this is bbc news, i'm shaun ley. the headlines at four. tensions between britain and france over brexit threaten to overshadow the g7 summit in cornwall after emmanuel macron is accused of suggesting that northern ireland is not part of the uk. what i'm saying is that we will do whatever it takes to protect the territorial integrity of the uk. sir david attenborough throws down the gauntlet to world leaders — he says the choices they make on climate change will be some of the most important in the history of mankind. i'm annita mcveigh, live at windsor — where president biden is to meet the queen later today.

doctors confirm denmark's christian eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest during a match at the european championship. and a sterling effort from england as they beat croatia 1—0 in their opening game of the euro 2020 championship at wembley. good afternoon. borisjohnson has said britain will do "everything it takes to protect the territorial integrity of the uk", but president macron has warned of inconsistencies on the british side.

hello, and a very warm welcome to cornwall. a commitment to send 870 million doses of the coronavirus vaccine to developing countries in the next year. the seven countries said that including the share they had already supplied, the real figure is a billion. it all leaders acknowledged the problem with capacity at the moment, and india and south africa said there is widespread support among the members to waive intellectual property rights. those negotiations are ongoing. the leaders that listened to a presentation from sir david attenborough said they will be accelerating efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions, but within the communique there is not a lot of detail of how that will happen and no agreement yet on phasing out coal fired power stations. in the final communique, the g7 leaders said they would challenge china on nonmarket

policies and practices that undermine fairand policies and practices that undermine fair and transparent trade in the global economy, and they called on china to recognise human rights in shing jang. and on russia, joe biden acknowledged that relationships were at a low point, and he would be having a frank conversation with vladimir putin in geneva on wednesday. here is what the president had to say in that press conference. that the president had to say in that press conference.— the president had to say in that press conference. that is what the g7 is all about, _ press conference. that is what the g7 is all about, and _ press conference. that is what the g7 is all about, and rallying - press conference. that is what the g7 is all about, and rallying the i g7 is all about, and rallying the world's democracies to meet the challenges. and to deliver four people, and for people everywhere. and in the pandemic, and maintaining robust support... where the top priorities of our nations. we know that we can achieve one without the other, that is we have to deal with the pandemic in order to be able to deal with economic recovery, as we are doing in the states, but we

committed we are going to do more for the rest of the world as well. the fact is that the us contribution is the foundation to work out how we are going to deal with the hundred nations that are poor and having trouble finding vaccines and having trouble finding vaccines and having trouble dealing with reviving their economies in the first place. the british prime _ economies in the first place. the british prime minister said the aim was to have everyone are vaccinated by the end of next year. here's what he had to say. fix, by the end of next year. here's what he had to say-— he had to say. a week ago, i asked m fellow he had to say. a week ago, i asked my fellow leaders _ he had to say. a week ago, i asked my fellow leaders to _ he had to say. a week ago, i asked my fellow leaders to help - he had to say. a week ago, i asked my fellow leaders to help in - my fellow leaders to help in preparing and providing the doses we need to— preparing and providing the doses we need to vaccinate the whole world by the end _ need to vaccinate the whole world by the end of— need to vaccinate the whole world by the end of 2022. leaders have pledged — the end of 2022. leaders have pledged 1 billion doses, that

includes 100 million from the uk to the world's— includes 100 million from the uk to the world's poorest countries, which is another— the world's poorest countries, which is another big step towards vaccinating the world. boris johnson s-ueakin a vaccinating the world. boris johnson speaking a little _ vaccinating the world. boris johnson speaking a little earlier. _ vaccinating the world. boris johnson speaking a little earlier. the - speaking a little earlier. the french president emmanuel macron was talking at the same time asjoe biden. he said there needs to be greater transparency within pharmaceutical companies on the prices and the cost of these vaccines, but he said long term, when you think about it, given that this may not be the only pandemic the world faces, there had to be some effort to produce more capacity in the developing world, and the g7 he said are going to make sure that low income countries can produce more. let's pick up more of that with our political correspondent. at the end of the day, borisjohnson has achieved what he set out to achieve. will the g7 summit be deemed a success? i’m achieve. will the g7 summit be deemed a success?— achieve. will the g7 summit be deemed a success? i'm glad he used at the end of— deemed a success? i'm glad he used at the end of the _ deemed a success? i'm glad he used at the end of the day, _ deemed a success? i'm glad he used at the end of the day, because - deemed a success? i'm glad he used at the end of the day, because it - at the end of the day, because it puts me in mind of the football. we

