italy's prime minister giorgia meloni.landale gave us this update from the g7. as ever, the summits are a mixture of an awful lot of issues they pack into two or three days. they talked about migration, they talked about artificial intelligence, they talked about the threat from china, notjust in terms of support for russia and ukraine but also its threat to global markets. but the central focus of many of the discussions that took place here both formally as part of the g7 and also bilaterally in the margins and in the corridors here, was of course the war in ukraine. the italian prime minister summing everything up today said that there had been a comprehensive and united approach to defend ukraine. she also said that the g7 sends a strong signal that people would support ukraine for as long as it is necessary. in terms of the actions at this summit they have agreed to raise $50 billion in a loan for ukraine that's going to be paid off, if you like, by using interest made on frozen russian assets. we got a bit more infor

that is very important to giorgia meloni who wants to stem immigration to europe. the president will meet with pope francis, a personal highlight for the president, who is catholic. pope francis is the first pope to participate in g-7 talks. we will warn of dangers of artificial intelligence. and building ukraine defenses, g-7 announced new 50 billion loan unwritten by the u.s. and supported by assets. the president snapped when asked about a ceasefire and hamas. >> what is your message to allies including the g-7 about what more the u.s. can do to drive toward a peace agreement, thank you. >> president biden: i wish you guys would play by the rules, i'm here to talk about a critical situation, ukraine, ask me another subject. >> madeleine: he addressed his son's hunter conviction. >> president biden: i'm proud of my son hunter. he's overcome an addiction, he is one ever the brightest most decent men i know. i said i would abide by the jury decision and i will do that and not pardon him. >> madeleine: the president says he will not commute his son's sentence. >> ca

so the to—do list is long for giorgia meloni, elected prime minister 18 months ago and still leading here, latina, mirrors italy, with the same issues and the first woman in charge. translation: the meloni | government is working well. we have problems of the falling birth rate, for example, which affects all of europe. we used to passively accept migrants, but now we have a big say in managing flows. it is important that our party wins this election so we can put forward our ideas at a european level. behind italy's blustery beauty lies age—old problems, but what has changed here in the last 18 months is who is trying to solve them, with giorgia meloni dominating italian politics and hoping to further entrench her position after these european elections. but well beyond these shores, europe's other right—wing leaders are looking at her as a sort of figurehead, an example of what they, too, will hope to achieve. and so, a key moment for italy and for europe, a vote on how to navigate these rough times. well, across the eu, immigration, the economy and the environment are all big them

many of the leaders, apart from giorgia meloni, face electoral challenges.mmit has demonstrated some unity on ukraine, but as ever, the question will be, will what�*s been decided here in italy actually last and have an impact in the years to come? james landale. here in the uk, we�*re at the halfway point in the general election campaign — with three weeks until the next government is formed. rishi sunak has been at the g7 and is now at the ukraine peace summit. but the other politicial parties have been out campaigning today. labour leader sir keir starmer visited a hospital in nottinghamshire, together with the shadow health secretary, wes streeting. they�*ve been promoting their plans for the nhs. the labour leader, sir keir starmer, has ruled out raising capital gains tax on people�*s main homes, should his party win the election. it comes after the conservatives repeatedly raised questions over labour�*s tax policies. we�*ve been clear about the 40,000 extra appointments each and every week, how we�*ll pay for them. that will make a massive difference

so giorgia meloni and justin having a few warm words.ets to raise billions of dollars for ukraine. the proposal is being put forward by the united states, it is expected actually to be approved but the detail is it could potentially raise $50 billion, that is £39 billion, to you and i, a yearfor ukraine, as well as applying fresh economic pressure on russia, because of course, it will then no longer be able to get its hand on those frozen assets. we have a lot of movement here. and there is president macron of france, makes his way towards giorgia meloni, the french president of course earlier in the week making that shock snap election decision, there will be a parliamentary election between the 30thjune and 7th july. election between the 30thjune and 7thjuly. it is not a presidential election, he will still be president until the end of his term which i believe is 2027. but the far right were victorious over his centrist party in the european parliamentary election, and that is one of the reasons why he called an election, and as i sai

