Good morning

And welcome to another Sunday morning Guardian live blog.

Prime minister Anthony Albanese has praised a joint statement from the G20 denouncing the invasion of Ukraine as the “strongest messaging yet” from the world’s richest economies. There had been concern before the summit that consensus might not be reached owing to Russia’s presence at the meeting, but the final statement said all states “must refrain from all threats” and that “today’s era must not be war”.

Meanwhile the PM says he wants trade talks with the European Union wrapped by the end of year, after formal talks with French President Emmanuel Macron on the sidelines of the G20 summit on Saturday. Albanese said Australia will not “sign up to an agreement for the sake of having an agreement” but hoped a deal would be in the interest of all.
