to work on other possibilities and getting his services out of ukraine through romania and mo, moldova and myself discussed this matter together with them both these countries. when i was there a few days ago, we working on, on getting this deville's on 3 road. so own rivers as well, and we've managed to increase the volumes. usually odessa represents a 5000000 thomas with 1200000. 1 point in, in april 1 point 7, a may and 2000000 tons in june. but we need to do more, make sure that they still can in wyoming, the countries where they're most needed and make sure as well. but this is being told before the next half it takes place in ukraine because we will and they will need to start to get the abilities family. other issues, of course,

we may know mobilized on an unknown global health. we went beyond the 1000000000 doses of vaccines that we committed in in them. carbs bay, please allow me to insist on 2 things. first of all, everything that was done to enable protection of vaccines in africa. we need to, to continue much fall through much for her there as well, and we made commitments. these are the senegalese them south africa. you may remember that a year ago was in south africa. and to them it put in place the 1st industry corporation project to develop the protection of vaccines in lam africa. this is them bring in a happening it. and so when we are now buying a vaccines for our forget, we're buying them a now for go. we're not buying them from the laboratories in your boils where it's important to bring about solidity to, to them. and then the cries isn't lined than the fact that we've emmett, need to continue to support to primary care systems. all this is when they're to

franchise in the vaccination campaigns can't be efficient. we also all to port the target of protecting 30 percent of land and sees by 2030. this is something we'll support for on and towards the convention for biodiversity in montreal, in december and, and we also share the ambition for the digital party quarter, ending out to building and building on the existing tools. and you have in mind a christ church appeal. the parents appeal as well as the g, b, i a global partnership. hold on to visual intelligence and we've been fighting for a number of years. we're ready to tackle this information in our country and anywhere around the world and in the mountains of the m, as in september we will l to work for a on putting together some sort of an i p c. c, against these information in a nutshell. and trying to cover an almost everything, but i'm sure i did not cover any everything. so this is what i meant to say before

answering your questions. thank you. the she 3 couch mind question by city hippa, amanda. good afternoon. thank you mr. present. a just said that the wall was far from over. do you mean that it nation, when mrs events case said he hoped he said in front of the details of the g 7 that the conflict should at the end the end of the year. do you think this is an edition? and then the 2nd question, mr. between said it was ready to stop the fighting one day for the ukrainian army. i got the order to stop fighting. what do you think about this d? so statement by yeah, we have between when 1st of all, i think to why that one should praise the commitment and the courage of presidents and ski and also the people of ukraine and it's army. and one says that there is

the objective of ending the war by the end of the year. you know that the war has been going on for 4 months. and the end of the year is a long time to go. but we still have to hope and i do hope, forcefully, that we can bring the war to an end by the end of the year. but there's one thing that is for sure, for sure, cannot and should not winn prison, preteen clarified something that i've already said. and this has really, really means that there is normal ambiguity as at the beginning of the conflict when there was some discussion is we had the impression on the bidding that are putting wanted to negotiate, but not the aggression of russia. ukraine has one objective for present putin that ukraine really decides to

to, to, to check a not when and this is not acceptable. so this is not a negotiation. and ukrainians will have to decide how they want to negotiate. so as to being the warranty. and there is no other option. i think this is mr. putting servers with intimidation. nothing more question by commission. s to judge . good afternoon. so good. say in english you talked a lot about the nutrition crisis. and so my question is how deep are the concerns that this crisis in africa and in the middle east could really escalate the crisis with high food prices and the hunger crisis. he bought new year, you'll see that i think the different topics, 1st of all, in the short run,

there is a search in prices of food. and i think that this is due to several factors. first of all, that lack of stability on global markets. the full value chains and production change for many foreigners why? because while the not necessarily have access to some grain which is necessary for feeding cattle and the distortion on that, you chains for fertilizers, for example, in africa and in the middle east and also southeast asia. they really were relying very strongly either a nitrogen fertilizer produced directly by russia or by input from ukraine. and then there's also speculation. this is something you should never forget when i'd take a look at the development in global prices, there is a lot of speculation and let's not be mistaken. i think that some people are making

