Hi there, this is Michelle. The G7 summit entered its second day yesterday, spotlighting this time the war in Ukraine. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met Donald Trump as the EU tried to get the US leader to switch his attention from Iran to Ukraine, though to little avail.

Meanwhile, a mountaintop resort in central Switzerland was chosen as the venue for the signing on Friday of a deal aimed at ending the US-Israeli war against Iran. And here in Geneva, the UN refugee agency warned that 2.4 million refugees urgently need resettlement.
