a comp on at colombian military base. the government claims a rebel group for the attack. and celebration had diamond russia in south africa perspectives arrive in the thousands hoping to strike it rich ah, restart in geneva, where both us president joe biden and his russian counterpart vladimir putin have described their 1st face to face talks as constructive and pragmatic on the agenda finding common ground on a raft of issues from security to human rights. there was agreement to resume talks on arms control and to return ambassadors to each other's capitals, after they were withdrawn earlier this year. they committed to further discussions on cybersecurity with biden identifying key infrastructure that should be off limits to attacks. this was something that bruton agreed to in principle,

but the biggest gap remained in the area of human rights. huge and dismissed concerns over the welfare of jail. the physician figure alex and of only the us president said they would be devastating consequences isn't val neat, died in prison, but ever all. and he just struck a respectful tone just about the reports from geneva. an elegant 18th century villa overlooking lake geneva was the setting for the high stakes meeting. russian leader vladimir putin arrived 1st. he was greeted by the swift president who then welcome joe biden. the 2 men looked 10th as they stood for their 1st official photo handshake. bailey broke the ice relations between washington and moscow. at the lowest point in decades, the face to face talks were aimed at improving them. as i said outside, i was always better off to several hours behind closed doors. there was some agreements pledges to repose them, buses extend an arms control treaty,

and disgust. cybersecurity both said the meeting was positive, but there was little progress on other issues including the conflict ukraine and human rights. putin dismiss biden's concerns about the leg siena volley calling the rush opposition leader, a law breaker. ignoring the rules of law, this person went abroad for medical treatment. he arrived back in russia deliberately trying to be arrested. he knew what he wanted to fight and was clearly unimpressed by putin's attempt to compare russia, treatment of opposition activists to the u. s. capital right. i response is kind of when i communicated that i think that's that's ridiculous comparison. it's one thing for literally criminals to break through court and go into the capital, kill a police officer and be held accountable. and that is for people object eating, marching on a capital. one said you are not allowing me to speak freely. there were no major

breakthroughs in this summit and clearly little common ground to put the return of us from russian on buses to that is clearly a step to reopening communication between moscow and washington. the boot in this was a moment back on the world stage, likely to play out well is home for fight, and it was an opportunity to put down red line and distance himself from his predecessor donald trump's approach. often accused of being soft on russia. why didn't may be closer to the more stable relationship? he said he was with moscow, but he's still unlikely to be a predictable one. natasha butler just sarah geneva. the summit was the final stop by the 1st overseas trip as president, the diplomatic tour of europe. so the u. s. lead to tackle code 19 and climate change as a g 7 summit in the u. k. before reestablishing relations with nato out there is to promote to get to james bay's report from number

the. from the moment he touched down in the u. k, on this, his 1st international trip president biden was laying out his central message. we're going to make it clear that united states is back. and democracies of the world are standing together to tackle the toughest challenges and the issues that matter most to our future. that were committed, the lady was strength, defending our values and delivery for our people. at the g 7 meeting in carmel, a range of issues were discussed from cobit 19 to climate change. but what was most noticeable was the tone after 4 years of tweets and tantrums, in brussels, at nato, and that the you, other nations were appreciative. they no longer had to 2nd guess what their most powerful ally would do next. when mr. president please,

to western europe in brussels. you have back in a very much on the global, seen the scenes of unity a so very different from the trump era would have been watched very closely in moscow and beijing. no one has gotten more satisfaction out of all the disharmony that donald trump has sold in the united states than the leaders of russia and china. so i think that they kind of view this as a, as a precarious point. they do need to be mindful about kind of democratic regimes standing up to some of their kind of increasingly authoritarian impulses if president putin is. and he wasn't showing it when he met the u. s. leader for nearly 4 hours of talks. there were no concrete outcomes from both sides, said was a constructive meeting, just a commitment to try and work together in the future. among the u. s. is closest

allies here in the u. k. and in europe, there's a real sense of relief. after the trump is, does now predictability and stability in the trans atlantic alliance. of course, there are differences among the allies about how to deal with russia and china. but those differences will now be dealt with diplomatically and away from the cameras. james bay's ouch is era london. ah, you ins extra general has called on both israelis and palestinians to respect last month ceasefire after israel launched as strikes in the early hours of wednesday and gaza. the secretary general expresses concern over the most recent round of violence and calls for the full respect of the cease fire agreed on the 20th of may . he would like to see the cessation of hostilities be maintained and solidified in

ago after the recent war and already prior to fire that has been already violated. israeli military set the these strikes have come in recall to the in gary balloon that thomas had blanched yesterday from the gaza strip. also in response to the flag march that was taking place in jerusalem. that was provoking a flag more to palestinians yesterday. also according to how much officials and israeli media should mediators had very much pressured to restrain the flag march. and it was up to only the ensuing jerry balloons and the confusion activities that took place across the borders of the gods district yesterday. a combo mer to columbia mitchell base is injured. 36 people including 2 soldiers who are in critical condition, 11

what happened. we also know that at least one colombian soldiers, that is in serious condition in an intensive care unit at this time, then that at 211, a us military personnel who were at the base were also likely injured. and finally out there it is. are saying that all indications at this point, the ard that so the e, l. n. national liberation army, the largest, the remaining rebels group in the country might be behind this attack. and what do we know about the area where the space is located in a central the city of cuckoo, right on the border with the venezuela and is the capital region called north for the sub there, which has always been at the center of columbia and internal conflict and it's one of the regents in particular, north of coke with an area called cut that to me. but that has really not seen any
