most advanced economies will get under way here in cornwall. during their first face—to—face gathering since the coronavirus pandemic began, there's expected to be an agreement to provide a billion doses of covid vaccines to poorer nations, and of that, borisjohnson is pledging 100 million doses. the leaders will also focus on how to rebuild the global economy, and the challenge of tackling climate change. in a moment we'll take a closer look at the vaccine pledges, but first our diplomatic correspondent, james landale, examines what we can expect from this cornwall summit. all summits begin with ceremony, the pageantry that underpins the politics, and the g7 is no exception. but for the world leaders arriving in cornwall, they know this gathering is about policy as much as presentation, and for once, they could make a difference. we presentation, and for once, they

action on climate change. campaigners here are hoping the only hot air will be in their inflatable caricatures. forthis hot air will be in their inflatable caricatures. for this meeting is a milestone towards the big cop26 climate summit in the autumn, and new pledges to cut carbon emissions are expected. but will enough cash to be promised to help poorer countries adapt to climate change? it's a very special moment in history where we have to get investment of the right kind going to drive the recovery and the transformation we need of our economies for climate change. it's almost like at bretton woods after the second world war. if you put g7 i920 the second world war. if you put g7 1920 together, that's where we are. it's crucially important that we get strong decisions in the next few days. strong decisions in the next few da s. , ., ., days. then there is the task of re airin: days. then there is the task of repairing the _ days. then there is the task of repairing the world _ days. then there is the task of repairing the world economy l days. then there is the task of - repairing the world economy when the pandemic recedes. the g7 leaders are notjust promising more vaccines to poorer countries, they are also discussing how to recoverfrom poorer countries, they are also

discussing how to recover from the global downturn and make the world economy more resilient against future threats. diplomats here say that after the divisions of trump and covid, this summit is a chance for the world's democracies to show that multilateral cooperation can pay dividends. 0fficials talk of getting the gang back together again, but they know that what matters is not the reunion, but the results. james landale, bbc news, in cornwall. i'm joined now by our chief political correspondent adam fleming. face—to—face diplomacy is back, adam. they could have done this on zoom, but they are face—to—face. how important is it that they are talking together and having dinner together, maybe even having a drink together? together, maybe even having a drink touether? , , ., together? they will definitely do that, and they — together? they will definitely do that, and they are _ together? they will definitely do that, and they are also - together? they will definitely do that, and they are also going - together? they will definitely do that, and they are also going to| that, and they are also going to have toasted marshmallows over a fire on the beach tomorrow night with their rum. having everyone together raises the pressure and the stakes, which means it could raise the quality of the decision making, and it has provided a real deadline

for some decisions. look at that pledge on vaccines. the rich countries were always going to donate some spare vaccines to the poorer countries, but the fact that everyone has gathered here now means the decision on the timing was taken now. there will also be discussions this afternoon about getting more money for girls' education around the world. that will make a difference to lives around the world. but look at the other side of the coin. the first session today is going to be about building back betterfrom going to be about building back better from the pandemic, going to be about building back betterfrom the pandemic, but going to be about building back better from the pandemic, but it's going to be a very general discussion about lessons learned and green jobs. discussion about lessons learned and greenjobs. there is not going to be some giant cheque for x trillion dollars to be spent by these countries at the end of it. it also provides an amazing advert for the hosts. look at this cornish subsidiary of uk plc, on show to the world for the next four days. talking of closer to home, i think downing street will be pleased that that row with the eu over how the brexit deal is impairment in northern ireland is not dominating the start of this summit. however,

borisjohnson is going to have a number of one—to—one meetings with the eu leaders who are here, so that will start creeping up the agenda again in the coming days.- again in the coming days. adam flemin: , again in the coming days. adam fleming. our— again in the coming days. adam fleming, our chief _ again in the coming days. adam fleming, our chief political - fleming, our chief political correspondent. well, the g7 leaders here are expected to agree to donate at least a billion doses of vaccines to poorer countries in the next year. aid groups have welcomed the pledge, but point out that many of the doses will not arrive until next year and say more must be done right now to help inoculate people around the world who are at risk. sean dilley reports. britain's vaccination roll—out has been one of the success stories of a pandemic that has taken so much from so many. by the end ofjuly, the government says it expects all uk adults will have been offered the firstjab, and by the end of september, the uk will send its first 5 million doses to poorer countries. first 5 million doses to poorer countries-— first 5 million doses to poorer countries. , ., , , , , countries. the uk is really stepping u . countries. the uk is really stepping u- to the countries. the uk is really stepping up to the plate. _ countries. the uk is really stepping up to the plate, but _ countries. the uk is really stepping up to the plate, but so _ countries. the uk is really stepping up to the plate, but so is _ countries. the uk is really stepping i up to the plate, but so is everybody here at the g7. there is no point in

gotjoe biden, he is the new kid in town at the age of 78. and when he is saying to these other g7 nations, who were very uneasy during the trump years, guys, it's time to step up, he is confident that they will. 0ne up, he is confident that they will. one note of caution, and its politics. i had a senior official say to me, do you think the europeans are going to come forward with their pledges right now, which might look like a victory for boris johnson if he pulls off this huge vaccine coup, or will they wait until the g7 is over and givejoe biden the victory because of that debate over northern ireland? jan. debate over northern ireland? jon, thank ou debate over northern ireland? jon, thank you very _ debate over northern ireland? jon, thank you very much. jon sopel, our north american editor. let's just show you some pictures we have had in of the duchess of cambridge, who is withjill biden, the first lady, visiting a school here in cornwall.

