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 there were some criticism that they weren't social distancing and they weren't social distancing and they were not wearing mass. they are

expected to pledge to almost half the carbon emissions. borisjohnson says he is launching a fund worth half £1 billion to protect the world's oceans emerin live. —— and wildlife. they were treated to a fly past. and again some criticism. they are worried that this was not the perfect way for the g7 to show off their green credentials. boris talked a lot about building back and building bad greener. we can speak to our chief political correspondent vicki young who is in falmouth, just a few miles away from here. apart from the criticism, there were some simmering tensions. we saw the smiles on the beach, but simmering tensions between borisjohnson and the european you're in —— european

union. and the sausage war. this the european you're in -- european union. and the sausage war. this all stems from — union. and the sausage war. this all stems from the _ union. and the sausage war. this all stems from the bilateral _ union. and the sausage war. this all stems from the bilateral talks - union. and the sausage war. this all stems from the bilateral talks that i stems from the bilateral talks that borisjohnson has had with emmanuel macron as well. this goes back to the brexit deal signed before the uk left the european union. what it meant was that there has to be checks on some of the goods going from one part of the uk, england, scotland wales, when they go into northern ireland and that is because they are still following some eu rules. it was a controversial decision by borisjohnson to do this. it is all about trying to keep an open border between northern ireland and ireland to preserve the peace process. that was the decision he made, but it has meant that there is this issue about checks. the uk say that these need to be resolved, that it say that these need to be resolved, thatitis say that these need to be resolved, that it is not right that certain products cannot be sent from england

into northern ireland without checks. they think that there are too many checks being done. on the other side, the eu said, you signed up other side, the eu said, you signed up to this and everyone warned you this would be the case. you have got to implement this properly. it has been let known, put it that way, that during the meeting between borisjohnson and emmanuel macron, boris johnson and emmanuel macron, the borisjohnson and emmanuel macron, the french president talked about northern ireland not really being part of the united kingdom. downing street will not confirm that, but listening to the foreign secretary this morning, he said, well, look, we have heard that view expressed many times before by european leaders and they say that this is the problem, that that is a fundamental misunderstanding of the situation. and countries like france or spain or italy would never allow a case where produce could go from one part of their country into another without checks. this has gone from a bit of a simmering rob to a bit of something more

explosive. we don't know if the french bread incident —— we do not know if emmanuel macron did say this. will be finding out more later. this is a problem that will need to be resolved. the uk has unilaterally decided to extend the grace period that was put in where the checks do not have to take place. they have done that unilaterally and that has irritated the eu to the point where they are taking legal action. something is going to have to give here. they will have to work it out. and this kind of language is not going to help. kind of language is not going to hel. . , kind of language is not going to hel, ., , ., kind of language is not going to help. there was a suggestion that mr johnson help. there was a suggestion that mr johnson said — help. there was a suggestion that mr johnson said how _ help. there was a suggestion that mr johnson said how would _ help. there was a suggestion that mr johnson said how would you - help. there was a suggestion that mr johnson said how would you feel - help. there was a suggestion that mr johnson said how would you feel if i johnson said how would you feel if you cannot send sausages from toulouse to paris. to what extent does all that bickering if that is all it was, to what extent is that sour this g7 summit, which is facing as we have been hearing some of the biggest decisions in human history? downing street say that it should

not be characterised as overwhelming this summit in any way. they say it has not been the only thing that is happening, they acknowledge that there is an issue here and that there is an issue here and that there are big differences and it is going to be a problem. what they say is just because you disagree on one thing does not mean you cannot make real progress on others. they would point to things like the promise of 600 million doses of vaccine for poor countries. they say that kind of thing is more important and they are hoping to have an agreement about what my need to support some of the developing countries to cut their own emissions. that is a real issue now for notjust their own emissions. that is a real issue now for not just the their own emissions. that is a real issue now for notjust the g7 countries, but it is a worldwide problem. the developing countries will turn around and say, you had your industrial revolution, you burned your fossil fuels, you your industrial revolution, you burned yourfossilfuels, you have benefited from that, your economies have and it is not fair now to turn around and say that we cannot do the same. they are going to have to come