had two hours of astonishing diplomacy by all of these various world leaders as the football was going on, and it's right that we get down like commentators to chewing it over. i thought it was fascinating. i go back to that old adage to answer that question, which is the proof of the pudding is in the eating, because if you strip away everything else, what you have here were some pretty bold commitments on vaccinations, going to vaccinate everyone in the world by the end of next year, and on climate change, we are going to meet our past commitments on funding fighting climate change and on getting emissions down to zero by 2030, so you know what is coming next. let's see what they do, right? it's all at this point about delivery. we are all used to these summits, hearing grand schemes and great pledges. and now of course it's all about delivery. and on some of this it is going to be quite easy to measure,

such as people vaccinated by next year and whether the money is really there on climate change. more broadly, what i would also call on the one hand, it was positive for these g7 leaders that they wanted to send out a narrative. look, we are reversing this idea of the west in permanent decline. we are going to work together. we are going to co—operate. we may not have a common foreign policy on china, but we are going to co—operate in all of these issues. on the other hand, for the british hosts, it was clearly fantastic for boris johnson to british hosts, it was clearly fantastic for borisjohnson to be hosting this first post pandemic meeting of the world's wealthiest democracies, on the other hand he will of course be disappointed that brexit cast a long shadow over it all, whatever your views on brexit. 0n delivery and the cash you are talking about, they committed today to providing the so—called group of 47, the 47 poorest countries in the

world, with about $100 billion to tackle and face up to the climate change challenges they already face but that commitment was made all to be back in 2009. that is why there is a cynicism around the summit, and when you look at the cash, and you are talking about competing against china, there is a patchwork of promises and then targets that they have put out here today, does it cut it when china is out there throwing billions on the table?— billions on the table? you're absolutely — billions on the table? you're absolutely right. _ billions on the table? you're absolutely right. go - billions on the table? you're absolutely right. go back- billions on the table? you're absolutely right. go back to | billions on the table? you're - absolutely right. go back to where we started, to judge these summits just on what people have said is clearly not enough. and to take your first point on the climate pledges, absolutely there is were made in 2015 in paris that they would get you 100 billion a year by 2020. clearly, they did not achieve that. the pandemic is in some ways to blame. now we willjudge, right? 0n the second point, how does the west

matchup against china in terms of an alternative, a democratic alternative, a democratic alternative to the road and belt promise of china, again you have to see. based on what we've heard so far, you've got the framework, and thatis far, you've got the framework, and that is that the united states has set this out, and i don't think that the other leaders agree that the post pandemic world is a competition. who does better, democracies or autocracies. as they say in the movies, so was the money. to go back to that whole football thing, i'm sorry about this, in football you have to follow the ball. never be distracted by what the players do. just follow the ball. with summits, you have to follow the money.— follow the money. crucially important _ follow the money. crucially important because - follow the money. crucially i important because unanimity follow the money. crucially - important because unanimity will be needed at cop26 later in the year, and these developing countries would say you put the cabin up in the atmosphere, what are you going to do to fix it? plenty of reaction coming

into all of these press conferences which are still ongoing. we've just been watching justin trudeau from canada. we are going to pick through that over the course of the next few hours and pull out the most interesting details. you were watching bbc news. christian fraser down in cornwall. we have heard from the japanese prime minister, who says he pledges all the other leaders ofjapan says he pledges all the other leaders of japan hosting the olympics. in the past few minutes, england have beaten croatia 1—0 in their opening game of the european championship at wembley. although foster is there for us. that has been too delayed by a year. euro 2020 delayed by a year but now well and truly under way. despite the drama in copenhagen last night, a euphoric mood for england fans today. a euphoric mood for england fans toda . ~ , ,., , today. absolutely. cheering their wa all today. absolutely. cheering their way all the _ today. absolutely. cheering their way all the way _ today. absolutely. cheering their way all the way back _ today. absolutely. cheering their way all the way back down - today. absolutely. cheering their. way all the way back down wembley way stop _ way all the way back down wembley way stop all of the banners of uefa euro 2020, — way stop all of the banners of uefa euro 2020, but they certainly feel

as you mentioned, the imagery we have seen already from over the weekend, there is a warmth, there is relaxation, he has a twinkle in his eye at any given time, so i think in times of style and substance this can be quite a meaningful interaction, and i think he brings something... biden is the kind of president, it's very attractive for a lot of people. he would be equally charming and comfortable, and i think that is a very good start for whatever conversations they do choose to have. {lari whatever conversations they do choose to have.— whatever conversations they do choose to have. . ., , ,, choose to have. of course, the queen is very much — choose to have. of course, the queen is very much the _ choose to have. of course, the queen is very much the embodiment - choose to have. of course, the queen is very much the embodiment of - is very much the embodiment of continuity— is very much the embodiment of continuity in the transatlantic relationship. joe biden is the 13th us president that he has met. what extent— us president that he has met. what extent do— us president that he has met. what extent do you think that depends on individual— extent do you think that depends on individual relationships? and what extent— individual relationships? and what extent does it depend on the rapport that can _ extent does it depend on the rapport that can be _ extent does it depend on the rapport that can be built? i extent does it depend on the rapport that can be built?— that can be built? i suppose with the queen _ that can be built? i suppose with the queen in _ that can be built? i suppose with the queen in particular, - that can be built? i suppose with the queen in particular, the - that can be built? i suppose with i the queen in particular, the power