but not all are happy — hungary's prime minister viktor orban and italian prime minister giorgia melonie both been openly critical. live to brussels where i'm joined by karel lannoox, chief executive of the centre for european policy studies. a warm welcome to the programme. this is very interesting isn't it? this process. given the outcome of the elections in europe a few weeks ago?— the elections in europe a few weeks ago? the elections in europe a few weeks auo? , , , weeks ago? yes, indeed, this is still not sure, _ weeks ago? yes, indeed, this is still not sure, what _ weeks ago? yes, indeed, this is still not sure, what you - still not sure, what you imagine because also only two weeks ago it was expected it would be decided but it was not decided and expected to be decided and expected to be decided this week but still not sure. on top of that two of the three will have to be confirmed by the european parliament which may happen in three weeks time. that is the crucial thing beyond that, well ursula von der leyen find a majority in the parliament to back her. because what we all

this is giorgia meloni, the only prime minister in europe to do this, to put her name on the ballot insome kind of enthusiasm to voters to go out and cast their ballot because of the name recognition that she has. she has said that people should write her name next to... on the ballot paper itself. will it translate into enthusiasm for the turnout, we are not sure. at this poly station behind me they are having a low turnout today. just about 25% of eligible voters have come out so far. that is a similar picture nationwide, whether turn out so far by that lunchtime is about 25%. that is down on the last european election in 2019. it is extremely hot today. italians are going out and having lasagne for lunch, going for a swim by the sea, not many are going out to vote. they might come later when the sun goes down. polling stations stay open until 11 o'clock tonight, so they are hoping they will get more people turning up this afternoon. the importance that maloney will have in the post election picture is not really echoed by the number of —— the enthusiasm that italians are giving to t

that is backed by giorgia meloni. marie le pen wants to make alliance with giorgia meloni.f they join forces, it would be the second biggest group in the european parliament. what does that mean for ukraine and the green deal as he was mentioning? that was at stake. for the far right in france, they pushed everything on the domestic campaign. they said if you don't like macron, vote for us. they want this as a springboard. >> fascinatifascinating. thank you very much, charlotte. >>> ahead on the show, exosens has the debut on the ipo. we'll have more on that next. smarter at every stage of your business. take full control of your brand with your own custom store. scale faster with tools that let you manage every sale from every channel. and sell more with the best converting checkout on the planet. a lot more. take your business to the next stage when you switch to shopify. what is cirkul? cirkul is what you hope for when life tosses lemons your way. cirkul is your frosted treat with a sweet kick of confidence. cirkul is the effortless energy that gets you in the zone. cirk

many of the leaders apart from giorgia meloni face electoral challenges.this table again. so the summit has demonstrated some unity on ukraine, but as ever the question will be, well what has been decided here in italy actually last and have an impact in years to come? that was our diplomatic correspondent james landale there. one of the world leaders there was a uk prime minister rishi sunak. he is now at the swiss are where we bought you those live images of kemal harris. he has been speaking. i am leased harris. he has been speaking. i am pleased to — harris. he has been speaking. i am pleased to be _ harris. he has been speaking. i am pleased to be at _ harris. he has been speaking. i am pleased to be at the _ harris. he has been speaking. i —n pleased to be at the ukraine peace summit. it demonstrates the demonstration within the international community to see an end to the war in ukraine, and enter the suffering and peace returned to the suffering and peace returned to the european continent. it has impacted so many people in so many different ways i

italian prime minister giorgia meloni wrapped up the meeting with a press conference, where she laidn to artificial intelligence, chinese trade policy, and the us�*s proposed israel—gaza ceasefire deal. but the leaders's main focus was the war in ukraine, with leaders pledging $50 billion of loans to ukraine secured on the interest of assets seized from russia. the final communique reads, in part: 0ur diplomatic correspondent james landale sent this report. as ever, these limits are extreme and awful lot of issues that they pack into the two or three days. they talked about migration, they talked about artificial intelligence, they talked about the threat from china, notjust in terms of support for russia and ukraine but also its effect to the global markets. but the central focus of many of the discussions that took place here both formally as part of the g7 and also bilaterally in the g7 and also bilaterally in the margins and in the corridors here was of course the war in ukraine. the italian prime minister summing everything up today, said that there had been a comprehensive and

this is giorgia meloni, the only prime minister in europe to do this, to put her name on the ballot,n that she has. and she has said, you know, write giorgia, her name, next to... on the ballot paper itself. now, is this going to actually translate into enthusiasm for the turnout? we're not sure about that, because i can tell you at this polling station behind me, they're having a pretty low turnout today. just about 25% of eligible voters have come out so far. and that is a similar picture nationwide, where the turnout so far by about lunchtime today is about 25%. that is down on the last european election back in 2019. i can tell you it's extremely hot today. the italians are going out and having their lasagne for lunch. they're going for a swim by the sea, and not many people are going to vote. they might might come later on when the sun and the polling stations say open until 11:00 tonight. so they're hoping they will get a few more people turning out this afternoon. but i think, you know, the importance that meloni will have in the post—election picture is not really echoed by t

