good morning, i'm here at tregenna castle, the resort in st ives, cornwall in the south west of england hosting the g7 summit. it's another gloriously sunny morning here but today sir david attenborough will address world leaders gathered here with a warning that they have to help save the planet. he'll tell them the choices they make on climate change will be some of the most important in human history. last night the leaders were treated to a barbeque on the beach at carbis bay — today climate change is top of their agenda and they are expected to pledge to pledge to almost halve their emissions by 2030 relative to 2010, and the prime minister will say he's launching a fund worth £0.5 billion to protect the world's oceans and marine life. by the way there were some

criticisms of this gathering on the beach by people suggesting there was very little social distancing and a group of more than 30 people. there's also been some criticism of the red arrows flypast the world leaders watched — environmentalists suggesting it wasn't the best way to show the g7�*s green credentials. much talk of building back after the pandemic better and greener. as the summit draws to a close with only two sessions left, the g7 group will be publishing their communique. we can speak to our diplomatic correspondent james landale who is in falmouth, just a few miles away from here. what do we expect in the final communique? today is very much a day they are talking and healing about climate change. these documents tend

to be quite long and wordy, a lot is just a bare bh. the key things to look out for is what is the summit agree on tackling the pandemic, one of the bottom lines by which this summit will bejudged. the of the bottom lines by which this summit will be judged. the question is how many dorsey's will these rich countries make available and provide to developing countries? the expectations are the text will confirm 1 billion surplus at doses over the next year and it is clear that it's almost unanimity that is not enough elsewhere. there was a briefing here by the head of the world health organization who said 1 billion doses is fine. we actually need 11 billion doses. that is the first thing to look for. you mentioned climate change. david attenborough giving his message today. the question will not be some new fund set up for biodiversity,

much of that is paid for by existing commitments the uk has made. it will be what is the summit again say about helping developing countries adapt to climate change? that is the big question hanging over the summit and the big environmental summit, the cop 26 summit later this autumn. if you do not get these developing countries on side you cannot get agreement. that summit requires unanimity and there is a huge demand on which countries meeting here on, or to stump up a lot more cash. will they commit to any precise figure? at the moment that speculation they might not be able to do it. they don't feel ready to do it. those that i think the two key tests to look to when the communique comes out. we were looking at pictures of leaders on the beach from yesterday evening. it looked idyllic, lots of big smiles and bonhomie but below the surface a little bit of tension

and reports today borisjohnson was infuriated by president macron of france suggesting northern ireland was not part of the united kingdom. what is your reading of that? this summit was never going to be the place a deal was hammered out on the road between the uk and the eu over the so—called northern ireland protocol, the rules regulating trade across irish sea. but instead of this being a moment we are barbecues and hanging around on the beach, acting as a moment that could engender a bit of trust between both sides, it seems instead to have increased tensions. yesterday the europeans leaders met borisjohnson and restated their position, the uk repeated their positions to an boris johnson came out and give a round of interviews in which she started threatening again to unilaterally

withdraw from the protocol of the europeans didn't allow more flexibility. 0vernight we have had these remarks reported that during these remarks reported that during the conversation with mr macron mr johnson said how would you feel if you could not sell at sausage from toulouse and paris? and then reportedly mr macron said that is the same country and mrjohnson said but northern ireland is part of the same country. instead of the summit being a moment we are perhaps a little bit of trust could have been found, maybe a little bit of a place where perhaps some kind of pragmatic deal could have been farmed it seems to have driven both sides further apart on that issue. the row over british sausages neither row over toulouse sausages. —— it is now the row over toulouse sausages.

we can also speak to our correspondent nomia iqbal. you were watching that barbecue on the beach. we were talking to james about perhaps a few simmering tensions that as well. that's right. it is the morning after the night before and the barbecue lasted a lot longer than we expected. the g7 leaders and their partners and other representatives appear to have a really good time on the beach. we have a really good viewpoint from where we are so we could have a look and they enjoyed the red arrows fly past. where we are here lots of residents were out on the balcony is watching it too. you mentioned there has been some criticism because there was not a lot of social dance and sing going on. we spotted the waiters with masks on and today we also spotted borisjohnson, the uk prime minister, going for a swim. he

