tens of thousands take to the streets in tel aviv, calling for the release of hostages from gaza as israel's prime minister vows to continue the war. and china's premier visits australia where he says ties between the two countries are "back on track." hello. i'm lauren taylor. world leaders will continue their meetings in switzerland in the coming hours at the ukraine peace summit. late on saturday night local time, a draft communique was issued. it reaffirmed the territorial integrity of ukraine and stated �*unambiguously�* that any threat or use of nuclear weapons against it was inadmissible. it warned that food security must not be weaponised in any way. the draft also called for a �*complete exchange�* of prisoners of war, and for the return of displaced

ukrainian children and civilians. more than 90 heads of state and governments are attending. it makes it the largest world leader gathering solely focused on ukraine since the invasion began more than two years ago. but russia has not been invited and china is not attending. sarah rainsford filed this report from day one at burgenstock. shattering the peace of a swiss mountainside for the cause of peace in ukraine. volodymyr zelensky came to meet delegations from all over the world, coming together here to begin seeking out a path towards ending the war waged by russia. talking peace is new territory for kyiv, but now, it's seizing the initiative, hoping for a broad global alliance that can help push for a settlement on ukraine's terms. 101 states and international organisations are now at this summit and this is a tremendous

success, our success, the common success of all those who believe that a united world, united nations, are stronger than any aggressor. russia wasn't at the summit because ukraine believes scenes like this show vladimir putin's not interested in peace, just destruction and domination. only this week, he called on kyiv to capitulate if it wants a ceasefire. do you think that the west has been too scared of vladimir putin to actually help ukraine defeat him? well, i'm pleased that the uk has played a leading role in providing support to ukraine, the first country to provide lethal aid, more recently, under my leadership, the first country to provide main battle tanks, long—range weapons, to train air force pilots. that demonstrates the strength of support for ukraine. ukraine's close allies will have to go on doing all that, even as they support the stirrings of a peace process that would have to involve russia too at some point.

we are looking for the possibility, if thisjoint plan will be ready, it will be possible to invite a representative of russia and represent this plan. but this is very important, together with all countries, maybejust more, and it will be open dialogue. the gulf is huge. the chances of bridging it seem so remote. but far from the devastation in ukraine, perhaps there's a faint glimmer of hope. sarah rainsford, bbc news, lake lucerne. let's speak to paul d'anieri who is a professor of political science at the university of california, riverside. thank you very much for being with us. ~ . ~ , , with us. what think this summit can achieve? — with us. what think this summit can achieve? well, _ with us. what think this summit can achieve? well, it _ with us. what think this summit can achieve? well, it is - with us. what think this summit can achieve? well, it is not - with us. what think this summit can achieve? well, it is not a i can achieve? well, it is not a eace can achieve? well, it is not a peace negotiation, _ can achieve? well, it is not a peace negotiation, because i can achieve? well, it is not al peace negotiation, because of course the other is a representative, but is important in that and very significant number of countries has gotten together to reaffirm what is essentially ukraine's position on a peace negotiation

for quite some time, which is at peace has to include ukraine's territorial integrity. that is a pretty important marker to be putting down at this point in the war. you mention the absence of russia. what about the absence of china? how much does that make a difference? i of china? how much does that make a difference?— make a difference? i think it is symbolic— make a difference? i think it is symbolic to _ make a difference? i think it is symbolic to the _ make a difference? i think it is symbolic to the extent - make a difference? i think it is symbolic to the extent to | is symbolic to the extent to which china is choosing to take russia's side in the war, i don't think it is especially surprising. this is really a gathering of countries that support ukraine or at least willing to think about supporting ukraine. and so china clearly is supporting russia in this war and so they are not going to be there. the measures _ are not going to be there. the measures they _ are not going to be there. the measures they have announced so far, how easy will they be able to enforce some of the things i have come up with?— to enforce some of the things i have come up with? well, these are goals. _ have come up with? well, these are goals, things _ have come up with? well, these are goals, things like _ have come up with? well, these are goals, things like not - are goals, things like not using food as a weapon of war, not using nuclear threats, the russians have been using food