giorgia meloni joining others in the west in dismissing this attempt by president putin to try to getace in switzerland to discuss ukraine's own ideas for peace. so that was the broad perspective that we got today from this g7. the italians are very happy with the way it went. i think the problem though is this: this is a weaker g7 than other years. many of the leaders apart from the italian president phase electrical challenges. it is very unlikely that the same seven people will be sitting around this table again. so the summit has demonstrated unity on ukraine, but is never the question be, will what has been decided here in italy actually last and have an impact in years to come? meanwhile, world leaders from some 100 countries are in switzerland this weekend, by invitation of president volodymyr zelensky, to discuss how to bring an end to the war in ukraine. russia and china are notably absent from this weekend's summit, which is designed to pave the way for a "future peace process" in which russia takes part. but some countries have reservations. saudi arabia's foreign minister

a pen from france, which of course gained huge amounts of seats in this vote, the ecr, where giorgia meloni avidity is the key figure. and of course, ni, non-attached remembers now includes the afd, the alternative for germany party in germany that was deemed so far to the right that marine le pen actually kicked it out of the id group a few weeks ago. so that's another part of this story is that the far-right itself is not unified. so given that i think it's unclear at this point how much power they will wield within the parliament yeah, interesting looking at that graphic, i have to ask you across about france because the french president's party did not do well. and of course we had that surprise announcement by a menu macron cooling for snap elections in a matter of weeks that, that of course is a political risk this is a huge gamble and i think, well, the rise of the he, it national rally party and one other far-right party in france didn't surprise everyone. >> certainly macron's reaction to it did his argument is that he needs to now seek clarity from the parliament so that he can mo

there were six other countries also there but many them were calling this the six lame ducks plus giorgia meloniat if a few elections don't go his way, he might to start to lose support from the west? j might to start to lose support from the west?— from the west? i think it is hiuhl from the west? i think it is highly unlikely _ from the west? i think it is highly unlikely that - from the west? i think it is highly unlikely that as - from the west? i think it is highly unlikely that as a . highly unlikely that as a result of the elections we are going to see in europe, but there will be a minion of european support for ukraine. —— diminution. in the uk, both the labour party and the tories are all in for a bold policy of support for ukraine to defeat a dangerous russia in ukraine. i think in france, akron, not saleha, marine le pen —— marine le pen had a good showing in the parliamentary elections but we have seen this movie once before and we know marine le pen was embarrassed by her ties to vladimir putin and russian money coming to her party. so i don't think she is in the best of shape when

giorgia meloni, who is a right—wing leader in italy — who in some ways is comparable in some parts oficy to your national rally in france — she has had to accept reality on immigration. she came pledging to massively cut immigration, to end illegal immigration. she hasn't ended illegal immigration. and not only that, she's now accepted that italy needs for its economy around 800,000 immigrants per year. isn't the truth that france too needs immigrants? your party just won't accept it. well, first, i have to clarify that our political line is that if a european member state decides that it needs legal migration for economic reasons, every member state is free to decide on its own. and this is our political line. what we don't want, that the european commission decides on behalf of member states. and this is exactly what's going to happen... but with respect, france hasjust signed a migration pact alongside all the other members of the eu. that's signed and sealed. it's too late for you to stop that. yeah. but what is extremely interesting is that two days after this pact on asylum and

giorgia meloni, who is a right—wing leader in italy — who in some ways is comparable in some parts of has had to accept reality on immigration. she came pledging to massively cut immigration, to end illegal immigration. she hasn't ended illegal immigration. and not only that, she's now accepted that italy needs for its economy around 800,000 immigrants per year. isn't the truth that france too needs immigrants? your party just won't accept it. well, first, i have to clarify that our political line is that if a european member state decides that it needs legal migration for economic reasons, every member state is free to decide

the host of the g7 summit — giorgia meloni — was the only western european leader strengthened by thewin. before we talk about some of the details of what we learn from those leaders, want to share this headline, six lane dogs and georgia. more like the last supper than the display of western power. that is owed feels, isn't it? so many domestic issues for these leaders to face. it is hard for him to concentrate on anything international. brute is hard for him to concentrate on anything international. we follow the uk elections, _ anything international. we follow the uk elections, we _ anything international. we follow the uk elections, we follow - anything international. we follow| the uk elections, we follow brexit the uk elections, we follow brexit the ambassador remembers that, the brexit injune of 2016 was a precursor to the dawn from victory november and if you are right on the polling the labor spending when the selection, i think it bodes well for joe biden of the european continent is a very different picture and it may be prime minister giorgia meloni and president biden in

