very global problem, like for example, climate change, like what distribution and production of vaccines and also foreign policy issues like china. and this issues like russia rich late is we're all smile for the traditional circle family photo. but how harmonious is the conference expected to be on one level harmonious because most leaders are happy that it with the president biden. they have somebody who is a partner again in the us, somebody who is standing up for multilateralism. so i think there is an agreement that they want this to be a showcase of liberal democracy and sending out the signals with the rest of the world. this is an attractive model of society. however, the devil of course, isn't the details. so when we are, for example, look at the issue of sending up to china where the us wants to see united from

there are more divergent views within the g 7. for example, angela mac of the gym and chancellor has had a very cautious a few words in her opening remarks when she said that without china as a partner, nothing can be achieved. for example, when it comes to climate change, speaking of climate change, this may well be the latest last chance to make a real difference on climate change. they expect any major commitments by the g 7 leaders. that is definitely what campaigners are doing for an extra or saying that this is really a make or break moment. we see, for example, the international energy agency just today saying that the demand for oil next year will rise, that they expect to rise to pre pandemic level. also, experts are saying that for example, when it comes to when it comes to,

to climate finance, you know, helping emerging economies that they're the g 7 leaders really need to do more. they have committed to stopping, for example, cold stations to, to, to stop the financing off that abroad. but exit. so saying that that much more needs to be done. so the pressure is definitely on for the lead this year at the summit. on the big speaking test from cornwall, m a g 7 summit. thanks very much. this is of course us 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 trans atlantic partnership is beginning. the president has landed joe by non european soil for a week of diplomacy, his message, the trump 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 district 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 receipts 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 biking has come to europe, the 3 summits with democratic clubs. first, the g 7 in britain, that nato and the european union in brussels before finally with russia is letting me biden's idea is that it's best to consult your friends before you confront your

rival, veteran german diplomat full going issue. that's a good plan. i think it is very smart. it is in terms of diplomatic of practice to meet with nato partners for and with you a part of this 1st before the meeting with bloody may put it by wants to be able to show putin and indirectly china to the when the west is united, they can deliver in ways that they cannot thank you for he denounced plans to donate more cove. it vaccines to poorer countries. and g 7 finance ministers of agreed a minimum rate of corporate tax to force global times. pay that 1st share. 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 north stream to pipeline biden. seas that is a major mistake that will make your weaker, more dependent on russia. both going issue fears. if europe doesn't step on it risk feeding from narrative that the transatlantic 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 want to be a good partner, another useless topic. 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 vote is back home. now joined by ross was she called us gay. he's a former polish foreign minister. now

a member of the european parliament and the head of the problem is delegation for relations with the us. mr. she coffee. welcome to d w. how relieved are you that is president by representing the us this year at the g 7. and donald trump, very because he doesn't call our cfo, he doesn't say that he trusts love 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 mean will agree on everything, but it means that we can do things together 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. a. u and us had 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 defense that trump was actually right on that. poland does spend it germany doesn't and germany is a major economy, of course. so you should and we should show the americans that we are capable of, of sharing the burden of global leadership. we should the technology council you, us is an excellent idea. and the mission guy has just said the, the pre consultation before meeting rather me put in is also a good idea. i know what our president, by then should tell me, approaching. he should tell him that every time he murders or kidnapped someone from the west, like he's done in germany or britain, or in czechoslovakia,

or check in the czech republic, we will double our assistance to russian and yellow russian democrats. well, staying with russia for a moment, a trump wanted to bring president putin 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 and nasty dictatorship and villaroo. 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 interest. these are

the china, the china, us competition for global domination is i think, going to be the organizing principle of this car for the sun, 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 co operate with russia over the controversial nord stream to gas line gas pipeline project. well, the trading and gas 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 it's 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 in poland to make the argument for european solidarity when the largest country in europe has on this behave selfishly. or i'd rather have chicago can't form a polish foreign minister. thanks very much for speaking today, w as a that's 10 now to some other stories making news around the world. famine is afflicting some 350000 people in northern ethiopia. according to you before the us lead analysis describes catastrophic food shortages, n t grind origin, devastated by fighting between government forces and rebels, it warns an additional 2000000 people could quickly die as nation without urgent action. pianos, military have opened new corruption cases against acid, later on some shape. the challenges include misusing land and accepting bribe and