a lot of money at the moment. so should find the means. she's made the stand, 1st of all, we need to release grain from re king. we need to find a way of doing this and i'd like to really forcefully. we are for the fact that no, no, nothing, and of what the g 7 is doing it. there is no sanction on food. this is again, something that are presenting is saying it's fake news. then again, we need to find a technique of solution so that nitrogen based fertilizer fertilizers can be a can be led to the countries that needed to or that there is an increase in production because it's very technical. a better thing than to the intermediaries that we're using to swift system. now we need to find some, some way of making sure that this product can be exported. this is something that should be done between the 11 commission ac n and the african union in the coming weeks. this is absolutely crucial. so i think

that this is an answer. and then we're, the ukranian production is not going to be up to the usual level and don't know what the capacity of exposure will be. in any case, there is really at the civilization in the global markets than bill distortion in bar codes and in the price is, what is diff to mean in? instead, there is a risk as to the access to food for part of the population. some vanilla population, this is the reason why we have put into place a system of monitoring or within the united nations. and the word for program says to be able to meet the needs. so we need really to deliver more food to the to populations. we have a system of monitoring and, or sort of a rapid response. now the food prices search in many of those countries can lead that to a particular crisis. well, i'd like to remind you of the fact that the arab spring movement about

a 10 years really a in, in bred prices. and i think that we all need to be extremely cautious about it. so those are the short term impacts. and this is how we're tracking and meet the needs and this is also the objective of the farm initiative that we have launched and organize a summit in a few days and ran it together with on this topic. so the 1st objective is we need to make sure that there is no food of them. in this case, if you have some food in some countries, no risk offending or so making sure that we don't have the storage of food in some countries. and we also need to increase production and target countries that need it most and also helping those countries to produce more in the short term. and so

this was a reason why we should find an answer to the nitrogen base. addresses french president manuel mccall and they're feeling questions at a press conference following a meeting of the g 7 leaders of rich democracies. if you're just joining us, you're watching d w. so special coverage of the g summit. g 7 summit is taking place in bavaria. it's been happening over the past 3 days. and of course we're, we've got special coverage for you now that it's finishing up. just before a manual on the con, the french president spoke, we heard from germany's leader of shots, the chancellor. he was also addressing the press outside are corresponded with mckayla cooper. was there is, well, we'll be going to her in just a moment. well, shots, closing 3 days summit saying russia was causing a hunger crisis through it's war on ukraine. he said, a new marshal plan was needed to help you crane rebuild g 7 members also condemned

russia's latest attack on a shopping mall in central ukraine with me here in studio is t w's. chief political correspondent, melinda crane, also covering the g. 7 events at the summit itself in bavaria forest is the w's brussels bureau. she fell on phenomena she, i understand, has moved on a we also, we now have mikaela cook, not our chief political editor on site, force them, me, let's cross over to her. now. we saw you there appealing it actually asking a question to transfer. so it's a short while ago. mikaela. tell us more about the press conference. what did the chancellor have to say? and how significant is that in the context of what's been happening at the g 7 so far? well, of course, this was overshadowed by ukraine. so i did ask him whether security guarantees were given to ukraine, whether there was a discussion amongst the d 7. and you can see right behind me actually the press

conference is just wrapping up as we speak here. we heard some thunder and lightening approaching as well. so it's a thunderous denali. here at the g 7 summit a just see what ourselves walking off the stage. there right now, and he asked, is the final question, got whether it was time now to really re attach with russia, have some kind of discussions with russia. and he said, well, this is a moment where there still really is no end in sight of the ukraine. crisis of the war, russia is waging there. we saw a condemnation by g 7, details of the attack on a supermarket. it was put in parallel with the word war crime. and you see all souls at walking off into the landscape there. but he's about to take a left turn and walk back up the road to elmo castle, which is right behind me. it was also the backdrop to that post press conference that has just concluded here at l. now, after 3 days of that, d 7 summit,

that of course was completely overshadowed by russia. what he did announces that he would seek a martial plan for ukraine, that he was seeking to organize a conference together with the you, you commission present, or is it a font, a line that substantial assistance was needed? and you see here, i'm actually standing right on that structure that you see that the top left corner a with that press conference or wrapping up at l mouth. the beautiful back drop could at times deflect from what is at stake here because we are seeing a geopolitical re shuffle in the making. and that's also why all our souls put such an emphasis on inviting those important democracies who turned to become economic power houses already of the present and the future name. the of course, at india. it also indonesia which holds the g 20 presidency. and that i also asked,

it would have salts where the d 7 came to an agreement, whether they will actually sit down together with that. a love rav at the russian, a foreign minister, and who has announced that he will indeed attend the d 20 meeting coming up next week. and what i felt responded that yes, the d 7 will be there at germany, also will be there as part of the g 7. because the last thing anybody wants here is to see a format that is so important for this sifting at g, a strategic re order to be dispersed. we heard chancellor schultz at the beginning of his statement. they're following the g 7 meeting. say that not only did the g 7, a condemned the attack on russia's an invasion of ukraine, but also that this is a watershed moment that this is a defining moment very much. so the way we that germany, at least deals with russia can never go back to the way it was before the invasion

