7 of the g 7 themselves. because as the summit goes on, the c leaders are going to be invited, as well as the g 7. members, you're going to have the south africa and south korea, australia, and india joining this summit. although india, because of that indian variance of coven 19 will be doing it remotely. so more than just the g 7, but the coal group of the g 7 are the 1st ones to arrive. we'll see pictures the arrival in the next few minutes. they'll be the traditional family photo where they post pictures and in about 45 minutes time, the actual opening of the 1st session, looking at the problems of cobra, 19 of doses of vaccination, and the comic problems related with the pandemic. and how to deal with all list the title, rather hackneyed phrase, building back a better a slogan that's been used both in the u. k by boris johnson and in the us by joe biden. and that is what they're trying to achieve. and certainly they're going to make some pledges. we already know basically what the g having to go to pledg

can the g 7 still manage? as you said, you know, the world has changed from the seventy's and i think the crowd of viruses showed just showed us how even the most powerful countries in the world can be leveled by a challenge. yeah, welcome back to think back to 2008 in the midst of the financial crisis. at that point. then president george w bush realized that the g 7 wasn't enough. so he created or helped to create the g 20. so i think the way the g 7 can be relevant now the, the most urgent way is i think, to get that 1000000000 doses of vaccine and that more out to the countries that hadn't been vaccinated yet. there was good news what a week ago. so when the g 7 agreed on a goble taxation scheme, and now it's my 2nd job to convince the g 20. and if that can happen, and if the g 20 then can convince more countries to get those vaccines for, for all the people who need them, then i think we'll see that you step back in business. but i think we are definitely seeing that the group has to be bigger than 7. alr

now we have coverage at the g 7, summit closing statements. i'm joined here in the studio by the abuse chief international editor richard walker, and from the summit venue in cornwall, england by w correspondent, beg mass maggots. what do you make of prime minister johnson's take on the summit? well prime minister boys, johnson, in his typical optimistic and manner, he was the host to the summit where the west really said that they are standing together again. and that multilateralism is back. and boys johnson will be very proud that he, he is the host to someone like this, and the imagery will be amazing for him. the sunshine and cornwall, the barbecue on the beach, the 3 generation of royals that have impressed leaders like america, like she said, it was moving to meet them. so that all looks very, very good for him. but the underneath, there are some tension and one is just the example is the issue of brag seat. there is the thorny issue of border control in northern ireland and then the u. k. and the e u. a really at loggerheads. and this

that was case when i was covering g 7 summit. now they're described as the club of wealthy liberal democracies, which obviously excludes china. russia is effectively bored. is the g 7 becoming more ideological? alexandra? well i think that the g 7 has been facing a lot of criticism for years now. i also covered 2 g 7 summits. when the former you as president donald trump was attending. and at this time, it seems that you, that 7 nations are in real trouble. and i think that this meeting, he and cornwall is addressing some of the issues. because there is this notion to extend to format to include. although democracies, india, south korea, australia, and south africa were invited to this summit to discuss the global challenges and also may be to forge alliance to counter china, increasingly aggressive behavior. alexander, thank you very much. that was the w alexander phenomena. well someone who's also watching that g 7 meeting very closely is you're going to 15. he's a green party member of the german parliament serving on the fore

7, either part of the g-7 or invitees. everyone's customer is china. so everyone geopolitically have to walk a fine line between tough on china and doing business with china. politically people want to be tough, but with the business, people have to conduct business with china, so it is very much a double edged sword. manus: we know you are a flag-waving mario draghi fan. let's put it in context for markets. why his economic background is going to be so important in terms of fiscal policies adopted , because the imf are asking for more borrowing. the banks propagating that as well. people are saying to me this is folly because when rate hikes come, the debt load will be expensive. robert: -- martin: yes, and that's why we call it, most people are sick to death of monetary policy over the last decade, and you have the acronym of unp, -- ump, unconditional monetary policy. but fiscal policy is clearly troubled if we get excess debt. it depends on what that fiscal policy will be used for. the main take away from the g-7 is to

