3:30 pm
how green are they really? yeah, i said talk stephanie cheap will be get into more of that. but, but let's take a look at some of the stories around the world. at least 12 people have been killed in more than 100 injured in a massive gas explosion, essential china. the black talk through the residential and markets area lead problems any sunday, as people with eating breakfast, several buildings where to strike with us. as in me, i'm as big as young, has to be friday against the street, the chance at the guns before this present to our boys security forces very well, it's really take off that elected leader. and she said to go to trial on monday, anti government protested half class. the riots believe in the colombian capital book, or to thousands of people have been killed in 6 weeks of nationwide demonstrations be begun against the flounder tax. i have widened it into expressing anger of
3:31 pm
poverty, inequality and police balance. now is asked parliament half conveying to vote and a new government. the outcome is expected to mark the end of an era when a gate in prime minister benjamin netanyahu into a position after 12 years an office. a desperate coalition of parties is promised and is released new stop after 2 years of political turmoil. the breakthrough in israel long political stalemate came about 10 days ago. nestali bennett and pete managed to form a broad coalition without israel as long time prime minister benjamin netanyahu. it was the hard line, right winger, nestali bennett, become prime minister 1st followed after 2 years by central politician u. p. now the new government needs to be confirmed by a confidence vote in the connected israeli parliament after 4 inconclusive national
3:32 pm
elections and constant political turbulence, israelis hope for an end to this endless election cycle. and for a functional government, i really hope so. i really feel like it represents the many varieties that are and israel right now, and i'm very happy that we're going to have a government that it's not only one to political mass, quite confused, not very helpful. i understand the significant achievement, but i wish the government would have been form 6 months ago with more progressive. how soon in parties and jewish parties, it will be one of the most unusual coalition. governments is realistic in recent years from the hard line right to the center left. they have little in common, but the aim to our benjamin netanyahu look at so that all of these parties together, this is a new thing, a very wide coalition. and they have a lot of differences in terms of foreign affairs and security in terms of the
3:33 pm
economy in terms of religion and religion and state in any term that you have in mind. the government also has the unusual support of an arab islamic party. the small party made greater involvement in domestic politics, a key election promise law. suddenly we have, we lose being in the opposition and yelling on the sideline of the month is not the problems of our land land to home. and therefore, we have decided to challenge another home to 140 him benjamin netanyahu. and he's liquid party, as well as the orthodox block, or heading to the opposition bench. for now, that is, once the new government is finally confirmed and correspond antonio kramer is in jerusalem, tanya, there's been lots of tension on demonstrations,
3:34 pm
both for and against the new government collision. what's the mood today? and jerry said, well i can tell you him just standing right in front of mac, connected by the special session here behind me. there will be. a a confidence code and then the bearing and if the vote goes through and this is what everybody of course is no waiting for. now, it depends really who you ask if you are supportive of benjamin netanyahu is for a long term. prime minister says a lot of the appointment, also a lot of the anger, also among many writing voters that have cause you bennett and finance minister my take, the premier said a traitor. so that's why we also have some of the protests. now if you all got the people that i talk to, some of them, you know, there's a sense of anticipation, especially in the center left thing company is that something was changed. so everybody might be happy with the choice of the prime minister,
3:35 pm
enough tarley bennett, who will be active, shed a power sharing government. but they say at least it's something new that the 10th or something huge will be a government that might concentrate more on working for its citizens. it will be less polarizing and also less devices. so turning the collision said it acted to avoid yet another election. is this realistic scene, the why political spectrum it's represent? well, it will be very difficult and i think it's still too early to tell. you said it's like a white condition. we have hartline right? being ultra nationalist party, they're also headed by pharma ice of benjamin netanyahu. then you have a center parties and also kind of still was nothing a party and also the support of an are a party that represents posting and citizens. and so all of this is quite unusual
3:36 pm
and i think it all depends how are they going to work together? and you could already see. and the coalition agreement, set of main focus here they were published on friday, is says to tech, a social and economic issues, infrastructure issues that might not want to go that far to get, you know, into these ideological very difficult topics. but they might not even have it, so it's not to do so so, so to see how they are going to work together and listen. so just like you write me said as being a government like this before, and these are what are people say to the think it's going to work well, this is a big call because people have been, you know, 2 and a half years of political stalemate for elections, very short lived government with a government also to the government. but then you mean that some yahoo, that could and then you guns of the right. but didn't really function very well.