giorgia meloni, the other woman on the rights who has performed pretty well, we think, in these elections0 minutes times. , , ., , ., times. we will see you shortly for that, christian. _ here in the uk election campaign, the main parties have been asked how they'd fund some of their key pledges. the conservatives want to spend millions on mental health support, while labour says it'll reform prisons, without having to raise household taxes. here's iain watson. applause and cheering. the main parties are preparing to launch their manifestos this week. the whole point country has been longing for and waiting for this election to come. labour was promising to provide more prison places and to clampdown on antisocial behaviour. but the big parties know you can't pay for policies from small change. the labour leader was keener to talk about growing the economy and cutting spending or raising tax. it is all about plans for a fully funded and fully costed and none of them require tax rises over and above the ones that we have already announced. what we do need to do just to take up the challeng

and i have to take my hat off to giorgia meloni of italy. really pushed through a lot of what came through a lot of what came through for ukraine at this particular summit. so they -ushed particular summit. so they pushed it _ particular summit. so they pushed it through. - particular summit. so they | pushed it through. vladimir putin is going to be watching very closely. how is he likely to respond to this, comedy thing? to respond to this, comedy thin ? ~ ~ , thing? well, i think the past few hours — thing? well, i think the past few hours have _ thing? well, i think the past few hours have been - thing? well, i think the past few hours have been an - few hours have been an indication of that, sending more missiles and drones towards ukraine and targeting critical infrastructure, you see, because since the start of the war there has been this drip, drip, drip approach of aid to ukraine. where are those air defence systems that have been promised and where are those f—i6s? so he is exploiting that gap and i also think he is exploiting the

in italy, the right-wing giorgia meloni promised to stop migration with a naval blockade, but in 2023ees than a year earlier. after becoming prime minister, she was forced to agree to accept half a million illegal immigrants in order to fill empty jobs in a rapidly aging country. there is not enough working population in europe, but right-wing parties want to limit migration, although this is the easy way, to fill empty places. what does the rise of the right mean for the labor market and for the economy? of course, it is impossible and unnecessary to stop migration; no one will do this. some work as nannies, some lay communications, some washes windows. the agreement, which allows eu countries to pay off the acceptance of migrants, was adopted amid numerous protests, even directly in the european parliament itself. politicians admit that the implementation of the plan looks vague, possibly further complicating the situation with refugees. human rights organizations view the pact as an obvious step to the right, although the opposite is declared. we oppose this pact because not only d

i get you, you're right, italy i see what they doing in italy and giorgia meloni but what is being doned. what needs to happen, we need to go after the chinese corporation the best way to do that in the smartest way it's to think big and execute on the big ones, right now things are too weak in the conversation around sanction chinese banks about the smaller banks and some people point out the little banks are the ones that china is going to used to get around western sanctions into russia. as they move their transactions into smaller banks that can be sanctioned that allows them the ability to let a bank fall and not be affected by some of the biggest banks in china, the big four chinese state owned commercial banks, to our incredibly active in russia, agricultural bank of china which is the number four bank and china and china construction bank the number two bank in china i think those are the two targets and i would be most interested as very good researchers have pointed out there digging in a rush at this picture from the beginning, i think we go after the big four state owned ban

giorgia meloni, the italian prime minister in the last few minutes made it very clear, she said we haveesident putin yesterday. she said this was a propaganda move, effectively saying ukraine was being asked to leave ukraine before it sits at the table. that is the focus. lots of other stuff, strong words on chinese, more cooperation on migration. ukraine was clearly the centre point of this summit here. , . . the centre point of this summit here. . ., , ., ., ., ~ i., the centre point of this summit here. i ., , ., ., ., ~ i., ., here. james landale, thank you, our correspondent _ here. james landale, thank you, our correspondent there _ here. james landale, thank you, our correspondent there with _ here. james landale, thank you, our correspondent there with the - here. james landale, thank you, our correspondent there with the latest. correspondent there with the latest on the g7 summit continuing. there is plenty more, so stay with us on bbc news. and on the website. so do stay with us here. hello, good afternoon. the unsettled rather cool theme is set to continue this weekend. sunn