. and he says, we're entering a time of uncertainty. this is a critical moment also for germany's role within the international community trying to show leadership under a new chancellor following on glom ackles long tenure. how did, how to chancellor sholtes stand up to the challenges facing him in the under these conditions? well, i mean certainly if he holds it dummy, hold to g 7 presidency. that's why all this is taking place. he was that she specifically asked why those bits of information that we got about the discussions going on behind the scenes. and they came mainly through the us delegation here. we also saw a really dominant joe biden when he announced the infrastructure and initiative by the, the 7 wild whites and 600000000000 put on the table. a lot of that not fresh money, but it does sound huge to have something to counter china's belt and road strategy

and germany being a lot more cautious when it comes to taking a stance towards china. now you can see this as a dominant u. s. president here at the g 7 and a german chancellor. not quite a taking that complete leadership role, but it also shows that joe biden is under pressure domestically. that there really is a, not that terribly much stamina to continue facing the pressure of inflation, of rising fuel and food prices. that is a global phenomenon. and really where all our souls, i think, scored quite a few points. also amongst the g 7 leaders here is to bring those partners on board to really get across the message that this is caused by russia and not caused by the sanctions imposed against russia by the west. that was the struggle here. and but it, no doubt this was dominated by the us. we can stay with us because we have

a clip from that press conference with all of shoulda. what's listening to what he had to say. g 7 stands together in their support for ukraine. we agree that president putin must not win this war and we will continue to support and we will drive the cost high economically and politically for president putin. and that's why it's important to stand together. even if it's a long course, we will have to stand. so the g 7 leaders obviously trying to come up with an answer to the russian invasion of ukraine. oh, how did, how did that play out for transfer sholtes at this g 7 mikaela? well, i mean he is not quite able to disperse the criticism of being to hesitate. busy

but what did happen is that he got heaps of praise from joe biden. it almost felt a bit patronizing at times, actually because joe biden is said that it was also thanks to the leadership, a very strong leadership piece, seen from all our salsa. there were some questions over the transition, meaning the transition from mac or at to the south administration here in germany, but it was thanks to leadership. so you know that, that of course, house, at the same time, it felt a bit like that the truly do the free world is handing out some compliments there. and we understand he did do quite a bit of mediation behind the scenes. not all d 7 countries are on the same page. there are gaps that remain when it comes to as c o 2 emissions c o $2.00 pricing very much seen as, as a european and concept that certainly does not translate across the atlantic to the united states as and japan, for instance. so there's quite a few issues where a g 7 leaders don't really have unity,

but ukraine is the one where they announced areas where they want to introduce new sanctions, including the defense industry, the goods there, but also services are supposed to be affected. also more individuals, but this areas were announced, we have not actually seen those being implemented and put in the force the same on the price cap for oil. that's an intention that the d 7 are still working on. so, hesitancy, melinda. if you're just joining us, this is melinda crane. are she political correspondent in the studio is also been following all the speeches today. i'm mother, we just heard mccaleb refer to the notion of hesitancy in association with all of shelters leadership. it's a criticism that has been, levied at him quite a lot of, particularly since the beginning of the ukraine war, the russia's war against ukraine. how was this summit for all of sholtes as a leader particularly given that the g 7, like nato,

is dominated largely about the united states? well, certainly we heard a lot of professions of unity as mashaila said, also praise from joe biden and praise as well from the chancellor for the u. s. and the strength of the transatlantic relationship. but the fact is, for all of those who thought that on february 27th, when chancellor sholtes gave his now legendary speech in the bonus tag, basically calling the ukraine war a turning point. and for all of those who believe that that meant this is the moment when germany steps up and punches at its weight, in terms of taking leadership on the international stage. i don't think that they will have found this g 7 to be a definitive manifestation that germany now is going in that direction. we saw for me at least a fairly hesitant and cautious olaf sholtes there. in this final communique, if i look at what the u. s said in background remarks earlier today, and there's