and that's why the g 7 life of g 7 countries have the upper hand. thomas poker in new haven type spring in here. because if we talk of africa and countries in africa being loses, there's actually quite a few countries in the northern hemisphere that will also be lose as such as island . and perhaps france, if you look at the islands, what corporate tax rate of 12 and a half percent does attract a lot of big business. we know that, you know, companies like google, i think facebook, the headquarters in dublin. and the best local surroundings. france has a corporate what charger, corporate tax charge of 31 percent in that conversation. amongst a g 7 finance ministers. i went to, i was going through the french finance ministers mind when he's agreeing to 15 percent as a new culprit rate. when france itself charges $31.00, what's going on there? yeah, i think that this follow the pressure on both sides of the one hand. of course, the rich countries, one this minimum tax read to be close to their own because they don't want to lose corporate taxation. but

at the g 7 summit in cornwall, england. they will pledge to provide 1000000000 doses of koby 19 vaccine to poorer countries. the move aims to address criticism that wealthy nations have secured the vast majority of back scenes against corona virus for themselves. meeting u. k. prime minister boris johnson, the head of the summit president joe biden said the us would donate 500000000 vaccine shots. it began with friendly elbow, bump, british prime minister, boris johnson, and us president joe biden, 1st in person encounter continued in a convivial and cheerful tone. romantic views, and the sidewalks with the 1st lady's included. power finally here. and it's been, you know, it's a beautiful beginning. leaders made a point of highlighting their nation's paint special relationship and made it official by signing an updated version of the 80 year old atlantic charter bite and said the alliance would help the countries address global challenges such as cybersecurity, the climate crisis, and the clone of iris pandemic together at

the g 7 laid is 1st in person talks in nearly 2 years. they are expected to cover a range of topics with a focus on the current of ours pandemic and the climate emergency, as well as the strengthening of multilateral ties. johnson kicked off the conference with a welcome speech, and i actually think this is a meeting that genuinely needs to happen, because we need to make sure that we learn the lessons from the pandemic. we may need to make sure that we date repeat some of the arrows that we doubtless made in the course of the last 18 months or so. we need to make sure that we now allow our economies to recover. and i think that they have the potential demands not very strongly. i'm joined now by w correspondent. i had a phenomena in cobb and bay where that g 7 summit is taking place. alexander was a relatively brief opening statement. what was the gist of bars? jones johnson's address? well, what struck me was that he was quite optimistic talking about the economy recovery, talking about how to cope with the co nomic fall out of the coro

really being dealt with the g 7 . so i think that's the reality for almost any of the countries dealing with these big sort of foreign policy issues. the, you know, it, it interest people on the, on the periphery and certain people have certain interest in it and they can get kind of wip, talk about certain things, whether it's climate change or china or whatever. but still, domestic politics always comes 1st. yeah. sounds like that, i don't know if this is still with us and as if you still with us. so. busy there's been, you know, talk about how really the g 7 see china and all of this is china. i a part nice china, a full is china security consent. what is china to g 7? well, i think all of it, right. i mean, as richard just explained, china as role in the world is getting bigger and bigger and the united states feel that they are losing or maybe have even lost kind of their importance on the world stage. even so, joe biden is everything to show that he's back. and as we talked earlier on, every single gesture at th

the g 7 obviously is, is a part nay. but russia has got an important meeting coming up with joe biden, so, so what is going to be a pearson going to be looking to get out of these meetings? and is it hoping to jump on the bandwagon to help join these initiatives to kick starts? the global economy, and despite the pandemic, well, you actually race the very good and very important questions in your in your, your answer. in your asking me, actually, i would like to say that russian president vladimir putin. i said generally once to submit a claim, proof of the relationship with the united states and as well as with j 7 countries check in. that's all check taken them all. and actually this is jenny m genuine desire and we didn't put any preliminary conditions. i'm gonna say that's ok if we would very much like to develop relations with a european union with j 7, congress and we live in states. i think that the ball are isn't that they are part of the field extra. i mean the, there should be, if there is a genuine desire for

you knows are starting with g 7. he's going to brussels. next, he's going to be meeting nato. he's going to be at the european union summit and all of this is before then going to meet vladimir putin next wednesday. obviously no friend of the west. no friends, joe biden, at the moment. so i think, yeah, this is all part of putting on a show of unity of, you know, saying america is backwards being jo biden's mantra ever since taking office so that he can go into those talks with vladimir putin next week with the wind in his back that seat the americans have been using. why should stay here? we come back to you in a 2nd, but 1st, this is of course us presidents biden's 1st foreign trip since he took off his head of the trip. he made it very clear. he wants us to know that the front era is over and that a new chapter, the transit atlantic partnership is now beginning. the president has landed joe by non european soil for a week of diplomacy. his message, the trump years of neglecting the trans atlantic alliance, a well

