A bunch of the world's most powerful leaders are currently in the United Kingdom for the G7 summit, where they'll discuss all sorts of important issues.
It's a return to the in-person diplomacy of the Before Times, when the Covid-19 pandemic didn't exist, borders were open, and presidents and prime ministers had no excuse to get them out of the tedious shmoozefests on their calendars.

Or maybe politicians actually like this sort of thing.
There will be a time and place to discuss the substance of the G7, and I look forward to my inevitably fruitless attempts to come up with a headline interesting enough for you to click on that story.
