if i capri. the g7 is an informal i gathering of ministers. if you capri. were going to see action, for example sanctions on iran, you are more likely to see that, as we have heard overnight, at the eu level and they released some conclusions overnight saying they would be pursuing some sanctions on iran's missile and drone programme. the us also have been suggesting they could look at iranian oil exports. but really what you will see here is an effort by g7 foreign ministers to coordinate and agree what action they are going to take and discuss the kind of impact that will have. i think as well picking up from what yolanda was saying, there has also been this push by the us, by britain and germany to try and get israel to show restraint, which is the language being used in terms of its response to eran's attack last saturday. two of the foreign ministers here on capri, lord cameron from the uk and annalena baerbock from germany, are in israel just yesterday to deliver that message, after which the prime minister of israel talked about how israel will make

we will hear from antony blinken the us secretary of state who is at the meeting in capri.ng, we had a statement from the italian foreign minister saying that "this morning we changed the agenda because we decided we needed to address the israel— iran issue and focus on the middle east." he said he wanted a clear message to come from the g7 that the political goal of the g7 is de—escalation. we have worked and will continue to work and be active protagonists in achieved de—escalation throughout the middle east. this after there has been a reported strike by israel within iran in response to the mass missile attack on israel last saturday. you are watching bbc news. let's go back to the prime minister who has called for an end to the uk's sick note culture. this in a speech on welfare reform. in the past hour, mr sunak said he is considering moving responsibility for assessing fitness to work away from gps to "specialist work and health professionals" in england. a record high of 2.8 million people are out of work as of february, according to the office for national statisti

jessica parker reports from capri.ukraine's calls for more air defence systems. the nato secretary—general, jens stoltenberg, is here in capri. he said earlier there is an urgent critical need, that russia is pushing on the whole front line whilst carrying out waves of air strikes. but, look, this is a g7 foreign ministers meeting — ukraine's foreign minister is here but it's not a formal weapons pledging session. that being said, they can discuss, they can coordinate. but speaking to officials today, the mood on this issue overall is somewhat downbeat. causing a bit more optimism, though, is the prospect of a vote in congress on the long—stalled us aid package to ukraine of $60 billion. that's certainly being talked up here. they are looking, though, at other ways to raise money for ukraine and one idea that's been kicking about for quite some time now, seen as potentially legally quite tricky, is using frozen russian assets — specifically, according to people i've been speaking to, whether they could use the interest

, came to capri direct from israel, where they had been having meetings with israeli leaders, very muchael to show restraint. lord cameron when he spoke from israel earlier in the wiki did say he hoped israel would do as little as possible in terms of escalation, but also there did seem to be an acknowledgement that there was an expectation that israel would take some form of action. people clearly at that point he didn't know when, didn't know what, didn't know the extent of it, and this morning the extent of it, and this morning the picture is still emerging. but it will be we presume front and centre of the discussion of these g7 foreign ministers as they convene foreign ministers as they convene for theirfinal foreign ministers as they convene for their final day foreign ministers as they convene for theirfinal day here foreign ministers as they convene for their final day here in foreign ministers as they convene for theirfinal day here in capri. do you think we will hear any more in terms of other diplomatic options, or do you think those were explored yesterday and we will not se

consumers aren't thinking about capri owning jimmy choo and versace. you would be surprised they own all those brands. you mentioned the wholesalers, and that's kind of a big part of this. you have michael kors, mid-tier luxury, you are tapestry's coach and kate spade, mid-tier luxury, all three of these brands are heavily present in mid-tier department stores like macy's, but then they also have a huge presence in tjmaxx and, you know, tjx companies. and, you know, in that case, that's what the ftc is saying, it's going to take away from the competition. obviously, capri and tapestry, before they decided to join up, they were watching very closely each other's prices, what kind of products they were pointing out, and that's that competition that the ftc wants to see. so, their concern is, especially in the mid to lower tier, where some of these brands end up when they get oversold and overly discounted, there's going to be less competition, and that could be a concern for tjx, as well, because you want to be able to offer these items at the right type

blinken, but already today, on the same island of capri, spoke about the possible fate of frozen russiants. let's hear exactly what he said. the issue of using russia's sovereign assets to rebuild ukraine was also on the agenda. the kremlin has already called it'. but real theft means killed ukrainians, the destruction of a large part of ukraine's infrastructure and the seizure of its territories. that is why the possibility of using these russian sovereign assets for the restoration of ukraine. critically important, and sooner or later it will happen, well, it is better that it happens early, but not late, as soon as possible, so that they find the mechanism by which they can be transferred to us, so that we can then use them, this russian blood money, but will go to the reconstruction of ukraine. the member countries of the european union are united support the strengthening of sanctions against russia, as this will reduce the ability. of the kremlin leadership to continue its aggressive war, which it started back in february 2022. this statement was made by french president emmanuel m

our correspondent, jessica parker reports from capri.vents in the middle east have certainly been a dominant factor here. we went to one of the final press conferences, it was with the us secretary of state, antony blinken, and it was really interesting. he really did not want to be drawn on events overnight in iran. he was asked repeatedly by journalists including myself about what had happened, what he might know, but he didn't want to say anything apart from the fact that he said the us had not been involved. i asked him why won't you give any details, and he even described himself as incredibly boring on the matter. and it's possible that this is a deliberate strategy to be boring by the us, and others, away i've barely acknowledging what has happened, not giving any detail, avoiding rhetoric, provoking any response. as part of an effort to call the situation down. the word we kept hearing here from various ministers again and again and again in terms of the middle east, was deescalation. us media are reporting that more than 1,000 a
