09Th June 2021 o19 09th June 2021 THIS WEEK’S HEADLINES Worldwide cases of COVID-19 are at 174,399,994 with deaths totalling at 3,752,900 globally as of 8th June according to Worldometer. So far, 157,669,802 people have recovered from the virus. Online platforms for media outlets; The Financial Times, Le Monde, BBC, Euronews and Reddit amongst others reported an internet blackout with no access to their sites on Tuesday 8th June. Users received messages of "Error 503 Service Unavailable" or "Connection Failure" when attempting to view some online sites. The outage originated in a failure in a content delivery network (CDN) run by ‘Fastly’. Amazon and the UK GOVT website gov.uk also reported problems. Fastly have confirmed they have identified the source of the problem and “a fix is being implemented”. On Tuesday 8th June, Metropolitan Police officer Wayne Couzens, pled guilty to the kidnap and rape of Sarah Everard, the 33-year-old abducted and killed in London in March. Couzens has not yet entered a plea to the murder charge, and is awaiting medical reports to be completed. Underworld criminals around the globe were deceived into using a fake encrypted messaging app called “ANOM” as part of joint operation by the FBI and Australian Federal Police. ‘Operation Trojan Shield’ resulted in police raids on criminal gangs globally contributing to 800 people being arrested, eight tonnes of cocaine and twenty-two tonnes of cannabis seized together with £41m worth of currency and crypto- currency. Caches of weapons, luxury cars and goods were also seized during some 700 raids worldwide. The Alzheimer’s drug Aduhelm or Aducanumab from biotech company Biogen, received approval this week from US regulators and has become the first drug able to treat the disease itself rather than its symptoms, slowing down the progressiveness of Alzheimer’s. The announcement saw an increase in the share prices of Biogen and its partner on Aducanumab, Japanese pharmaceutical company Eisai. The US government has announced it has retrieved over half of the ransom paid to Dark Side, the ransomware group responsible for the hacking of Colonial Pipeline last month, causing massive disruption to fuel services across the East Coast of the US. The newly formed US Ransomware and Digital Extortion Task Force recovered the funds. Israel’s Parliament intends to debate and vote on Sunday on the decision to form a new government, potentially ending the 12 year reign of current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. A coalition of opposition parties to Netanyahu formed earlier this month after the inconclusive election in March. Netanyahu has referred to the coalition as “the fraud of the century”. Four members of a family of five died when they were targeted in a suspected hate crime in Toronto, Canada on Monday 7th June. The Muslim family of 5 were participating a family walk when a vehicle is believed to have deliberately driven into the family killing three generations of the family immediately and leaving their young son critically injured in hospital. 20 year-old Nathaniel Veltman was arrested shortly after the attack and has been charged with four counts of first-degree murder. BREXIT A further extension to part of The Internal Markets bill is under review in Northern Ireland as the EU and UK continue to struggle to come to an agreement over the Northern Ireland Protocol. The import of chilled meats from Great Britain to Northern Ireland is currently experiencing an extended grace period (until June) after which it will be subjected to strict EU restrictions on the import of food products causing further delays and shortages in the province. The internal markets bill controversy comes as US President Joe Biden arrives in the UK for the G7 summit and has already made his feelings regarding the Northern Ireland protocol known suggesting UK Prime minister Boris Johnson is ‘inflaming tensions’ in the area. 2 WORLD NEWS/RAS/03rd June 2021 ACTIVISM This weekend the G7 summit convenes in St Ives, Cornwall. Mass disruptions in the Devon and Cornwall area are likely and protests are expected nationwide. For further details please see our Insight on the G7 summit below.

As of Wednesday 9th June, over 40,710,319 people have received their first dose of COVID-19 vaccination in the UK and 28,540,844 have received their second dose according to GOV.UK. Monday 21st June will see the UK Prime Minister deliver a scheduled update on the easing of lockdown restrictions. In the much anticipated address, the expectation is for the UK to be in a position to return to normal life (with a few social distancing measures/mask requirements still in place). The reality appears to be the announcement of a delay to ‘freedom day’ to mitigate the risk from the spread of the highly contagious Delta (Indian) variant of the virus. On Wednesday 9th June In the port of Greenock, Scotland the cruise ship MSC Virtuosa was informed they would not be permitted to dock in Scotland. The ship is currently on an UK coastline 7-day cruise sailing with 900 passengers instead of 6,000 at full capacity, all passengers received both vaccinations and tested negative for the virus before departing. The Scottish government announced COVID-19 restrictions still apply until all of Scotland moves into level 1 of the lockdown lifting roadmap. The UK’s Department of Health announced on Tuesday 8th June the highest rise in COVID-19 cases – week on week- since Christmas. The UK saw a 90% rise in cases as the Delta Variant takes a grip in the North of the country. Health Minister Matt Hancock has urged residents in Lancashire and Greater Manchester not to leave their area and if possible to meet outdoors only (unless in a support bubble). People over the age of 25 in England have been encouraged to get vaccinated as the UK’s vaccine program progresses ahead of schedule. In Scotland those over the age of 30 and in Northern Ireland those over the age of 18 are all now eligible. UEFA Euro 2020 (delayed from last year due to the pandemic) will commence this month with some matches played in the UK. Matches at Wembley start this Sunday 13th June when England will play Croatia, spectators will have to provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test and be fully vaccinated. The event at Wembley will see a crowd of 22,500 people (25% capacity).

