it was the meeting the world had waited for. butjust hours after donald trump and vladimir putin met face to face at the 620 summit in germany, the two sides can't quite agree on exactly what was said. the russians claim their denial of any interference in the us election was accepted by mr trump. but that's not how the americans see it. our north america editorjon sopel reports from hamburg. it is hard to overstate the significance of this meeting, this handshake. two men with nuclear arsenals who could blow the world to pieces. two self—proclaimed tough guys who like to win. but today at their first face—to—face meeting, they were the epitome of restraint and respect. thank you very much. president putin and i have been discussing various things and i think it is going very well. we've had some good talks.

we will have a talk now. obviously, that will continue. and for his part, vladimir putin said: "i am delighted to be able to meet you personally, mr president, and i hope, as you have said, the meeting will yield positive results." the meeting went on for nearly two hours longer than scheduled. they onlyjust made it in time for the concert tonight. they discussed ukraine and continuing western sanctions, and syria, where it is said they agreed on much. president trump raised russian interference in the american elections. mr putin denied this, an assurance, the russians say, was accepted by donald trump. sergey lavrov, the foreign minister, said "president trump said he heard clear statements from president putin the allegations of meddling are not true and the russian authorities did not intervene and he accepted these declarations." besides translators,

the only other person at the meeting was us secretary of state, rex tillerson. off—camera after the talks, he said they went well. the two leaders, i would say, connected very quickly. there was a very clear, positive chemistry between the two. there's a lot of things in the past both of us are unhappy about. we're unhappy, they're unhappy. but i think... and one of the reasons it took a long time is because once they met and got acquainted with one anotherfairly quickly, there was so much to talk about. earlier, there was the family photo, with president trump in the strange position of not being centre stage. but forget any headline of "president marginalised," there was no shortage of leaders wanting to bend his ear, on two big topics, trade and climate change. i was clear to president trump how disappointed the uk

was that the united states decided to pull out of the paris agreement. and also i was clear that i hope they find their way back into it. that is important. i believe it is possible. we are not renegotiating the paris agreement. that will stay. but i want to see the united states looking for a way to rejoin it. the 20 leaders had dinner together this evening. the 620 has almost become a sideshow next to the main event, the first meeting between the president of russia and the president of the united states of america. well, as we've been hearing, there's been a second night of violent unrest in hamburg, with thousands of riot police battling anti—capitalist protesters. almost 200 police officers are reported to have been injured, reinforcements have been drafted in and cars and lorries set on fire. 0ur berlin correspondent jenny hill reports. a city centre is now a battleground.

for 2a hours now, violence, chaos, fury, at donald trump, inequality, at the establishment. even the police here admit they do not have the resources to cope with this. not far from where we took these pictures, an officer fired a warning shot at protesters. protesters have been playing a game of cat and mouse with police. clashes like this have been breaking out all over the city all day in an unprecedented 2a hours of violence. hamburg is in lockdown. city stations deserted, everyone a suspect. tonight, the clashes, the riots, the violence continued. angela merkel chose liberal hamburg, the gateway to the world, for this summit.

it is a decision she may be regretting. we have more details on the discussions at the 620 on our website, including this little comparison of the relative powers of presidents trump and putin. you can see that and plenty more on the website, bbc.com./news. let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news: israel has strongly condemned unesco for passing a resolution brought by the palestinians to declare the old city of hebron a protected world heritage site. the prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, called the vote a "delusional decision." the palestinians had alleged that israel was carrying out violations in hebron where a small community ofjewish settlers lives in the middle of tens of thousands of palestinians. the four arab states leading a boycott against qatar have warned of new measures after doha rejected their demands.

in a joint statement they say qatar's refusal is proof it wants to destabilise security in the region. saudi arabia, the united arab emirates, egypt, and bahrain severed ties with qatar last month. at least two people have died after a fire broke out in el salvador‘s finance ministry. the number of people were trapped for nearly two hours as the blaze spread through the eight story building. in the capital san salvador, firefighters have brought it under control. local media reported that the fire may have been caused by an electric fault in the building's air conditioning system. in venezuela the roman catholic church has warned that the country will be turned into a military dictatorship if president nicolas maduro of that plan to rewrite the constitution goes ahead. he has

