there. it's a little bit of a messy weather picture to paint at the moment. certainly, we've had more cloud around today than recent days, and as you can see by this weather watcher picture sent in from cumbria. the best of the sunshine has been through eastern england, still some fair weather cloud here. this is where we are likely to see the best of the warmth as well. looking at the satellite picture along with the radar, yes, there is some rain, albeit light and patchiy into the far northwest of scotland, you can see the cloud thinning and breaking in places, but that said, quite murky along the west facing coasts and the cloud, the mist and murk thick enough for a spot of drizzle as well across the far south west. that's how we are likely to keep this condition through the remainder of the day, with the best of the sunshine and warmth in the east.

it will be on the breezy side, particularly in the far north west, with winds in excess of 30—40mph here, accompanying that weather front. so temperatures a little subdued at 16, the low 20s perhaps for southern scotland and northern ireland, highest with the best of the sunshine across the south and east, 25 degrees. it's day one of the second test at edgbaston, perfect weather conditions for spectators and cricketers today. pleasant, dry, perhaps a little humid for some of you. through this evening, a pleasant end to the day, that weather front continuing to push across scotland, bringing some rain from time to time but not too concerned about that. a fair amount of cloud across the country, temperatures holding up, staying quite muggy, quite uncomfortable for getting a good night's sleep. we start tomorrow again on a largely grey note, and west—facing coasts will be misty and damp in places. that weather front will continue to bring a band of cloud south and east, squeezing the warmth into east anglia and the southeast corner. slightly cooler, pressure conditions following behind as the weather

front pushes through. but high pressure is set to rebuild again at the weekend, and that will drag the warmer colours across the country. the warmth will return for all of us into the weekend. in fact, for some of you, you may be starting to say it's just too hot, as we're like to see temperature peaking into the high 20s. as we're likely to see temperature peaking into the high 20s. that's it, take care.