also went for a jog and has been doing that every morning. it is the final day of the summit when we will get that important communique in which we will find out exactly what all these meetings have added up to and what they have agreed on and properly what they have not agreed on as well. also forjoe biden, it's a big day for him. it's a big european trip for him, his first overseas trip since he became president. this g7 summit is really just the start of it. people see the queen a bit later on but then that very important summit with president vladimir of russia. the whole thing has been a big moment for president joe biden. he has only been president forfive months joe biden. he has only been president for five months and when he was elected president has priority and still is was for american domestic policies but this is his first foreign trip abroad as president. joe biden is used to meeting world leaders but cycling

around that foreign policy establishment but this is the first time he has left america as the actual president. the g7 summit has been very important for him. his message has always been america is back and i think if we go by the words of the french president macron who he said to the president welcome back to the club i'm sure president joe biden will be very pleased with the assessment. he is off to other meetings and will be heading to brussels to meet with nato and after that on wednesday he will have full stocks with the russian president vladimir putin. we did here yesterdayjoe biden is expected to give a solar press conference or read into that what you will. he will be trying to reset relations with nato and will want to reaffirm his relationship with them and america's relationship and get tough on vladimir putin which is pretty much the opposite position that is

predecessor, donald trump, too. so lots ahead for him but before him he will be flying to windsor with his wife to have tea with the queen. he has met the queen before but i guess you can't meet the queen enough when you can't meet the queen enough when you are a united states president. i'm sure he's looking forward to it. as the g7 summit draws to a close, the us president and first lady will make their way to windsor castle this afternoon, where they will meet the queen. joe biden and his wife jill will be welcomed by a guard of honour, followed by tea at the royal residence. he will be the 13th us leader the queen has met during her reign. 0ur royal correspondent nicholas witchell reports. it's a busy weekend for the queen. on friday evening, she was in cornwall, meeting the g7 leaders and posing

with them for a group photograph. are you supposed to be looking as if you're enjoying it? yes. yesterday at windsor, she watched a scaled—down trooping the colour, marking her 95th birthday. and it will be at windsor castle this afternoon that she will welcome president biden and the first lady. no—one else in public life can have met as many us presidents as the queen. during the nearly 70 years of her reign, she has met 12 of them. notably, in the early 1960s, she met presidentjohn f kennedy and his wife jacqueline. in the 1980s, she and president ronald reagan were brought together through their shared love of horses. they went riding together during the president's visit to windsor. there appeared to be rather less affinity during the most recent presidential visit to windsor — that was in 2018, when donald trump and his wife came for tea. that visit is principally remembered for the president having walked in front of the queen as they inspected a guard of honour.

but all the presidential visitors have one thing in common — a respect for a monarch who is now the world's longest—serving head of state and who, for all her non—political role, is able, in subtle ways, to underpin britain's reputation. nicholas witchell, bbc news. borisjohnson was spotted this morning going for an early morning swim. there appears running into the water, pretty bracing i would think. i haven't tried it myself. he went for a swim as well as a jog and later on he will have a news conference here at the summit. he will no doubt be asked more about whether he is going to delay lifting coronavirus restrictions in england onjune coronavirus restrictions in england on june 21 and coronavirus restrictions in england onjune 21 and also about that apparent spat with president macron

reported about postbag is trade arrangements of the effect northern ireland. it is the last day in the g7 summit and one of the biggest countries in the world, china has poured a bit of cold water on it, a spokesman for china seeing the days when the summit change things for the world are long gone. the danish midfielder christian eriksen remains in a stable condition in hospital, after collapsing during denmark's euro 2020 match against finland. the danish fa says he was able to speak to them, and sent his greetings to his team mates. medics confirmed the 29—year—old received life—saving cpr on the pitch during saturday's game against finland.. football clubs and players

across the world have sent messages of support. the game was suspended, but later resumed at the request of both teams. 0ur sport correspondent john watsonjoins me from outside wembley stadium. what is the update on his condition today? huge relief last night as news came through from uefa firstly that christian eriksen was stable and responsive in hospital, so much so that his danish team—mates were able to communicate with them which led to the request from the danish team for that match to resume as it did so last night against finland in their opening group b encounter and p0p their opening group b encounter and pop and he can. he remains in hospital at the moment and will continue to receive further examinations but a huge boost not just for christian eriksen and his family and loved ones but the huge number of families that mac fans watching in the stadium and those chinned and around the world who saw the horrific images of christian eriksen collapse before and very

