international pressure is growing on russia to abandon its support for syria's president assad in the wake of last week's chemical weapons attack on a rebel town. tonight western foreign ministers from the g7 group of industrialised nations have been meeting in northern italy to consider a co—ordinated response — which could include support for new sanctions on moscow and damascus. the us secretary of state, rex tillerson, said america would hold to account those who committed crimes against innocents anywhere in the world. from lucca — our diplomatic correspondent james robbins reports. contemplating italy's past glory and syria's present horror, borisjohnson and rex tillerson were turning up the international heat on president assad and his russian backers. this morning rex tillerson deliberately started his day

at a memorial to note the atrocity in 1944, the massacre of local villagers, and drew a direct parallel to the gas attack last week. we will rededicate ourselves to holding to account any and all who commit crimes against the innocents anywhere in the world. so when trump's foreign minister, who will speak to the russians week, sat down with the foreign secretary who cancelled his visit to moscow to be here instead, they talked of ways to win the widest possible international support against vladimir putin's path. immediately afterwards, or as johnson said he is pressing for sanctions against russia as well as syria. we will be discussing the possibility of further sanctions on some of the syrian military figures and on some of the russian military figures who have been involved in co—ordinating the syrian military efforts and of course who are thereby contaminated by the appalling behaviour of the assad regime.

the russians are mocking you for not going to moscow, rex tillerson apparently was happy for you to go, why did the prime minister ask you not to? i think it's very important in these circumstances for the world to present a united front and for there to be absolutely no ambiguity about the message and the message we are sending to the russians is very clear. do they want to stick with a toxic regime, do they want to be eternally associated with a guy who gasses his own people? or do they want to work with the americans and the rest of the g7 and like—minded countries for a new future for syria? but president assad's major backers of iran and russia have warned of the military retaliation if president trump repeat the cruise missile strikes of last friday, ordered the iranian president,

seen as a moderate, seems to contradict his own hard—liners today, saying change in the assad regime should go hand—in—hand with fighting his opponents. translation: terrorism in syria should be eradicated and some reforms should be implemented within syria are within the regime. this evening g7 ministers, all but one of them nato members as well, are starting to explore new pressures they could apply, knowing full well that russia has so far stuck firmly with president assad and his regime. the head of barclays is expected to be stripped of his million pound annual bonus for attempting to uncover the identity of a whistle—blower who'd raised concerns about a senior member of staff at the bank. jes staley has also been issued with a formal reprimand, and is subject to an investigation by the financial regulators. here's our economics editor kamal ahmed. whenjes staleyjoined barclays in 2015, he had a straightforward message — make the bank simpler

and more profitable. the board and shareholders were delighted when he appeared to achieve both in his first year. there was a third issue he wanted the tackle, one he outlined to me in his first broadcast interview. i do believe the banks lost their way, ten or 15 years ago, and we lost a lot of trust through the financial crisis. we have an obligation to return that. that obligation was undermined today after it was revealed the chief executive had tried, not once but twice, to find out the identity of a whistle—blower. injune last year, the board of barclays received an anonymous letter raising concerns about the recruitment of a senior employee by mr staley who had suffered personal problems in 2009 and 2010. jes staley found out about the letter, felt it was a malicious attack, and asked barclays' internal security to find the whistle—blower‘s identity but was told his request was not appropriate. the next month, after barclays

investigated the allegations and said they were without substance, mr staley tried again but failed to obtain the identity. barclays even approached us law enforcement agencies to help. the barclays board only became aware of jes staley‘s attempted intervention when it received a second whistle—blower letter earlier this year. it will now be for the regulators to decide — is this a yellow card offence, a warning for a stupid mistake or is it a straight red for a chief executive whose very temperament is now under scrutiny? in a statement, mr staley admitted he had made mistakes. the regulators could go as far as banning mr staley from working in banking — its ultimate sanction — as well as imposing fines.

whistle—blowing is about trust and part of that trust is protecting the identity of the whistle—blower and if you've got a senior person looking for the messenger rather than listening to the message, then there's a problem. mr staley has questions to answer. he was very close to the person he hired. did that cloud his judgment? his pay will be cut by how much? the man hired to reset barclays' position on trust knows his bank is back in the headlines for all the wrong reasons. kamal ahmed, bbc news. a brief look at some of the day's other other news stories. a drug called prep which dramatically reduces the chances of being infected by hiv is to be offered as a preventative medicine to nhs patients in scotland. it costs a50 pounds a month and isn't currently offered by the nhs england because of concerns about the cost — but medical trials are being conducted later this year. a londonderry teenager, who was shot dead by the army almost

