This Thursday: G7 leaders meet in Japan, we explore the global arms trade, and we examine the science that meteorologists use to forecast and track a tornado.

CARL AZUZ, CNN STUDENT NEWS ANCHOR:

Rolling through the week, we're rolling through a number of different subjects today and we're glad to have you along.

First up, the G7, in short for group of seven.

Its annual meeting is going on right now in the nation of Japan.

The G7 is a membership of seven major world economies, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the U.K. and the U.S. It used to be known as the G8 and included Russia.

But after that country's controversial annexation of Crimea in 2014, the other nations suspended Russia's membership.

G7 leaders meet each year to talk about the global economy and international security.

As part of that, a big focus this year is going to be on terrorism, as well as last Thursday's mysterious crash of an Egypt air flight in the Mediterranean Sea.

Other topics for the leaders include uncertainty in the global economy, climate change and infectious diseases.

Earlier this week, we discussed the Obama administration's decision to remove a ban on U.S. weapon sales to Vietnam.
