Face to face meeting, a rebuke to china and russia. Airline bosses were hoping the g7 summit would be the beginning of a us uk travel corridor across the atlantic. But the industry hasn t been cleared for take off just yet. Plus, you can t exactly hold a g7 on an empty stomach. We speak with chef adam handling, who s prepared the menu for the summit. I ll have the dover sole with seaweed butter, thank you. Hello, i m christian fraser live in cornwall on the eve of the g7 summit. Laura trevelyan is in washington. It s been a day of high level diplomacy here on the english coast, with plenty of personal mixed in with the political . There s been camraderie for the cameras, and closed door talks; friendly walks on the beach, and more elbow bumping than you can imagine. And yes, a bit of news to boot. Christian? during his first official trip overseas, president biden announced the us plan to buy 500 million pfizerjabs, to donate to lower income nations. The news had been expected, and
The associated press, jonathan lemire. What time did you land last night? air force one got back right around 11:00, snagged a couple of hours of sleep, happy to be here this morning, staying away from anything that looked like it could be tea or coffee or anything else the russians may seriously, how are you feeling? everything good? i am fine. A little tired, but fine. You re alive. That s right. A giger counter. So you need a giger counter. Willie, you saw the picture yesterday, five russians on one red sox fan and, you know, it s kind of like when i saw the picture, do we have that picture? i hope so. It s coming. When i saw the picture, five russians named igor, coincidentally. All of them named igor. Off me, igor. Anyway, it was kind of like the opening scene of batman with christian bale where they have to separate him from all the prisoners, because he s beating them all up.

Hello and welcome. The us vice president, kamala harris, who s visiting guatemala, has urged its citizens not to come to the united states. This is herfirst stop on a regional tour aimed at tackling the undocumented mass migration to america right at the source. Ms harris and the biden administration are pledging $310 million in immediate humanitarian aid. In addition, there will be long term investments worth $4 billion to boost development and security across the region. And it s notjust money last week the us said it would send 1. 5 million vaccines doses to guatemala and mexico. But consider this: one us aid study looking into programmes in guatemala found that from 2006 to 2011, incomes rose less in places that got us funding, than in similar areas that received nothing.

vaccine. that trial also showed the temporary side effects people sometimes get from taking the vaccine, those were basically the same in that age group. that 12 to 16 age group, as they are in adults. and that is very good news. and that very promising results now in hand, means the fda s vaccine advisory group is apparently soon going to make its recommendations, and the fda will be expected to move quickly on approving the pfizer vaccine for 12 to 16-year-olds, 12 to 15-year-olds, since the current vaccines are approved for kids 16 and up. this could happen by next week. it could potentially happen by the end of this week. but this of course will be a huge relief to families around the country who have 12, 13, 14, 15-year-old kids who have been thinking about how to mitigate covid risk for kids doing summer activities and kids going back to school in the fall. the other two-shot vaccine similar to pfizer s, the moderna vaccine, that is in the midst of its own clinical tria
