Climate activists from Extinction Rebellion have chained themselves at the gate of the G7 media centre to protest against what they say is a lack of action in climate change policy. The G7 gathering in a luxury resort in Puglia, Italy is formally focused on migration, global conflicts and the spread of artificial intelligence. Italy is hosting the summit of the Group of Seven leading industrialised nations, hosted by Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni in Borgo Egnazia. In nearby Fattizze d'Arneo, activists have gathered in a campsite to protest and hold thematic panels. The G7 summit is focused on...

Pope Francis has addressed leaders at the G7 Summit in southern Italy, the first pontiff to do so. Speaking at a special roundtable, the Pope challenged them to keep human dignity foremost in developing and using artificial intelligence, warning that such powerful technology risks turning human relations themselves into algorithms. "Faced with the marvels of machines, which seem to know how to choose independently, we should be very clear that decision-making, even when we are confronted with its sometimes dramatic and urgent aspects, must always be left to the human person," he said. "We woul...

Hosts Germany opened their Euro 2024 journey on Friday on a terrific note thrashing Scotland 5-0 in the opening match. The Scots reduced to 11 men in the game haven't played a European Championship match abroad since 1992. It took only 10 minutes for the German machines to get to work when Joshua Kimmich picked up a long pass from Toni Kroos and centred for Florian Wirtz who converted. The opener had been coming after early warning signs from the first minute when Gunn closed down on a loose ball with Wirtz in the running. The offside call could not have come better at the time. Finding himsel...

Bari (Italy) (AFP) - From bear hugs to looks that could kill, G7 leaders may have put on a show of unity at an Italy summit this week -- but it was not all la dolce vita. Footage of the leaders singing "Happy Birthday" to Germany's Olaf Scholz at Joe Biden's urging was the perfect display of Group of Seven cooperation. Thursday's welcoming embrace between Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, the summit host, and Britain's Rishi Sunak was so enthusiastic it went viral. "Giorgia is fantastic," Sunak told reporters Friday, highlighting the two right-wing leaders' cooperation on migration and de...

Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskyy has thanked the leaders of the G7 countries for agreeing to keep sanctioned Russian assets locked up until Moscow pays reparations for its invasion of Ukraine. That agreement has paved the way for €46 billion loan package for Kyiv. "We reached a political agreement to provide additional financial support to Ukraine, of around $50 billion (€46 billion), by the end of the year with a system of loans," said Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who is hosting the summit in the southern region of Puglia. Funding for the loan would come from interest earned ...

By James Cormack For the first time since 1972, Italy enter the European Championship as the holders. The Azzurri were so often the nearly men after securing their maiden European title during the rather primitive third iteration of the tournament in 1968. Italy were beaten finalists before Roberto Mancini's side peaked at the delayed Euro 2020 to break English hearts at Wembley. However, while there was a feeling of the Italians riding an unwavering sense of momentum at the previous tournament, the holders head into Euro 2024 with a distinct feeling of doubt. Here's 90min's guide to Italy at ...

Summit host Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni announced the "political agreement" after the first day of the Puglia talks, saying it was a hard-fought but "fundamental" step. Meloni in...
