welcome to bbc news, i'm reged ahmad. our top stories. shock as denmark's christian eriksen collapses on the pitch at the european football championship. leaders at the g7 summit agree on a huge spending plan to counter the influence of china, but it's not clear how it'll be financed. hello and welcome. 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. here's the danish fa's director peter moller. translation: we saw i christian eriksen collapse, and he received help and cpr on the pitch. then christian was awake at the time. he is at the hospital right now for further examination, where we are also in contact with him. the players have contacted christian, he's well. it is sad news, but in this game, fortunately, christian is doing well and the players are playing this match for him. he is well, and that is what we are thinking about, and our thoughts, of course, are with christian's parents and family. because christian is well, it was important for them to know that that he is awake. he got help quickly from our doctors and the rest of the staff who helped and saved him. the players have been reassured that christian is well, and that was important to them.

there's no doubt that the players are playing on adrenaline, and 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. day two of the g7 summit has played out with plenty of colour. leaders have reached a broad consensus on a plan to finance infrastructure projects in the developing world to counter china's influence. it's meant be an alternative to the belt and road initiative, but we're still waiting on the details. tanya dendrinos reports. speed, agility and precision — the red arrows soaring over cornwall. a breathtaking display of unity and teamwork, that these leaders it seems are working hard to replicate. covid—19, we have to face a lot of changes, a lot of crisis, climate change,

and for all these issues what we need is co—operation. and i think it's great to have the us president as part of this club, and very willing to co—operate. the us is back. we feel very, very strong about cohesion with nato. i, for one, think the european union is an incredibly strong and vibrant entity that has a lot to do with the ability of western europe to not only handle this economic issue, but provide the backbone and the support for nato. behind closed doors, bilateral discussions, getting to the crux of why the g7 leaders are gathered. a key item on the agenda, the us—backed build back better world plan, a rival to china's belt and road initiative which has seen billions of dollars poured into developing countries.

the promise from the world's seven wealthiest democracies, a partnership to help meet the tremendous infrastructure need in low and middle—income countries, a clear challenge to beijing. there will be tough language on tensions in the taiwan strait, there has never been a statement like that before from the g7. last time there was a communique, it was one line on china. here, we expect a more robust section, that the chinese government will probably react to very strongly, not happy, saying the g7 is meddling, interfering in their affairs. how the plan will be financed remains to be seen. the world now waiting for detail, with more expecting to be delivered in the communique on sunday afternoon. but of course it wasn't just about business. there was also a chance to schmooze on the sand, another family photo for the collection. and, to end day two, a beach party. angela merkel with a cheeky peek at the smoked fish on the barbecue, and borisjohnson with a beer in hand, making the most

of something not typically british — fair weather. brazil's president has been fined for ignoring coronavirus rules in sao paulo by failing to wear a face mask and urging crowds to gather. speaking to supporters during the accelerate for christ motorbike event on saturday, jair bolsonaro renewed his attack on people who wear masks. the president also repeated false claims that drugs like hydroxychloroquine work against covid—19, even though studies have shown them to be ineffective. brazil has one of the highest mortality rates from coronavirus. you're watching bbc news. borisjohnson has told the bbc there are grounds for caution ahead of a final decision, on monday, about the lifting of all remaining covid restrictions in england. increasing concern about the spread of the delta variant which first emerged in india has led to speculation of a delay of up to four weeks.

here's our political editor, laura kuenssberg. inside the fence, the prime minister and his counterparts want to work out how to move on from covid. but it's still a clear threat outside the gates. the virus is growing again. the prime minister's hopes of lifting all limits on our lives in a week are burning under the bright sun. today, borisjohnson was not denying that there will be a delay. can you level with people today and confirm that the restrictions are not all going to be lifted on 21 june? what i can certainly say is that we are looking at the data and will continue to do that, and we'll say more on monday when the decision comes due. but i think what you can certainly take, laura, is that the roadmap is always cautious but irreversible, and in order to have an irreversible roadmap, you've got to be cautious. if your priority is not having to go back on any of it,