cheese. lawyers say the anticipation accusations are absurd. the only things how in a qu, in february, 3rd counting has wrapped up in peru the presidential election, but aren't is yet to declare a when they say the right between left is pedro castillo and conservative congo. for g. morry is too close to call. maureen claimed there were voting irregularities and independent observers dispute that claim here in germany and knuckles. conservative a cd you party is once again taking the lead an opinion polls ahead of september as a general election. and that's bad news for the green party. just 4 weeks ago the grains had overtaken the cd you but since then they have been losing ground leaving many wondering if they've run out of thing. during last sunday to regional election in the state of sex and the and the greens suffered a setback, was they

a poor showing a sign that they were losing momentum ahead of september the general election. in a recent poll, the conservative cd you re took the lead with 28 percent. the s p d is polling at 14 percent the far right a, b, and the business friendly f. d p at 12 percent. the left party at 7. the greens are polling at 20 percent. germany selection campaign is not in full swing yet. so many people have other things on their minds, like the panoramic and the vaccine nation campaign. 47 percent have already received their 1st from i've always been off as soon as i was last week. i feel really, really, i think we all feel the same way nice. slowly returning to normal again. that's nominated to work with some of my friends. i've gotten the jap already and it's a great relief. my parents always go to vaccine needed. it took

a load off my mind. i think vaccinations being much better as well is a pretty bad start. i think in the now i think it's going great for, you know, i think germany good direction 71 percent of german say they have been treated fairly regarding the vaccination process. 53 percent. welcome the end of priority groups, while only 43 percent thing children, age 12 and up should be vaccinated quickly. last 2 and 3 german se, the curren corbett 19 measures procreate. more and more of the restrictions are now being lifted as infection rates decline. database chief, political editor, michelle, a kiffany is standing by at the green party conference in berlin. we'll get to the greens in just a moment. but 1st, when i look at that, what we just heard in the report, overall, people seem to be satisfied with the vaccination rollout across germany despite

let's face it, a pretty terrible start. and the country struggle throughout the pandemic. i mean right at the beginning during that 1st way it really was a success story because germany act is really fast and prevented thought, but it was very, very slow to pick up when it came to vaccinations. and i think that whole that we're just seeing coming in is an expression of the collective sigh of relief that you are feeling here in germany that most restrictions are being drop one by one. you can sit in a cafe outside again. you can go into a shop even some shop without getting tested and that's happening across the country. so it's the taste of normalcy. and that's what people appreciate. what about political support you are at the party conferences, we just mentioned of the green party who lost support and the confidence of voters it might've said so same how. how can that be explained?

well that was a couple of london were to blame that on the green side, if you got a couple of weeks ago with the greens rising and rising in some polls been passed on the la michael's consent to cdc's you doc, because they had a lot of in fighting. now that was were some mine, i'd say small scandals about undeclared christmas bonuses and also another bab off the top candidates who will be elected here on saturday. being called town not being precise enough when it comes to her stevie. those seem to be pretty much begin is mistakes, but it will cause raises. question is this policy? is this woman fit to become chancellor? and that's what the policy is grappling with at this very moment in time as they sit down. that's kind of physical meeting with just in the 200 people here in the room. just a few months out from the national elections in september, 1 of the green party going to do to try and win back the truck. well

they need to demonstrate unity, and that is the home weight they need to do over the next 48 hours and that has not been there 40 in the past. so it will be a very interesting test. how serious the party is, the leadership is and how curious will delegate saw about demonstrating that they can act together just by quite a few contentious debates expected on c o. 2 pricing fuel pricing here in germany. also potentially even more speedy exit from fossil fuels. here in germany, but in that everybody hopes will be more of a footnote. and everybody hopes that they can demonstrate that much, much needed unity to help climb those poles. once again, on mckenna, thank you d w at chase. political editor, mckayla kristen, reporting from the potty conference of the greens the sucker now and after

a year long delay because of the pandemic, the postponed euro 2020 is finally kicking off. the tournament starts tonight in rome, with italy taking on turkey for the 1st time in its history. the event will be taking place across europe. but even with h of the 11 host, it is clear to have found in the stadiums. there are concerns over whether the tournament can be held safely during the pandemic. on the european championships, i'm joined by fellow australian anthony, thanks for coming in. so i'll be in smaller numbers will be present at the euro's. that's going to be a step in the right direction, at least for fun very, very much so for everyone. if you've been watching football over the last year, and if you're honest about it, it's been lacking something initially there was something nice about hearing the thump of the bowl and the, the voices in the players chatting to each other. they've got it got lost in the end, and even having a limited number of fans makes a huge,