i was going a couple of questions there at the g 7. some, it's now we have team coverage of the g 7 summit close in statements. i'm joined here in the studio by did of use chief international editor richard walker from the summit venue in cornwall, england via w correspondent, alexandra one knob and alexander. let me stop if you, what you may call prime minister johnson's take on the summit. while of course, his message was very optimistic, but that's what was expected. he was the host of the summit, very interested in this summit, being a huge success. and we really have to say that what was excellent at this meeting, he and cornwall was the atmosphere among the g 7 leaders. and this is of course, due to the arrival of the new you as president joe biden medical told us that she was very happy to welcome him to europe. and she was very happy to hear that the you ask is back that you ask is again, committed to working together friendship, my president in manuel, my call also praise joe biden, said he saying that he is now part of the cl

and i'm very, very pleased with the g 7. a came together to support that course because educating all children, particularly girls, is one of the easiest ways to lift countries out of poverty and help them rebound from the kind of ours crisis. with just one additional year of school, a goes future earnings can increase by 20 percent. i'm proud that g 7 countries have agreed to get 14000000 more goes into school and 20000000 more reading by the end of primary school in the next 5 years. and that the, the money that we have raised this week is a fantastic start. but of course, the world cannot have a prosperous future if we don't work together to tackle climate change. they to this year, u. k. was the cop $26.00 summit, which will galvanize global actual pike in climate change and how and create a healthy plan for our children and grandchildren. g 7 countries accounting for 20 percent of global carbon emissions. and we were clear this weekend. the action has to start with us. coffee space is one of the most beautiful places in

the g 7 commitments do not go far enough. they say to 2050 deadline to become carbon neutral to late despite pages made since the 2015 paris climate agreement, greenhouse gas emissions have gone up. le diplomat diplomatic editor james phases outside trigger council. now i think i've liked him now. so everything 1st in person g 7, summit since the pandemic cove at 19. and coming out of the pandemic, of course, taking center stage. yes, absolutely. remember last year's g g 7 summit didn't take place in person. it was virtual, and it was a great deal of criticism of the g 7 and the wider grouping the t 20 being missing in action, not leading the world at a time of pandemic. so a lot of focus now on what the g 7 is going to do this time reports that they're going to come up with a 1000000000 vaccine doses. but is that enough? joining me now is the british ambassador, the united states, current pierce, thank you for joining us on al jazeera. first question about what the g 7 is going to do. there is a lot of criticism of these cou

while this is the actual challenge for the g 7, all the g 7 nations have a long term goals to reach 0 nat emissions by 2050. but some of the countries like japan and canada are accused of not having sufficient plan to, to reach that goal. so it will be interesting whether you are really going to see bold action on the climate. that is what you ass administration is promising. that is what the you is hoping for. but as we just heard from the german chancellor, it's difficult to be really bold on climate when you don't have a climate commitment or, or more ambitious goals for our nations, such as china. alexander, i'm curious, the images we've been seeing make it look like the leaders around the same page. what's the, the climate behind the scenes? i think that the atmosphere is good behind the scenes. that is what you are. officials told us, i remember covering to g 7 summit with the participation of the former. you asked says donald trump. and at this time we thought that the g 7, it's in the real trouble when it comes to unity and important. so this is different now with the new you

that's the main promise from the 1st g. 7 summit. since the pandemic began leaders of the world, 7 main industrialized nations pledged among many things to tackle climate change and provide coven 1900 vaccines to the world's poor. while they also offer developing nations arrival to china, global investment and development strategy, the belt and road initiative basing was singled out in the summer. it's final communicate for a legit human rights violations. in jang and hong kong. b u. s. president says the g 7 is determined to uphold democratic values around the world's. i really feel very strongly. i propose that we have a, a democratic alternative to the belt road initiative to build back better. and they've agreed to that and that's underway is details of that we agreed to put together committee to do that and come up with that. and thirdly, that we are going to assist on high standards or to be for climate friendly, transparent alternative to the belt road. initiative and but in the meantime we're going to move forward with the ch

