the g7 agreed to that. and those who are not members but visiting members who are participating in the g7 who have coal-fired facilities. they've also agreed they would work in that direction as well. so transitioning the world to cleaner energy sources is urgent. it's essential. if we're going to beat the climate -- and there is one of the things some of my colleagues said to me when i was there was, well, the united states' leadership recognizes there is global warming. and i understand that sounds silly, but we had a president who basically said it's not a problem, global warming. it is the existential problem facing humanity. and it's being treated that way. so we're going to provide up to $2 billion to support developing countries as they transition away from unabated coal-fired power. in addition, we also agree to tackle corruption, which is a threat to societies everywhere. i pointed out in the conversation i had with one of the leaders of -- well, actually with china. and it was a request for me not

should the g7 become more muscular?n in saying that the un is a far from perfect institution and the g7 can do more. i think the g7 can do more and i think impact that is happens. when the security council get stuck because of the veto power of what we call the p5, the permanent members of the security council, we have to find other ways of being more creative and we have seen this. the emergence of what is called the magnitsky sanctions in a number of countries, which has made a difference in terms of our ability to implement sanctions and make them more targeted and more effective. the fact we have been able to create new accountability mechanisms in dealing with the situation in syria and in dealing with the situation in _ myanmar, even though, you know, we don't have the institutional strength to actually enforce things more quickly, we face this dilemma since 1945. the structures we created are not perfect, but i think there is a much stronger keener sense among a number of us that we have to become more effective

it has now been approved as well by the g7.nd we initially had a virtual summit, solidarity, and we initially had a virtualsummit, g7 solidarity, and we initially had a virtual summit, g7 sub and a few months ago in which we had already taken some commitments and we were able to take stock in the financial elements together with our african partners on the 18th of may. but the summit here enabled us to speed up on a number of things. first of all on a number of things. first of all on doses, sharing. 0n on a number of things. first of all on doses, sharing. on february our second target of sharing and given some 13 million doses in order to vaccinate first of all the front—line staff in particular the carers. this has been done and like i said we wanted at the time to reach 40% of the global population to be vaccinated by the end of the year and 60% by the end of next year. traffic on the on the caribbean, the indo pacific, asia and the rest of the world. and through this g7 we have committed much to endorse this target and to

written for the g7 countries themselves but for the g7 countries themselves but for the g7 countriesng the g20. so other areas where this is happening is global cooperation tax deals, the approach to debt in developing countries, climate change. it's a really influential group, not as dominant as it would have been 30 or 40 dominant as it would have been 30 or a0 years ago but it's a very influential group. but then there's another set of issues that i think also be important, perhaps increasingly important, the g7 countries work out among themselves things that they feel they need to do in order to protect their interests so this might be in the area of digital governance, for example, orsome area of digital governance, for example, or some of the issues to do with investment screening. and the g7 can be an important forum in those economic security areas, enabling the g7 countries to work out what they want to coordinate on. the key thing is that one needs to be integrated with the other, and thatis be integrated with the other, and that is one way why it is helpful to do both of t

it will be a big. topic at the g7. i think one - of the major results could be to find a strategy, - or how to engage with china on fighting climate change, and without letting go of the other very. important norms and values we have to defend against china. . senator rui matsukawa, you have a very different perspective. you are a lot closer to china, no? for a long time, when the european nations were very different, japan has been very consistent about paying attention to the chinese authoritarian behaviour, especially in the security field. especially in the sea. it is japan actually who proposed the strategy, and that's now unfortunately — the us has been employing and work together, the coalition of the quad. australia, india, japan, and the us. we are really happy and japan is really, really happy that the major european countries like the uk and france and germany have more interest in the pacific. what i would like to say about china is for china, japan and china have a long history. geographically, we are very

for world leaders attending the g7 summit. among other senior royals attending the event, prince charles, who spoke to the leaders about his work on climate change. earlier, g7 leaders held talks on the global recovery from the coronavirus pandemic. they are expected to make a pledge to give one billion vaccine doses to poorer countries. a teenage girl who filmed the murder of george floyd has been awarded a special citation in this year's pulitzer prizes. she was recognised for highlighting the role ordinary people have to play in journalists�* quest for truth. and italy have beaten turkey in the opening game of euro 2020, winning 3—nil in rome. the football tournament was postponed last year because of the pandemic. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the daily mirror columnist, susie boniface — known as the fleet street fox — and madeline grant, who's the daily telegraph's parliamentary sketch writer, as well as a columnist for the paper, too. welcome to both of y