huge difference and football, especially international football, without the fans who is just about nothing. now, all venues committed to having fans in the study. and so it wasn't just a want to do it from the local point of view. this was a wife, amanda. i said if you can't have fans in the stadium, then you don't get the right to host. so local regulations, for example, in meaning alley on serena 14 and a half 1000 fans, approximately 22 percent of capacity doesn't sound like much, but it's going to make the biggest difference you can possibly imagine the, the fans off with both course line they provide that bait in the side in the hop to the not such a difference of the teams playing, you know, such that kind of energy. but given the live in limited number of available tickets must be a lot of disappointed fans. football fans are going to have to be patient and they're going to have to be flexible. that's what the pandemic told us, that particularly this time around, there are lots of restrictions. so you can't just roll up to the stadium, attention italian fans 5 minutes before the game. just expect to fall in

a 30 minute time slot windows through which they're going to have to fall in to get into the stadium on the way to doing that temperature checks or rapid rapid tests all along the way. covey tests are also possible on location. the problematic part of it is the fence that the regulations are different right across europe. this is so many different hosting cities and so many different different methods of regulating this as the by john is granted. quarantined exemption for fans playing in baku. the only place station getting up with a full stadium is budapest, phone to wherever you go, it's going to be different. but even for fans this time around rebecca, the original question. even now if you bought a ticket doesn't mean you're guaranteed to get in the situation is fluid. and we have in fact heard from once and there's not going to be that i'm one person that bought tickets for the year. also, i actually had tickets for, for like germany against like france, i guess. and i got an email like last week saying, i cannot tempt the,

the game. i'm sad. i mean, i was really hoping forward to it, but so going to work so. so rhymes, saudi olympic, i will have fans present for the opener with italy and to key. that's good news. great news. how many actually do you know? we are 16000 for tonight, roberta man cheney and he's completely transform team in the study olympic one at the host nations. they've come through undefeated in qualifying the rap against the really tough side in turkey. it could be very loud, not in berlin here, given the strong turkish population. and can i talk to you for the tape before we can, as i mean the, for the competition. and i'm not a huge football fan of that much about it. i've tipped italy to when would my chances? very, very good. you think it's harder? i think if you believe in miracles maybe isn't. oh no, i mean for the whole tone when i'm it is not all to not italy. yes. yeah. okay. you want to pick will be england. i can't believe i'm saying really. i know. okay,

well if that's the case, i've lost anthony how it, thanks very much rebecca. and that match kicks off in just a few hours time in rome's study olympic color. and in most cities that have pick stadium, it's the best known and most visited sports arena. that's not the case in rome, where it's overshadowed by a facility that hasn't been in use for over a 1000 years. d, w. sports reporter, lima, attacking travel, bear to take a look. the coliseum, also known as the mother of all stadiums. it's attention grabbing, no design has shaped football stadiums more from germany to spain, to england. the greeks gave us, but the romans perfected them by unifying to u shaped structure of the roman, the adopted, the greek theatre for a spot. the fighting sport basically submitted. they combined the suit either to

create an elliptical one or not. and that was matter. first of all, for the spectators, because you can see better, right? see, seem button on both sides. the coliseum in rome is nearly 2000 years old. it took 8 years to build and was used for gladiator fights, place, and execution. it could hold more than 50000 spectators to move spectators in and out of the coliseum as quickly as possible. the romans did something that has never been done before. they built 80 entrances with a very clever numbering system. every ticket corresponded to a gate number, which is similar to the entrances of stadiums. today. the romans also had a seeding hierarchy of the upper class, was closer to the action to the stadiums section by price

to protect against the sun. the coliseum even had retractable awnings. an influence on the roofs of modern stadiums even matched. a workers have withstood the test of time. there were, for example, and people that have to maintain the order. now like more, less late this to us of today, the coliseum was active for more than 200 years. with the fall of the roman empire amphitheater, the last they appealed and the rise of christianity be drove to extend to stage wasn't until the $1800.00 that sports facilities started to make a comeback. that was due to arise in the popularity of sports. and the revival of the olympic games, the coliseum is a model for sport stadiums worldwide. of course, they have a lot less blood element reporting from ron. you're watching the database,