then waiting is the right thing to do, you're suggesting? of course, you're right that you've got to be cautious in order to deliver what we want to see, which is an irreversible roadmap, but we are looking at the data today that — again, you've got hospitalisations up, you've got cases up, there are grounds for caution. it doesn't mean that this country hasn't made enormous progress with vaccination. clearly what you've got is a race between the vaccines and the virus, and the vaccines are going to win, it isjust a question of pace. do you regret allowing tens of thousands of people to travel between the uk and india, where the delta variant developed, in the month of april — you must regret that? don't forget that we put india on the red list... very late on. on 23 april, before the variant had even been identified as a variant under investigation, let alone

as a variant of concern. big decisions loom at home, but there was full force schmooze tonight, with a world leaders family barbecue on the beach. a beer and a pint for the french premiere and the prime minister, even though in the day, european leaders had emphasised their distaste at how they believed the uk is not sticking to the brexit deal when it comes to northern ireland. angela merkel looked to be happily inspecting the mackerel, but the uk side reckon it is brussels that's over the top. to be fair, there is quite a lot of misunderstanding around the eu about the situation in northern ireland, and i think that we will have some pragmatic solutions, and if we don't, it is the prime duty of the uk government to uphold the territorial integrity of the united kingdom. and that is what we're going to do. and we will do whatever it takes to ensure that.

but look — the uk left almost nothing to chance, in the meticulous choreography of this summit. forget the queen or the red carpets — a stunning fly—by of the red arrows. the prime minister wants nothing less than a new formation of the world's democracies. the commitment to that from those here seems real, but the intricate ins and outs of different national agendas doesn't fit easily into one line. one big ambition, but there are many pilots, and a pattern we can't predict. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, cornwall. 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 observatory 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 hold face to face talks with the united states. the european union called the discussions intense. algerians have largely shunned a parliamentary election denounced by opponents of the government as a charade. after polls closed, the election authority said less than a third of people entitled to vote, actually showed up to cast their ballot. the copa america football tournament has suffered another setback after 12 members of the venezuela squad tested positive for covid—i9. they were due to play the opening match against the hosts brazil on sunday. the health authorities did not specify how many of those affected were players. the united nations human rights chief michelle bachelet is warning of a military build—up and rising violence in myanmar. sweeping arrests of activists, journalists and opponents

of the military continue, and the un say they are deeply troubled by reports of detainees being tortured. there are growing concerns for an environment activist, who was arrested early this week by security forces. the family has told the bbc they fear he will not come home. rebecca henschke reports. this is the last image of mansa. witnesses say security forces shot him while he was riding his motorbike onjune 8th and then took him away. he was a well—known local land rights activist, having led protests against a controversial large—scale copper mine. and in recent weeks had helped organise protests against the military coup. now his family fears for his safety. translation: i see on social media that they are arresting | people who are healthy and then later returning their bodies. so i'm worried for my son's life. i like to plead with

them not to torture my son, and release him. since the coup on february 1st, at least 20 people are known to have died in custody, according to rights groups who are keeping a toll. his family has had no information about where he's being held, and the military has not responded to the bbc�*s requests for information. translation: he's a good boy who looks out for his parents. i we are now in a difficult situation, but i know this is the nature of the revolution and we have to face it. i have been a political prisoner many times. more than 800 people have been killed by security forces since the military took power. the united nations rights body now warning of a further escalation in violence and a deepening humanitarian crisis. despite the brutal ongoing

crackdown, a nationwide movement demanding a return to democracy continues. rebecca henschke, bbc news. five teenagers have been arrested on suspicion of murder after a man was found dead in newport. the 26—year—old man, named locally as ryan o'connor, was attacked on thursday evening. three men from cardiff, aged 18 and i9, and two 17—year—old boys from cardiff and caerphilly are in custody and police remain on the scene. the parents of a northamptonshire teenager, harry dunn, who died in a fatal crash involving the wife of a us intelligence officer, have welcomed an indication that she may face a virtual trial in the united states. after the crash in 2019, anne sacoolas flew to the us, claiming diplomatic immunity. the crown prosecution service has been cleared to engage with mrs sacoolas' lawyers to determine the next steps. harry dunn's parents described it as a "huge development". thousands of people have taken part in a march in canada

to honour the four members of a muslim family who were killed in a truck attack last week. the prime minister justin trudeau said it was a terrorist attack motivated by hatred. a man has been charged with multiple counts of murder following the incident in ontario. mahn al—yasiri reports. after tragedy, solidarity. with placards trumpeting love and acceptance over hate and division, thousands of canadians turned out to march in support of a muslim family who died when they were struck by a pick—up truck last sunday. police have described the incident as a hate crime. talat afzaal, salman afzaal, madiha salman and yumna afzaal — a family spanning three generations — died while enjoying an evening walk near their home in london, ontario. a nine—year—old boy — fayez, the fifth victim — is the only survivor. among those marching in their memory, a mix

