In this week’s show, a global deal to help get rid of plastic waste that’s been signed by 180 countries; a call for a “COVID ceasefire” in Myanmar, how more efficient food production could help solve a global hunger crisis and positive coronavirus vaccine developments in Africa.

Ali Velshi is joined by Chair of the Congressional Black Caucus Rep. Joyce Beatty, Rep. Sharice Davids, NIH Director Francis Collins, Texas State Rep. Rafael Anchia, Boston Globe columnist Renee Graham, comedian and author D.L. Hughley, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones, and the New Yorker’s Jelani Cobb

Vor den Klippen Cornwalls stehend, strahlt Präsident Biden mit den anderen G7-Partnern beim Gruppenfoto um die Wette. Und die strahlen zurück. Was für ein Kontrast zu den letzten Treffen dieser Art. Und nicht nur, weil es nach dem pandemiebedingten Ausfall im vergangenen Jahr wieder stattfindet. "Amerika ist zurück!", so lautet Bidens Botschaft, die die anderen nur zu gerne hören. Allerdings, eine gewisse Skepsis bleibt weiterhin. Zwar kamen alle wichtigen Themen zur Sprache, von Pandemie bis Klimaschutz und zu den Herausforderungen durch China. Aber unterm Strich blieb einiges doch recht vage und die Front nicht ganz so geeint, weil Deutschland etwa nicht ganz so konfrontativ China gegenüber auftreten will wie die US-Regierung es gerne hätte. Wendy und Jiffer diskutieren, ob Biden tatsächlich Europas „Traumpartner“ ist oder ob „America First“ weiter der bestimmende Unterton amerikanischer Außenpolitik bleibt (wenn auch nicht mehr so brachial). Außerdem: wie sehen die Amerikaner zu Hause Bidens ersten Auftritt auf internationaler Bühne als ihr Präsident? Und: wie wird wohl das Treffen mit Russlands Präsident Putin verlaufen?