45 years ago, was ‘totally innocent‘ and did not pose a threat to anyone, a coroner has said. 15—year—old manus deery was with a group of friends when he was shot by a soldier in 1972. the soldier has since died. the fashion chain, jaeger, has gone into administration, threatening 700 jobs. the brand was founded in 1884 and once dressed audrey hepburn and marilyn monroe — but has struggled on the increasingly competitive british high street. the business, which has 46 stores, had failed to find a buyer. the funeral of pc keith palmer, who was killed in last month's westminster attack, has been held at london's southwark cathedral. thousands of police officers from all over the country lined the route of the funeral cortege which set off from the palace of westminster. pc palmer, who was married with a five—year—old daughter, was guarding the houses

of parliament when he was stabbed by khalid masood. here's our home editor mark easton. at the gates of the palace of westminster, police constable keith palmer's coffin paused, at the very spot where he was killed 19 days ago. the place where, unarmed, he moved towards a man brandishing two knives, where he put himself in harm's way, to protect parliament to protect our democracy. police officers from every force in the country lined the route. thousands of men and women who did not know keith palmer, but know what it means to wear the badge. you never really know what you're going to face when you go out there. so it is with incredible bravery that he did that. i think it brings home what the job is about, the risks that you take. it shows what a family we are, really, that we all look out for one another and we all do the same thing at the end of the day.

the global police family came together in london today, including officers from new york's police department. we have had so much support from officers around the country, around the united states, as well as from other places in the world when we have had officers die in the line of duty, so we have feel a need to be supportive back. as the cortege headed across the river, police officers paid tribute in the air, on the water, and along the route. two of pc palmer's colleagues spoke of the friend they so admired. if you could paint a picture of a perfect policeman, you would be painting a picture of keith palmer. he sounds like a pretty extraordinary man. he was, he was so down—to—earth and so normal. he came to work because he had a family to support. he was a fantastic dad and a fantastic husband. and... he is going to be missed so much. as the coffin passed

through the capital, london stopped what it was doing to remember all those who lost their lives on that appalling day, pc palmer and the four men and women killed on westminster bridge. pc palmer symbolises the public service and sacrifice that underpins our society, the debt we owe to all those who put their lives on the line defending ourfreedoms. but he was also a husband, a father, a family man, and so today is about both national reflection and private grief. pc palmer's wife asked that the family's privacy be respected inside southwark cathedral. but the sound of the service was relayed to the streets outside. keith laid down his life for each one of us here. each one of you who have lined the streets and filled the bridges of this city today. in her first public engagement in her new role,

metropolitan police commissioner cressida dick honoured a fallen colleague. an amazing life. he was clearly very kind, very good—hearted, very hard—working, a very, very talented police officer. police constable keith palmer's name has been added to the national police roll of honour. the grief will lessen. his bravery will endure for generations to come. mark easton, bbc news, southwark. police in california say a teacher has been killed and two children wounded during a shooting in a primary school classroom. the gunman is also dead. police in the city of san berna rdino believe the teacher, a woman, was known to the gunman and say they're considering the incident as a murder—suicide. it's thought the two children, who are said to be critically injured, were not targeted by the killer. the american carrier, united airlines, has been heavily criticised after one

of its passengers was dragged off a flight in chicago. the airline had overbooked the plane, and when no—one volunteered to leave, they selected the man and his travelling companion, at random. when he refused to get off the flight, he was dragged down the aisle by security guards as our correspondent neda tawfik reports. these are the disturbing moments that have now travelled around the world. several smartphones record as three police hover over a man, forced to exit the aircraft. the situation quickly escalates, after one officer manhandles him out of his chair. oh, my god. all three officers then drag him bloodied and injured from the cabin. no, this is wrong. oh, my god. look at what you did to him! the incident began when united airlines asked for volunteers to give up their seats

for additional crew members. when none were found, they chose passengers at random, but this man refused. one passenger said he claimed to be a doctor who had patients he needed to see. good work, way to go. ten minutes later, in unexplained circumstances, the man, clearly sha ken, ru ns back on the plane. united airlines in a statement, said: that's what makes the world's leading airline. the airline has been criticised for its handling of the situation that some say clearly contrasts with its claim to fly the friendly skies. let's have a quick look at some of the front pages. the daily telegraph leads

with a message from president trump's son eric, saying his father's actions over syria, proves he's not in league with vladimir putin. the i also leads on the fallout from the suspected chemical weapons attack last week in syria, with a warning from the foreign secretary boris johnson that russia must ditch president assad. the financial times focuses on the potential sanctions for barclays ceo jes staley, following an on—going investigation into his conduct in a whistleblowing case. the guardian says a new hiv drug to be given to people in scotland free of charge, to protect them from infection, puts pressure on the nhs in england to roll out the drug too. the express also leads with a medical story, and the new pump that helps patients recover from severe disease without the need of a transplant. the mirror carries tributes to pc keith palmer,