insecurity as a weapon of war and they have and i think they will continue to use nuclear threats not only in some of the statements they are making about nuclear weapons but the fact they are controlling this nuclear power station in zaporizhzhia that is really in a have —— hazardous condition. these are statements of intent but not statements of things that are necessarily easy to achieve. , _, , achieve. this comes in the backdmp _ achieve. this comes in the backdrop of _ achieve. this comes in the backdrop of elections - achieve. this comes in the i backdrop of elections coming achieve. this comes in the - backdrop of elections coming up in the us and the uk and france. ourapartment in the us and the uk and france. our apartment —— how important are those? i france. our apartment -- how important are those?- important are those? i think the are important are those? i think they are very _ important are those? i think they are very important. - important are those? i think. they are very important. they are still very far apart and i think part of what russia is waiting to see is how along the west or the ukraine's allies will continue to back it, whereas the west and ukraine's allies are trying to see how long russia can and will get as many of its people killed as it is getting. one big part as a

power in these countries. i think russia hopes elections will put some people in power who will be more amenable to resolving the war on terms favourable to russia. our much to think what was set out at the g7 summit, the us — ukraine bilateral deal if you like, how much will that cement in equipment and so on coming to ukraine and perhaps mitigate the effects of an election change? yes, this is a really important point because i think there is a lot of fear that if donald trump wins this election, that he will cut aid to ukraine. i am actually less certain about that than a lot of people are but what this agreement is doing in a way is trying to make it harderfor another administration in the united states to walk away from ukraine because terminating this agreement would be seen as capitulating to russia, and so

it is a lot of what is going on in this war now in the to any negotiations that could take place as both sides trying to convince other of their willingness to stick with it for a long time and endure a very high cost, and that ten year commitment is a very important thing for them in that respect.— important thing for them in that respect. paul, thank you very much — that respect. paul, thank you very much for— that respect. paul, thank you very much for your _ that respect. paul, thank you very much for your analysis. | very much for your analysis. thank you. israel's prime minister has vowed to continue the war against hamas after eight israeli soldiers were killed in a blast in southern gaza, the deadliest incident for the idf in months. the israeli army said the incident occurred during what it called �*operational activity�* in the city of rafah in southern gaza. the armed wing of hamas said it had fired a rocket towards an armoured vehicle after setting up an ambush israeli forces have been attacking rafah for weeks, saying hamas�*s last remaining battalions are based there. the hamas—run health ministry in gaza says 30 palestinians have been killed in the past 2a hours. our middle east correspondent hugo bachega filed this update late on saturday.

this is one of the deadliest incidents for the israeli military in this war. the israeli army said the armed vehicle these soldiers were travelling in was hit by a large explosion early on saturday and it seems that this explosion then sparked a detonation of explosive material that these soldiers were carrying. now, earlier, the armed wing of hamas said it had carried out an attack on an israeli convoy in gaza with anti—tank missiles after setting up an ambush. for some, this will raise questions about the israeli strategy in gaza. but this is another indication of how hamas is more reliant on insurgent tactics when fighting the israeli military. reacting to what happened on saturday, the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, described this war as difficult, but he said despite the heavy price, the country must cling

to the goal of destroying hamas�*s military and governing capabilities in gaza and also returning the hostages who remain in captivity. in tel aviv, thousands of people joined yet another protest, demanding a deal with hamas for the hostages to be freed. now, major differences between israel and hamas remain in these negotiations. negotiations that are based on a proposal that was laid out by president biden that he described as an israeli proposal. this plan would see the release of hostages and would pave the way for a permanent ceasefire in gaza. hamas wants guarantees that the war is going to end before agreeing to any deal and this is a contentious point in israel, so there is no indication of any breakthrough in these talks. china�*s premier li qiang continues his visit in australia — the first in seven years — amid warming ties between both countries. his first official arrangement

