And heart issues in children. And a Chicago Police officer is out of a job after being charge ld with the capitol riot. Hear how his former chief is commenting. And this year, the Westminster Dog Show, brings about the change something not 19 in the shows 145year history. Well tell you all about it. We appreciate you joining us bright and early this saturday, june 12th. Thanks so much for starting your morning with us, amara, always great to see you. Thank you, how are you doing, boris . Good, hanging in there, muggy weather in d. C. Hopefully a little sunny today. Same thing here. Under way right now, the worlds Major Economies are meeting for day two of the g7 summit. On the agenda, Building Back the Global Economy post pandemic. Plus, competing with china and finding a Global Health declaration to make sure another crisis like the coronavirus never happens again. Yeah, joe bidens first outing on The World Stage as president is a chance to put his america is back mantra into practice. And so far, the visuals match the message, at least in comparison to his predecessor, right . Allies here, side by side, for the socalled family photos. And even in some cases, arm in arm, with the french president , Emmanuel Macron, very chummy those two leaders set to hold a bilateral meeting in just a few hours with serious disagreements on china and trade on the table. And looming all over it, President Bidens first facetoface in geneva. Laying out the state of the u. S. And russia relationship. Translator we have a bilateral relationship thats deteriorated in recent years. Lets get to jeff zeleny in falmouth, england, covering the summit. He joins us live. Jeff, one of the president s goals here is to repair relationships that have been strained and to reestablish a Multi Lateral approach to tackling global issues. Walk us through these meetings and what is at stake today . Reporter good morning, boris for the second day of the g7 summit. The sun is actually signing in cornwall up against the atlantic ocean, a beautiful site where the leaders are just resuming their meetings this morning. As you said, one essential themes for the summit, add least for President Biden is about strengthening the alliances with the u. S. And europe. Also talking about coming together to strengthen the Infrastructure Plans and strengthen the economic plans coming out of this global pandemic, all of this, of course, talking about the competitiveness of china. Thats one of the central themes, items on agenda today, how the countries can come together economically to compete in chinas rise. This is one of the key topics when President Biden holds his first facetoface bilateral meeting with french president Emmanuel Macron. We did see them greeting each other, arm in arm, hugging each other. President biden, yes, has been on The World Stage for much of his professional life but has never been in this club of leaders. Now, hes forming his own relationships, forging his own friendships and working through disagreements here. He has said repeatedly america is back but some leaders are skeptical how true that is and how true that will be in the future. So that is something that he is focusing on here. Last evening here in cornwell quite the sight for us when all of the leaders were coming together around queen elizabeth. You can see some of the pictures here, i believe, she was holding a Family Photograph with them. But also meeting with them individually at a cocktail reception. This is the 95yearold queen really making one of her first outings in the wake of the pandemic with the senior royals. Certainly a prelude to their meeting corporal when President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden travel to Windsor Castle for the meeting with the queen. But this morning, the meeting this afternoon with french president Emmanuel Macron, key to foreign relations, boris. Ill take it, jeff. That will happen, that bilateral between biden and the french president Emmanuel Macron, i think the breaking news is that the sun is peeking through there in england. Jeff zeleny, enjoy it while you can. It looks beautiful there. Thanks so much, jeff. Sure. Well, the historic gathering of the worlds top economic powers adds other chapter to the complex history of the g7. Cnns tom foreman is here to explain exactly who is in the club and what they do. Reporter the g7 is a short, but efficient abbreviation for the group of seven. And what it means is seven of the most powerful economies in the world, specifically, with a democratic focus. So, the United States, canada, uk, france, italy, germany and japan. Thats the g7. And they get together to talk about these big issues. How do you get thrown out of the g7 . Well, what used to be the g8 and russia in there, they got thrown out because of 2014, they invaded crimea, and the leaders said that is not something we can support, you shouldnt have done that, russia out the door. It used to be called the library group. It was called because of a formal meeting of Finance Ministers at the white house in the library where they said, look, how can we help each other out. In effect, thats what they still do. They meet once a year and they talk about big issues where these big economies can Work Together and help each other out. So, Global Warming would be one of them. Right now, vaccinating the rest of the world is one of the big concerns out there. And maybe even things like cyberterrorism, the idea theyre harboring nations like russia, china, iran and north korea, allowing