and the european union and the g7. be brave to say that russia has idiosyncrasy to these points. this is a point that i agree with. it is a strong statement, on behalf of the g7. but it seems to be irrelevant at the moment. because i think that for russia, the belarusian crisis, the navalny crisis, the ukrainian crisis, these are the matters that should be tackled. without external interference. >> i'm sure they would agree they should be -- there should be external interference and there shouldn't be russians fighting on their soil. >> well, how can you explain, what is russian interference? >> russian invaded crimea -- russia invaded crimea. russia is supporting the president of belarus. we could have this argument, but let's not have this argument now. this illustrates the differences between the two positions, the position from the u.s. and the eu and the position from russia. you can't even agree on what crisis actually exists. when you have problems like the coronavirus, tackling climate change, rebounding the gl

we need dynamism from the g7. he is right about that. in this recovery, we need to make sure this is not as unbalanced as the last one. he was powerful on that point. sorry. the answer is very simple. this is the area of the world are in the next 20 or 30 years you're going to see the most dynamic economic growth. the middle class is rising. and where there are some tensions at the moment, we think they can be allayed by proper observance of the international system in which we believe. the u.k. together with our partners in the g7, including italy, is determined to do that. thank you. >> there were talking about the plan -- $100 billion a year. alongside that is a promise to develop a plan for climate. how are when might that happen? a few years ago, it was concluded that the g7 was not serious about climate. we are short of the 11 billion doses we need to vaccinate 70% of the population before years g7 summit. i'm wondering whether you think the u.k. has the moral authority to bring other countries on board? >> on the first point about

what will you be looking for when this g7 wraps up, anne?que. that sort of diplomatic speak for the -- the agreement that they all make. some of that is before they even sit down but if you recall, donald trump refused to sign those one year. and didn't even try to do one, another time. so, the fact that they are going to do one that will be a group agreement, among the seven. with input, also, from the european union, which is represented here. that will be significant. and then, really, from the u.s. perspective, this three days will be a success if they can get any kind of group agreement to say something a little tougher than usual about china, point one. and point two, just to have it and to, all, be together. to -- to be seen walking around, without masks. it's -- it's a symbolic period, on the end of the pandemic sentence that, i think, the united states certainly is very eager to help project. and, you know, for all of the logistical challenges and -- and pandemic restrictions here, in -- in the uk. they are really trying to do that.

that's what the g7 is all about. rallying the world democracies to meet the challenges that the world faces. and deliver for our people and for people everywhere. ending the pandemic and maintaining robust support for global and inclusive economic recovery are the top priorities of our nations as we got together. we know we cannot achieve one without the other. we have to deal with the pandemic in order to be able to deal with economic recovery, which as we are doing in the state. -- in the states. we are committed to do more for the rest of the world as well. the fact is that the u.s. contribution is the foundation to work out how we are going to deal with it -- deal with nations that are poor and having trouble finding vaccines and having trouble dealing with reviving their economies if they were in the first place in good shape. we, i committed that we would provide half a billion beyond the 80 million we've already done, half a billion doses of pfizer vaccine which we contracted to pay for. in addition to money t

today, the g7 summit kicks off in cornwall, england. i'm expecting a discussion on wealth inequality, how to redistribute wealth. this goes for this idea of taxing corporations more and having a minimum global tax. it goes to distributing funds from these wealthy nations to poorer nations that have been harder hit by the pandemic. we will hear more on that today at 10:00 a.m.. this, to me, is the data point of the week. this is the university of michigan consumer sentiment survey for june. i'm not looking at the overall numbers, i am looking at the five to 10 year inflation expectation. the last reading, we saw the highest level since 2011. how much higher will he get as people shrug off the fed's input for inflation and go to the grocery store, buy a used car, buy a new car and they say this is serious inflation. that is what we see in the sentiment surveys, arguably inflation expectation among consumers will lead to actually inflation -- to actual inflation. janet yellen is presid -- presiding over the committee. as you see real yield

when the g7 is hosted in the u.k. of course, that comes ahead of mr. biden's personal meeting with the queen. that will be tomorrow. we'll have continuing coverage of the g7 right after this on cnn. kim? >> yeah, so many interesting threads and compelling narratives to follow, which you'll be back to do next hour. that wraps this hour of "cnn newsroom." i'm kim brunhuber and we will be back with more news. please do stay with us. dad, why didn't you answer your phone? your mother loved this park. ♪ she did. when you skip the rinse with finish quantum, you save up to 20 gallons of water each time. finish quantum with activblu technology has the power to remove the toughest stains without pre-rinsing for dishes so clean they shine. join finish and skip the rinse to save our water. wanna help kids get their homework done? well, an internet connection's a good start. but kids also need computers. and sometimes the hardest thing about homework is finding a place to do it. so why not hook community centers up with wifi? for