on sunday was on panda diplomacy, visiting adelaide zoo, the home of china—born giant pandas wang wang and fu ni since 2009. the trip also included a visit to winemakers in the famed barossa valley in south australia. wine is one of the many exports that was hit by beijing�*s sanctions in 2020 that was was seen as retaliation for canberra�*s call for an international inquiry into the origins of coronavirus. the trade barriers imposed by china on australian products cost exporters us$13 billion a year. but relations have since thawed with prime minister anthony albanese�*s government adopting a softer diplomatic approach towards china. last year, two—way trade with china grew over 9% to some us$216 billion. now, china is by far australia�*s biggest trading partner, taking in over 50% of its exports last year — mainly iron ore and coal — according to the rcep tracker. li and albanese will hold talks

on monday around issues of foreign influence, rivalry in the pacific and economic opportunities, with executives from key sectors such as energy and green tech. let�*s speak to deborah elms in singapore, head of trade policy at the hinrich foundation. thank you forjoining us. the chinese premier has urged what he said a shelving differences with australia. remind us what those differences are and whether they can really be shelved on this trip. i whether they can really be shelved on this trip. i think there are _ shelved on this trip. i think there are two _ shelved on this trip. i think there are two challenges . shelved on this trip. i think- there are two challenges here. one is economic and one is political security. where the challenge came from was in where politics and security it was triggered ostensibly by australia�*s questioning of where the coronavirus came from but the large point china was trying to make about the use of their market as an tool in getting partners to do more of what china wants. 50. getting partners to do more of what china wants.— getting partners to do more of what china wants. so, in terms of a relationship, _ what china wants. so, in terms of a relationship, how- of a relationship, how important is china to australia at this stage?—

at this stage? well, i think ou 'ust at this stage? well, i think you just noted _ at this stage? well, i think you just noted that - at this stage? well, i think you just noted that more i at this stage? well, i think. you just noted that more than half of the exports from australia go to china. it is by far the largest partner for australian exports, and when the chinese retaliated, especially in certain sectors like wine, it became a real problem for any industry or any player in that space in australia to suddenly and very quickly have to diversify their supplies, it was very challenging.- supplies, it was very challenging. supplies, it was very challenauin. �* ., . ., , challenging. and how much does australia's _ challenging. and how much does australia's reliance _ challenging. and how much does australia's reliance on _ challenging. and how much does australia's reliance on china - australia�*s reliance on china then hinder it economically, constrain it on a geopolitical front? i constrain it on a geopolitical front? ., �* ~' constrain it on a geopolitical front? , ., ., front? i don't think australia is unique — front? i don't think australia is unique in _ front? i don't think australia is unique in this _ front? i don't think australia is unique in this regard. - front? i don't think australia | is unique in this regard. most of the rest of asia is equally dependent on china is the largest in water and exporter for most goods across this region. i think australia�*s dependence may be slightly higher because it is very lopsided in favour of iron ore and in mining in general, buti think if you have one of the world�*s largest partners who are buying your products and supporting your standard of

living, it is very hard to figure out who else would do that. you can say we need to decouple, diversify, but to wear and at what cost, and so i think australia has gotten itself a little stuck on... in relying on china and that is why this visit is actually so important because it is helping reset a relationship that has been unnaturally bumpy in the last couple of years. meanwhile, china is not at the ukraine summit, as we have seen, and australia�*s allies like the uk and us are there. as it would australia in a tricky position with its allies on issues like ukraine and other global problems? i on issues like ukraine and other global problems? i think it can. i mean, _ other global problems? i think it can. i mean, we _ other global problems? i think it can. i mean, we just - other global problems? i think it can. i mean, we just saw - other global problems? i think| it can. i mean, we just saw the it can. i mean, wejust saw the g7, for example, issue a very hard statement that condemned only russia but also china. that is a problem for australia who have very high reliance on the chinese market for economic reasons, but also has very strong security and political ties to g7 nations, and that