this is why g 7 lead. this is why it is to get them all talking to each other and just say this sort this out as a human race. you know, the piece highlights not only the need for urgent political decision, but also more environmental awareness. i'm afraid your hoover or you know, could last 20 years, it doesn't have to be thrown away so quickly and hopefully this will draw people attention to the fact, especially the people over there. then the jury says that these things, something has to be done about this. everyone involved hopes to some it will finally lead to action and not just more empty promises. united nations and aid groups or warning that 350000 people in ethiopia is war torn to grow. region are facing famine conditions. the un also says millions more are an urgent need of food supplies. the european government, the if the open government probably disputes the assessment, the don mo, as should be an active 14 year old. but he struggled to breathe per month. a don and his uncle lived in a cave,

well, of course, the g 7 cannot save the birds to the g. 7 was originally started out as an informal gathering around a fireplace of western leaders to talk without media presence without diplomats without advisors. as a very small informal setting, it has turned into a meeting that everybody takes an interest in, but it has never explained to solve the problem. the united nations are for that the 20th for that. but it's not the place where the work problems as of the place where western liberal democracies gather to compare notes and to agree on certain steps. and then the next step, you talk to countries outside of the g 7 to bring them on board or to listen to their ideas, demands and, and yes and hammer are compromises with them and, and, and try to find solutions with them. driven law maker alexander a graph lunch of really do appreciate your time and your perspective. thank you. the united nations in aid group so warning that 350000 people in ethiopia is war torn to gray region are facing famine conditions. the un also says millions more are in urgent need of food and assistanc

thank sir. brett president biden has left the g 7 a new key. now he's just boarded the air force one on his way to brussels. this is our 0. let's bring you up to speed with this house top stories. 2021 should be a turning point for the world. was the main message from all g 7 lead us. if they wrapped up the summit in the u. k, that joint communicate, they made a series of climate commitments that include achieving that 0 compet emissions by 2015. covered 19 was of course, a major focus with the group pledging 1000000000 vaccine doses for developing nations. they came down hard on china coating on bay jing to respect human rights. i know this going to sound somewhat prosaic, but i think we're in a con.

what is your message to the g 7 liter? we gather here on down and when he did of the g 7 countries pulled international law in the us. the national law is a fundamental part of one country to feel that the national law, one faith pirates to be to think what we think is how does that mean with the continued ethnic cleansing continued disposition? the latest effect on the they've been your the 73 years waiting for those to be in. and i think it's time for those needed to talk about the feed and that had to be yes, boy is ready for to me and i'm to be mans. brady. smell, i'm complicity that deals with every with israel. i think it's funded medical for them to take action and to bring to justice out to me are you getting any indication of call that the g 7 is receptive to that kind of message? that the worry, i presume from your perspective is that garza bonn bob and focus essential. but after the bomb, bob, this is finish, the world term from intention is elsewhere and nothing is ever resolved as it is the right. and it is fr

that's what the g 7 finance ministers agreed on. but our 15 percent enough and who else needs to be on board to make this a global minimum tax go to london and frankfort for. also coming up, bush opens a state of the conductor factory in germany today in a bit to make europe less dependent on the ation chips make. welcome to dw business . i'm monica jones and berlin. good to have you with us historic and ground breaking. now there's no shortage of perla tis in the reporting on a deal reached by g 7, finance ministers over the weekend. so what's the 1st all about? well, the ministers agreed to a minimum tax of 15 percent for multi nationals, or at least they agreed to further discuss the details of such attacks at the g 20 next month. it's a start and it could go a long way toward addressing the uneven way in which businesses are charged around the world. just have a look at the situation. currently, cooperation operating in japan has to pay the highest level of taxes at 31 percent that followed by germany. in the middle of the pack,

the world one once the g 7, summit wraps up this afternoon. it's on to the nato summit. secretary general yann's sultan book says the relations between nato and russia at the lowest since the cold war. what can we expect then? bit week in geneva, it's when biden men put in the boot and says he wants to the summit to establish dialogue and to restore personal contacts. what are we going to have to look out for in terms of body language and rhetoric? when that meeting takes place, well, you know, clearly biden's suspicion when it comes to poor tennis, quite deep and high, i should say. clearly when he looked at him to his eyes. as he told the new yorker, he didn't really see much clear. there's a lot of skepticism in washington when it comes to russia, but still, you know, if you remember from the obama years and that was the obama bite in administration, there's no bomb. i used to think that much of the bill possibly coming out of moscow. it's a sign of weakness and some strength. so why vitamin is taking a very aggressive, rhetorically speakin