called a vote for the end of the month to elect a new assembly to the job. the opposition has called its own vote two weeks earlier, hoping to show it has greater public support. a citywide game of cat and mouse. venezuela's motorised security forces are ready to snuff out anti—government protest. in three months of unrest, at least 90 people have been killed. this crisis began when the government appointed supreme court took a weight powers from the opposition —— away powers from the opposition —— away powers from the opposition controlled national assembly. that decision was reversed by the government wants a new constitution to neutralise the assembly. now the catholic church hasjoined assembly. now the catholic church has joined the criticism. translation: the vote for this constitutional assembly scheduled for the end ofjuly will be imposed by force. its result will be the constitution eyes asian of a military socialist marxist dictatorship. —— constitutional violation. —— the opposition has

good for a boycott of the constitution vote. it has called its own answer to that —— unofficial vote next week. the reason for this project is to show the will of the people, that government supporters are not the majority, and to achieve something in the history of our republic. and that is peace through elections. but none of this has dissuaded president nicolas maduro. he wants every state owned business and government office to ensure that every employee votes in the official referendum. translation: look at the payroll! if there are 15,000 workers, all 15,000 must vote without any excuses. company by company, ministry by ministry, city hall by city hall. we are all going to vote for the constituent assembly. with the opposition boycotting the

vote, the president is likely to get his way. but that is unlikely to be the end of venezuela's crisis. the agonising legal battle over the future of the terminally ill british baby charlie 6ard has taken a new turn. the london hospital where charlie is being treated has applied for a fresh court hearing to assess new evidence about possible treatment for him. the courts had ruled that 11 month old charlie be allowed to die rather than receive experimental therapy. our medical correspondent fergus walsh reports. this little boy's life and whether it continues has become the focus of international attention. charlie 6ard's parents have campaigned to keep him alive. they've been in despair afterfour courtjudgments backed his doctors, who want to switch off his ventilator to end his suffering. you know, he's our own flesh and blood and we don't have a say in his life.

we are not bad parents and we are there for him all the time, completely devoted to him. he isn't in pain and suffering and i promise everyone, i would not sit there and watch my son in pain and suffer. i couldn't do it. the reality is, charlie is terminally ill. he can't move, see, cry, swallow. he also has serious brain damage and doctors say nothing can help him. but his parents refuse to accept that. they've raised £1.3 million for experimental treatment in the united states, treatment which doctors at the hospital say is futile. but now seven medical experts from rome, new york, cambridge and barcelona have intervened. in a letter to great ormond street hospital, they accept that the treatment: i don't understand it.

euthanasia's illegal. suicide's illegal. how is this legal, when there's a chance? all i want is two to three months. we will know in that time whether this is going to work or not. there is potentialfor him to be a completely normal boy, but we don't know, because you just don't know until you try. it is significant that the letter came from a hospital owned by the vatican. the pope had already offered to transfer charlie to rome, and president trump has tweeted he would be delighted to help the family. legally, there is nothing preventing great ormond street from withdrawing life support for charlie 6ard. that's been the case for the past 11 days, since the european court of human rights, like all the uk courts, rejected the parents' arguments. but interventions by donald trump, the pope, and now a letter claiming new evidence means that doctors here don't feel they can proceed at present. charlie has a rare genetic disorder

of the mitochondria, which causes muscle wasting. it is progressive and has devastating consequences. with a serious mutation like this, the prognosis is very poor. the mitochondria supply the energy, really, for every cell in the body, so the heart, brain, they become blind and they have no muscle tone. it manifests very early and the outcome is death in infancy. great ormond street hospital's position has not changed. but it's now asking the high court to assess the new evidence and make the final decision about charlie's future. it is about doing the right thing, don't get me wrong. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: preparations for a controversial exhibition in switzerland that could include works looted by the nazis. central london has been rocked

by a series of terrorist attacks. police say there have been many casualties, and there is growing speculation that al-qaeda was responsible. 6ermany we will host the 2006 world cup. they pipped south africa by a single vote. in south africa, the possibility of losing hadn't even been contemplated, and celebration parties planned in all the big cities were cancelled. the man entered the palace through a downstairs window and made his way to the queen's private bedroom. then he asked her for a cigarette, and on the pretext of arranging for some to be brought, she summoned a footman on duty, who took the man away. one child, one teacher, one book, and one pen, can change the world. education is the only solution. this is bbc news.

the latest headlines: presidents trump and putin make progress in their first face to face meeting at the 620 summit anti globalisation protestors trying to disrupt the 620 meeting clash with police on the streets of hamburg. the two leaders agreed on a ceasefire in syria to come into force on sunday. iamjoined by i am joined by david, an international lawyer, to discuss the ceasefire. thank you forjoining us on bbc world news. another announcement on another ceasefire. how much hope on this one? we have to wait and see. any ceasefire that results in a decline in the violence

isa results in a decline in the violence is a good thing. it is possible in the short—term this will stop the violence. in the long—term, there are red flags. each of the previous ceasefi res have are red flags. each of the previous ceasefires have failed, partly because russia and the bashar al—assad regime have actually used the ceasefires to consolidate gains and engaging new violence. this happens in a complicated area of the battlefield, south—western syria. there have been a number of different things happening in that area, especially along the border with israel. the us has entered into a new agreement with russia with respect to this area. it is worth noting also most of this area is actually controlled by us backed rebels and forces. it is curious we are now inviting russia in the actually police the ceasefire, which is what the news suggests. the ceasefire also starts in a short

amount of time, sunday, noon, local time. some of the details have not even been worked out yet. these are dubious and curious facts about the ceasefire. it seems to have been rushed into. it is not at all clear there are agreements in place to make it work when others have not worked. yes, we have been told this has been months in the making. do you think this was designed to have a big announcement so the 620, some details on monitoring and enforcement, have not been worked out? correct. it seems they rushed to this conclusion so they would have something to announce, something productive to discuss coming out of the historic meeting between donald trump and president putin today. the evidence of that, as you said, some of those details have not been worked out yet. that gives me concern. it also concerns me that overall a larger deal with russia and bashar al—assad has not

been worked out on the future of syria. really, the us and russia should not engage in any agreement until they have some common understanding of what is going to happen ultimately in syria. that is going to require bashar al—assad stepping down, not right away, but he must, for there to be peace in syria. right now, it does not seem that russia is interested in that. russia has made no compromise on that. russia will have to put pressure on the shallow sad for him to even step down the pipe thank you. —— bashar al—assad. to even step down the pipe thank you. —— basharal—assad. —— down. a controversial art collection is soon to go on display at a museum in switzerland. around a 150 drawings, lithographs, and paintings have arrived at the bern museum of fine arts. they belonged to a german collector, and there are questions over whether some of the work may have been looted by the nazis. the bbc‘s tim allman reports. opening the door on the past.

works of art hidden away for decades which can now be seen for the first time. according to officials, this work was all acquired legally, confiscated from german museums by the nazis. this treasure trove was only covered in 2012, an almost unprecedented find. this exhibition and this whole case is not about art history alone, this is always and forever about history and modern history in the 20th century and post—war history, war history. the owner of these p(aintings had kept them hidden away after inheriting them from his father, but not all the material has been maintained in prime condition. we have mould problems, we have to check precisely so that is our first thing. we really have to look closely at the works, and the second part is to do restoration work. adolph hitler was a frustrated artist himself. but his tastes were traditional,

to say hte least. much of his work was considered degenerate. some of it was displayed in museums but uge amounts were destroyed, burnt, along with so—called subversive books in giant bonfires. this is just part of a greater collection of some 1500 works of art. researchers are trying to discover if any of them were looted and if so could they now be returned to the families of the original owners. tim allman, bbc news. it's been day five at wimbledon, and the defending champion, andy murray, has won a thrilling third—round contest against italy's fabio fognini. in a dramatic two hours and 39 minutes on centre court, murray saved five set points in the fourth set, before eventually winning it to tie—up the match. the world number one has made it to the second week at wimbledon for the tenth year in a row.

it's crunch time for the british and irish lions, who face the all blacks in the third and final test in auckland in a few hours' time. if they win, it will be the lions' first series victory against new zealand since 1971. as katie 6ornall reports from auckland, there's a lot at stake. 3, 2, 1 —go! (screams). to win a series in new zealand, you need to be bold, you need to be brave, and you need to step out of your comfort zone. going for a lions victory this weekend? yeah, absolutely, if i can do that, they can win it. last week in wellington, the british and irish lions came from behind to level the series. it was the first time new zealand had been beaten at home in eight years. and yet the man at the centre of their triumph told me there was more to come.

what is it, do you think, about this group that has led them to defy expectations in this way? belief. people might not see it from the outside, because they don't see what's going on within our camp. but anyone who is involved with us would have thought the same. we always thought we had a great squad which could take us potentially to a series win. their reward for the victory last week was a trip to the south island and a few days off in queenstown, enjoying all it has to offer. the coaches took the same approach on the past two tours, of south africa and australia. both times, they went on to win the third test. eden park is where teams usually come to lose, but the lions' victory in wellington last week has changed the complexion of this third and final test. arguably, it's the all blacks are under more pressure. i have read a lot of stories this week, which you would think that the all black have never lost a game and that the sky is falling in. every week there is pressure. i have said this before, we are expected to win every test match, and expected win well. saturday will also be a chance for sam warburton to take care of unfinished business.

