Western leaders and podcasts came to Carbis Bay to participate in this year’s G7 summit. Boris Johnson and Joe Biden seem to have developed a brotherhood-despite their split in Northern Ireland. We discussed the key themes of the summit and whether Brexit has cast a shadow on the Prime Minister’s efforts to advance his global British agenda. In addition, let’s look at why the relaxation of lock restrictions on June 21 is unlikely to proceed. Hosted by Sebastian Payne, George Parker, Jasmine Cameron-Chileshe and Peter Foster. Produced by Josh Drama. The sound engineer is Blindtner. Commentary snippets: News Library, BBC, European Union.