a read out of that call that is publicly available, there were much more definitive statements. for example, on china. china clearly remains foremost in the us perspective, despite the fact that russia and ukraine were very much the top of the agenda at this meeting. but the infra or initiative, for example, that me shiela just mentioned, that's all about countering belton road. china's outreach 2 countries in the global south, on infrastructure. this is about trying to come up with a western alternative. and in general, what i hear when i hear not only sholtes is comments, but also those are the french president. micron is a strong awareness of what schultz called putin strap, namely his narrative that this war essentially is about the west versus the rest.

it's the west's war. it's the west with its actions that is driving fuel and food price spikes that are hurting all of the global south. there's a very strong awareness here. obviously of that narrative sold, spoke about trying to counter the russian narrative. but when you look at what the summit concretely delivers, there hasn't been any concrete statement about how that green gets out of black see ports. that's an ongoing discussion, but they were not able to say anything definitive on that. now we do have the 5000000004500000000 euros being committed to greater food security that's outreach toward the global south. we had the meeting that invited the leaders of argentina, senegal, south africa, india, and indonesia. yesterday, clearly, behind the scenes, there must have been discussions with them about their imports of russian fossil fuels and whether they were willing to go long on some form of

a price cap and no no results there. we did hear some vague declarations afterward about the way that g 7 countries will be cooperating with them to try to boost renewable energy and green investment and so on. but all in all, if you look at what some of those leaders who met yesterday with the g 7 said afterward including south africa, which gave interviews here in the german media. that basically they're not ready to take sides. here. they are not ready to say the western narrative is the one that we're going with. what they said a south african foreign minister is that for them. this is the west's. this is the west game and they're staying neutral. this has been a particularly interesting summit in that, with these crises in the world are both the security crisis. so in here, in europe with russia's invasion of, of ukraine, but also the food security crisis that we're seeing,

the climate crisis. these are all converging to make this all very highly pressurized summit, like none i've seen before. i've covered a couple of them myself. we've got some sound bites course coming from those press conferences today that we want to play for you as well. it's a listening to what else was said at the end of this important g 7 summit in germany. we want to do justice to our global responsibility. this applies to climate protection. we talked about the question of a climate club, which i proposed quite some time ago. and that's why we agreed, and i'm very happy to say that we will be setting up such a climate club by the end of the year. we laid the cornerstone here and the next steps have already been agreed on because we agree we need more ambition in order to achieve our climate targets. the climate club will make a contribution to meeting these commitments. its crossover to our chief

political editor, mckoko who has attended the press conference of actually asked a question to transfer himself mckayla. we just heard chancellor shoals talking about a climate club, an effort again to combat climate change at something that has been coming up again and again, it passed so much of g 7 leaders. did you get a sense that this particular summit was tackling that issue with the way that there was going to make a difference in time will tell. but what is clear is that climate had to take a back seat. at this summit, the climate club was supposed to be the highlight issue, the highlight theme of the g 7 presidency of germany and then came ukraine. and what we seen is essentially the invites to this climate club, sent out its involves a recommitment to the 1.5 degree climate goal, a real, a commitment to, to renewable energy. and in the very same statement,

we see the d 7, the richest industrialized nations whose industrialization, voice, it's almost solely built on c o 2 emission saying under these exceptional circumstances of the ukraine who we need to cross our own red line, only written down last november in glasgow, allow for public investment in yet more fossil fuels till the time b. now, that really is not very much of a climate message, and that was also the christmas. many people demonstrating hilda was less than a previous, at the previous time. melinda, just briefly, we gotch, transel sholtes. they're trying to show leadership on climate change, being prostrated by the war. and ukraine also difficult for germany to show leadership in dealing with russia's invasion. ah, how difficult of a g of a g 7 summit was this for translational. the mountains to climb are pretty amazing

and traumatic as we could see in the, in the images from l. no. and you know, they're, they're out there with their walking sticks, trying to reach the summit, but it is an enormous challenge. one to thank you very much. our chief political correspondent, melinda crane, also on location there in bavaria at the summit. are chief political editor, mikaela cook. no, thank you to you by you are watching dw newsome, thanks for being with with with