dynamic is such that it is the president's aspiration in some ways to come and have tea with the queen, so there is that. but certainly, the character of the individual president is going to make a difference, there is no question about it, and i think all of them would be and are to some extent of the fact that she has been there for such an extensive time, and she has met as queen every president barring lyndonjohnson back to dwight eisenhower, and she even met harry truman when she was princess. that puts things in perspective a little bit, and that continuity and calm i think goes a long way, especially in times like we are in at the moment. just briefly, do you thinkjoe biden in particular has much more in common— in particular has much more in common with the queen than some other— common with the queen than some other presidents in terms of a line of service? — other presidents in terms of a line of service? he is 78, he was a

sorts back to you. let's go to the bbc sports centre- — good afternoon. hi, sean, good afternoon. england have made the perfect start to euro 2020. they beat world cup finalists crostia 1—0 at wembley in their opening group game. manchester city's raheem sterling scoring the winner — his first goal for england at a major championship. so here's the goal. kalvin phillips with a lovely through ball to sterling. it's the first time england have won their first match at a european championship and sterling there repaying southgate's decision to put him in the starting team. it feels good, to be honest with you. i've always said, if i played at wembley, at a major tournament, i am scoring at wembley. it's great to finally do that. it's great to get off to a win. it's we got off to the win. now we've got the game is to look forward to, and i hope we win again. look forward to, and i hope we win aaain. , ., , , look forward to, and i hope we win aaain. , ., _ �*, ., look forward to, and i hope we win aaain. ,., _ �*, ., . again. obviously it's a nice feelina. again. obviously it's a nice feeling- as _ again. obviously it's a nice feeling. as soon _ again. obviously it's a nice feeling. as soon as - again. obviously it's a nice feeling. as soon as we - again. obviously it's a nice l feeling. as soon as we finish celebrating, it's the first time i've looked at him and found him with a _

it's difficult but i have a sense that it was wrong that the players were given the situation. new zealand only needed an hour this morning to beat england on day four of their second test match at edgbaston. england lost their last wicket to the first ball of the day — it meant that the visitors only needed 38 runs to wrap up the win. it's the first home series england have lost in seven years. joe wilson reports. how long could england's second innings resist? the grim conclusion to saturday's sorry story. 0k, innings resist? the grim conclusion to saturday's sorry story. ok, so england bowling again. new zealand second innings, 641. they only needed 38 to win. it would only take a few of these to get there well before lunch. in fact, before they barely digested breakfast. england bowlers persevered in this match.

including live text commentary of the men's final at the french open — novak djokovic against stefanos tsitsipas — and it's tsitsipas who's two sets up in paris. but, sean, that's all your sport for now. christian eriksen's collapse last night has renewed calls for more safeguards, including defibrillators at pitch side. one person campaigning on that issue is part—time ootballer astley mulholland. just remind people what prompted your campaign? my just remind people what prompted your campaign?— just remind people what prompted your campaign? my brother passed awa in your campaign? my brother passed away in 2005 _ your campaign? my brother passed away in 2005 due _ your campaign? my brother passed away in 2005 due to _ your campaign? my brother passed away in 2005 due to cardiac- your campaign? my brother passed away in 2005 due to cardiac arrest. a petition— away in 2005 due to cardiac arrest. a petition got about 40,000 signatures, and then itjust sort of

number of infections reported 7490. the latest figure on vaccination we haveis the latest figure on vaccination we have is that 41.5 million people have is that 41.5 million people have now received their first dose of one of the coronavirus vaccines. we know we have the very important announcement announcement tomorrow about whether or not there will be a full relaxation of the restrictions, in fact an end to the restrictions in fact an end to the restrictions in england. it's now looking less likely that that will be the case. the prime minister is certainly not discouraging the tone of reporters remarks over the past couple of days amid some leaks that suggest the government might delay by as much as four weeks the final stage of the unlocking. let's talk to somebody directly affected by all this. we can speak now to theatre impresario sir howard panter, who is joint chief executive of trafalgar entertainment. thank you for being with us. the number of theatres at the moment openin number of theatres at the moment open in london's west and is about 10%. what of the current rules is