of people from all faiths and backgrounds. it feels really good that people support us. you feels so empowered, you feel so united, it's an insane feeling. you forget how, like, good humans are. prime ministerjustin trudeau has described the incident as terrorism and vowed to clamp down on extremist groups and online hate. this is alarming for the whole . community, regardless if you're the muslim or the christian, or the jew or— the hindu, everyone. it can happen - with any community. a 20—year—old man, nathaniel veltman, is due to appear in court on monday, charged with four counts of first—degree murder and one of attempted murder. maan al—yasiri, bbc news. this is bbc news, the headlines. shock as denmark's christian eriksen collapses on the pitch at the european football

championship. the danish football association says he is recovering in hospital. at the end of the second day of the g7 summit, leaders agree on a huge spending plan to counter the influence of china. let's stay with the g7 now, and the proposed developing nation infrastructure plan put forward there. sara hsu is a visiting scholar at fudan university and expert on chinese economic development. i asked her if g7 nations need to counter china's increasing investment in developing nations. i think to some extent the us and other nations believes that it needs to. i think there are many issues it does need to work with china on. but in terms of developing infrastructure, it generally benefits the rest of the world to have us and g7 countries working on this, in addition to china. essentially, listening to whatjoe biden has been saying about this,

there is a sense that perhaps china's approach to developing nations has been political, and the intentions are not pure. why is china in these countries building railways, building infrastructure? i think the most credible story is that china had a lot of excess capacity in its construction firms in about 2013, when it started the belt and road project. this excess capacity was exported to the rest of the world in order to generate revenue for china, and their construction firms. and also to build trade ties with the rest of the world. there have been some concerns about transparency in these projects, whether they have been given sufficient due diligence or not, which is hard to tell, particularly because china approves so many of these projects annually. but it has been quite helpful to many countries,

it has built a lot of bridges and highways and ports and so on. it will be interesting to see how the g7 countries step up to the challenge. it's interesting, the criticism of china, that in return for building this infrastructure, it's saddling these countries with debt. but that has also been the approach of the west in terms of giving loans to developing nations, hasn't it? right, and that theory has also been debunked by people who have found that actually china is more than willing to renegotiate terms on loans with indebted countries. and really the ultimate goal is to increase infrastructure in these countries. and so there are sufficient benefits to recipient countries, it's not necessarily something that only china benefits from. it's hard to imagine that the g7 has the money that it would take, that presumably china has invested,

to counter china's belt and road initiative. i mean, especially in the current context of spending on the problems associated with covid and climate change. i think the us can find, and the g7 countries can find the smart money to invest in infrastructure. what's really interesting to me is that the us and other countries are investing in projects around climate, health security, digital technology and gender equity. this has been emphasised by the white house. these are not areas where china has invested. i think there will be a lot of potential investors interested in doing this for a debt position or some type of grant or other type of financial structure, just because it will provide a lot of returns. we have talked a lot about investment into

developing nations, but what about those nations themselves? do they even want help from the west or are they quite happy with how things have been going with their relationship with china? well, china is a major investor in many countries especially in sub—saharan africa. but a lot of western countries are still invested there. there are many world bank projects going on, as well as public—private partnership projects and so on. so i think it's not, if the us, the uk, other countries have to go in there cold — they are already there. countries will be looking at it project by project, it's also going to take some political skill to work with other governments that are different, not necessarily democracies, just to see if these western countries can get along and make a deal with them. a group of wild elephants wandering across southern china has captivated people

around the world. they've trekked more than 500 kilometres, the furthest of any wild elephants from their habitat. but why are they on the move? becky shu chen, an elephant expert with the zoological society of london, explained where the herd might be headed. elephants, they are giant animals. they need a big house to live, and they need to eat 200kg of food every day. back to the 1970s in china, elephants were only in protected national nature reserves, so people hardly saw them back to the 1970s. but today, we have about 293 elephants, the number has doubled, so they need more houses to go and more food to eat. so i think it's normal for elephants to disperse, it's not migration i want to clarify, but this happened back to the 1990s. for this particular herd, it is just an outlier and they went too far