what is the goal here from the g7? >> i hope the goal is that we'll never have to say build back better world again after the g7 is over. it's not -- >> you don't think it's a thing? >> it doesn't have resonance. biden is trying to do trillions of dollars of infrastructure at home, and that is proving to be a much more difficult challenge in his own party to get his 50 votes in the senate, which he doesn't have right now. this is a far lower priority than that, but also the one place that you have very significant disagreement in the g7 is on china, and that is because for the united states, china is by far the most significant national security threat, and that is a bipartisan issue of agreement. the europeans see the chinese primarily through an economic and commercial, not a national security lens, and the willing -- and so the idea that the orientation towards china is what is going to solidify a g7 alliance of demock sis, that's not going to happen. we have to adjust on china or you're going to see more significan

the g7 agreed to that. those who are not members but visiting members who have participated in the g7 who has coal-fired facilities have agreed they will work in that direction, as well. transitioning the world to clean energy sources is urgent and essential. if we are going to meet the climate --and there is --one of the things some of my colleagues said to me when i was there was, well, the united states recognizes there is global warming in the leadership. i know that sounds silly but we had a president last who said it is not a problem, global warming. it is the existential problem facing humanity. it is being treated that way. we will provide up to 2 million -- $2 billion to support developing countries as they transition away from unabated coal-fired power. in addition, we also agreed to tackle corruption, which is a threat to societies everywhere. i pointed out in the conversation i had with one of the leaders --actually, with china. that was -- it was a request for me not to try to---when i was aske

g7 leaders have yet to read on the issue. the white house was first against and is now for a patent system. germany is against, but france's emmanuel macron is leading toward a limited easing of rules. julia: g7 leaders have reportedly agreed to continue supporting economies with fiscal stimulus and share the view that the recent rise in inflation is temporary. fears of inflation have also calmed down in financial markets. trading on wall street was rather muted this friday, but all major indices managed to eke out gains was the end of the s&p eking out another game. pharmacies across the country starting a two-day strike this friday to protest severe shortages of medicines. subscribers are queuing up for hours at petrol stations to try to fill up their cars, word the court -- worried the pumps will soon try up for prices will skyrocket. scuffles broke out at some locations where customers were blocking off lanes with rubbish bins. >> [speaking foreign language] >> french authorities have broken up a major trafficking operati

that's the g7 theory, at least.duchess of cambridge descended on the four and five—year—olds of connor downs academy in hayle today. unusually, the royal family part of this week's big political push. and downing street reckons they've sailed over the first big hurdle — rebooting the so—called special relationship between the united states and the uk, with a new name for a new chapter too. so, it's a relationship, we call it the deep and meaningful relationship, whatever you... the indestructible relationship. it's a relationship that has endured for a very long time and has been an important part of peace and prosperity, both in europe and around the world. and when it comes to the vaccine, you're making a huge promise about 100 million, but in the next few weeks, the uk's only sending 5 million. you could already have sent vaccines to developing countries, that hasn't happened. isn't there a danger that you're talking big, you're making big promises but, actually, then you deliver something else? with great respec

the g7 is also an — message to come out of this g7.an opportunity for real action on climate change. campaigners here are hoping the only hot air will be in their inflatable caricatures. forthis hot air will be in their inflatable caricatures. for this meeting is a milestone towards the big cop26 climate summit in the autumn, and new pledges to cut carbon emissions are expected. but will enough cash to be promised to help poorer countries adapt to climate change? it's a very special moment in history where we have to get investment of the right kind going to drive the recovery and the transformation we need of our economies for climate change. it's almost like at bretton woods after the second world war. if you put g7 i920 the second world war. if you put g7 1920 together, that's where we are. it's crucially important that we get strong decisions in the next few days. strong decisions in the next few da s. , ., ., days. then there is the task of re airin: days. then there is the task of repairing the _ days. then there is the task of r

the whole g7 itself is themed along climate change. there's a lot of agreement, if there with the president and the allies represented here on the coast of england. but the question is what substantially will come out of that. the idea of economic fairness dovetails with the climate change. and if we step back, this is just about reassurance. this is about this president trying to answer the question that so many u.s. allies have. was president trump's term that america-first foreign policy, was that the operation, or is joe biden's term the operation? biden can be followed by if not trump himself but someone who practices trumpism with the world? biden's message is supposed to be we're back. trump was the blip, not me. >> let's talk putin. that's something we're looking forward to next week. we have an exclusive interview, putin with nbc's kier simmons ahead of his meeting next week. it's his first television interview in three years. let's get a preview. >> president vladimir putin tells us he's going into next week's summit with rel

japan is also present at the g7.this g7 format work for those other countries, particularly in a region where it is not overly represented in this particular framework of international diplomacy? that's right. well, countries in the asia—pacific are watching to see what is going on in cornwall. they are looking for the scale of commitments made to things like vaccine distribution and climate change. of course, they are also looking to see how firm an alliance the g7 countries will pose to china and how firmly they will try to counter china's rise. some countries will be watching with some trepidation talk about this global corporate tax agreement that is in the works. countries or regions like hong kong, the chinese territory of hong kong, but also singapore, that like to offer corporations quite generous perks, might be starting to be concerned as we edge closer to a global tax agreement, that they won't be so lucrative in the future. brian, that is a challenge for ireland, isn't it? we heard paschal donohoe, the ir