the g 7 summit is underway in the u. k. a. u. s. president joe biden, making his 1st face to face meeting with world leaders since taking office. and the g 7 consists of leaders of canada, france, germany, italy, japan, the u. k. and of course, the united states leaders from other major democracy, south korea, south africa, and australia will attend, while indian prime minister there in your modi will participate by a video link due to the cobra, 1900 pandemic, ravaging his nation. so what are these big items on the agenda? well, let's bring in boom bus, co host, spend swan and chris the i to discuss been, i want to start with you. one of the big issues that will actually be talked about is that president biden. and the leaders of the g 7 group of nations were publicly endorse a global minimum corporate tax of at least 15 percent. now this is something we've discussed on the show in recent weeks. but what does this really mean for the companies involved, specifically big tech. yeah, well it means these global minimum taxes are re

in the g 7. we see that on the certainly in italy, mary, a dry g bridge are much more skeptical than is a recent predecessors direct who basically wanted to join china as a belt and road form. and we see the voters in saxony and hold on saying, well, we want to stay with the democratic values. and everybody is saying, well, i'm not sure why way should be given the inside track of our new digital economy, which we're building. and then you get into hong kong, arbitrary detention of citizens, canadians, australians and others. and who knows. ready when i say there's a lot of unanimity that just finally let's talk about the fact, but this is by not to trump. how much difference will american re engagement make 2 outcomes of g 7 meetings a lot. but we have to remember that the summit hosted by g 7 leaders actually did a lot even with trump there. the star, the show angle merkel at the g 20 a hamburg summit. justin shadow at the g 7 summit in shuttle war. but buying will make a big difference. he's br

in the g 7. we see that on the certainly in italy, mary, a dry d for are much more skeptical than is a recent predecessors direct who basically wanted to join china as a built in road form. and we see the voters in saxony and hold on saying, well, we want to stay with the democratic values. and everybody is saying, well, i'm not sure why way should be given the inside track of our new digital economy, which we're building. and then you get into hong kong, arbitrary detention, of citizens, canadians, australians and others. and who knows, we might say there's a lot of unit entity that just finally, let's talk about the fact. but this is by a not to trump. how much difference will american re engagement make 2 outcomes of g 7 meetings a lot. but we have to remember that the summit posted by g 7 leaders actually did a lot, even with trump there. the still the show, anglo merkel at the g 20, a hamburg summit. justin shadow at the g 7 summit in shuttle war. but buying will make a big difference. he's

so g 7 is also about coming together, talking face to face, trying to build report. and this meeting meeting is particular particularly about welcoming joe biden as the new you as president. and it's supposed to send a strong signal that the g 7 leaders are united and ready ready to take on the current challenges. you know, i'm curious that infrastructure project aimed at countering china is global influence. sounds very ambitious. what more can you tell us about it? it sounds very ambitious. indeed. the plan is to raise hundreds of millions or even hundreds of billions in both public and private money to invest and the infrastructure of poor countries and roads and bridges, but also in their digital and health infrastructure. and do you ask was pushing for those for this initiative to be adopted because they see it as an alternative western alternative to china's highly criticize belton road initiative scheme. however, some european leaders are still very cautious. we just heard from german chancellor macro. she was trying to play down this initiative a bit saying i

the who's this is dw, live from berlin, g 7 leaders a meet in the u. k for their 1st in person talk in 2 years earlier, they were joined by queen elizabeth as the evening focused on the urgent need to tackle the climate crisis. pandemic as the other major issue with leaders pledging to donate a 1000000000 coven vaccine doses to coordination. also coming up on the show has germany and green parties run out of steam. not long ago, the greens were leading the polls, but with just 3 months until national election, they are listening grounds. we look at what's gone wrong. ah. they were before they were protest years now they're in exile because they had the courage to resist the bell roof in regime of alexandra christian. so we take a look at a new documentary premier at the berlin film festival. ah . hello, i'm claire richardson, a very warm welcome to the show. leaders from the world 7 a wealthiest countries are meeting for the g 7 summit hosted by british prime minister orest johnson. some is being held in cornwall, england, and it marks the g 7 leaders.

g 7 son. it opens with host britain's private us to boris johnson, declaring that the leaders have a huge opportunity to lead the global pandemic recovery. ah, i made for him again. this is also a live from also coming up for protests and shake, jot up the flash points and occupied east jerusalem, where the palestinians face being forcibly displaced from their holes.

