View from the summit: what did the G7 achieve?

Geopolitics has dominated this year’s G7 political meeting in Evian, France. Donald Trump offered scant detail on the Iran peace deal but leaders promised to boost support for Ukraine. Though prostitution in Japan has a long history, recent scandals have drawn it into the spotlight. And Britain’s Country Life magazine has a winning formula: ignore the news.

  • Moeka Iida, East Asia reporter
  • Catherine Nixey, Britain correspondent
  • Rosie Blau, host of “The Intelligence”


Topics covered:


  • G7, Donald Trump, Iran, Ukraine
