a convivial and cheerful tone. romantic views and the sidewalks were the 1st lady's included. power finally here. and it's been, you know, it's a beautiful beginning. leaders made a point of highlighting the nation's famed special relationship and made it official by signing an updated version of the 80 year old atlantic charter bite and said the alliance would help the countries address global challenges such as cybersecurity, the climate crisis, and the clone of iris pandemic together. the big announcement came after the talks, when the us president said his country would donate 500000000 pfizer vaccine doses to lower income countries and the african union. our values call us to do everything that we can to vaccinate the world against coven 19.

it's also in america self interest. as long as the virus rages elsewhere, there is a risk of new mutations that could threaten our people. we know that raising over 900 and other countries holds back global growth raises in stability and weakens governments. but activists protesting the global inequality of vaccine access. believe that waving pharmaceutical patterns would be a more effective than charity. nowhere near reaching the go. button, 80 percent really be the beans of axis in these channels. pharmacy companies own the things in the page produce enough for everyone. that's why we're asking for the manufacturing to be, to build my opening up the pages and the rest of these sort of more qualified manufacturers from producing. i said,

with the g 7 leaders arriving all eyes will be on the leaders of the world's wealthiest nations, to see how serious they are about helping the rest of the world. get a grip on the pandemic. and d, w corresponding alexander phenomena joint is now from carbon bay, england, where the g 7 meeting is taking place, at least under what issues are expected to dominate this gathering world leaders. while front and center of this g 7 meeting is certainly the corona virus pandemic. and the urgent need to provide more vaccines for low and middle income countries. and bonus jones from the british prime minister who is hosting this meeting here. that's already made clear his calling on the g 7 leaders to make a commitment to inoculate the whole world by 2022 other issues very high on the agenda. of course,

the couldn't make recovery climate change and the relations with china in terms of systemic challenges that the world is facing. climate change is right up the top. you expect any major commitments by the g 7 they're i think that there are word that there is a lot at stake. according to a recent study, the g 7 nations could lose up to 80 percent of the g d p. each year. if they are not going to tackle climate change and especially from the youth perspective, this is a very important topic on the agenda. they want concrete results. they are hoping that the needs to, to invest in economy a 40 can now make recovery to cope with the full out of the kronos with pandemic will need, will lead to more investment in green energy in green economy. and that is something that we are definitely going to find in the communicate after the

conclusion of the g 7 summit. but it's still open. how concrete, those conclusions will be. g 7 members used to be thought of as the world's leading industrialized nations. that was case when i was covering g 7 summit. now they're described as the club of wealthy liberal democracies, which obviously excludes china. russia is effectively bored. is the g 7 becoming more ideological? alexandra? well i think that the g 7 has been facing a lot of criticism for years now. i also covered 2 g 7 summits. when the former you as president donald trump was attending. and at this time, it seems that you, that 7 nations are in real trouble. and i think that this meeting, he and cornwall is addressing some of the issues. because there is this notion to extend to format to include. although democracies, india, south korea,

australia, and south africa were invited to this summit to discuss the global challenges and also may be to forge alliance to counter china, increasingly aggressive behavior. alexander, thank you very much. that was the w alexander phenomena. well someone who's also watching that g 7 meeting very closely is you're going to 15. he's a green party member of the german parliament serving on the foreign affairs committee and a former environment minister. good to see you, mister trutina. what do you make of this plan? by the united states to donate half a 1000000000 corona virus vaccines to poorer countries. this is an important step that the d 7 will deliver around 1000000000 vac sign doses. but it's not enough. oxygen has pointed that we need

between 8 to 11000000000 doses for this to solve the problem and to get something what we call her immunity. therefore, we have the still problem to scale up the industrial production, especially for the poorer countries. talking about that, joe biden wants to wave intellectual property rights on back scenes, germany and much of the e. you say this is not the way to help developing countries. where do you stand on that? i'm going through that did the idea that the real problem now is not the patrons be produced, us have that cooperation partner, even in the south. the problem are expert and these heard us come from the us and also from u. k. and we could produce more and we could produce more together with partners.

and just out of this expert hurts for some commodities i listed, but this is not the case. so i think it's a little bit of a blame game escape game that you're buying this plane here. ok, so export regulations coming into play there as well. what about the g 7 tackling climate change? that's one of your key topics and also for your party. do you see the group taking a constructive approach there? this simple truth has spoken out by the german chancellor. what we have done in the last year is simply not enough. this was bitter, bitter resume me from her 16 years chance my ship. and now that is the opportunity to change the car. i think the just haven't can do something on creating a common emission training system. we caught introduce texas border adjustment

mechanism. we could set the standards and norms for c o 2 free industrial productions, but to be found this, if we look on corona, if we look on climate, if you look on the recession of these 3 problems we're not solved without cooperation with china. debt is also to organize the balance entities happen between corporation and sometimes also confrontation with china. ok, talking about big powers. here europe is a big part of the g 7, but it's overshadowed by the us in terms of global diplomacy. should the e u not be taking on a stronger role in the world? i think the european union might become more geostrategic

the power game and the world is now played. not maybe by military forces. it's played on the field of economy. and there is a big player and we should be very self confident on that. we should this introduce into g was strategy mr. to teen. great. talking with you again, that was green party member of the german parliament. your team thank you very much . signaling some other stories making headlines around the world today. famine is afflicting some 350000 people in northern ethiopia as according to a new report, the human lead analysis describes catastrophic food shortages in t grier, a region devastated by fighting between government forces and rebels. it warns an additional $2000000.00 people could quickly dial starvation without urgent action. on mars military have open new corruption cases against ousted leader on songs to