up same. they are going to have to come up with money to help those countries. that is a bigger issue. it is an important issue and what downing street would say is that they are making progress in some of these areas which are globally and critically significant.— critically significant. thank you very much- — critically significant. thank you very much- we _ critically significant. thank you very much. we will _ critically significant. thank you very much. we will see - critically significant. thank you very much. we will see how i critically significant. thank you i very much. we will see how much progress they have made when we do get the final communique a little bit later on. rosa balfour is director of carnegie europe — a european foreign policy think tank. she joins us now from brussels. as we were saying these issues post—brexit trade issues may not be dominating the summit, but they are on the sideline. there are simmering tensions which are possibly souring the atmosphere. what do you make of all of that when you watch the details emerge of this apparent spat, if that is what we can call it, between president macron and borisjohnson? i it, between president macron and boris johnson?— boris johnson? i think the whole issue is about _ boris johnson? i think the whole issue is about credibility. -

boris johnson? i think the whole issue is about credibility. boris l issue is about credibility. boris johnson goes into the g7, he is hosting it and wants to prove that global briton can be a reality. joe biden, this is his first foreign visit. his first appointment of a long journey that's going to take place in europe this coming week. joe biden wants to prove that america is back and that the west is back. and send a very powerful message of the rest of the world about climate change, about ending the pandemic. and the question is about credibility. all of the leaders have been saying to boris johnson that the uk needs to live up to its commitments. to the northern ireland protocol. amongst other things he is about living up to commitments and respecting international law and the agreements that have been made. fin international law and the agreements that have been made.— that have been made. on that... let me ask you — that have been made. on that... let me ask you a —

that have been made. on that... let me ask you a bit— that have been made. on that... let me ask you a bit more _ that have been made. on that... let me ask you a bit more about - that have been made. on that... let me ask you a bit more about what i that have been made. on that... let. me ask you a bit more about what you are saying. this was very much billed as the pandemic summit, a summit where the world has some huge choices and the big nations of the g7 have some big choices about the way out of the pandemic and about as borisjohnson has called it, building back better and greener. what do you think we are going to see in the final communique on those issues? we see in the final communique on those issues? ~ , , , ., issues? we will see plenty of commitments. _ issues? we will see plenty of commitments. i— issues? we will see plenty of commitments. i do _ issues? we will see plenty of commitments. i do think- issues? we will see plenty of commitments. i do think the | issues? we will see plenty of- commitments. i do think the leaders of the g7 acknowledge the need to address the pandemic globally that it cannot be solved just in our countries with the vaccination drive, it needs to be done globally, we all know this. and secondly on climate issues, again, all the leaders now acknowledge the need to take action. the question really is to what extent are leaders prepared to what extent are leaders prepared to invest in this financially was my and support the developing world along the path? there is a plan to

propose a green alternative and pushback on china and their expansion. the question is how are you going to finance it. homage... how much resources are you going to put into this? that will be the testament. the optics have been pretty good so far. although the issue with the uk and brexit does cast a shadow on the optics and the message about the west being back. really it is a question of reopening. we will see from the communique and whether the g7 leaders are willing just to back up their words. leaders are willing just to back up theirwords. let's leaders are willing just to back up their words. let's not forget that during the pandemic and with the vaccination drive, the uk and the us have focused exclusively on the domestic recovery and put the international recovery at a later stage. they have blocked the export

of vaccines. this has caused huge delay in the global fight against the pandemic and they have been criticised by the who. the eu by contrast has continued exporting. what we need is a bigger drive, a bigger commitment. the numbers that we have seen so far are really not sufficient to meet the goal of ending the pandemic during 2022. a lot more needs to be done. mil lot more needs to be done. all riaht, lot more needs to be done. all right, good to talk to you. thank you very much indeed forjoining us. there are very many people watching this summit closely in india to see what promises are made on climate change. they will be reading it line by line. i'm joined now by the head of climate at greenpeace uk, kate blagojevic. thank you for being with us. tell us how you see the issues here being

