bridge. to try to see reporters starting to leverage on g.w. . this is d w news live from berlin g seven leaders gather in canada and made unprecedented tension the host nation had wanted to focus on issues like climate change and gender equality but a trade war sparked by washington and now a new proposal from donald trump are sowing divisions among our lives also coming up in germany and four other countries are elected to the united nations security

council as nonpermanent members will the musi berlin exert a bigger influence on the world affairs and a fugitive suspected of break and killing a german teenager is arrested in iraq the case involving the rejected asylum seeker and a fourteen year old girl has stoked germany's politically charged immigration debate . i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program the g. seven summit which brings together the world's most powerful industrialized countries has begun in the canadian province of quebec prime minister justin trudeau has been welcoming world leaders among them british prime minister theresa may the german chancellor angela merkel now the summit was expected to focus on economic growth climate change gender a quad. eddie and the ongoing dispute over trade and terrorists but now there's

another unexpected topic courtesy of the u.s. president donald trump before leaving for canada he caused controversy by calling for russia to be readmitted to the g. seven russia was expelled following the annexation of crimea. right here should be in this treaty why are we having a meeting without russia being in the meeting i would recommend and it's up to them but russia should be in the meeting you should be a part of it you know whether you like you know or not and that may not be politically correct. but we have a world to run at is the seventh which used to be the g.a.a. they all rush out they should let russia come back because we should have a right to go here. so a call there from the u.s. president donald trump let's analyze this now i have a jobs is joining us here in the studio she is an expert on transatlantic relations

welcome to the program thanks for having me now european members of the g. seven they have already replied to this request from the u.s. president donald trump that russia rejoin the club their reply has not been positive they have you now to basically said that they will not allow this surely the u.s. president couldn't have hoped for a positive response from these allies why did he say this then going into the summit what do you think his strategy might be so what we've seen from president trump is that he doesn't follow the written and unwritten rules of the diplomatic establishment as he would say he is likely to or he sees he feels entitled to create some kind of confusion distraction the politics of kaos that he's pursuing we've seen it in the past and this is exactly what is what he is doing going into this just haven't found how far do you think europe is willing to go in opposing him i mean they. are many european leaders among them just include

door angela merkel and also a minimum mccool they. they they were really blunt unusually blunt in rejecting this kind of proposal and they are. they are willing to team up. so this is this is not the style they want to they want to follow and you mentioned just introduce we know of course that his country canada is hosting this g. seven summit that all of these leaders are gathered in quebec and there's a lot on the official agenda. issues that he would like to address including climate change gender equality the iran sanctions just to name a few given the opposition from the united states do you think that we could see progress though on those issues between the six that are are present there. we've we we're clearly going to see some progress specially six of the nations

of the stronger economies are discussing important questions on clean energy and climate but president leaving the summit early saturday so that skipping more than half of the summit will not help. in forming a common. statement perspective on most issues i want to take a look now because if you know if we look over the better part of the past century these countries just generally speaking they have historically been allies the tensions with the u.s. are real shakeup aren't they and where do you think that the dust could stand you know if we see when the g. seven form it was founded in one nine hundred seventy five. there was a looming. ecological crisis it was oil crises there was the damned bretton woods system there was there was

a time when western or the concept of the west was formed and those countries taking over responsibility and speaking for the entire population. would like trying to pursue some of the policies and propose them to the to the the other nations of the world we know that the g. seven is only the first summit that is that is up in the next couple of days we also have the u.s. north korea summit which will take place in singapore the u.s. president leaving the g eight summit seven summit to head there. air what do you think we can see coming out of that. i think the expectations are not that high anymore it will be a very pristine just photo op so to say. but in terms of results we're not going to see too much in my opinion. north korea is not going to

leave their nuclear program. and still this will be a success on on a diplomatic level for president ok so a bit of pessimism there in terms of potential progress there we thank you so much for joining us with that analysis eva jobs historian an expert on transatlantic relations he. says the united nations general assembly in new york has voted for germany and for other nations to become nonpermanent members of the security council of the one hundred ninety nations taking part one hundred eighty four voted in favor of germany's a two year term along with belgium south africa the dominican republic and indonesia as nonpermanent members they have to they have no veto on like the five permanent members now the german foreign minister heikal moss welcomed the results he had this to say. we want to be

a perceptible load voice for peace in the security council. but above all for the future of a multilateral world order under the rule be stored or. if. we want to live up to the responsibility that comes with it. we want to make a contribution to results conflict and not even to a lesser crises to emerge. that's coming from our let's bring in our washington correspondent carson phenomena who is standing by with the latest from the united states so carsten germany has been elected now for two years what will it be focusing on during that time. well germany wants to be an honest broker it wants to bring other countries together at once these month national almighty let's run organizations like the united nations in general like the un security council like the world trade organizations and others to work clearly.

germans look at issues such as climate change migration the fight against poverty international security also such as in areas as ukraine or the middle east which are in the neighborhood of germany and germany really believes in this kind of international cooperation and that's where the focus is but carson i mean there are big challenges of course because the security council has been far from united as of late can germany really change that. no of course not at least not alone but germany will try together in particular with its european allies the of the e.u. members who are in the security council and indeed united nations in general germany has acquired a tradition of quiet diplomacy in trying to work out frameworks to produce frameworks where countries can work together some say this is due to the lessons learned from the second world war from germany's post and the bad experiences

germany has made with nationalism and militarism others say it's simply the acknowledgment that germany is too weak in today's world to force its will on others but the bottom line is germany does believe in the idea of the un of course if they can really make it work in a time when there's a resurgent russia a rising china and an america a united states that wants to go it alone apparently on the donald trump that remains to be seen question i'd just like to talk briefly about the security council generally speaking and its influence in the world because you know it was established after the second world war is it still fit for purpose these days. i'm afraid it's not because the security council as it is today still reflects the situation on the globe. seventy years ago after the end of the second world war now there's

a different world now there are new giants such as india or brazil who could claim that they should be as permanent members on the security council there are the losers of the second world war japan and germany who are now the third and fourth biggest economies in the world they want to be there africa is not represented properly so this should be reformed but the problem is the five permanent members have a veto they can block anything they like and they can also block any reform and as we have seen in the past sometimes they certainly do karsten phenomenon but the latest from washington thank you. let's get a quick check now of some other stories making news around the world officials in the gaza strip say that three palestinians have been killed and hundreds wounded in renewed protests on the israeli border israeli army fired tear gas and live bullets in an attempt to disperse the crowds israel accuses hamas of using those protests to try and breach the border while protesters say that they want to draw attention