3:37 pm
and i think this is what people want to see. you know that it's a function of government, that's a government that's less occupied the person know politics, but really a government that's the taco know, the issues that they need to pack up, for example, also to pass a state thought to that have been passed here for some time. thank you tony grima and jerry selim. now, another big issue at a d 7 meeting has been how to deal with russia and it's controversial not stream to pipeline which will pump gas directly to germany. chance longer than macro supports the project. she says, see how constructive talks with you as president joe biden, who opposes it? na stream has critics here in germany to the w spot. if correspondent has a, has been out this weekend's green party conference. she asked cool, lead out robot hobbit if again still want to scrap the pipeline. yes, we do. absolutely. and also to a wrong project or wrong from the issue of climate policy,
3:38 pm
the german government and it says, have changed the roots. we want to be really climate neutral and 2040 that's can yes. mentioned yes from now. so we are building by building an infrastructure that is not needed in 20 years. this is our objective he wrong. and the big question is, geostrategic christian not seem to drawing the attention away from ukraine. therefore the european focus on ukraine would be weakened and therefore it's checked in ukraine. i've been here for some, some weeks ago. would be that the strategic interest in from europe into, in ukraine is recon so it's a wrong product. it's not your pin interest is not in the interest of climate protection. it's just business interests are put in. you just mentioned your trip to ukraine yourself. you cause some sort of a control the see when you called for an on delivery to ukraine. would you repeat
3:39 pm
this demand to send i'm, it's clear that for war in ukraine, in dunbar, it's lasting now. 7. yes, it's the longest since world war 2 in europe, and the attention is shifting away, but people still buying. and of course the solution to this could only be 5 pounds diplomatically. this is completely clear. but you have to push forward bet an austrian to could be one measure to bring back you can see because russia has no real interest in bringing peace to the east ukraine to inter dumbbells, but as long as people are buying and that is no real success, and diplomatic measures we should protect people, i would say, and this is what i suggested we shouldn't. i know it's not moving forward. we keep our eyes close. okay. and say okay, this is the own problem. i'm not asking to to, to, to i hadn't suggested tango,
3:40 pm
i planes. i just said that measures protecting lives of the ukraine people and so just they should be delivered from germany. what else would change your party? did enter a coalition government after september when it comes to the german russian relationship . why? we wouldn't think that business interest is the leading idea of foreign diplomacy. we would say it's, it's the life of people you had this talk of. said i not to handle the maybe president of bill or was if the if the election would be had what we had had correctly. so protecting people typing put them up and using our diplomatic commission that are possible. that would be the big change. and this would mean actually more hot attitude towards russia and the kremlin. ok, so there's no hope for the russian views here. the sanctions will be lifted. if the
3:41 pm
greens and the coalition government could be lifted if the minced agreement and the non, he talks what start again. so it's a step by step. if russia what behave more peacefully, if there were more diplomatic success than the tensions could be lifted, of course, but as long as the opposition of the opposite is happening. why should we do that? on the other hand, on the country research, not there is no stream to one question regarding your own party. you briefly even lead in the polls. so the chancery was within reach for your candidates and lena bab book, but then you saw a slump in recent weeks. how do you want to get back to that position of potentially entering the chancery in the course of the next 3 months where the election campaign has just started? it was clear from the stop at the high ranking ports after now, babcock was nominated, went to loss of cost. maybe they expected that they would go back.
