With reporting in Hiroshima from Tessa Wong, Shaimaa Khalil, Laura Bicker, Chris Mason, Nick Marsh, Sakiko Shiraishi and Eri Okazaki
The G7 leaders are behind closed doors while they feast on fresh seafood, so we are going to take that as a cue to pause our live coverage for the day.

Today's agenda was dominated by the war in Ukraine and that theme will no doubt be discussed tonight while the leaders hold their working dinner.
Here are some of the other key points we covered from the G7 summit:
  • Leaders agreed on more sanctions against Russia and demanded a complete withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine
  • Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky could be travelling to Japan for the G7 summit this weekend, but details are scarce
  • Meanwhile, Zelensky arrived in Saudi Arabia for the Arab League summit
  • G7 leaders laid wreaths at Hiroshima's peace memorial, in tribute to victims of the World War Two atomic bomb attack which killed about 140,000 people