addressed. sir david adam brought his here going to be talking to them and who better to do so about the things that need to be done this year. things that need to be done this ear. w , things that need to be done this ear. . . , , things that need to be done this ear. , , ., , things that need to be done this ear. , , ., h, things that need to be done this ear. , , ., .,, year. exactly. g7 leaders are really su osed year. exactly. g7 leaders are really supposed to _ year. exactly. g7 leaders are really supposed to be _ year. exactly. g7 leaders are really supposed to be spearheading - year. exactly. g7 leaders are really supposed to be spearheading a - year. exactly. g7 leaders are really. supposed to be spearheading a global green recovery. it is looking like they are falling far short of the market. we have obviously seen an announcement on coal this morning and it is good news to make the leaders are finally agreeing to and international investment in coal. the energy experts of the world would say we need to and more fossil fuels immediately. coal, oiland gas. this actually is falling short of what is needed. and we need to see urgent action delivered now. the leaders would say they are doing a

lot on this. big cuts and an emissions that they are going to be promising. big help for the oceans as well. for biodiversity and lots of money being promised to help on those kinds of issues. yes. of money being promised to help on those kinds of issues.— those kinds of issues. yes, we saw money being _ those kinds of issues. yes, we saw money being announced _ those kinds of issues. yes, we saw money being announced to - those kinds of issues. yes, we saw money being announced to the - those kinds of issues. yes, we saw- money being announced to the oceans. as far as i understand it, boris johnson made those commitments in the manifesto in 2019. and so those are simply reheated, old promises. and he is really peppering his plan with a bit of hypocrisy without real action. yes, there are some good steps being taken, but there are all an awful lot of green sound bites as well. what we need to see is finance being delivered from decade old promises, from promises made two years ago. you can understand why we end developing countries will be a little bit sceptical of these

promises when not a lot has been delivered and the checks are not being written. fist delivered and the checks are not being written-— delivered and the checks are not bein: written. �* . , , . being written. at least they are may skiinu -- being written. at least they are may skiing -- at — being written. at least they are may skiing -- at least— being written. at least they are may skiing -- at least they _ being written. at least they are may skiing -- at least they are _ being written. at least they are may skiing -- at least they are making . skiing —— at least they are making the promises and talking about green issues. green issues and getting out of the pandemic are central to this summit. it is a brilliant opportunity that the world has been in such crisis and they have come together to try to fight a crisis. it is a time for a global initiative on climate change like no other. absolutely. we are seeing impacts of the climate crisis already. in the uk, and parts of africa, all around the world, we are feeling those impacts. the climate crisis is simply not going to go away. this is the year that we do need to start real action being delivered and i'm afraid, what we are seeing is a lot of promises, a lot of targets and those, as you say, those are all

good moves, but what we all need to see is action being delivered. we need to see the policies that make those target happen. and we need to see the money that can make those targets happen. without those things, we are simply not going to get that kind of progress that we all need to see.— get that kind of progress that we all need to see. thank you so much indeed. presidentjoe biden and his wifejill went to church. the small catholic church, the sacred heart in st ives ahead of those g7 meetings. the church overlooks the bay of st. ives. it was a huge motorcade as you expected, winding around the narrow lanes of cornwall. there were 17 vehicles, i think. lanes of cornwall. there were 17 vehicles, ithink. not lanes of cornwall. there were 17 vehicles, i think. not exactly sure what the carbon footprint of that particular visit would have been. in

answer to the question or how it was, he said, it was beautiful. and he has been talking very much about how beautiful he finds it here in cornwall, which indeed, it is, of course. joe biden there. a little bit later on, he is going to be meeting the queen. he will be the 13th president that the queen will have met at windsor castle this afternoon. they will have a cup of tea and they will be welcomed by a guard of honour at the royal residence. ourwork guard of honour at the royal residence. our work royal correspondent has this report. 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. that is whatjoe biden is doing later today. that is whatjoe biden is doing latertoday. boris that is whatjoe biden is doing later today. borisjohnson started his day with an early morning swim and some rather cold water. here are some pictures of that period he ran into the sea for his morning swim. talking of coldwater, china has been pouring a little bit of cold water on this whole g7 summit. they have said that days when global decisions were dictated by a small group of countries are long gone. of course, china is not part of the g7. that is it from me here. there will be plenty more throughout the day as we get communique this afternoon. for now, back to the studio in london. thank you, we will have more from you later. we will start now with an

update on christian eriksen. the danish midfielder christian eriksen remains in a stable condition in hospital, after collapsing during his country'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. my colleague olly fosterjoins me from outside wembley stadium. good to see you. what more do we know about christian eriksen's condition? it's a stable condition we are told, any more updates? just the latest update from the danish football union that you mentioned. more positive news. he is stable and they went on to say that all the players that was so distressed for the number of hours after their 29—year—old team—mate collapsed just