3:42 pm
they went, picked back a little bit too low. this is obvious the case who we are not satisfied with the situation, but it's not dangerous or critical. it's just, it's just norma. and now we have this party convention quite fessler party convention. and i'm sure over the summer we have the chance to step back and climb up the ladder to success again. mister about havoc. thank you very much. thank you very much. jim. and green, spotty. cool. yeah. what are the topics talking to apple? it's called correspondence. nina has it. now, let's go back to our top story now. closing statement from the d. 7 summit in conwell, england, us president, you buy them is due to speech. shortly for analysis, i'm joined here in the studio by d w. steve international targets walker on from the us capital, washington by bureau chief in this fall. now let me start with you as if you can hear me. person biden's breast over the strip is intended to signal america is back
3:43 pm
and no longer america best right? well, you know, when we look at the picture, that's what we do a lot of hugging with a lot of laughing rather than buying the everything to show that is different from the former president. donald trump. sorry, i have some problems with my microphone. can you hear me? i can hear you much better now. can you hear me? i can hear you. sorry for that, so that, sorry for that. so. yeah, so president biden really wants to show that he's back on the as a reliable partner on the international stage. but you know, if you look a little bit deeper, the situation is really different and just take is not so much different from president trump, you know, for example, key areas like immigration or also the cobra 19 relief plan is very much really
3:44 pm
what like what president donald trump did, after all, i think it's fair to say that he, president biden, is managing global affairs as an extension of domestic politics. and that's pretty much the same. what's president trumpet? okay, back to you, richard. just a quick one on what it's both said. it's almost like it's 2 of the same people, but obviously there's a difference, right? well yeah, the tone couldn't be more different. you know, there is joe biden is back to the kind of classic transatlantic is much more the kind of us president that the europeans can relate to. and you really see that in a lot of the statements in mac, also in her, in her closing pro, comments to the price also kind of voicing her appreciation of joe biden. but yeah, i think, you know, along the lines of what he is saying that is absolutely right, that joe biden sees a,
3:45 pm
an increasing kind of confrontation with china between the u. s. and china is one of the defining kind of aspects of the age. and he's really trying to god and this sets him apart a bit from tra, from trump, he's trying to good western alliance western allies into that confrontation. donald trump is not so interested in having allies on side. but you do see that kind of trickling through to the community case. we were saying earlier looking for mentions of china. there are 4 direct mentions of china in the g 7 communique and doing this commit. now that's more than you've ever had out of a g 7 communicate before and calling out china. and basically, referring to concerns about chinese market practices about how much it really acts as a, as a free market in the, in, in free competition or how much state control there is in their calling for, you know, the timely and transparent expert lead size based investigation into the
3:46 pm
sources of the kobe outbreak. chinese, a very prickly about that they don't like being held responsible for the outbreak of the pandemic calling out china on human rights. and she jang, in the western muslim province. she jang and also in hong kong with this been this kind of draconian crackdown on freedoms in hong kong. and then finally on regional tensions in the south and east china seas and the course and across the taiwan strait. so there's quite a lot of language. there's quite a lot of joe biden in this communicate, and i think probably john donald trump would be watching this and think there's a fair bit of donald trump in this too. because this was really donald trump's kind of analysis of what had gone wrong with america. that the china was eating america's lunch and it was time to push back. so there's what the biden is doing in different way. one thing, i'm sure you're right, this stuff that he, if our president trump will be watching what's been going on back to you and give us a sense of how much that g 7 matches to americans. honestly,
3:47 pm
not so much. america is opening out. people are hours enjoying the sun, enjoying early summer. the united states is very, very much kind of focused on internal things going on. and this is also something joe biden has to face. you know, we always have to keep in mind. he has a razor thin majority in the senate, which he needs to really govern, but really needs to fulfill his huge and very important plans. and we have to keep in mind that the next midterms just around the corner, this is next november. so everything he does right now is really very, very much focused on keeping this majority in the senate and in the house. and therefore again, everything he does has a lot to do with domestic take on it. and therefore, he is very critical with china, justice richard walker pointed out he keeps being very critical of his russia and
3:48 pm
