g. seven summit is due to start soon now on general which is trump trying to do with the statement saying that russia should be back in the g. seven and what used to be the g eight. well it's quite telling brings up this topic right now while leaving for canada we have no indication that this topic was actually on the hasty seven again and spy calling on russia to be readmitted to this g seven summits he is clearly breaking with the leaders even before they all have got to get over here and can because nothing has changed on the ground russia was expelled from the g eight meetings because of its aggression against ukraine because of its and they say sion of crimea and that as i said has not changed on the ground and i have coverage from since he's integration and i have to say that it's his typical way of dealing with disputes and crisis to us seems to be quite isolated here in canada so he is trying to distract the attention from the disputed topics like such as trade or the iran nuclear agreement he is also trying to show that he's not backing of backing down on any issue that he is act

g. seven summit in come back today protesters have been gathering in quebec city about a two hours drive away from the resort where the g seven leaders will meet their anger is directed at political leaders globalization and a lack of action on climate change. as world leaders gather in a luxury resort town this new woman wants them to remember the indigenous people who lived in canada first. the sixty two year old says they should be focusing on how to stop ravaging the mountains and cutting down trees on the reserve where she lives. i want the leaders to stop selling our lands because we still need to go into our forests and practice our incest all rights to go fishing to go hunting to go pick wild fruits. she's joining protesters in the first demonstration against the summit taking place in quebec. that. has insulted the says it's a march bringing together a wide range of interests but all believe the g seven leaders are wasting time and money without making any real progress and putting on a show that distracts from the biggest problems facing society today. and burial is smoke that

g. seven summit in canada leaders of some of the world's most powerful industrial countries clashed with u.s. president dollar trump especially over trade and tariffs the summit's canadian hosts had hoped to focus on economic growth climate change and gender equality before the meeting even began trump tossed another contentious topic into the mix he wants russia to be readmitted to the g seven it was all smiles during this family photo but besides the italian prime minister the other leaders are not on board with bringing moscow back into the g. seven fold. the scene looks idyllic but as leaders pulled together for the so-called family photo it was clear that one of the men in the middle u.s. president donald trump was more focused on a family feud. leaving washington for the summit trump set the tone for the days to come he let the u.s. allies know what he thought of their relationship for their strong like well we fought with you when the war which they don't mention the fact that they have trade barriers against our farmers they don't mention the fact that they're charging almost thr

g. seven summit but only a declaration made by three due to the host of the summit earlier we spoke to she's a g seven x. but this is a listen to what he had to say. instead that we see a cohesive group of seven major western countries rather see even according to some european officials a kind of g six brazil one the other six trying to convince the trump administration about certain things such as climate such as not i'm barking on a trade war on the year and a clear deal then listen to that analysis is this the end of the g seven as we know it at least for now. this summit can certainly be the last g seven summits in this format and it's not only the europeans who are saying this is also the americans the main economic advisor of donald trump has said that the administration will now disregard all international bodies all the multilateral approaches so this could be finally over and this it's no accident that china and russia meeting in parallel to this g. seven summit they're clearly signaling to everybody there's an alternative to this western dominated world we're living in interesting

g. seven summit has wrapped up in canada with all seven nations signing a final communique following a heated debate they pledged to combat protectionism and reduce trade barriers but divisions were on display during the two day meeting us president donald trump first railed against unfair trade practices and then proposed removing all tariffs and barriers to trade shortly before leaving the meeting early. the battle lines were drawn early in quebec six leaders sat down together for breakfast while the seventh turned up late. a sure sign of the high esteem in which he holds the summit. the advancement of women more protection for oceans and climate many of the topics that canadian prime minister justin trudeau wanted to address seemed to hold little interest for donald trump instead he used the meeting to complain once more about the apparent unfair trade practices the u.s. faces and to threaten the other leaders. because you see we have a tremendous trade imbalance so when we try and bring our piece up a little bit so that it's not so bad and then they go. right the difference is they do so

g. seven summit in a way it also displays his view of the world he doesn't believe in these traditional alliances let's remember the g seven always was meeting of the leaders of the world's biggest industrialized and democratic nations russia was part of the group as a g. eight for some time because the west hoped that russia would become over time more democratic country. in the western perspective and russia on the putin has clearly decided doesn't want to be a normal country the way the west once it wants to be as always been an empire to some extent at once his own sphere of influence and of course in russia itself the state has an iron grip on the putin it's also italian state almost dictatorship and so donald trump doesn't care about that he views traditional allies and foes alike he just is interested in what he can out of what he can get out of a bilateral relationship and his main idea is america first and actually in many ways trump first right cost and fun naaman our correspondent in washington as well as thomas sparrow our political correspondent is here in the studio thanks

g. seven summit kicks off today in quebec canada every g. seven summit is watched anxiously by stakeholders but this one comes at a time when the very concept of free trade is under threat the leaders of seven globally influential countries are taking two days out of the schedule to talk shop all the nations together are responsible for more than sixty percent of the globe's net worth no wonder the current trade tensions are high on the agenda two of the participants engaged in a fresh and rather serious public spat with the french president. says that six other countries could go it alone on free trade without the u.s. his counterpart donald trump on the other side rebuses the comments saying it's the likes of the e.u. who are responsible for unfair trade many hope this summit will yield results that ease tensions between mainly the u.s. and its biggest trading partners. our correspondent alexandra is covering this summit for us and joins us now from canada alexandra the argument there is heating up between the president and. does it feel li

g. seven summit in quebec a special summit because of donald trump's combative mood he set the tone even before his departure from washington on friday list right now we are not going to live with the deals the way they are european union reaches very unfairly canada very unfairly mexico very unfairly with that being said i think we'll probably very easily make if you. striking deals like that might be easier said than done though the summit has traditionally been about seeking common ground but u.s. tariffs on steel and aluminum have set trump and the u.s. on one side of the trade debate and leaders of the other six nations on the other a situation that has let the media to dump the event the g six plus one the official group photo of the leaders at the event looked for mona said nothing but behind the scenes the acrimonious debate on protectionist policy appears to have made for a tough day of talks. are her spondon phenomena is in quebec and as the summit was getting underway on friday we asked her what to what extent trade issues will dominate the meeting. this topic is of course jus