before half—time, they are receiving crisis assistance. counciling for what they saw. and how they can possibly get over that because so many around the world as the eyes of the world were on them were deeply affected by seeing one of the world's greatest players collapsed and received cardiopulmonary resuscitation who have been lauded for their rapid response for his survival. the first glimmer of hope with the images he was taken off the pitch surrounded by his danish team—mates, conscious. we thought, well, he is alive at least. but now the danish as they are saying he is stable and he has been having conversations with his team—mates. those conversations were key to the danish key going back onto the field and resuming the game and finishing

it. even though they lost to finland. more positive news that christian eriksen is stable. this has been felt _ christian eriksen is stable. this has been felt right _ christian eriksen is stable. this has been felt right across football. the england manager cancelled his pre—match conference on saturday, but they do get the tournament going later. , ., , , but they do get the tournament going later. , . , , ., ., later. yes, we are less than two hours away _ later. yes, we are less than two hours away from _ later. yes, we are less than two hours away from their— later. yes, we are less than two hours away from their opener i later. yes, we are less than two l hours away from their opener with croatia. lots of people in the england squad would have played with christian eriksen. and they are deeply affected. many people would have been affected by what happened as well. the highly anticipated opener in group de. england have a very poor record at european

championships. they have never won their opening game. and croatia have never lost theirs. let's see if anything gives in this one coming up. anything gives in this one coming u . _ ., ~' anything gives in this one coming un. ., " , ., anything gives in this one coming 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 — we're looking at the data today. again, you've got hospitalisations up, you've got — you've got cases up.

there are grounds for — for caution. that doesn't mean that this country hasn't made enormous progress with vaccination. clearly, what you've got is a — 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 21st. 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. israel is expected to swear in a new coalition government later — ending benjamin netanyahu's12—year run as leader there. overnight, protesters gathered in front of the prime minister's residence to celebrate the 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. now it's time for a look at the weather with matt. hello, going to be sunny and hot for a lot of you today. the highlands will be wider and in the evening it will be wider and in the evening it will be wider and in the evening it will be wet as well. keeping temperatures at bay. 28, 29 toward the southeast corner. outbreaks of wayne will be happening this evening. something pressure will come in. it will be humid across the south with temperatures no lower than around 15 or 16. the humid air is going to squeeze to this south

hello this is bbc news — i'm ben mundy. on 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. borisjohnson urges cautions ahead of a decision on whether lockdown restrictions will be lifted in england — with the possibility of a four week delay. denmark's christian eriksen remains in a stable condition in hospital after collapsing during a match at the european championship. 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, dateline london with shaun ley.

hello, i'm shaun ley. welcome to the programme which brings together leading britishjournalists, bbc specialists and foreign correspondents who write, broadcast and blog for audiences from the dateline london. this weekend the united states declares its return to global leadership at the g7 summit by revising the atlantic charter it signed in 19111. but on vaccinating the globe, taxing multinationals, peace in northern ireland, treating with china and climate change, is the world of 2021 willing to be led? joining me to discuss all that and more, henry chu, who has run los angeles times bureau in beijing, delhi and rio. he is now the paper's deputy news editor. the irish journalist

brian o'connell was london editor for ireland's public service broadcaster rte and here with me in the studio is celia hatton, the bbc�*s pacific asia editor. a warm welcome to all of you, thanks for being with us and thank you as well for being with us at home. now, 80 years ago in what is now canada's atlantic coast, in the midst of war, winston churchill and franklin roosevelt signed the atlantic charter. tack due east and fast forward eight decades and on england's atlantic coast, their modern day successors, boris johnson and joe biden, have signed anew. what the g7 leaders who convened on friday may not know is that cornwall in england's far south—west is a county of changeable weather. atlantic squalls can blow up without warning and through the surf is slight, the water may be turning underneath. henry, in terms of the relationship between the uk and the united states, first of all, since they were the signatories of the original atlantic charter, boris johnson described it as being like a breath of fresh air dealing with the biden administration, but i wonder if the air is blowing hot or cold at

the moment between london and washington?