it's the g 7. and the reason for that is because by far the most important issue that the world is dealing with both health and economy is corona virus. and the g 7 response. the corona virus, it late, it's not as big as it needs to be, but still the biggest display of leadership from any quarter since the pandemic has started in terms of financing and jobs that really matters when put new and by and meet in geneva next week. literally they can do nothing to respond to corona virus . there is that's not even on the agenda. instead we're going to be talking about things like cyber attacks. things like energy policy, a little bit of climate, certainly human rights and the needles market to be moved very much. and i do understand that this is a much what the patrick meeting the press will make much more. how did i do? did he stared down by him or what was the mood music like in the room? the reality is rush is not as important for the united states as china is today. and the summit doesn't deserve the

g 7 liter is focused on climate change. on the final day of their summit heads of the world's richest countries planned to set new goals that cut carbon emissions. protestors say they want more than just hot air. we'll cross the cornwall for the latest. a medical emergency at the european football championship, denmark's christian ericsson collapse is on the field, but from his hospital bed he tells teammates the game must go on. the me welcome to our view is around the world. michael. local leaders of the wealthiest democracies are turning their focus to the fight against climate change. the weekends g 7 summit in cornwall has so far focused on countering china's economic influence. on the 3rd and final day, leaders are expected to set new targets to curb carbon and missions. even environmental protestors who turned out to criticize the piece of climate action had words of welcome for the us president. i'm really god joe. guide him as much religion leads to now, if you're talking to each other and the idea of climate chang

the g-7 agreed to that. visiting members participating in the g-7 who have coal-fired facilities have agreed that they will work in that direction as well. transitioning the world to cleaner energy sources is essential if we are going to be the climate -- beat the climate. something my colleagues said to me was " the u.s. recognizes there is global warming!" it is the existential problem facing humanity. we are willing to provide up to $2 billion to support developing countries as they transition away from coal-fired power. we agreed to tackle corruption, which is a threat to societies everywhere. i pointed out in the conversation i had with one of the leaders -- with china, it was a request for me not to try to -- when i was asked to what i was going to try to be doing, i said we are going to reestablish the strength of american relationships, alliances, and suggested " maybe you should not get the quad working together and maybe you should not be pushing the strengthening the european union to deal with th

do you expect any major commitments from the g 7 leaders? well, it is definitely something that the many campaigners who have descended onto the beautiful part of the world in the southwest corner of the united kingdom is what they are demanding. it comes at today when the international energy agency has said that oil demand next year is expected to exceed the $310.00 that make demand say we know that this is an ongoing crisis. and one issue that leads me to this costs is for example, the issue of climate fine. and so helping developing countries do something to reduce their own emission. so that's going to cost money. so this is some that the leaders might have to discuss at the summit. now the other major points that we know is going to be on the table is the corona virus pandemic. so what about cove it at the vaccine distribution? are you expecting to see any agreements this weekend there were expecting that a non signal plan for the vaccine donation. however, we also knew the campaign again, saying that this is not fast enough and it doe

they hold the g-7 once a year. presidents and prime ministers, all of these big influential countries all get together in person. last year it was america's turn to host it. we were supposed to host it. and do you remember what happened last year? do you remember what trump did when the u.s. was supposed to host the g-7? do you remember how that went? >> my people looked at 12 sites, all good, but some were two hours from an airport, some were four hours -- i mean, they were so far away. some didn't allow this or they didn't allow that. with doral, we have a series of magnificent buildings, we call them bungalows. they each hold from 50 to 70 very luxurious rooms, with magnificent views. we have incredible conference rooms, incredible restaurants. it's like -- it's like such a natural. >> "with doral." hah! he decided that if it was the turn of the united states of america to host the g-7 summit, the best place in america, really the only place in the whole country that would be suited to do that would be his own h

this russian miss being in the g 7. this must be somewhat painful for vladimir putin to watch from the sidelines because of course it used to be the way the g rush is no longer part of this club. well, what do you mean by saying miss, you know what we're suggesting when there was a collective decision on the j 7. i guess it was several years ago while our rights in 2014, when the starting ukrainian crisis, so bar or crimea, the g 7 decided to rush to get withdrawn from, from, from j 7 j a. sorry. so i, i don't think that russia, too much miss missed the, certainly the thing because i rush actually is south sufficient country patient country. and despite all the trouble with the not being a part of the j 7 or g h, whatever you made it, a russia still enjoys its its own pace and the joyce, its own policies and all the countries in the g 7 are self sufficient. part of the discussions that are going on lead to me are certainly go for to try to present this united front to tackle the big issues of the day. what is russia hop