the tlan prime minister giorgia meloni says she does not believe the votes of the u.s. citizens have been considered in the negotiations for the top jobs. she also said the commission risks being supported by a fragile majority that will face challenges. this is quite an important comment from meloni. she was quite frustrated. essentially mellow anyhas felt she's been left out of these conversations, and indeed that's the case. we have the socialists, liberals, and conservatives coming together to approve these names, but when you think about the outcome of the elections, they did obtain stronger support and there was overall a move to the right. and if you think about the names that were put forward and the way the negotiations were held so far, that does not necessarily show the outcome ofl the european elections. the other side of the argument is that these three parties, the socialists, liberals, and conservatives, they do have a majority in the european council. let's see what happens tomorrow. we'll be there for the european summit, and i cannot wait to hear from

no government has cracked down, but some feel prime minister giorgia meloni is even less likely to dothe neo—fascist youth, interviewed aged 19 by french tv. the party she formed, brothers of italy, has its roots in post—war fascism, keeping the same tricolour flame logo. but she has moderated and moved it away from the far—right to the mainstream. she's topping polls before the upcoming european elections, an example for europe's nationalist politicians hoping she'll lead a new right—wing wave — and hoping to emulate her success in their countries. and on the past, she had this message. the italian right has handed fascism over history for decades now, unambiguously condemning the suppression of democracy and the ignominious anti—jewish laws. and yet, overt political extremism has continued to fester and flourish here... ..seemingly without punishment. a nazi birthday cake for a senior forza nuova figure drew little public reaction. but meloni's supporters say the issue is with the way in which anti—fascists have protested over the years — both in clashes with the other side and with

allocating him 50 billion, which the g7 allegedly agreed upon, by the way, very wonderful story, giorgia meloni suddenly announced that the european union countries are not participating in this. it was at the g7 that the usa, canada, britain and japan agreed, perhaps japan, yes, to somehow form these 50 billion from assets, income from frozen russian assets, and this is also very important, it would seem like one word difference, but what a difference the difference is in the wording; ukraine always says that it was allocated to us. financial assistance for 50 billion, in the west they persistently say the word loan, loan constantly they mention, but at the same time, how, excuse me, are the usa, britain, japan going to guarantee a loan using frozen income from frozen assets that are entirely, practically and completely at the disposal of the european union countries, which , according to meloni, are not participating in this, this is what they said, we will finalize the details... that is, accordingly, who will support this adventure and how, this is also not so important, the main thing is t

in italy, the right-wing giorgia meloni promised to stop migration with a naval blockade, but in 2023 more refugees entered than a year earlier. after becoming prime minister, she was forced to agree to accept half a million illegal immigrants in order to fill empty jobs in a rapidly aging country. there is not enough working population in europe, but right-wing parties want to limit migration, although this is the easy way, to fill empty places. what does the rise of the right mean for the labor market and for the economy? of course, it is impossible and unnecessary to stop migration; no one will do this. who works as nannies, who lays communications, who washes? i of course i understand everything, why are you doing so right away? milonja admitted that the results of her work did not live up to expectations, and migration turned out to be the most difficult challenge she had ever faced. the fact that in may the migration pact was finally approved, around which the european union has been arguing since the migration crisis in the fifteenth year, rome believes. the first step in the r

already stated that she is ready to form a progressive coalition, however , italian prime minister giorgia meloniter and added that parties that were not part of the alliance of the current head of the european commission showed significant growth. the most striking example is the victory of supporters of the right-wing french faction, the national rally of marine lepine, they took a little more than 30% of the votes, twice as far ahead of the followers of the political course of president emmanouet. exactly the same thing, early voting in the national parliament is being asked by the federal government and german politicians, where the opposition bloc cdu, csu won with a third of the votes, in second place is the far-right alternative for germany with almost 16%, but the social democrats of chancellor scholz showed the worst result in history, barely gaining 14, the whole the ruling coalition received the support of less than a third of voters. but it’s interesting that the elections divided germany almost along the border of the former federal republic of germany and the gdr. west. now a single

at the peace summit, italian prime minister giorgia meloni said that it is something very important to protect ukraine , which means uniting all the efforts of the international community. if russia does not agree to the conditions we impose on it, surrender to us we must create minimum conditions for these discussions, we must force them to submit. as far as i understand the minimum conditions are what my prime minister described as a guarantee that ukraine, russia respects territorial integrity, russian troops leave ukraine. these are the terms that canada and the other g7 partners are supporting , the terms that ukraine has put forward in order to start negotiations, and it's very important to see that we see the unity of not only the g7 countries, but we see that this unity extends beyond these borders, in my opinion, unity very important, because i believe that the more countries will be united. conditions that are necessary to start negotiations, the stronger that position will be, if that answers your question, but i think what my colleague said in terms of the war of confession