beyond their natural home range. we have pictures of the herd having a bit of a nap, which is extraordinary, they are all huddled together. it's unusual, you say, to see a herd travel this far. is there any sense of their destination, and when they are going to stop and set up camp? nobody knows. so elephants, just like human beings, have different personalities. so maybe this herd are just adventurous and exploring new territory. but i'm pretty sure to tell you that these elephants depend on human crops. you can see the pictures of them lying down, they feel very relaxed. we don't know. is it concerning that this herd has to travel so far to find some place to live,

essentially? is this a growing problem in china, growing urbanisation, and a reduction in forests and natural habitat for the elephants? so i think it is a complicated issue. based on research in china, elephants don't attack, they are herbivores. we found out elephants like to live in the forest, about 50%, in combination with other land practice, like crops. so we think it could be the major reason driving them to go outside the reserves. but you are particularly right, if they keep going, they are going to the huge urban cities, it could be a problem for coexistence because we have limited space and elephants are not very easy to be living with! it could be a challenge. the celebration of the queen's

official birthday, trooping the colour, has taken place at windsor castle, with a somewhat scaled down parade because of coronavirus restrictions. here's our royal correspondent nick witchell. in the quadrangle of windsor castle where, two months ago, the military paraded for the funeral of the duke of edinburgh, today the celebration of a birthday. present arms! it is the queen's birthday parade, marking this year her 95th birthday. and for the second year, because of the pandemic, the parade took place within the comparative privacy of windsor castle, rather than in public on horse guards parade in central london. unlike last year's very reduced parade, this year a colour was trooped from the 2nd battalion of the scots guards. the standard was paraded through the ranks. there was intricate drill,

closely observed by a monarch who attended her first birthday parade with her father, george vi. wistful moments perhaps, with memories of the many years when she would always have been accompanied to this parade by her husband. but this is a monarch who is keeping busy. last night, she was in cornwall at the g7 summit. tomorrow, she will host president biden at windsor. and all being well, next year, trooping the colour will be back on horse guards parade, at the start of the special platinum jubilee weekend when britain will be marking her 70 years on the throne. all the stories are on the website. you can reach me on twitter — i'm @regedahmad.

hello there. the first half of the weekend saw temperatures reaching 25 in hampshire. the second half of the weekend will be warmer across the uk, and it will be feeling more humid as well. we've got high pressure building up from the azores. that's bringing with it the heat and the humidity and, for many parts of the country, dry weather, too. but there is a weather front that will be heading towards the north west of scotland, where we've already got some pockets of rain and drizzle, early on sunday morning. elsewhere, though, it's going to be dry. sunshine at times for england and wales, some areas of cloud. should get more sunshine breaking out in northern ireland, and much of scotland seeing some sunshine away from the north west, where it turns wetter during the afternoon. here, the pollen levels won't be quite so high, but across england and wales, very high pollen levels —

grass pollen at this time of the year — helped by the heat and humidity. now, it's going to be a warmer day in northern ireland. could make 26 celsius in aberdeenshire, and for the midlands towards the south east of england, 27—28 celsius. it's going to be a muggy game of football at wembley. that heat and humidity ahead of that weather front, which brings rain down across scotland and northern ireland on sunday night. by the time the rain reaches northern england, there's not much left. that rain peters out, and a band of cloud will head its way towards the south east. sunshine follows on behind. showers in the north and west of scotland, and it's cooler, fresher air that's coming in behind that band of cloud for many parts of the country, except towards the south east, where we've still got the heat and humidity and we could make 30 celsius for the first time this year. may start to feel a little cooler and fresher as we head into monday evening. and as we move into tuesday, we've still got another area of high pressure building across the uk, keeping most places dry. but a next weather system is again pushing

in from the atlantic. and that means some stronger winds developing in scotland and northern ireland, increasing cloud, some rain towards the north west of scotland. more in the way of sunshine, though, and strong sunshine for england and wales. and those temperatures in many areas beginning to climb once again on tuesday, although it won't be as warm as monday in the south east of england. looking further ahead, scotland and northern ireland does turn cooler. we get a spell of rain midweek. but as the heat and humidity builds in england and wales, that could trigger some heavy rain and the potential for some thunderstorms as well.