does put australia in a challenging position of having to choose sometimes between economic political security interests, and that balance has been always challenging but has gotten much tougher. find been always challenging but has gotten much tougher.— gotten much tougher. and on a more frilly _ gotten much tougher. and on a more frilly note, _ gotten much tougher. and on a more frilly note, there - gotten much tougher. and on a more frilly note, there is - gotten much tougher. and on a more frilly note, there is a - more frilly note, there is a sign that pana diplomacy is still alive and well and there will be a new pair of pandas provided to adelaide so as a result of its visit. it almost seems like a cliche, the panda stuff. but it seems to still be there. it stuff. but it seems to still be there. ., , stuff. but it seems to still be there. . , there. it matters. soft power matters and _ there. it matters. soft power matters and in _ there. it matters. soft power matters and in this _ there. it matters. soft power matters and in this case, - there. it matters. soft power matters and in this case, i i matters and in this case, i don�*t know if a panda is that soft but it is an elevation of the kinds of things that matters. meanwhile, us presidentjoe biden returned home from the g7 summit in italy on sunday, straight into a star—studded campaign fundraiser in los angeles. the event�*s been touted by the biden team as the largest democratic fundraiser in history —

they say us$28 million has already been raised with more expected. the event featured former us president barack obama, as well as hollywood celebrities, including george clooney and julia roberts. the la times reported the event�*s most expensive ticket went for a tidy sum of us$500,000. it�*s the latest push by the campaign to show strength amid the president�*s persistent low approval ratings. president biden and rival donald trump remain tied in the national polls less than five months out from the election. meanwhile, former us president donald trump has been campaigning in the us city of detroit. mr trump first made an appearance at an african american church where he spoke at a roundtable with local community members. several hours later, he headlined a rally hosted by turning point usa. michigan is considered a key battleground state for november�*s presidential election and a must—win for presidentjoe biden�*s path

to a second term. donald trump made his pitch to voters on the issues of manufacturing, migration and inflation. take a listen. but i will stop joe but i will stopjoe biden�*s invasion causing spending spree and impose an immediate moratorium on the hundreds of billion dollars of waste, he is wasting money at levels never seen before, he is putting all this money into the green new scam, it is a scam, one of the greatest scams in history. a gunman has opened fire and wounded people at a water park in the us state of michigan. police say at least one child has been wounded among the nine victims of what they called random gunfire involving up to 30 rounds at the park. the local sheriff�*s office said it potentially had the suspect contained near the scene of the shooting in rochester hills, a suburb of detroit. the home secretary has asked for an urgent explanation from surrey police after officers used their car to ram a cow that was on the loose. the force says it was acting to ensure public safety, and the animal is now being treated by a vet.

this report from simonjones contains images you may find upsetting. friday night, a cow is wandering down a busy road. police say they have been trying to capture it several hours after it had been running at members of the public. what happened next has been described by the rspca as upsetting and distressing. we have decided not to show it in full. the cow was deliberately hit at speed by a police car. the animal is knocked onto its side and as it attempts to get up, it is hit again by the vehicle. up, it is hit again by the vehicle-— up, it is hit again by the vehicle. as i came out, i have seen the _ vehicle. as i came out, i have seen the police _ vehicle. as i came out, i have seen the police car _ vehicle. as i came out, i have seen the police car come, - vehicle. as i came out, i have seen the police car come, he | seen the police car come, he has rammed it and it got up and carried on running again and rammed it again. i carried on running again and rammed it again.— rammed it again. i think it would have _ rammed it again. i think it would have been - rammed it again. i think it would have been handled| rammed it again. i think it - would have been handled better, it was— would have been handled better, it was quite an extreme way the police _ it was quite an extreme way the police dealt with it. i think it would _ police dealt with it. i think it would have been dealt with a lot more — it would have been dealt with a lot more mainly. i think it was quite — lot more mainly. i think it was quite distressing for everyone. in a statement, the chief inspector said...

