hello and welcome to the programme. the danish star footballer christian eriksen is in a stable condition in hospital after collapsing during his nation's european championship match against finland. the 29—year—old suddenly fell to the ground in front of his home supporters in copenhagen. the team's doctor says the midfielder received life—saving cardiac massage treatment on the pitch. the game was suspended, but later resumed at the request of both teams. nathalie pirks reports. it was a picture that gave hope to millions, christian eriksen leaving the pitch dazed but awake. it had seemed far more worrying. just before half—time without a player around him, he staggered to the ground and

collapsed. team—mates immediately recognised how serious this was. they formed a protective ring around him as medics rushed onto the pitch. but fans and players could only look on in horror as doctors attempted to resuscitate the midfielder. english referee anthony taylor swiftly suspended the match as fans of both denmark and finland chanted christian eriksen�*s name. in the bbc studio, former players struggled to contain their emotions. i players struggled to contain their emotions.— their emotions. i think football _ their emotions. i think football totally - their emotions. i think football totally goes . their emotions. i think i football totally goes out their emotions. i think - football totally goes out of the window right now, thinking about his family, all the rest of the players out there, witnessing it, as well. i got on my phone and messaged my mum and told her i love her, i think it's a reminder of how quickly life can change. that first five or _ quickly life can change. that first five or six _ quickly life can change. that first five or six minutes, - quickly life can change. that first five or six minutes, i'm| first five or six minutes, i'm telling — first five or six minutes, i'm telling you, man, horrible. fabrice_ telling you, man, horrible. fabrice muamba understands all too well what christian eriksen went through. in 2012 the

and then we must take care of everything else afterwards. right now, football is not important, but the players have talked with christian and they know he is well, and that gave them some comfort and they are now playing the game for him. christian eriksen! he is now stable in hospital. football so often divides but tonight a continent through a collective sigh of relief. world leaders at the g7 summit in britain have decided to launch a massive spending plan for infrastructure investment in developing countries, to counter china's growing global influence. however, details of how the g7 plan will be financed remain unclear. my colleague christian fraser is at the summit in cornwall. a very good evening from falmouth, where the sun has just gone down on day two of the summit. six hours of talks between the leaders, with the focus on future, pandemic preparedness, security and a particularfocus —

pushed by the americans — on how to contain and challenge china's growing influence in the developing world. the seven leaders are being asked to commit, to a project borisjohnson has dubbed the carbis bay declaration. that will be wrapped tomorrow. but his stand—off with the eu over trade in northern ireland post—brexit has overshadowed the conference. politico's chief brussels correspondent, david herszenhorn, gave me the details on that. there is this continuing disagreement where, from the eu side, they really think borisjohnson wants them to solve a problem he created. he pushed to undo the agreement they reached with theresa may, to put essentially a customs border in the middle of the irish sea. now that's coming back to haunt him. but everybody, really — because we've seen already unrest on the island of ireland — so the eu does have an obligation here because, of course, they too want to protect the good friday agreement, they are very heartened thatjoe biden is kind of on their side,

reminding boris johnson that if ireland is hurt in this process, he'll have a very hard time with this special relationship. but this is not done yet, it will continue for a while. 0n the wider issue of china — do the europeans see eye—to—eye with joe biden? they're much closer on china, and clearly we will hear some noise out of beijing after this communique. from all the reporting we've done, there will be tough language on tensions in the taiwan strait — there has never been a statement like that before by the g7, the last time they had a communique was one line on china. here, we expect a more robust section and something the chinese government will probably react to very strongly, not happy, saying the g7 is meddling and interfering in theiraffairs. in terms of the communique tomorrow, obviously we've been briefed some over the big headlines, first of all, do you think we will get a vaccine declaration from the europeans in terms of numbers they are prepared to donate, in terms of doses? we do believe that. they've already said 100 million, we think they are prepared to up that. emmanuel macron reacting

tojoe biden's announcement of a 500 million dose donation, saying, "if they are more ambitious, the eu should also be more ambitious." i think that's a sign — the big overarching message, of course, of this summit is, withjoe biden here, the alliance is back, the cooperation is back. they aren't worried, as with donald trump, somebody will leave this summit and suddenly blow up that communique as he did after quebec. so it's been two years, but even longer because emmanuel macron avoided doing the communique in france because he was worried donald trump was going to upend it. so here, finally they'll have a nice, robust communique, a joint statement on vaccines, on climate change, on china, on russia. we hear language coming on ethiopia, concern about what's happening in the tigre region — quite a lot of areas where they will show there is broad agreement amongst the seven wealthy democracies and how the world should be run. and just quickly to close, any sticking points? anything they've still got to iron out? the last piece i'm hearing is that, on the intellectual property issue — remember, joe biden surprised