if anything, these are the 2 topics the americans are interested in, but the rest is far away and the problems here in the country are still big, i want some very brief responses from both you guys. we're talking about the g 7 into the u. s. making a lot of tough talk against china. is it going to make any difference? i'll let you start with this. it's always going to make a difference to china while they shouldn't need to partner then for example, germany is a very, very important part. and so they will definitely look very closely at the summit. so i wouldn't underestimate that as well. ok, well yeah, i mean, i think as much as building a corresponding beijing was saying earlier in the even preempting the g 7, the chinese to put out of state where the chinese embassy had put out a statement in london. essentially say, you know, these countries don't run the world anymore, you know, that, you know,
3:49 pm
we living in a new age and course that's right. to a significant extent with the g 7 was found in the 1970 in the small club of economies. really were the dominant economies of the world. that is no longer the case. they now have less than half of, of economic output. but i just wanted to also pick up quickly. one thing that just that said, just then about the importance of domestic politics. i think it was telling us that when we were watching boris johnson's press conference, you know, the 1st question he got, and this is in the country that he's hosting the g 7. he's in the, in the place where bar is johnson is the big guy inviting everybody. the 1st question was about whether britain was going to have to push back its opening up because of, you know, the, the rising cove, it numbers taking place in britain. so even in britain, the whole country of the g 7, a domestic issue comes 1st before anything that is really being dealt with the g 7
3:50 pm
. so i think that's the reality for almost any of the countries dealing with these big sort of foreign policy issues. the, you know, it, it interest people on the, on the periphery and certain people have certain interest in it and they can get kind of wip, talk about certain things, whether it's climate change or china or whatever. but still, domestic politics always comes 1st. yeah. sounds like that, i don't know if this is still with us and as if you still with us. so. busy there's been, you know, talk about how really the g 7 see china and all of this is china. i a part nice china, a full is china security consent. what is china to g 7? well, i think all of it, right. i mean, as richard just explained, china as role in the world is getting bigger and bigger and the united states feel that they are losing or maybe have even lost kind of their importance on the world stage. even so, joe biden is everything to show that he's back. and as we talked earlier on,
3:51 pm
every single gesture at this g 7 summit so far is meant to prove exactly that by china remains. one of the biggest challenge, not i think only for the united states, i'm here in washington, but for the whole she's 7 community. ok. i'll be surely with some of the big issues which are we talking about climate change and no, it cannot be done without the involvement of countries like china and russia. yeah, and this is, this is the really kind of difficult knob of the issue that we're not in an era like the cold war, you know, during the decades, because after the 2nd world war, where essentially the united states and russia, the soviet union sort of form their own blocks and really didn't have that much to do with each other. and then mainly interactions were trying to make sure that they stabilize the arms race around nuclear weapons as much as possible through, through, through talks to regulate the number of nuclear weapons. we're in
3:52 pm
a very different age now. china is hugely integrated into the world economy. countries like just as we were saying earlier, china is germany biggest export market. you know, all of the german car companies of turning out models and selling them to china. i think sorry to interrupt you here. let's cross now live to the g 7 summit venue in cornwall, where you as president joe biden, deliver his closing statement like to take. i thank you. remember who is our charge at the embassy filling in for him? master and ambassador will have one soon, but she did a great job for the entire team in yale is vital to keeping this u. k. u. s. partnership going and moving smoothly as it is now we've just wrapped up what has been an extraordinary here, collaborative and productive meeting, the g 7. everyone at the table understood and understand the seriousness
3:53 pm
and the challenges that we up against and the responsibility of our proud democracy to step up and deliver to the rest of the world. that should the g 7 is all about. and rallying the world's democracy to meet the challenges that the world faces and deliver for our people and for people quite frankly, everywhere. and in append, demik and maintaining robust support for an equitable, inclusive global economic recovery where the top priorities of our nations as we got together. we know we can achieve one without the other. that is we have to deal with the pen demik. and in order to be able to deal with economic recovery, which as we're doing in the states, but we committed that we're going to do more for the rest of the world as well. the fact is that we, the u. s. contribution is the foundation foundation to work out
3:54 pm
