  1. What to expect on the final day of the summit

    There’s still a lot for the leaders of the seven nations to finish discussing before they leave the summit later today.

    The world leaders and their spouses will visit Shukkeien, a historic Japanese garden, before Japanese PM Fumio Kishida speaks at a press conference around 14:30 local time (06:30 BST).

    We’re also expecting to hear from US President Joe Biden and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky before the summit closes.

    There's a lot of interest in their meeting after the White House's announcement yesterday that it was going to begin allowing Western allies to supply Ukraine with advanced fighter jets, including American-made F-16s.

    The proceedings should wrap up around 21:00 local time (12:00 GMT).

  2. Welcome to the G7 summit’s final day

    After a day or so of “will he or won’t he?,” Volodomyr Zelensky made a scene-stealing arrival at the G7 summit in Hiroshima, Japan on Saturday.

    As you can imagine, the Ukrainian president had a busy time once he landed, meeting with UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, French President Emmanuel Macron, Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

    His early arrival - the Ukrainian leader wasn't due to reach Japan until Sunday - led to a change in schedule. The leaders released their communique a day early - presumably so diaries could be clear for talks with Zelensky - which touched upon how the G7 wants to continue to support Ukraine against Russian aggression as well as outlining aims for China, climate and energy.

    Which leads us then to Sunday, the final day of the summit. We’re expecting to hear from Sunak, and Zelensky is expected to meet with US President Joe Biden.

    I’ll be taking you through today’s coverage along with my colleagues in London and we will have reporting from Tessa Wong, Laura Bicker, Shaimaa Khalil and Chris Mason in Hiroshima.