the europeans by advocating for lifting patent protections for vaccines, and they pushed back hard, angela merkel in particular, saying that alone won't increase production quickly, which is what they need, and there's a risk of the western mrna technology — what's behind the pfizer and moderna vaccines — simply being transferred to a country like china that can make use of it rather than helping nations like africa that really need doses. so there's a little bit of wrestling at the end. the us seems to want to go fatherthere, saying, "lift those patent protections. " the dutch, the germans, and the french seem to be holding back, saying, "no, let'sjust say ip should not be an obstacle to vaccine equity." here in cornwall, a number of ngos are hoping to have their say on proceedings, including the urgency of tackling global poverty. ruth valerio is an environmentalist, theologian and director of global advocacy at disaster relief and development charity, tea rfund. she told me what she wants

the g7 leaders to conclude. we want to see 0.7| being put back again by the uk government. 0.7 gdp? 0.7 of gdp, which is our aid budget going toward some i of the poorest communities in the world. _ we know we've been hearing that, as that money is cut, l fewer girls are going - to school, more vaccines are sitting on shelves that aren't being delivered, . other health services. aren't able to happen. boris johnson wants to be seen as a global leader. l this is an absolutely crucial year for so many issues. i that won't happen if he's a man who breaks his promises — - above all, breaks his promises to some of the most _ marginalised communities in the world. _ but wouldn't he say, "when we made this commitment in the manifesto, we weren't facing a pandemic, we've ran up an awful amount of debt."

last week, british viewers would say we couldn't afford to put £10 billion into schools to help our students get up to speed. so should we be spending that sort of money on people overseas? well, yesterday, i heard i boris johnson talking very positively about our economy and about the economy - bouncing back. and the aid cuts have come at a time when others - are facing a double whammy of covid and climate. - so now is not the time for us to be turning our backs - on our global neighbours. there is also £450 million of new money, we are told, that's going towards children's education. is that outside the 0.5 that the international aid budget now is? well, it's "new money", but let's put that in - the context of the cut, j which is the equivalent of about £5 billion. so it might be a little .

bit of new money here, but then you've got a huge amount of aid cuts. - so it's a drop in the ocean and really doesn't mean anything. | ruth valerio there from tearfund. the leaders have been on the beach tonight for a barbecue and an informal get—together. around open campfires, they've had crab claws, lobster, scallops, also marshmallows and brandy butter, and they've been serenaded on the beach, as well. also over here in falmouth, chamber of commerce of cornwall, we've had our own sea platter, and we were also treated bythe bryher�*s boys, a falmouth band, to a sea shanty. # for leaders to meet wouldn't do them any harm # for leaders to talk wouldn't do them any harm # and we'll all hang on behind # and so g7 leaders agree a plan today # you're not in cornwalljust for a holiday # all of our grandkids will thank you all one day # and we'll all hang on behind

0h, a week in carbis bay wouldn't do them any harm a week in carbis bay wouldn't do them any harm # a cornish green tea wouldn't do them any harm # and we'll all hang on behind # and so g7 leaders agree a plan today # you're not in cornwalljust for a holiday # all of our grandkids will thank you all one day # and we'll all hang on behind at? a covid jab for all wouldn't do them any harm— for all wouldn't do them any harm... the dulcet tones of the bryher�*s boys. i don't know about the leaders, but we certainly enjoyed our time here in cornwall. it all comes to an end tomorrow — it is day three, the final day, and what we are looking out for, of course, is the result — the communique and the all the detail that's in it, the numbers, the financing,

and how, of course, the leaders got on. all those secrets will be revealed in the press conferences which start at 2pm local time, each leader going to their own press conference with their own national media. and of course, we'll bring you all the details of that and the reaction to it here on bbc news. there are more details on the g7 on our website. and you can have a look at what's on the agenda tomorrow, the final day. let s get some of the day's other news. artillery attacks on a hospital and residential area in the northern syrian city of afreen have killed at least 13 people and wounded dozens of others. the syrian 0bservatory for human rights said the dead included a doctor, three hospital staff, and two children. a sixth round of talks to resurrect the iran nuclear deal is under way in vienna. iranian officials met representatives from china, france, germany, the eu and britain, but will not
