i pointed out in the conversation i had with, 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 quiet 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, not just to have and so on. and i said, for an american president to every, every president to be sustained or prime minister to represent the valley or country. and i pointed out, and i mean, this is sailing. we're unique as a country rebuild on where we're unique in the sense that we're not based on the

city of geography or religion where one nation is. and we organized on an idea, we hold these truths to be self evident that all men and women are created equal. sounds corny, but it's real. and any president doesn't act consistent with what the read. the reason they taught for the nation is, cannot be sustain that the support of that country. and so what we're able to do is we know that corruption undermines of trusting government ciphers off public resources, makes economies much less competitive, and constitutes a threat to our security. so we're going to work together to address issues like the abuse of shell companies, money laundry, into real estate transactions. and we've agreed they're going to work together. cyber threats from state and non state actors like criminal ransomware, networks, and whole count of countries accountable that harbor criminal ransomware. actors don't hold them accountable over the past few weeks. the nation, the g 7 of

a firm that democratic values that underpin everything we hope to achieve in our shared future that we're committed to put them to work. one delivering vaccines and ending append demik to driving substantial inclusive economic recovery around the world. 3 in fueling infrastructure development in places that most badly needed and for in fighting climate change. the only way we're going to meet the global threats that we're is by working together and with our partners in our allies. i conveyed to each of my g 7 counterparts that united states is going to do. our part america is back as a table is america's back of the table. the lack of participation in the past and in full engagement, was noticed significantly, not only by a leaders in those countries, but by the people in the g 7 countries and america's back in the business of

leading the world alongside nations who share our most deeply. hel values, and so the bottom line is i was very pleased with the, with the outcome of the, of the entire conference. and you know, i noticed there was a lot of coverage of my individual comments made by my colleagues about how we were all getting along together. but the truth and matter is we did resent i felt. and what about me is out america. i felt a genuine sense and with those yes, that america was back in the table and fully fully engaged. and now i'm going to be heading off to brussels to nato. and the same, many of the same people are going to be at that table. and in nato and to make the

case we are back as well. we do not view nato as a sort of a protection racket. we believe that nato is vital to our ability to maintain american security for the next, the next to the command of the century. and there's a real enthusiasm. i made it clear. and i pointed out, i thank and you know we article fives and tack and wanted to tack on all. well, what americans sometimes don't forget, remember what happened on 911, we were attacked immediately, nato supported us, nato supported us, nato went to we got in line, nato was part of the process. and i want them to know, unlike whether they doubt it, that we believe nato in section 5 is a sacred obligation. bottom line is, i think, i think we've made some progress and re establishing american credibility among our

closest friends and our, our values. now, why don't i take some of your questions? and i'm told jonathan, i'm suppose to talk to recognize you 1st. i appreciate that glad thinking. who really be today in geneva, federal a couple of days ago that he believed us russia relations were at a low point in what concrete ways to your stomach chain was us president, to bite in his closing remarks at the g 7 summit. we're back with the w chief international edits, average walker and the w. washington bureau chief in his full. and if what you scored, you'll biden's view on the international stage, asked precedent it was very interesting, brief, but clear for me the outstanding lines is really that he is willing or leading the world again alongside nations who share. he says, oh, well, yes, it was a lot about strong democracies that kind of set the tone

a little bit. you know, us read the true, the real democracies against other nations who don't follow these values. so that was really an underlining topping on my topic on my take. i found it interesting that he again talked about the idea on which the united states is found and that's what he did a lot. so during his last presence here in the united states, he keeps saying we are not founded on because of geographical ideas at all because of shad really shared religion. though we are founded we are based on an idea on our democratic values. and that's also kind of red ribbon which went through this press press right now. and then i think it was also very interesting that he really made a big,

big point about climate climate change underlying his commitment to fight the climate cut catastrophe. and him and his administration being really willing to put a lot of money or take a lot of money really to help other countries to have them on their side in that regard or just any quick addition to this. yeah, well i mean, i think i would definitely agree with what you were saying it's, you know, one quote, you know, america is back and back in the business of leading the world. you know, this was a wonderful quote from the press conference which i think definitely you know, echoes, you know, the message that we've been getting from bio really since the beginning of the year that he wants to get and get back into diplomacy, rally the allies of america around the united states can also determinants of the drum is and then turn to the terms of the big challenges. so i think kind of, as we were saying earlier, this idea that you know, he wants to project with this g 7 and with the other. some it's coming up the next