i think it is really difficult with that police officer at that time, the number one training priority is to protect the public around them stop that poor animal was obviously really psyched up because it had been... it managed to get out of its field, it got lost, running around that environment, and you could tell from the footage it was very stressed. from the footage it was very stressed-— stressed. this is a street where the _ stressed. this is a street where the cow _ stressed. this is a street where the cow was - stressed. this is a street - where the cow was rammed. it suffered a large cut to its leg and is being looked after by a vet. on social media, the home secretary said... after being hit, the cow eventually gets up and runs off

before being caught. surrey police say they will now refer what happened to the independent office for police conduct. simonjones, bbc news. staying in the uk, we�*re at the halfway point in the general election campaign with three weeks until the next government is formed. let�*s take a brief look at what happened on saturday. as we mentioned earlier, rishi sunak was in switzerland at a ukraine peace summit. for other political parties, the campaigning continued. labour leader sir keir starmer visited a hospital in nottinghamshire, together with the shadow health secretary wes streeting. they were promoting their plans for the nhs. the labour leader also ruled out raising capital gains tax on people�*s main homes should his party win the election. it comes after the conservatives repeatedly raised questions over labour�*s tax policies. we�*ve been clear about the 40,000 extra appointments each and every week, how we�*ll pay for them. that will make a massive difference to those people on waiting lists. that�*s two million a year. and just as we did when we were last in government,

we brought the waiting lists down, so we will do so again. on the broader area, yes, of course we need money for the nhs, but we also need to reform. i ran a public service for five years, i know that more money in the top does give you a slightly better service, but you only get a materially better service if you reform. as far as health is concerned, we need to reform, to go to the preventative model, we need much more in our communities. we have got fully funded mental health support in our communities that�*s set out in our manifesto, but we need to change the model, use much better technology. meanwhile, the prime minister shrugged off questions about the conservatives�* polls ratings. speaking at the ukraine peace summit, rishi sunak said the election was a clear choice between the tories and labour. what we�*ve seen over the last week is manifestos from both the major parties and the clear choice at this election between a conservative manifesto that offers a clear plan to deliver a secure future for britain, taking bold actions and, notably, cutting taxes for people at every stage of their lives. for people in work, self—employed,

buying their first home, families and, indeed, who are retired as well. in contrast, there are no ideas from the labour party, just higher taxes. £2,000 worth of higher taxes for every working family. i don�*t want to see that happening. that is the choice at this election. that�*s the latest from saturday. we�*ll have more across the day here on bbc news. and a reminder that, like every day during the election campaign, we have a special live page up and running online where you can get the latest from the campaigns, as well as analysis from our correspondents, whilst the bbc verify team will look at the claims made by the politicians. you can find that on the bbc news website or app. thousands of people lined the streets of london on saturday for the trooping the colour parade where the princess of wales made her first official public appearance since announcing she was being treated for cancer. catherine joined the rest of the royal family at the annual event to mark the king�*s official birthday. it�*s the first royal engagement she has carried out this year. the king — who is also having cancer treatment — travelled by carriage instead of riding on horseback as he has done in the past.

charlotte gallagher reports. a much—anticipated moment — the princess of wales back in the public eye. all eyes on her for her first appearance since she announced her cancer diagnosis. she was a huge draw for the crowds in central london today. this is a day full of tradition and spectacle, but it�*s also about family. the king and queen in their carriage. it�*s his first trooping the colour since his own cancer diagnosis and he chose not to travel on horseback. national anthem plays the troops taking part in this annual celebration of the king�*s official birthday have been rehearsing for months. every step, drumbeat and musical note has to be perfect.