moving as the players fond the around them to preserve his dignity. gareth southgate england manager leads his team out in their first match against croatia this afternoon, stopping and cancelling his press conference last night saying it would not have been right to go ahead with that with the news still seeping through with regards to the condition of christian eriksen. but as things stand christian eriksen stable in hospital and the tournament continues. lots of the talk ahead of the game about players taking the knee. that's right. we will talk about england team and some of the selections that southgate has to ponder going into the match but a lot of the pretournament talk has centred around the decision by england to continue taking the knee, the strong antiracism gesture. a lot of top was

for the scotland who england play in the second group game here would continue to do the same. scotland have said they will take the knee in a show of solidarity alongside their english counterparts but will stand against racism for the two other group games to beast that —— to be staged at hampden park. gareth southgate has been fairly unequivocal as have many of his squad members in continuing the strong antiracism gesture which he says it sends a very strong signal to those watching around the world and of course all eyes will be on the fancier this afternoon because as we know some sections of the england support that blew those england support that blew those england players as he took the knee in those two warm up matches. we have seen that drowned out by some applause by other sections of the fans and i am sure whether to be any further brewing today there would i hope be a stronger section of the 22

and a half thousand support that would drone any possible booming out. it is croatia for england, knocked out england in the world cup in 2018. any idea on the team selection? i would like to say i have all the answers for you and i think gareth southgate is having to wrestle with this one because such a plethora of attacking ability at the top end of the pitch. the big question marks as well in defence, who will partnerjohn stones in the centre of england's defence in the absence of harry maguire who has not played since picking up an injury in may? question marks over the fitness ofjordan henderson, the liverpool midfielder. i think gareth southgate will probably go for experience and decide that that will be tough to beatin decide that that will be tough to beat in this opening match. as we know the key thing is you don't want to lose your opening group game.

portugal, the current holders are testament to that. they did not when a single group game at the last championships, the drew all three. potentially walker in defence and potentially trippier. connor cordy tyrone meng perhaps. and then declan rice, calvin phillips and mason mount a certain starter. who will partner harry kane? take your pick from phil foden and jack grealish. we will still be speculating until we get that line up speculating until we get that line up an hour before kick—off.

a decision on whether to lift all of england's lockdown restrictions on the 21st ofjune is expected to be taken later today. this before the prime minister makes an announcement tomorrow, however he has already said the government must be cautious as hospital admissions increase. simonjones reports. a barbecue on the beach last night at the g7 summit in cornwall. but borisjohnson, enjoying a drink, has a lot on his mind — whether the lifting of the remaining coronavirus restrictions in england should go ahead as scheduled on the 21st ofjune, with caution the watchword. you've got to be cautious in order to deliver what we want to see, which is an irreversible road map, but we're looking at the data today. again, you've got hospitalisations up, you've got cases up. there are grounds for caution. that 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's just a question of the pace.

surge testing in the london borough of kingston to try to identify cases of the delta variant first discovered in india. it's the rapid rise in numbers that is causing the potential rethink, which could see a delay of a month to the lockdown being declared over, with an inevitable impact on the economy. although nightlife has returned to towns and cities, many venues are operating at far below their capacity with food and drink having to be ordered at tables. so any further delay in the lifting of lockdown will come as a bitter blow to businesses. they were hoping that removing limits on social contact would allow pubs, clubs, theatres and cinemas to operate how they used to, before the pandemic. not really sure about a week's time. i think it needs to be done with more thought. obviously, this is a bit crazy. i think thought needs to go into it but definitely, people are not gonna do another lockdown. ijust feel like we should just go with june 215t. because the rates are going down, no? up. they're going up? i thought they were going down!

