guest, ukrainian president is a political organisation but this years summit was dominated by economics that it was at the very heart of any news that the leaders discussed this weekend, ukraine and china. i will start with a crane. before the summit even kicked off on friday the us introduced a raft of measures targeting russia, 300 sanctions aimed at restricting moscow's ability to source battlefield materials. the uk then followed suit, having introduced an import ban on russian diamonds, copper, aluminium, nickeland russian diamonds, copper, aluminium, nickel and then the g7 leadersjointly aluminium, nickel and then the g7 leaders jointly agreed on a statement that said they would continue to impose sanctions, tighten them, and specify the need to crack down on sanctions and evasions, the use of third—party countries as a loophole for russia to get
12:32 am
around these restrictions. they also acknowledge the fact, separately to the joint statement that there would be a need to utilise the so—called outreach countries in the global south countries like india for example, because the sanctions put in place have hurt russia, but the war machine carries on. india for example has ramped up the acquisition of russian oil than the g7 countries in the western countries alone cannot hurt ray nash —— russia financially enough and speaking about it and then getting them on board and then getting them on board and a practical sense, ones that have not even condemned the invasion of russia will be the invasion of russia will be the big challenge. when it comes to china, the leaders issued a joint statement on chinese economic coercion, the notion that china utilises its vast economic power, weaponised is it in order to get smaller countries to fall in line. the difference between outlining

the concern and doing something about it is the tricky bit for these countries and the us wants to go in hard heavy on investment and in china all kinds of export bans but the reality for most countries is you cannot break off ties with the world's second largest economy. china is the eu's trading partner so a new word started popping up this weekend, the concept of de—risking and moving supply change away from china and moving your dependency on the economy away. a compromise slightly but beijing's new this was a smear and that the original economic coercion was coming from the us. a meeting of countries in the quad, the us, japan, australia and india, took place on the sidelines of the g7 in hiroshima and it came after china announced plans to increase its defence spending

strategic friction with china so there is that visible underlying logic to the group coming together but that said, the quad countries as an informal group need to gain acceptance from other countries in the indo—pacific region so they very much sought to emphasise the potential for public goods that can be delivered through the partnerships.- delivered through the partnerships. delivered through the --artnershis. , ., partnerships. fresh from the g7, us president _ partnerships. fresh from the g7, us president joe - partnerships. fresh from the g7, us president joe biden l partnerships. fresh from the l g7, us president joe biden will g7, us presidentjoe biden will meet with republican house speaker kevin mccarthy late on monday for another round of talks on the us debt ceiling. early on sunday the treasury secretary said that during the first remains a hard deadline. if the debt ceiling is hit, washington could run out of federal funds to pay its bills. china has banned its key operators of its infrastructure from using products by us memory chip maker after it accused the manufacture of failing its network security
