hello, double, and he said, i'm going, i'm going to going to get the the news . this is data. news lies from the n t 7. lated pledge, 1000000000 cobit 19 vaccine doses for poor countries. at the summit in england. well discuss the plan to vaccinate the whole world by the end of next year. german chancellor, i'm going to marco says it's up to g 7. countries to show the world. then not just thinking of coming out football, european championships,

asset for kick off already a year like can euro 2020 be held safely during the pandemic? and who are the tournaments biggest stars? ah, i'm rebecca writ as welcome to the program. global leaders meeting in the united kingdom for the g 7 summit hosted by u. k. prime minister barak johnson. the summons being held in cornwall, england and knox. the g 7 laid is 1st in person talks in nearly 2 years. they are expected to cover a range of topics with a focus on the current of ours pandemic and the climate emergency, as well as the strengthening of multilateral ties. johnson kicked off the conference with a welcome speech, and i actually think this is a meeting that genuinely needs to happen,

because we need to make sure that we learn the lessons from the pandemic. we may need to make sure that we date repeat some of the arrows that we doubtless made in the course of the last 18 months or so. we need to make sure that we now allow our economies to recover. and i think that they have the potential demands not very strongly. i'm joined now by w correspondent. i had a phenomena in cobb and bay where that g 7 summit is taking place. alexander was a relatively brief opening statement. what was the gist of bars? jones johnson's address? well, what struck me was that he was quite optimistic talking about the economy recovery, talking about how to cope with the co nomic fall out of the corona virus pandemic.

he's stressed at d. 7 leaders are having a united vision to build rebecca together to build back in a better way, greener farrah, more feminine as he put it. so i thought it was a very positive message. everyone was smiling for the traditional family photo of the ladies, but how harmonious is the conference expected to be while this is the 1st g 7 meeting with the new you as president, and i think this is very significant. that now the g d r a g 7 members can be reassured that the you, as is back that you asked is committed to multilateralism again. and i think this is a very important so this meeting among friends how. what, of course, we have to stress that there are differences, different ways of, for example,

dealing with china. joe biden would like to see a united front to come to china's increasingly aggressive behavior while the european union and germany in particular, views of china as a systemic choir will and competitor, but also as a partner on global issues. what issues are expecting to dominate? obviously the current of ours will be top of the agenda. but what other issues the world late is going to discuss? so there are going to talk about climate change, the economy recovery, how to deal with china as i just mentioned. but i think that the front and center of this meeting today is the crew of ours and condemning and the origin need to provide more vaccines for low and middle income countries. and that is what makes actually, i'm also stress upon her arrival,

how important it is to address this issue, the lack of vaccines in africa, for example. he said that it's important to send a strong message that the 7 are addressing the problem and that they are not only thinking about themselves. well, alex, thanks very much. i'm sure is going to be jam packed couple of day news alex on a phenomenon. this is of course you as president, binds 1st, foreign trip, since he took office ahead of the trip. he made it clear he wants allies to know that the trump era is over and that a new chapter in the transit atlantic partnership is beginning. the president has landed joe biden on european soil for a week of diplomacy, his message that from years of neglecting the trunk, atlantic lions, a well and truly over at every point along the way. we're going to make it

clear that united states is back. the strip is important for biden, it goes to the heart of his belief about this era that we vented a battle of the systems between democracies like those here in europe and are talk receive like china and russia. biden says that the west must unite and show that it's got what it takes. democracies of the world are standing together to tackle the toughest challenges and the issues that matter most to our future that were committed to leading was strength, defending our values. so biden has come to europe, the 3 summits with democratic clubs. first, the g 7 in britain, the nato, and the european union in brussels. before finally with russia is letting me biden's idea. if that it's best to consult your friends before you confront your rival. veteran german diplomat falls going issue,

dancing around. i think it is very smart. it is in terms of diplomatic practice to meet with nato partners for. and which part of this 1st, before the, the meeting with bloody may put it by wants to be able to show putin and indirect a china to that when the western united it can deliver in ways that they cannot thank you for, she's an ounce plans to donate more cove, it vaccines to poorer countries and teeth have in finance. ministers of agreed a minimum rate of corporate taxes to force global time to pay that. so you can expect the g 7 to be a show of transatlantic unity. but how deep does that unity go when it comes to biden's? big idea of pushing back against the autocrat on china. europe has tied in with us sanctions over human rights abuses. but europe's economy is so dependent on china.