  • Japan's G20 Presidency for 2019
    RESEARCH & ANALYSIS Japan’s G20 Presidency for 2019: Potential Agendas and Issues Masahiro Kawai Introduction Japan will assume the G20 presidency for 2019. For this, Japan intends to demonstrate its greater leadership in the G20 process on the basis of its efforts at, and contributions to, G20 Summits thus far. This is the first time Japan hosts the G20 Summit on Financial Markets and the Global Economy, which will be held in Osaka on 28-29, June 2019. This chapter reviews the potential agenda and issues that will be implemented by Japan on its 2019 G20 presidency.1 1. G20 Summit The G20 Summit is an annual meeting for the political leaders of Group of Twenty (G20) economies, i.e., Argentina, Australia, Brazil, PENSAMIENTO PROPIO 48 PENSAMIENTO 185 Japan’s G20 Presidency for 2019: Potential Agendas and Issues Canada, China, the European Union, France, Germany, India, Indo- nesia, Italy, Japan, Korea, Rep. of, Mexico, Russian Federation, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Several countries, such as Spain, Singapore and the African Union chair country, as well as major international organizations, such as the United Nations (UN), International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Bank (WB), and the Financial Stability Board (FSB), are in- vited to the Summit. Other invited countries vary depending on the consideration of the G20 presidency. The G20 Leaders’ Summit was launched in November 2008 as a forum for the political leaders of major advanced and emerging economies to cope with the global financial crisis that had culminated following the Lehman shock. Nonetheless, there was a G20 process for finance ministers and central bank governors that had started in 1999; but in 2008 it was decided to upgrade this ministerial process to a leaders’ process.2 The G20 Summit was held twice a year in 2009 and 2010, and has been held annually since 2011.

  • 2018 Charlevoix G7 Final Compliance Report 10 June 2018 — 25 July 2019
    The G7 Research Group at the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy at Trinity College in the University of Toronto presents the 2018 Charlevoix G7 Final Compliance Report 10 June 2018 — 25 July 2019 Prepared by Angela Min Yi Hou, Julia Tops, and Cindy Xinying Ou 23 August 2019 www.g7.utoronto.ca [email protected] @g7_rg “We have meanwhile set up a process and there are also independent institutions monitoring which objectives of our G7 meetings we actually achieve. When it comes to these goals we have a compliance rate of about 80%, according to the University of Toronto. Germany, with its 87%, comes off pretty well. That means that next year too, under the Japanese G7 presidency, we are going to check where we stand in comparison to what we have discussed with each other now. So a lot of what we have resolved to do here together is something that we are going to have to work very hard at over the next few months. But I think that it has become apparent that we, as the G7, want to assume responsibility far beyond the prosperity in our own countries. That’s why today’s outreach meetings, that is the meetings with our guests, were also of great importance.” Chancellor Angela Merkel, Schloss Elmau, 8 June 2015 G7 summits are a moment for people to judge whether aspirational intent is met by concrete commitments. The G7 Research Group provides a report card on the implementation of G7 and G20 commitments. It is a good moment for the public to interact with leaders and say, you took a leadership position on these issues — a year later, or three years later, what have you accomplished?

The expansion of summit agendas has given “fresh oxygen” to the dialog between the G8 leaders. The Kremlin at the G8’s Helm: Choosing the Right Steps Vlad Ivanenko 22 Chairing the G8 meeting in St. Petersburg is an important test of the Kremlin administration’s ability to advance its national interests abroad. If Russia engages other members in a substantive discussion of its proposals, it will make a significant accomplishment. Comments by Hiski Haukkala and Peter Rutland. Russia, an Engine for Global Development Fyodor Shelov-Kovedyaev 36 Russia should cease playing a game of “catch up” with the so-called devel- oped economies, as well as relinquish the idea of antagonism between Russian and Western interests. Russia and the West objectively need each other. Contents The Russian Economy Today and Tomorrow Arkady Dvorkovich 46 While the problems that Russia must solve in the next three years are quite serious, the long-term challenges are much more fundamental. These chal- lenges include the reduction of the Russian population; the decline in the skill level of manpower resources; the aging of the infrastructure; and the need for sufficient competitive niches in the global division of labor. Foreign Policy Imperatives Asia’s Future and Russia’s Policy Situation Analysis 56 The formation of Russia’s new policy toward the Asia-Pacific countries is impossible without transforming its foreign-policy thinking, which has been traditionally focused on the Euro-Atlantic space.