yeah, for that reason, i understand why it's getting pushed back. the plan for what happens next is expected to be signed off later today, though it's not due to be made public until monday. simon jones, bbc news. sage adviser professor andrew hayward has also been talking to the bbc�*s andrew marr. he said the uk is facing a "substantial third wave" of infections. i think it's no very clear that we will have a substantial third wave of infections. the really big question is how much that wave of infections will translate into hospitalisations. the fact we have 55% of the adult population double vaccinated means that will be substantially less bad than it could have been but we still don't know exactly how that could be. the foreign secretary dominic raab has said the government will proceed carefully when it comes to lifting lockdown restrictions in england. speaking to the bbc�*s andrew marr,

mr raab said ministers are looking at the data, but that they want to proceed "irreversibly". of course we said we would move the date no earlier than the 21st of june. we have three quarters of adults in this country with their first door�*s and my understanding is around 55% with a second and when you get up to the second you are most effective notjust you get up to the second you are most effective not just about the virus but against the delta variant and other variants are we're looking at that data in real time and will set out the position tomorrow on the basis we want to move out of lockdown irreversibly and that means we have to be very careful about that data. israel is expected to swear in a new coalition government later — ending benjamin netanyahu s 12—year run as leader. 0vernight, protesters gathered in front of the prime minister's residence to celebrate the forthcoming vote. under a power—sharing agreement, naftali bennett will serve as prime ministerfor two years — before handing over to yair lapid. a mystery bidder has paid £20 million for a seat

on the first crewed space flight organised by the amazon founder, jeff bezos. they'll accompany the tycoon and his brother, mark, on the flight next month, which is expected to last ten minutes. david willis has the story. after a month—long bidding process which attracted interest from more than 140 countries, the top bid stood atjust under $5 million, but once an online auction got under way, that figure rose dramatically. and that is sold — $28 million! the winner's identity has yet to be revealed, but their $28 million donation buys them a seat alongside the world's richest man on his blue 0rigin spacecraft for its maiden voyage beyond the earth's atmosphere. blue 0rigin is hailing the sightseeing trip, due to take place onjuly 20th, as a landmark moment in commercial space travel. to see the earth from space changes you and changes your relationship with this planet, with humanity — it's one earth. but a rival space pioneer could steal a march on mr bezos. it's thought richard branson might join a test flight of his virgin vss unity space plane onjuly 4th. funds raised from the blue 0rigin auction are being donated to charity.

now it's time for a look at the weather with matt. possibly sunny and hot for quite a few of you through today. cloud across england and wales breaking up into sunny spells for the afternoon but to the highlands and islands went through the rest of today and through the evening and to 0rkney and shetland keeping temperatures at bay here. 26 in eastern scotland and

28, 29 towards the south—east corner. this evening and overnight outbreaks of rain pushed south across scotland and northern ireland. a humid night across the south with temperatures no lower than 15 or 16 degrees. the humid air will be squeezed to the south—east corner by monday and rein in north england and north wales pushes south. sunny spells and monitor showers across western scotland but with humid air still in place in the south—east corner 28, 29 degrees possible again. slightly fresh air gets into the south as we had to choose the but —— as we head to tuesday.

this is bbc news. the headlines: 0n the final day of the g7 summit in cornwall, sir david attenborough says world leaders face one of the most important decisions in the history of mankind in how they tackle climate change.

tea with the queen: her majesty will host president biden at windsor castle this afternoon. denmark's christian eriksen remains in a stable condition in hospital after collapsing during a match at the european championships. borisjohnson urges cautions ahead of a decision on whether lockdown restrictions will be lifted in england, with the possibility of a four week delay. is it the end of an era for benjamin netanyahu? his 12—year reign as prime minister is expected to be ended by a vote in the israeli parliament later. now on bbc news... we're in coventry as the city's streets are transformed into a giant stage, and the celebrations finally begin for the covid delayed year as uk city of culture 2021. jingle plays. good morning and welcome to the breakfast show. i hope you have heard some caffeine in you already because today is going to be a very big day. the start of a summer weekend in coventry.

but this is no ordinary saturday. today, the city will be transformed into a giant stage, to mark the start of a big year, as the uk city of culture. stay with us all day because we're going to make sure that you do not miss a moment of this. it s been a long time coming. coventry won the honour back in 2017, way before covid forced the organisers to rethink everything. you see the track, it's down here. because we can't be bringing audiences together in large numbers, or even participants, we have had to think very differently. for a start, what is about to take place on these streets has had to be kept strictly under wraps to avoid crowds gathering to watch.

we thought, if people can't come into us, we will go out to them. it may be that they popped out for a bit of shopping and they encounter something running past them through the city centre. it might be that something turns up on their street. this cultural cocktail also streaming online and on social media for people to enjoy at home. we ve created an event that runs from almost dawn to dusk and is animating the entire city. singing. it s 8 o clock and the day of celebrations begins on a bridge in a part of town known as spon end.
