BBC World Service - World Business Report, Vaccines expected to dominate G7 meeting

Monday sees the start of the first in-person G7 meeting for two years.

The G7 - the group of the seven richest countries, starts a three day meeting later on Monday, the first in-person meeting for two years.

Ahead of the full leaders' meeting later this year, the G7's foreign ministers will be hammering out their respective positions on global issues. The meeting will be held in London and alongside the seven; the UK, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, US - the EU and representatives from Australia, India, South Korea and South Africa will also attend. We hear from Graham Gordon, head of policy at CAFOD, an international development charity. And independent economist, Michael Hughes joins us with news of better than expected corporate results, plus, Kieran Maguire, a lecturer in football finance at Liverpool University, tells us what's behind a Manchester United fan protest which saw its game against Liverpool, postponed. And we'll hear about a dispute in the South China Sea from Professor Pankah Jha at the Jindal School of International Affairs in Delhi. Also in the programme, the EU has pledged to concentrate on what they call The Digital Strategy, billing it as a once in a generation plan. We hear from the man in charge, Dr Roberto Viola who leads the team responsible for delivering the bloc's digital vision. (Picture of vaccine needles via Getty Images).