the irish guards led the event this year, and their colour, or regimentalflag, was on full display. their royal colonel, the princess of wales, looked on with her children, as the king took the salute from the parade ground, next to his son and heir to the throne, prince william — himself, the royal colonel of the welsh guards. marching band plays the princess of wales only announced she was attending the parade yesterday and it�*s a welcome sign about her progress. but this isn�*t a return to full public duties. although the weather wasn�*t ideal, the pageantry of trooping the colour was the same, with the king braving the elements outside buckingham palace. marching band plays

crowd cheering and as if on cue, the torrential rain stopped just in time for the traditional end to the day — a balcony appearance and fly—past. the king and princess of wales stood next to each other as they took in the red arrows display. a family united after what�*s been an incredibly difficult six months. charlotte gallagher, bbc news. let�*s turn to sport. italy have beaten albania 2—1 in their group b match of football�*s european championships. albania shocked early making a bit of history by scoring the fastest ever goal in the tournament�*s history, just 23 seconds into the game. the underdogs had only scored one major tournament goal before saturday. italy was quick to equalise ten minutes later and followed it up shortly after with a second goal.

the team is looking to defend its 2023 title. earlier on saturday, spain made its mark with an impressive 3—0 in berlin and switzerland beat hungary three—one in cologne. just want to leave you with these images from saudi arabia. this is from mina where thousands of muslims are taking part in the �*stoning of the devil�* ritual. the symbolic practice sees pilgrims cast stones at pillars. more than 1.5 million pilgrims from around the world have already amassed in and around mecca for the hajj. authorities expected the number to exceed 2 million this year. the temperatures have been around 46 degrees yesterday. there is more for you coming up shortly. stay with us here on bbc news. goodbye for now. hello. saturday brought more than ourfair share of heavy, thundery downpours.

for some of us on sunday, there probably won�*t be quite as many showers, particularly across england and wales, whereas for scotland and northern ireland, we�*ll see cloud and outbreaks of rain sinking southwards. on the earlier satellite picture from saturday, you can see clumps of cloud all rotating around the centre of an area of low pressure. this low still with us for sunday but loosening its grip a little bit, so the winds will be easing, especially down towards the south. some showery rain first thing across some central and eastern parts of england. that should clear. then, we will see some spells of sunshine, a scattering of showers, but not as many as we had during the first half of the weekend. conversely, for scotland and northern ireland, cloud will sink its way southwards with some outbreaks of showery rain. quite breezy across the western side of scotland, down into the north coast of northern ireland. lighter winds down towards the south. temperature—wise, well, 13, 1a degrees in the north of scotland, 19 or 20 in parts of south wales and southern england. now, as we head through sunday night, we�*ll see this band

of increasingly light and patchy rain sinking into northern england, parts of north wales. a lot of cloud filtering in to western scotland and northern ireland. that�*ll hold the temperatures up — 11 degrees there in belfast, a little bit chillier where we do see any lengthy, clear spells. we will see some spells of sunshine on monday — perhaps the best of those across parts of wales, the midlands, down towards the south of england. the channel islands could just see one or two showers, and then, we will see some showers breaking out once again through the day, always with a fair amount of cloud across the western side of scotland and northern ireland. temperatures north to south 13—21 degrees, so not far off the average for the time of year. this clump of showers likely to move across the channel islands, perhaps clipping into southeast england on tuesday. some showers popping up elsewhere. a decent amount of dry weather. temperatures still in that range between 12, 13 in the north, 21 degrees down towards the south of the uk. now, this ridge of high pressure is going to try to settle things down through the middle part of the week, but there�*s still a bit of uncertainty about how long it will hold on.

this frontal system trying to push in from the south, this one trying to push in from the west — either or both of those could bring the return of some rain later in the week. there are some tentative signs that things could turn a little bit warmer later next weekend.

this is bbc news. the headlines: world leaders agree a draft declaration, reaffiriming territorial integrity in ukraine at a summit focused on ending the conflict. the document will be signed on sunday by representatives of a hundred countries gathered in switzerland. russia was not invited and china is not participating. tens of thousands take to the streets in tel aviv, calling for the release of hostages from gaza. earlier, israel�*s prime minister vowed to continue the war after eight israeli soldiers were killed in southern gaza — the deadliest incident for the army since january. and china�*s premier is in australia, where he says ties between the two countries are "back on track". panda diplomacy was in full force earlier with a visit to adelaide zoo, the home of two chinese—born pandas, who�*ve lived in south australia for 15 years. now on bbc news, click:
