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's 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, we appreciate it. president putin and i have been discussing various things and i think it's going very well. we've had some very, very good talks. we are going to have a talk now and obviously, that will continue.

and for his part, vladimir putin said, "i am delighted to be able to meet you personally, mr president, and hope, as you have said, our meeting will yield positive results". the meeting went on for nearly two hours longer than scheduled, and they onlyjust made it in time for tonight's concert. they discussed ukraine and continuing western sanctions, and syria, where it set they agreed on march. —— and syria, where it set they agreed on much. president trump raised russian interference in the us elections. mr putin denied this — an assurance, the russians say, was accepted by mr trump. the foreign minister sergei lavrov said president trump said he heard clear statements from putin that the allegations of meddling are not true and that russian authorities did not intervene, and he accepted these declarations. aside from translators, the only other person at the meeting was the us secretary

of state, rex tillerson. he briefed reporters afterwards, off camera, and said the talks had gone well. the two leaders, i would say, connected very quickly. there was a very clear, positive chemistry between the two. there were a lot of things in the past that both of us are unhappy about — we're unhappy, they're unhappy — but i think, and one of the reasons it took for a long time, —— but i think, and one of the reasons it took a long time, i think, is because once they met and got acquainted with one another fairly quickly, there was so much to talk about. earlier, there was the family photo, with president trump in the strange position of not being centrestage. but forget any headline of, "president marginalised" — it seemed there was no shortage of leaders wanting to bend his ear on two big topics — one trade, the other, climate change. i was clear to president trump at how disappointed the uk was that the united states have decided to pull out

of the paris agreement. and also clear that i hoped they would be able to find a way to come back into the paris agreement. i think that's important for us globally. is that possible? i believe it is possible. we're not renegotiating the paris agreement — that stays — but i want to see the united states looking for ways to rejoin it. this evening, the 20 world leaders had dinner together. the 620 has almost become a sideshow next to the main event — the first meeting between the leaders of russia and the united states. jon sopel, bbc news, hamburg. we can speak now to sohaib alagha, who's national chair of the syrian american council. hejoins me from san diego. thank you for speaking to us here on bbc world news. i wonder, thank you for speaking to us here on bbc world news. iwonder, did thank you for speaking to us here on bbc world news. i wonder, did this announcement of a ceasefire, how much of this give you? it's a small step, we hope, in the right direction but it isn't sufficient from our point of view. in e—motion

which reduces the amount of killing of civilians in syria is a welcome move. why do you say it is in the sufficient? it is limited to south—east syria in my understanding and privately serving the interests ofjordan and israel and i'm not sure if it is actually saving the interest of the syrian people, and we are worried more specifically as to who is going to enforce no—fly zone. if russia is going to be the enforcer of the no—fly zone, it will ultimately become a fox protecting the hen house. we hope the us or jordan will monitor and enforce any ceasefire in the area. and also, we are worried about south—east syria where a rainy and mercenaries and russian have increasing control,

essentially to allow hezbollah and -- iranian essentially to allow hezbollah and —— iranian mercenaries to be able to move away from western afghanistan to the mediterranean —— iranian. after building a land bridge between iran and the mediterranean and they are succeeding in those efforts. you've mentioned just some of the proxies then, operating within syria. i suppose a ceasefire like this is going to be dependent on getting the combatants on the ground to lay down their weapons. how can that happen? in south-east syria, that happen? in south-east syria, that can happen because the co m bata nts that can happen because the combatants are aligned withjordan. and ifjordan will enforce it, it may happen. the unknown is with the one mercenaries and hezbollah, complying, and who will enforce a ceasefire? past ceasefires have

failed to a large degree. and what happens quite often, what happened based on past history is that president asaad will use those as tactics to move his forces to another area and continue his campaign of trying to take over syria and reimposing the rennie on the syrian people. we thank you so much forjoining us on bbc world news. and we've more detail on the discussions at the 620 on our website, including this little comparison of the relative powers of presidents trump and putin. see that and much more at 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. a number of people were trapped for nearly two hours as the blaze spread through the 8—storey building in capital, san salvador. firefighters have now 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 maduro's

plan to rewrite the constitution goes ahead. he has called a vote for the end of the month to elect a new assembly to do thejob. the opposition has called its own vote two weeks earlier, hoping to show it has greater public support. bill hayton reports. 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 away powers from the opposition—controlled national assembly. that decision was reversed by the government, who wants a new constitution to neutralise the 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 constitutional violation

of a military socialist, marxist dictatorship. the opposition has good for a boycott of the constitution vote. instead, its called its own unofficial vote next week. translation: 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 ii—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 cannot breathe without a machine, cannot move, and has suffered what doctors say is catastrophic and irreversible brain damage.

his parents, connie and chris, have fought doctors for months. they have been in despair after four courtjudgements 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 whatsoever. and you know, we're not bad parents and we are there for him all the time, like, we're completely devoted to him. you know, he is not 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. it cannot move, c, cry, follow. he also has serious brain damage. doctors say nothing could help them. but his parents refuse to accept that. they have raised £i.3 but his parents refuse to accept that. they have raised £1.3 million for experimental treatment in the us, treatment. us at the hospital theyis us, treatment. us at the hospital they is futile. but now seven doctors from three countries said there is strong evidence in mice and patients that the therapy produces dramatic

clinical improvements, so reconsideration of treatment for charlie 6ard is respectfully advocated. they accept that the treatment is experimental and ideally should be tested in a mouse model. euthanasia is illegal, suicide is illegal. how is this legal? when there is a chance. all i want is to— three months and we will know in that time whether it will work or not. the rest potential for him to bea not. the rest potential for him to be a completely normal boy. we don't know because we don't know until we try. if significant the letter came from a hospital owned by the vatican, the pope had already offered to transfer charlie to roam 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, that has been the case for

the past 11 days since the european court of human rights, like all the uk courts, rejected the parents's arguments. but interventions by donald trump, the pope, and now this letter claiming new evidence means that doctors here don't feel they can proceed at present. charlie has a red genetic disorder of the mitochondria which causes muscle wasting. it is progressive and has devastating consequences. a serious mutation like this, the prognosis is poon mutation like this, the prognosis is poor. the mitochondria is applied energy really for every cell in the body so the heart, brain, they become blind, they have their muscle tone and it manifests early and the outcome is death in infancy. great ormond street hospital's position hasn't changed. but it is now asking the high court to assess the new evidence and make the final decision about charlie's future. stay with us on bbc news. still to come:

crunch time for the british & irish lions — can they claim their first series victory against new zealand since 1971? 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: violence and looting on the streets of hamburg as presidents trump and putin meet for the first time at the 620 summit. plenty of disagreement between the pairon plenty of disagreement between the pair on alleged election interference, but progress on syria with agreement on a new ceasefire. aid workers in france say they are increasingly concerned about hundreds of migrants camping near dunkirk as they try to make their way to britain. families including babies

and young children are living in makeshift shelters in the woods. president macron insists that a formal migrant centre won't reopen in the region. but with more people arriving each day, authorities are under growing pressure to act, as lucy williamson reports. scarlett has lived in france for all of her six weeks of life. she has never been inside a house, never slept in a crib. her only baths are in the nearby river. her parents and two sisters arrived here in the woods near dunkirk four months ago, after travelling overland from iraq. here, they said, you know, have a chance for the new families come here. nothing. this is very difficult for me. i'm just looking at the baby, my children, it's very... my heart is like this. because you're doing it for them? yes. despite the lack of any showers, toilets or running water, up to 50 young children

are thought to be living here with their families, along with hundreds of single young men. at dawn yesterday, police arrived and stripped the makeshift camp of all its tents and shelters. volunteers say one mother came back to find her few remaining belongings soaked through. the only thing she had left to start a fire was baby clothes. the police come in, completely unannounced, banging on tents and kicking people out. they drive everyone out into the rain and, erm, we've had an exodus of people, walking round the lake, just getting soaked. little kids and babies being carried in their parents' arms, just getting drenched. there are more than 300 people living here in these woods with more arriving every day. the local mayor has described the conditions as inhumane and says the area needs a formal migrant camp. but less than a year after the calaisjungle was closed, the french government is adamant it doesn't want another one.

france has struggled for decades to deal with the migrants converging here. last october, it cleared thousands of people from thejungle camp and police said yesterday's action in dunkirk was a routine attempt to prevent new camps springing up. sherwan has already taken his family through six different countries but wants his children to grow up in the uk, because he speaks english, likes the government, and believe that there, they will be given a home. british police have arrested a man in connection with the manchester arena bombing. the 19—year—old was detained at liverpool'sjohn lennon airport on suspicion of terror offences. he is the 23rd person to be held in suspicion of the attack held back in may which killed 22 people. meanwhile property in the

fallowfield area of manchester is being searched. a controversial art collection is soon to go on display at a museum in switzerland. around 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 uncovered 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 paintings 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. adolf hitler was a frustrated artist himself. but his tastes were traditional, to say the least. much of this work was considered degenerate. some of it was displayed in museums but huge 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.

at day five of wimbledon, the defending champion andy murray won a thrilling third—round contest against italy's fabio fognini. 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. i didn't feel like i moved as well today as i did in the first couple of matches, but we have a couple of days' break where i can work on that. and hopefully get myself in a good rhythm over the weekend and come out and play some good tennis on monday. but i am obviously happy to get through the first week and anything can happen from here. 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 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 that the all blacks 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? a reminder of our top story now. president trump and his russian counterpart by method and have met for the first time. 6etting together on the sidelines of the 620 summit in germany, the pair discussed moscow's alleged meddling in the us presidential elections, but agreed to focus on better tyres rather than disputing the past. mr trump said they had very good talks which would continue, they also agreed to support a ceasefire in south—west syria are gaining in the coming days. and you can get in touch with me and most of the team on twitter, i'm @duncan6olestani. stay with us on 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: anti—globalisation protesters trying to disrupt the 620 meeting have clashed with police as violence and looting continues for a second night. nearly 200 officers have been injured, one firing a warning shot when he came under attack. 6erman chancellor angela merkel has condemned the demonstrations. presidents trump and putin have agreed to a ceasefire in south—western syria,

due to come into force on sunday. the two presidents also discussed the alleged russian interference the us presidential election during their first face—to—face —— in the us presidential election during their first face—to—face meeting at the 620 summit in hamburg. venezuela's roman catholic church has criticised president nicolas maduro's decision to have the constitution rewritten. it said the plan will turn the country into a military dictatorship. officials on the inquiry into the 6renfell tower fire say they hope to hold the first public hearings in september.
