, john well, the last few days, foreign ministers from the g7 had been meeting in capri, italy discussing action against iran over its weekend missile attack on israel so life now to rome, cnn to bobbyat'll be now that we've had this callous right by israel and apparently no response at least for now by the iranians. how does that change the conversation? there might the g7 leaders well, you can bet that's the top of the agenda this morning, they've just sat down for their final roundtable meeting and we're expecting about three hours time the final press com conference led by italian foreign minister antonio tajani. >> and then we're supposed to be hearing from anthony blinken, the us secretary of state. so i think we'll have a better understanding. about what they're talking about. they discussed yesterday ways to urge israel. some restraint and it's it's right now, i'm sure the topic of conversation, whether they see this attack as that restraint if it could have been something different, this was sort of a downplay of that, but there are so many other items on the agenda that they've got to get through these next and last three hours, which includes the humanitarian crisis in ga