four years ago in australia, he was injured for the lion's series—clinching win in the third test. i have set my sights on this tour, i have wanted to be able to be in the test team and to play in the last game. it feels like all of those years of sacrifice, all the little things i have done, have all come to this moment, really. new zealand's americas cup victory means there is already a party atmosphere here, but could the lions be about to make history and paint the town red? katie 6ornall, bbc news, auckland. a six—year—old british boy, bradley lowry, who won the hearts of people around the world in his fight against cancer, has died. bradley lowery achieved a great deal in his short life. often at his side in those special moments was sunderland striker jermain defoe. each described the other as best friends. bradley loved sunderland and the club and especially jermain defoe loved him back.

it's been hard. i've just kept this in for so long. the footballer broke down yesterday at his new club bournemouth when asked about the little boy he called brads. from sort of, like, the first moment i met him, i just couldn't believe that he was the young kid that was ill. because he sort of run over to me. and i think, from that moment, he wasjust, like, just that instant connection. i was with him a few days ago and it was tough to see him suffer like that. he will always be in my heart. you know, for the rest of my life. because his love's genuine and i can see it in his eyes when he looks at me. bradley had neuroblastoma, a rare type of cancer that mostly affects young children. please sponsor me. get me better. but it didn't stop him achieving his dreams, like scoring a goal for sunderland, against chelsea's keeper. it was even voted match of the day's goal of the month. because it's joint goal of the month, we've put the graphics on it.

he gives asmir begovic the eyes. begovic goes that way and bradley goes straight down the middle. and his last birthday party was a big one. ijust see him as my little boy. i'm bias so i think he's special. but maybe because he's smiley and he's got a fantastic personality. and everyone just kind of took to him. in recent days, as his condition got worse, his mum posted this picture of bradley and his big brother. this afternoon his parents announced he had died. calling him "their little superhero." they said, "sleep tight, baby boy, and fly high with them angels." bradley lowery, the little boy whose football club took him to their heart. danny savage, bbc news. a very sad story. and you can get in touch with me and most of the team on twitter, i'm @duncan6olestani. this is bbc world news.

good morning. we may only be early on in summer, but on friday we saw the seventh occasion already where we saw temperatures beat 30 degrees. that was at london heathrow airport. at the same time it was only 16 celsius in glasgow. a big contrast temperature wise north to south and those contrasts continue this morning. a fresh but sunny start in parts of scotland, northern ireland, northern england. still pretty muggy further south, with temperatures still about 18—19. but more cloud compared to friday in southern counties. sunshine here and there, but the cloud thick enough to produce a few spots of rain, a few passing showers. misty towards the coast of devon, cornwall and wales. further north the well broken cloud to start the day. yes, a bit on a fresh side. what with light winds and sunshine it will soon warm up for much of scotland, northern ireland and northern england. early sunshine, though, in the hebrides — doesn't

last too long. the cloud thickens and we have outbreaks of rain developing widely through the rest of the day. holding onto plenty of cloud in southern counties compared to what we had on friday. still the chance of the few passing showers. most will be dry and temperatures down on the 30 we saw on friday but still the mid—20s possible and in the sunshine further north feeling warmer than on friday. it does look like largely dry but cloudy at wimbledon for saturday. only the small chance of a shower. sunday, the chance of a shower later and monday staying largely dry. but the next few days it will be a close call and into saturday night the cloud could produce the odd spot of rain. wet conditions in scotland and northern ireland and windy. that works its way southwards into sunday. the weather fronts grinding to a halt in southern scotland and northern ireland and it's here on sunday where we start with temperatures a bit higher than they were on saturday morning, but plenty of cloud around. still a muggy start further south. misty around southern and western coasts. that cloud breaks up and we have sunny spells coming through. a couple of showers later on.

the odd rumble of thunder with those. southern scotland, northern ireland, cloudy and damp and compared to england and wales it will be cooler. temperatures in the mid—teens at the very best. through sunday night and into monday that weather system gradually pushes eastwards and itjust holds onto a lot of cloud. developing low pressure around it. it does mean monday will be a story of some sunny spells, but just about anywhere could see showers. some of those on the heavy and thundery side and temperatures, high teens, low 20s at best. this is bbc news, the headlines: presidents trump and putin have discussed the alleged russian interference the us presidential election, during theirfirst face—to—face meeting at the 620 summit, in hamburg. the talks were described as robust and ended with agreement on a ceasefire in southwestern syria — due to come into force on sunday. anti—globalisation protestors trying to disrupt the 620 meeting have clashed with police as violence
