. the city's mer says the bloss shook historic central district and a residential complex was on fire. ah, i manuscripts, mccann, and welcome to the program g. 7. leaders have agreed to invest hundreds of billions of dollars in global infrastructure to help developing countries and bolster the world economy. the pledge was made on the 1st day of their annual summit, which is being hosted by germany this year. the 3 day meeting is also focusing on russia's aggression in ukraine, on energy security, and climate change. they are meeting in the tranquil surroundings of the bavarian alps. the top of the agenda is, of course, the war in ukraine and the world wide fallout. we've just tried to

overcome a global pandemic and it shook the global economy. and then, as the global economy was just recovering wash as vicious attack on ukraine happened. driving prices up everywhere from food to energy, and costing deep uncertainty, especially in the most fragile countries. as host german chancellor, olaf sholtes says the world is facing economic difficulties. just as big as the problems of the 1970s. when the g 7 was starting out, thinking of ox from falling growth rates, rising inflation, potent rule, material shortages and supply chain disruptions. these are no more challenges, and we must share responsibility. us president joe biden announced a $600000000000.00 g 7 initiative to boost infrastructure in developing countries with the aim of countering china's growing global influence. but developing

countries often like the central infrastructure tell, navigate global sharks like a pan damage. so they feel they impact more acutely and they have a harder time recovering in our deeply connected world. that's not just humanity, terry concern. it's an economic and a security concern for all of us. oh, tight security has so far prevented any unrest at the summit, but protested, have gathered on the fringes, mainly climate change campaigners and activists opposing germany's plans for a big rise defense spending. the leaders are considering more measures to punish russia for the war and ukraine. the u. s. canada, japan and britain of all announced a ban on imports of russian gold. the overall message is one of unity in the face of aggression. oh dear, i spoke to d. w correspondent, julius how deli,

his covering. the summit in southern germany. and i asked her what the money pledged by the $7.00 g 7 leaders will be spent on? yes, it's a meant to go towards a lot of development and infrastructure projects in developing countries. but also other kinds of projects. for example, trying to help these countries produce their own vaccines are for example, trying to build hospitals or, or other infrastructure projects. and the entire idea is for the g 7 countries to try to provide an alternative to china's belton road initiative, which puts forward up to a trillion dollars to help these countries also build infrastructure and generally putting money towards investment in these countries of a g 7 the g 7 leaders of believe strongly that these countries risk falling in dep traps and that china's influence in these countries politically and

economically has become a challenge to the g 7, but also almost a threat. so the, the g 7 countries seem like they want to put forward and their, their money, but also their central role also in their relations with developing countries. ukraine, obviously a big topic at the g 7 wanted the lead to say about the fall out of rushes, invasion of ukraine, obviously, condemnation for russia's attack against ukraine. all the leaders have said that it was a brutal attack, but importantly, there was a very strong show of unity. leaders have said that uh vladimir putin, russians that president was not really expecting a united front coming from g 7 countries and the west in general. and that the fact that these countries have been working together to support ukraine is really a strong sign. and something that is actually showing practical effects. for example, with economic sanctions,

which leaders here claim are having an effect in russia. and that's why they also are discussing some concrete plans for possible further actions. for example, a ban on a russian gold imports, a gold exports for russia or the 2nd biggest exports and after energy. and they are mostly exported to g 7 countries. so that would be quite a strong, a strong show of unity if they were to agree on something like that. but also being considered is a price cap on oil. something that the e u has said needs to be considered, but these are all issues that are going to be discussed also in the next couple of days. what about action on climate change? that, of course, would have been the big topic at this year's summit, had it not been for russia's invasion of ukraine. so. so what about why my action? it is not completely out of the picture also because the issue of climate is connected to russia's aggression against ukraine. because now a lot of these g 7 countries have to quickly tried to become independent of russian

fossil fuels. and by doing that, they also have an opportunity to move away from fossil fuels in general, and invest strongly and more rapidly in renewable energy. and this is something that is a moved also german chancellor olive shows for months he's had this plan of a climate club, of willing leading countries that are ready to be an example in terms of measures to fight climate change and who can maybe spur more impetus from other countries, for example, big polluters like china and india to go along and this is an idea that he is going to put forward here at the g 7, and he hopes that he will receive also support for it. julia, thank you. that was the w's political correspondent, julius, how delhi in bavaria, southern germany, turning to the war and ukraine now and multiple explosions were heard on the southern outskirts of the capital. keith authorities say more than