and i'm pleased to say it's brightening up after misty start here in cornwall. the sun is coming up, showing off the glory of this part of the cornish coastline. that's all from here in cornwall for now — back to you in the studio, clive. there are just a few days now before the prime minister decides whether to go ahead with the final stage of relaxing coronavirus restrictions in england, as new evidence suggests the delta variant, first identified in india, is spreading rapidly. in the past week, there have been nearly 30,000 new cases, making up more than 90% of infections. here's our health correspondent, katherine da costa. early data from england and scotland suggests the delta variant this detected in india is not only more infectious, but those who catch it are twice as likely to need hospital treatment as those infected with alpha, which drove the winter surge. the figures show there have been

more than 42,000 cases of the delta variant in the uk up to the 7th of june. 223 patients have been admitted to hospital in england, more than half were unvaccinated. 42 people have died. of those, more than half were unvaccinated just over a quarter have received two doses. as more and more people are fully vaccinated, this proportion will continue to rise. the vaccine programme _ will continue to rise. the vaccine programme is — will continue to rise. the vaccine programme is moving _ will continue to rise. the vaccine programme is moving forward i will continue to rise. the vaccine - programme is moving forward rapidly and effectively, but it does need more time, particularly to immunise a large number of younger adults who are onlyjust being called forward for their first doses, as well as getting those older people through their second doses as well. despite several outbreaks _ their second doses as well. despite several outbreaks in _ their second doses as well. despite several outbreaks in areas - their second doses as well. despite several outbreaks in areas like - several outbreaks in areas like bolton and blackburn, infection rates remain low across the uk compared to earlier this year. the latest estimates from the office for national statistics suggest infections are rising in england, but it's a best less certain in

but since nonessential retail reopened on the 12th of april, sales of wedding rings have doubled. i've started to see a lot more engagements. so, for us particularly, i think because of the nature of the product, there's been a lot of missed celebrations and there's a sense of wanting to treat people and buy something special that will last. i think our store managers are describing it as christmas before the internet. it has been exceptionally busy, and we have been delighted with how trade has bounced back. personal services like hairdressing saw business jump by 64%, as long overdue hair cuts were once again legal. and pubs and cafes saw business rise by 39%, as they were allowed to serve customers outside. however, output in construction slowed down after rapid growth in march, and the production sector of the economy such as oil and manufacturing shrank in april. for now, the economy is still sustaining damage, having performed worse over the pandemic than any of the 20 most developed economies in the world.

i think the numbers clearly show that there is recovery, but i think it's a story of two sides. i think it's a recovery that's being driven by parts of the economy that have been insulated by the worst impacts of the pandemic. but others, those that have lost theirjobs, low pay, sme, are feeling a lot of pain. and so, i think as easing of some of the protections put in place, as those are rolled back in the autumn, a lot of people will be really hit. while there's now as much activity going on as there was last october before the renewed lockdowns, the economy remains 3.7% below its pre—pandemic level. the recovery should continue as hoped if consumers keep spending what they saved while the shops were shut. andy verity, bbc news. the time is 1.17. our top story this lunchtime. the g7 world leaders are in cornwall for their first face—to—face summit since the start of the coronavirus pandemic — they'll discuss

vaccinating the world, global economic recovery, and combating climate change. and still to come. a year later than planned, euro 2020 finally gets under way tonight. we'll be live at the england, wales and scotland camps ahead of the big kick—off. coming up in sport on the bbc news channel, chasing a record—extending 14th title at roland garros, rafa nadal prepares to face novak djokovic in the semifinals of the french open. a year later than planned, the european football championships finally get under way tonight. 24 countries will compete in 11 cities across the continent, and thousands of fans will be admitted to every game. in rome this evening, it's italy against turkey, and in the next coming days, three of the home nations will be in action — wales, england and scotland. adam wild has more details. amongst the home nations, there are those who can hardly wait, those who've had to wait far too long and those carrying, as always,

the weight of expectation. the tournament that kept football waiting is finally here. for scotland, arriving at their training base in darlington this week, the significance of their presence is not lost on anyone, their first major tournament this century evoking memories of campaigns past igniting hopes for the future. we've got a great group here. we've been unbeaten for a few games now, so i think we'll go to the tournament in high spirits and wanting to progress. the world cup back in 1998 was the last time scotland's men made one of football's big stages. since then, more than two decades of disappointment. they begin against czech republic on monday. if scotland's recent past is there to be overcome, for wales, it's there to be recreated. what a turn, what a goal! their adventures of the last euros was one of welsh football's greatest summers, carrying on all the way to the semifinals. 2021's group of players know there's a lot to live up to.