individuals to stay Cyber Attacks on companies around the world. The g7 can get together and say maybe we can find a way to penalize those countries for letting these people do this. And there can be global consequences for all of this, thats why the g7 may be just a letter and number that those two can reach All Around The World with their impact. Boris, amara. Excellent break down from tom foreman, thank you for that. We have plenty to discuss, fortunately we have two great voices to join us. Joining us, cnn political commentator errol louis and david sanger. David is actually in the uk covering the summit. Well start with you, david. President bidens first g7 outing not quite as dramatic as we saw with donald trump leading the United States. And im reminds of this picture in 2018 in canada. The picture says a thousand words, this one says it all. Im not sure we can it there it is, its like a carvagio painting. There it is. How would you describe bidens meeting with the g7 and what hes trying to accomplish here . Well, i think, boris, the first thing weve learned here is that joe biden is benefitting from the fact that hes showing up and not being donald trump, right . All of that builtin contention that you saw before is gone from this. But that doesnt make any of the issues, and include something of the divisions with the europeans any easier to handle. For example, today is going to be largely about getting europeans on board with an american agenda to be much more confrontational with china as weve heard. For the europeans, thats hard. Ger germany sells a large number of luxury cars, theres a Big Trade Relationship and they dont want to be made to choose between the United States and china. But from everything that were hearing thats in fact whats going to happen. And one of the things you should expect, for example, is go be to be coming up with alternatives to the chinese Big Development initiative that has given klein influence around the world. Youre going to see joint statements about not buying goods that are made by forced labor, thats obviously aimed right at china. So, you are seeing a much friendlier approach but youre seeing also underlying tensions. Now, errol, well dig into china, but i want to step back and look at The Big Picture because we heard jeff zeleny reporting even though some european officials describe a sigh of relief at having joe biden there, there is some skepticism about American Policy And The Shadow of donald trump and how they may affect the United States in a lasting way. How does joe biden navigate that . Does that pose a challenge to his goals in having these multilateral efforts with european allies . Well, look, it certainly does present a challenge. Of course, its going to come to a conclusion after the summit when he goes to a further meeting facetoface with the russian dictator. Upholding democracy is one of the things we expect the american president to do. Thats why we call him the leader of the free world. The g7 summit is an economic conference, primarily, but its also an attempt to uphold the idea that democracies work better than atratocracys. Its something is that joe biden has campaigned on and believes in and something that hell fight for, even as there are headlines that weve generatored and weve talked about constantly about how we almost lost the whole thing, how democracy remains under attack and some of those attacks came from within the country itself. Its really, i think, a sign that it weakens the country on the international stage. To have people, you know, roaming the halls of congress, i mean, with the members of congress, the idea that hundreds of people have been arrested. Some of them from the military, some of them from law enforcement, for attacking 50 idea of counting up the votes properly. Its a serious question. David, so, factoring that into the question of china, biden has some g7 countries on board, japan, no doubt. But really the two that are most open to economic relations with chinas are Angela Merkel of germany and Emmanuel Macron of france. Both of them arguing for strategic autonomy between the United States and eu with china. How does biden align this western democracies against this autocratic regime that poses a threat to the 21st century . No, boris, you put your finger on just the right issue here. So, germany, obviously, has been the most outspoken with engaging with the chinese. That is particularly difficult right now, because youre in a position where youre in leadership change, right . This is Angela Merkels last summit. Shell be gone in a few months. And so, i think one of the Big Questions is does the new government in germany take the same view that she does. And with the french, this is their strategic autonomy is also not being overly dependent on american decisionmaking. Theyre worrying whether joe biden is the blip. Whether the United States could turn back to some form of trumpism after the 2024 election. But i think the bigger issue that has sort of surrounded all of these meetings is that they are concerned that the atocracy theme is pushing the United States back into a different time of cult war nonetheless. Thats been the big concern, the way they come out of this does not send a signal to the china or the russians that were happy to go back to the bad old days of cold war. We have to leave the conversation there. Still plenty on the table to discuss. Im sure we will do that in the coming hours, david sanger from the uk, thank you. Errol louis, we appreciate the time.
