specter to focus on climate change and the fires burning in the amazon in brazil now in the course of the last hour u.s. president. trump held an unscheduled news conference at that summit sitting alongside the egyptian leader abdel fatah el-sisi tom touched on a number of key issues including the middle east and iran more on that in a moment on the dispute with china he had this to say over here in the 3rd was. very very good growth very productive brawls they mean business they want to be able to deal is very important. very important to them both it was really a lot of things that happened and his wife president she's a great leader he stands and it's going to be great for china is going to be great to be great to the world he just is and he's able to do things that other people are unable to do so recall the story for sure to. negotiate see what happens but that they were making it ok let's go straight to be

arrests where. it's and standing by for us president there talking about a number of topics let's start out with china it sounds like he's opening the door for some new possibilities. brian in the past 2 days reporting here from the g 7 i already announced once that president donald trump had softened his stance on china when he said he had 2nd thoughts about escalating relations with china in other words requesting that came to this tit for tat trade war about then the white house clarified that actually what the president meant was in other words poor and more oil into the fire so he should have been tougher slapping tougher sanctions on china and what we have now is it began the exact opposite of the president saying we're close to a deal so maybe we need to wait until the chinese authorities confirmed that they actually called trump and also maybe we need to wait for the white house to see

what they made of the statement ok so time to stand back a little bit on this statement there was also some comments on iran the president addressing that issue of course iran is figuring prominently right now in beer it's with the iranian foreign minister making a surprise visit there let's take a listen to what the president had to say about iraq. there is far is a risk that is concerned. that was with great respect i spoke to president roh yesterday. and you everything he was doing and i approved whatever he was doing and i thought it was fine and i think it's too soon to be i didn't want to be. i said i don't want to be right but it shouldn't be killed to meet with the managers going to be a great thing for the great potential again or go what were the reactions and responses to these are comments coming from the president about iran. brian again quite

a quite extraordinary here where we hear the exact opposite of what we heard yesterday from from the white house and from from the american delegation here now it seems in fact that trump is moving away from the go it alone montra that he's been pursuing the days before here when he was surprised that the iranian foreign minister had arrived here where he was a lot more distanced to the idea of easing tensions with iran now german chancellor angela merkel made clear that it was a french initiative to invite the iranian foreign minister but it was this decision was taken by the french presidency here the host of the g. 7 meeting in light of the spirit in light of the meeting with trump and the others where everyone agreed that dialogue should be continued and that tensions

should be eased with iran and so it looks today like the president approves of that and basically that is something that's a good sign for the others they will welcome that message ok now to deal with issues like iran but also with syria and with north korea the u.s. president during his time so far in berets has been pushing for bringing russia back to the g. 7 and table russian president vladimir putin of course that is did he get any support for that push to bring russia back on board. 0 concessions on that front i would say the e.u. leaders here but also the others of world leaders at the g 7 see this quite the opposite from from donald trump let's remember the russian president. left the g 7 back then the g. 8 after the united nation of crimea are and what the other world leaders here would want to see is that the peace process in ukraine is picked up again that we see

some positive moves there before a real mission of the russian president can even be considered. and a final day was so far has there been any concrete results of from this summit is there been anything we can look at and say ok there's some progress here maicon you of course that it's going to was going to going to be to produce some tangible results and that is why he has broadened the agenda he invited african leaders but the topic of inequality even women empowerment on the agenda are not iron on that front you did see some some real some real results come out for instance for the zeile area or 5 countries 5 african countries there who have military troops 7 battalions in that area in order to fight terrorists they will receive money and they will receive training and they will receive a development aid for those areas that have been freed of terrorists so that is

some positive news coming out of the g. 7 here again thanks so much for now we'll have much more throughout the course of the final day of the g. 7 summit in b a it's now york thanks very much. well as mentioned the iranian foreign minister made that unexpected appearance at the summit iran wants to defuse tensions of course with the u.s. after washington pulled out of the 2015 international nuclear cordie us is applying a policy of maximum pressure that includes economic sanctions on iran did obvious reason as looking into what that means for every day. the economic heart of the iranian capital beats in the bizarre at 1st glance it seems to be bustling here. but looks can be deceiving. has traveled all the way from isaan to 7th fabrics but business is slow today. as

a move. this is one of the most important parts of the bazaar this is where clothes and textiles are part and sold this area is known worldwide as the trade hall but as you can see it's almost empty it shows you how badly the economy is doing right now hardly anyone comes here. to see nice. some days many traders make a single sale u.s. sanctions the depreciation of the local currency and now the standoff in the persian gulf have all taken their toll. hopes for fresh negotiations between the u.s. and iran. we have to solve our problems and make peace with the rest of the world. we live in a time of communication you can't close the doors to the outside world.

many traders here share that opinion but by no means all of them the constant uncertainty has made people wary and tired many believe a new deal with the u.s. under donald trump is no longer possible. there should be a war we want war then at least we'll know where we stand for better or worse. more than a year since the us pulled out of the nuclear deal such sentiments have become more commonplace i set off to discover what people think in other parts of the city. i'm not surprised to hear words like these down here in the south of tehran where views have always been watch additional and more conservative but is the mood all over the capital shifting to find out let me take you to the north of tehran clocks tick differently. i stopped to visit a man with been following the situation in iran very closely. i want to know what

effect all of this has on the political mood in the country there was. actually was elected on.