few days in a sense of unity between these western allies and a sense of competence that when we stick together, then we can get things done. but as we've been saying earlier, i mean, there isn't total unity, you know, received quite a bit of language about china and they communicate. but they've been the tensions about northern ireland between the you and the british that are tensions between the americans and the germans over this nord stream to, to pipeline that we were just looking at earlier. so, so it's not as if everything is totally kind of perfect and harmonious again in the relationship. but yeah, i think that the slogan that he'd come up with america is back. i think this is something that actually the european partners would almost echo. and in fact, manuel my coal was asked that by a report for a couple of days ago, you know, america back. he says, yes, i think so. well, is america back as seems obvious, the lead time would tell what that will mean. this s d w news life, i'm barely enough of us just joining as we're bringing you coverage of the closing

day of the g. 7 summit in cornwall, england need this of the well to purchase nations have been announcing what be agreed. after 3 days of talks, the final day focused on climate change would lead us setting new goes to have covered emissions, gemini, shops, long, and mac. all those us that risk countries, we're spending billions to help for a nation to develop. the end of the fund that make was also at the top of the agenda, with plans to donate billions of doses of cobra, $900.00, things to 4 countries need se they will also create an infrastructure spending program that counts global investment by china. the summit has been posted by u. k. prime minister, both johnson and his closing remarks. he spoke of the need for the g 7 nation to lead the way on tackling climate change. but it will have a future if we don't work together to tackle the climate change based on the util, cochran which will galvanize was the actual title, climate change,

and help and create a healthy plan for our children and grandchildren. g 7 countries, a time for 20 percent of the carbon emissions. and we were clear this. we can, the action has to start with us. but in the countries gather here this weekend, not just the g 7 straight india, south africa and south korea. the join us, i should say, case i joined us virtually, not just our goal to tackle climate change, but also of democratic values is not good enough for us to rest on our laurels and talk about how important these values are. and this isn't devising values on the rest of the world. what we, as the g 7 need to do is demonstrate the benefits of democracy and freedom and human rights to the rest of the world. now we have coverage at the g

7, summit closing statements. i'm joined here in the studio by the abuse chief international editor richard walker, and from the summit venue in cornwall, england by w correspondent, beg mass maggots. what do you make of prime minister johnson's take on the summit? well prime minister boys, johnson, in his typical optimistic and manner, he was the host to the summit where the west really said that they are standing together again. and that multilateralism is back. and boys johnson will be very proud that he, he is the host to someone like this, and the imagery will be amazing for him. the sunshine and cornwall, the barbecue on the beach, the 3 generation of royals that have impressed leaders like america, like she said, it was moving to meet them. so that all looks very, very good for him. but the underneath, there are some tension and one is just the example is the issue of brag seat. there

is the thorny issue of border control in northern ireland and then the u. k. and the e u. a really at loggerheads. and this is something that has actually in a way overshadowed the summit. so it is looking good for me on one hand. but obviously if you look a little more closely, there are some tensions. definitely, definitely says that feeling you also have, well, yeah, i mean, as we've been saying that there are, you know, just the fact that joe biden has, who's come into the presidency, doesn't make all of the issues between either europe in the united states or within europe. completely disappear, breaks it is a major disruption in the relationship between britain and the european union and aspect of it really not going well. and the 2 sides seem to be pretty dug into their respective positions over this really quite complex issue of how to deal between with trade, between northern ireland and the republic of ireland and the united kingdom. so

resolving that is not going to be easy. but i think, well, maybe another thing that we could maybe touch on is quite an interesting thing to come out of this g 7. is this idea that the western world needs to provide an alternative to what the chinese have been putting around the well to the last 7 or 8 years, which is the belgian road initiative. you know, the huge like infrastructure plan where china is trying to connect. it's itself to came to europe, to africa, even extending as far as last in america to kind of joining joined up many other countries to, to its economy. this has been going on for the last 7 or 8 years, hundreds of billions of dollars worth of investment kind of pouring into that. and also with that money comes political influence, you know, the chinese essentially it's being seen as kind of buying up political influence in many countries around the world. so rather, joe biden has come out and say,

you know, the g 7 needs to come up with a knowledge to this worth westcan just like, let this happen. let's come up with something. so he's come up with something which he says he wants to cool, build back better world, and the acronym they want to go for it, be 3 double billed back, better world. and they want to create a kind of framework for, for infrastructure investment in a certain area, certain range of areas where he says it will be values driven, it will be transparent, it will be a better alternative to the chinese plan. but it's a really open question whether anything will come out of this was quite a thing is the g 7 doesn't actually have a, it's not an institution. the g 70 is simply like a set of meetings that kind of rotates from country to country. here in situation that should say, all right, let's put this into practice. so they've set up a task force for this, but they've been various degrees of interest in data from the various leaders. and

it doesn't look like it's going to be a massive like centralized, state driven enterprise like like built a belt and road. it's an open question whether whether.