how we're going to deal with a 100 nations that are poor and having trouble finding vaccines and having trouble dealing with re reviving their economies if they were in the 1st place in good shape. and we, i committed that we would provide a half a 1000000000 half the building beyond the 80000000. we've already got half a 1000000000 doses of visor vaccine, which we contract to pay for. in addition, the money we put into the coven project, which is that covered it. and i know you all know of a lot of people may not know what covered is. that is a system whereby they're going to provide funding for stage to be able to get access to vaccines on their own as well. but the bottom line is what that generate . it was a commitment by the rest of our colleagues to g 7 that they would provide another
3:55 pm
half 1000000000. so we're going to have a 1000000000 doses of vaccine. and in our case, the that's includes sharing more than not just $1000000000.00 doses overall, but we're going to provide for $200000000.00 of those doses by the end of the year . another 300000000 by the 1st half of next year. and so it's really greeted with someone, susie as them, and we've agreed to work together so that the world is better prepared to detect and deal with future pandemic because there will be future pandemic. we have a, i'm sure you've seen it. if you haven't, you'll get it a joint statement, we put out of the g 7, you'll see that i'm sure and we are committed to follow on to do some significant work, including not only how we deal with the distribution and help and getting shots and arms for the rest of the world, but how we're going to deal with putting together mechanism to anticipate and deal
3:56 pm
with and be aware of the next the next pandemic when it comes along and there will be others. and we also agreed to take important steps are going to support global economic recovery by laying the foundation for and equitable global economy. critically, g 7 leaders endorsed a global minimum tax of 15 percent to many corporations and engage the motor essentially tax havens. deciding that they would pay considerably less and other in other environs around the world. and, but there's going to make sure there's a minimum tax and i'm going to have, i'm going to move on this at home as well. minimum tax for corporations to pay for the property they make anywhere in the world. and this agreement is going to help arrest the race to the bottom that's been going on among nations attracting a corporate investment at the expense of priorities. like protecting our workers
3:57 pm
and investing in infrastructure. we also made a momentous commitment at the g 7 to help meet more than 40 trillion dollar need that exist in for infrastructure in the developing world. i put forward an idea that was called we named bill back better world partnership, which is we're calling to be 3. and the point is that what's happening is that china has is built road initiative. and we think that there is a much more equitable way to provide for the needs of countries around the world. and so it has been as values driven, high standard, transparent financing mechanism are going to provide support projects and for kia key areas, climate health, digital technology, and gender equity. and we believe that will not only be good for the countries,
3:58 pm
but to be good for the entire world and represent the values that are democracies represent and not autocratic, lack of values by her as the for potential of those who are harassing, we're going to have to change this change things, that's the whole idea. but here's the deal. we're going to make sure that we are able to pull together the ability to use the development financing institutions and other development tools to expect the ball new infrastructure investment in low and middle income countries over the coming years. much of it coming from the private sector, which will generate the capital put in will generate significantly more capital from private sector. we also made a historic commit leave to permanently eliminate the use of our public finance to support unabated coal projects around the world. and to end to end, and by this year the g 7, a agreed to that and those are not members,
3:59 pm
but visited members who are participated in the g 7 who have coal fired facilities and also agree that they would work in that direction as well. so transition the world to clean energy sources is urgent. it's essential if we're going to be the climate. and there is one of the things some of my colleagues said to me when i was there as well. the united states is leading leadership recognize there is global warming. and i know that sounds silly, but you know, we had a president last to basically said it's not a problem from a warming. it is the existential problem facing humanity and me and treated that way. so we're going to provide up to $2000000000.00 to support developing company countries as they transition away from on the beta coal fired power. in addition, we also agreed to tackle corruption, which is a threat to societies everywhere. i pointed out in a conversation i had with,
4:00 pm
with one of the leaders of, well, actually with china. and i was, it was a request for me not to try to. when i was asked what i was going to be doing. after me an electron, i said we're going to reestablish the strength of american relationships. so we can be counted on again, alliances and suggested that, well, maybe you shouldn't get the quite meaning india, japan, australia in the united states working together. and maybe you shouldn't be pushing on strengthening the european union to deal with the west to have and so on. and i said, for an american president to every, every president to be sustained or prime minister, asked to represent the values for their country. and i pointed out, and i mean this is selling were unique as a country rebuild.
