and i think that is what are the people of the, of our countries now want us to, to focus on. they want to, to be sure that we're beating the pandemic together and discussing how will never have a repeat of what we seen. but will say that we're building back better together and, and building that greener and building that sarah and building that will equal g 7 later. the green joint approach is the only way to end the pandemic and tackle the climate crisis of the we need everyone across the world to one to work together, especially on the issue of climate protection and bio diversity where we will never find solutions without china. hundreds of climate change protest as much to bring their message as needed to the summit venue as they could get the so we've got

a situation post code it with developing countries drowning in debt as a result of cuz it's failing to get vaccines and failing to get the climate finance they need to help them mitigate their mission. so they're back to the climate crisis. so it's situation of staggering inequity. and we feel that this needs to be brought to the attention of the g 7 leaders. as day, one of the summit drew to a close activist stage vigil to remember the estimated 3700000 people who died in the pandemic. they'll be looking for more definite measures to emerge before the gathering wraps up. a short time ago, i talked to alexander graph, lumped off the german lawmaker in former vice president of the european parliament . i asked him to respond to criticism that the g 7 plans to share, at least 1000000000 shots with developing countries,

has come to late. european union has made a great effort to step up to its obligation early on. then there was the globe, a program called kovacs. it's a reality that the united states in the united kingdom have not exported vaccines. so if the u. s. and the u. k. now joined the u because in looking out for the countries of the global south, i think it's a very good development very much. okay, well demonstrative unity. warm words are relaxed, atmosphere generally is the coolest geology we're seeing. simply the hope of a post trump era, or is it a reflection of real substantive policy agreements? well, both, i mean like you've probably also seen these images from the g 7 meetings with donald trump, with an attendance to everybody's rotation. it was a very unusual way of offending the summer meetings by and then you, you as president and joe biden is somebody everybody knows the united states are

back in a stronger position. they cannot make recoveries. strong, vaccine campaign has gone well. and joe biden is, well, 1st of all, he's a, he's a man, you can deal with a man of his word. and it's somebody who will listen to his allies around the table, as you can see, by the way, from the choreography of the coming days. it's now going to be nato, then you and only then is he going to meet the russian president. so the western world has come together at this g 7 meeting and i think that's a very good signal. you mentioned president putin, so let's focus on russia for a moment. trump wanted to bring president putin back to the g. 7 table. biden comes with the promise of calling, putting out instead of cozying up to him. what do you think the g seven's message to russia should be? well, 1st of all, that there is

a united view of russia policies concerning ukraine. this is the legal annexation of crimea. there is the civil war, are supported by russia, fomented by russia in these and ukraine, a country that russia promised to protect when ukraine gave beckett's nuclear weapons. in 994. russia promised to protect the territorial integrity of ukraine by and large national policies are aggressive and unfriendly. and i think to have the western meetings, as i said g 7, day 2, and you before the u. s. ration summit, i think the signal is very strong. that the americans are now looking for western unity, and i think they'll be able to come up with it as well. while the list of problem solving is long economic recovery after the pandemic unified action plan to protect the world's lands, notions to fight climate change. but as chancel americal mention, china isn't even there. how substantial can the results be without

a central world player like china? well, of course, the g 7 cannot save the birds to the g. 7 was originally started out as an informal gathering around a fireplace of western leaders to talk without media presence without diplomats without advisors. as a very small informal setting, it has turned into a meeting that everybody takes an interest in, but it has never explained to solve the problem. the united nations are for that the 20th for that. but it's not the place where the work problems as of the place where western liberal democracies gather to compare notes and to agree on certain steps. and then the next step, you talk to countries outside of the g 7 to bring them on board or to listen to their ideas, demands and, and yes and hammer are compromises with them and, and,

and try to find solutions with them. driven law maker alexander a graph lunch of really do appreciate your time and your perspective. thank you. the united nations in aid group so warning that 350000 people in ethiopia is war torn to gray region are facing famine conditions. the un also says millions more are in urgent need of food and assistance. the landscape t grove fighting, but not the resulting hunger. the conflict in northern it's jo pierre has been brutal. the food shortage abroad has left adults week and children severely malnourished. oh, the un says hundreds of thousands are likely to die and it's the young ones who are most vulnerable. this baby is