but it's doubtful. it will be as tough as washington once and on russia, germany has refused to stop the controversial new stream to pipeline biden's seas. that is a major mistake that will make your weaker, more dependent on russia. both going issue fears. if europe doesn't step part, it risk feeding that from narrative that the trans atlantic alliance isn't west. is there anything we can do to make sure that the next president will not be again, donald trump, or somebody like donald trump, who wishes to abandon europe. we will be a good partner, another useless. so a lot rides on this week because some it's between friends and foes. meetings that count both for the outside world and for the voters back home. now joined by a rattle while she called us k, his former polish foreign minister, now

a member of the european parliament and the head of the parliaments, delegation for relations with the u. s. mister cookie. welcome to d. w. how relieved are you that is president by representing the us this year at the g 7 and know donald trump? well, very because he doesn't call us ho. he doesn't say that she trusts a lot to be put in more than he trusts a vi. and we no longer live in fear that he will dissolve mater with an overnight tweet. so we now have an honorable gentleman and reliable ally. it doesn't, we will agree on everything. but it means that we can do things together. now in an online pace, you recently argued that joe biden could be just an interlude to another 4 years of trump and that the u. s. a. u and us to move forward quickly. what should the priorities be? well, europe needs to do more on defense because if america gets involved in its competition

with china, we might actually be left on our own, even if the us wants to help us because the, the bandwidth and the capability is limited. so we should spend the 2 percent of g d, p on the fence that trump was actually right on that. poland does spend in germany, doesn't and germany is a major economy of course. so you should and we should show the americans that were capable of, of sharing the burden of global leadership. we should the technology council, us is an excellent idea. and the commissioner has just said the pre consultation before meeting. let me put you in is also a good idea. i know what the president by the should tell me, approaching. he should tell him that every time he murders or kidnaps someone from the west, like he's done in germany or britain or in chicken chicken in the czech republic,

we will double our assistance to russian and yellow russian democrats. staying with russia for a moment, a trump wanted to bring president, put him back to the g 7 table. biden comes with a promise to call out. instead of closing up to him, do you think the g 7 can find a unified message on russia, and what should it be? while russia should stop changing borders in europe by force? russia could, if she wanted to return to the talks on an association agreement with you, but it should also stop sustaining the increasing nasty dictatorship in villa. ruth, it should stop, as i said, already, murder, murdering people in our country's army. and of course, we would find it interesting to talk with russia about its true interests. these

are the china, the china, us competition for global domination is i think, going to be the organizing principle of this car for, for it and russia. it could play an important role here. even within the here though, there seems to be a lack of unity when it comes to russia. germany, for example, continues to cooperate with russia over the controversial node stream to gas line. gas pipeline project will be trading in gas in, in your, in russian gas in the ukraine was a major source of corruption in that country. that kind of corruption is now coming to germany. they've already corrupted your former chancellor. mister shredder. now there will be more gas, more money and more corruption. germany has chosen is economic interest over the geopolitical interest of the european union and in particular or economic interests

and political interests of ukraine. slovakia check republic and poland. so it's very hard now it's important to make the argument for european solidarity when the largest country in europe has on this behave selfishly. or i'd rather have chicago ski form polish foreign minister, thanks very much for speaking today, w as a and it turn off some other stories. making news around the world man miles military have opened new corruption cases against alfred later on songs to cheat. the charges include misusing land and accepting bribes to change. lawyers said the accusations are absurd. the army saved in a coup in february, but counting has wrapped up in peruse presidential election medal socrates, i get to declare a when i say the race between left us hetero, castillo and conservative kind. kofuji. maury is too close to cold. did you,

maureen claimed they were voting irregularities, but independent observers disputes that claim the borders of israel's prime minister. benjamin netanyahu have demonstrated outside parliament injury and on their opposing a possible governing coalition that could in his 12 years and power column. and is to vote on the coalition which was negotiated between right and left wing party. united nations and aid groups. a warning that 350000 people in ethiopia as war tone t grant region facing famine conditions the you and also says millions more are an urgent need of food supplies, the opium government disputes, the assessments. the don luez should be an active 14 year old, but he struggles to breathe. for a month, a don and his uncle lived in a cave, hiding from the wall raging around their home in t cry. but without enough food, they were still in danger. by much done had grown so weak,