just on the g7.e very unremarkable g7 meetings in the past, where it has been difficult to find a story or a real outcome that makes a difference to people. i think this one can be different, because the issues are brexit, global economic recovery after the pandemic, global vaccination programme, because we will not be through the challenge and the threat of covid until a lot more of the world is vaccinated than america and europe and climate change — three big challenges that affect everyone's lives and if this g7 can find some answers and can start to pave the way towards global cooperation which really addresses these challenges then it will have been one of the most significant g7 meetings in recent times. so that is a real challenge and a real target for the prime minister, but for all the other participants at this meeting. it can be a really... a meeting which doesn'tjust relaunch cooperation amongst the community of democracies, but which really relaunches the g7 as an institution, an event w

the g7 offers a western rival to beijing. will developing nations benefit and what is really behind this push against china? this is inside story. hello and welcome to the program. build back better. that is the main promise from the first g7 summit since the pandemic began. leaders of the world's seven main industrialized nations pledged to tackle climate change and provide vaccines to the world. they also offer developing nations a rival to china's global investment and development strategy, the belt and rode. initiative beijing was singled out for a budget human rights violations. the u.s. president says the g7 is determined to uphold democratic values around the world. >> i feel strongly. i propose that we have a democratic alternative to the belt and wrote initiative. build back better. they have agreed to that, that is underway. thirdly, we are consistent -- insisting on high standards. climate friendly and transparent alternative to the belt and wrote initiative. in the meantime, we're going to move forward. host: the

at the g7 summit. a u.k. blocked assange's extradition in january, citing serious mental health concerns. assange was indicted for violations of the espionage act related to the publication of classified documents exposing u.s. war crimes. he faces up to 175 years in prison if brought to the u.s. on thursday, the british parliament held a debate on safety of journalists, where mp richard burgon addressed assange's case. >> president biden, now in the country for the g7, to drop the charges of the extradition is called a. amy: this comes as julian assange's father and brother are on a nationwide tour of the united states to advocate for the founder of wikileaks' release. there joining us here in new york. john shipton is julian's father and gabriel is a film maker and julian's brother. gabriel, first of all, did it surprise you to hear julian's case brought up in the british parliament? and talked about where the case stands. the extradition was denied by a judge in january, yet he still is in the maximum secu

it's fundamental for the economies of the g7 then not only the g7 economies themselves vaccinate, but that the rest of the world vaccinate so that this virus gets under control. i think they should really make some progress either on spending the necessary billions, the imf suggests it's about 50 billion to get the world vaccinated by the end of next year. that's not so much money. what's missing is just 16 billion. i think this should be one of the key outcomes of the g7. guy: to think europe can take some leadership here? i was talking to someone early on and he said that europe has exported some 350 million vaccines already. it's a huge number, but the topic that we are discussing here is one dominated by the united states and the pledges that president biden is making. how does europe get out in front and provide leadership? >> frankly, i think europe is providing massive leadership. not everyone has understood it, but europe is exporting some 300 million doses already. it has already exported so many doses while most of the other countries assembled have not exported much. so rea

the g7 is the seven largest countries. think that when the rubber hits the road and country start talking about how to implement it, more importantly, which countries implemented first, we are actually not going to see that come to fruition. >> kim forrest, cio of broken capital partners. it is always good to have you with us on bloomberg. let's get you the news with vonnie quinn. >> president joe biden is not looking for conflict with china. the final communique after the g7 met cited beijing on human rights issues on hong kong. however, it omitted specific reference to china and forced labor practices. the g7 called for stable and predictable relations with russia, urging the kremlin to stop destabilizing behavior including interfering in other countries democratic systems. it also added an intention to track down on ransomware. joe biden says relations with russia are at a low point. he and vladimir putin are set to meet wednesday. the g7 nations failed to set a target date for moving away from pedro-based cars. they to

at the bottom line is this will be the first normal g7 we've had in four years. —— thatis g7 we've had trump period. the walked away from many of its allies and gathering such as this. so i think the opportunity now lies under president by the opportunity now lies under president biden and his leadership and the host country to turn this into something significant in their response across it world given the enormous amount was to exist in the developing world in particular, economic recovery and financial stability, climate change and of course the continuing geostrategic challenges trying to balance it for the climate change in terms of the message do as i say. fir of the message do as i say. or as i do, doesn't help that we have these events were enormous resources are spent on bringing everybody to one geographical location, lot of air travel, we had the issue in cornwall of trees having to be uprooted in order to create space for delegates at the resort i wonder if it seems a bit of a mixed message?— wonder if it seems a bit of a mixed message? the bottom line is havin: mixed messag