i have nothing but good memories of that tournament. i'm just excited to go at it again. there's that expectation that we've built for ourselves this time that we're expected to get some results. wales, for now, are based out in baku preparing for tomorrow's opener against switzerland, meaning most of their support can only watch from afar. i know everyone would like to be out here and it's disappointing, but they'll all be cheering from back home. i'm sure the ones that come will give us a great cheer. back home, england are readying themselves with an optimism befitting their potential. now�*s probably the best chance we've ever had to achieve something so big in a tournament. we definitely have a good enough team to go all the way in this tournament. crowd: # it's coming home, | it's coming home, it's coming! a european championship played at least in part on home shores will stir some powerful memories of 25 years ago.

euro �*96 — england and scotland famously met then. they'll do so again next week. england back then fell at the final hurdle, gareth southgate, now england manager, hoping to bring football home at last. wales are in group a along with italy, switzerland and turkey. england begin against croatia, with scotland and czech republic also in group d. the tournament is being played across europe, 11 host cities, culminating in a wembley final. a year later than planned, the wait, then, almost over. adam wild, bbc news. well, we've got correspondents travelling with all the home nations. in a moment we'll talk to natalie pirks at england's training camp at st george's park in staffordshire, jane dougall is with scotland team in darlington, but first lets go to baku in azerbaijan, where wales begin their campaign tomorrow, and hywel griffith is there.... last time around in 2016, wales got to the semis, are they dreaming

they'll get that far this time? yes. they'll get that far this time? yes, euro 2016 was _ they'll get that far this time? yes, euro 2016 was the _ they'll get that far this time? yes, euro 2016 was the high _ they'll get that far this time? yes euro 2016 was the high water mark of welsh football history. they went to france, exceeding expectation and lifted a nation. the players say it was the best summer of their lives but now the focus has to be on the first game tomorrow against switzerland in the olympic stadium. behind me. three points could be vitalfor making it behind me. three points could be vital for making it out of the group stage and into the knockout rounds. we've been watching them train, they looked happy and relaxed and the good news is the likes of gareth bale, aaron ramsey and joe allen look fit and well, a relief i'm sure to lots of welsh fans. azerbaijan is an humblest country, the welsh government and the football association of wales have asked fans not to come but 1800 have come here. if you ask them why, they say they know the risks and are fully prepared to self—isolate —— a few

hundred have come here. after switzerland, wales play next week and then italy. they hope to recreate the magicjourney from five years ago but what happens here tomorrow could be vital. natalie pirks is with the england team. england never quite deliver, how do you think the squad is feeling? they've been really calm. it is so calm here. the big difference from russia is the nation now expects a bit more. england could play six of seven matches at home at wembley, but they've got a bit of a rubbish record at the euros. no other major european nation has ever played as many games as england to never make the final. there's the small matter that they've never won an opening match at the euros in more than 50 years. this park that because just like in the world cup, this squad believes it can make its own

history. 0ver believes it can make its own history. over the youngest squad in russia, they are the third youngest here and seem to have carried that good feeling. they seem to enjoy each other�*s company and when they chat to they aren't shy in telling us they believe in each of the's ability to win. 17 of these players went in russia and since then, some really amazingly talented midfielders have come through. the big question is, how does gareth southgate make that balance? he going to make the starting line—up? any possible permutation is a compromise and it's calm but for how long? jane is with scotland at their camp in darlington. first time in 23 years scotland have got to a major international tournament and what a moment for the players. tournament and what a moment for the -la ers. ,, ., ., , tournament and what a moment for the laers.,, ., ., , , players. several of these players weren't even _ players. several of these players weren't even born _ players. several of these players weren't even born the _ players. several of these players weren't even born the last - players. several of these players weren't even born the last time | weren't even born the last time scotland went to a major tournament, that was in france 1998. such a great deal of positivity, don't

forget the quality of the players. ten are in the premier league, two have champions league medals so perhaps that's why there's a belief they can get out of the group stages for the first time in scotland's history. the sfa said that the squad would continue to take a stand against racism, that they wouldn't be taking a knee before their matches. scotland haven't knelt throughout the warm up matches but because it is a prevalent issue, andy robertson felt that he had to reiterate they had spoken together as a group and taking a stand was the best way for them to show their solidarity. we'll see that at scotland's first match against the czech republic which is on monday. today and yesterday, training has been about getting used to be windy facilities here in darlington. 0bviously facilities here in darlington. obviously in england not scotland. andy robertson presented every member of the squad with a big box of scottish goodies including
