i'm annita mcveigh live at windsor — where us presidentjoe biden has just been welcomed by the queen. the queen greeted the us leader and the first lady in the castle�*s quadrangle, where the us national anthem was played. a guard of honour gave a royal salute — then went in for tea with the queen — he'll be leaving very shortly. i'm ben brown, and i'm in falmouth where the g7 summit has concluded — member states have agreed to deliver more than a billion coronavirus vaccinations to poorer countries and promised concerted action on climate change.

but tensions between britain and france over brexit threatened to overshadow the summit after emmanuel macron was accused of suggesting that northern ireland is not part of the uk. what i am saying is that we will do whatever it takes to protect the territorial integrity of the uk. and, a sterling effort from england as they beat croatia 1—0 in their opening game of the european championship at wembley.

hello and a warm welcome — you join me here at windsor castle, where the queen has welcomed the us president, joe biden and his wife jill with a guard of honour and tea. the couple met the queen on friday at a reception for the g7 leaders at the eden project. president biden is the 13th american leader to meet her majesty. let's speak to our royal correspondent daniela relph. the president and first lady are still inside the castle with the queen. we expect them to leave pretty soon. i would love to be a fly on the wall to hear what was discussed. we do not give any me tales. talk about what the topics might have been. you tales. talk about what the topics might have been.— tales. talk about what the topics might have been. you would want to be a fl on might have been. you would want to be a fly on the _ might have been. you would want to be a fly on the wall— might have been. you would want to be a fly on the wall and _ might have been. you would want to be a fly on the wall and love - might have been. you would want to be a fly on the wall and love to - be a fly on the wall and love to know what went on. the queen will not say and thereby thens will not say. a little bit of guesswork here.

they will have spoken about how the g7 has gone and how the first year of the biden presidency is going. the elephant in the room as harry and meghan, that is a direct link to the united states where the queen and the bidens to discuss especially as the first lady has a relationship with prince harry. i think it is unlikely it will come up in any detail, perhaps a bit around the new great—granddaughter or perhaps around the charity work they have done. the idea that they will have any conversation at length about the problems between the royal family and between harry and meghan, it is not appropriate for this type of meeting. i5 not appropriate for this type of meetinu. , , . , ., not appropriate for this type of meetin.. , , . , ., . meeting. is this a prelude to a state visit _ meeting. is this a prelude to a state visit at _ meeting. is this a prelude to a state visit at a _ meeting. is this a prelude to a state visit at a later _ meeting. is this a prelude to a state visit at a later point? - meeting. is this a prelude to a l state visit at a later point? that seems to be — state visit at a later point? that seems to be point. _ state visit at a later point? trisgt seems to be point. president biden would get the full pomp and ceremony that comes with a state visit but

having said that, looking from the outside, there was plenty of pomp and ceremony here today, even though it was an informal tea, a drop in. you got the grenadier guards, the national anthem, you got the grenadier guards, the nationalanthem, it you got the grenadier guards, the national anthem, it had all the trappings of a royal visit and that just seeing soft diplomacy at work they are. what is the point ofjoe biden coming to see the queen today? it gives an added status to his visit here in the uk, they become part of one another�*s history which they will be conscious. will this resolve any other thorny issues between the uk us government? no, will it store up some goodwill? yes, perhaps it will do something around those kind of subject areas. you those kind of sub'ect areas. you talk about h those kind of sub'ect areas. you talk about soft _ those kind of subject areas. you talk about soft diplomacy. in your experience of royal watching and seeing the queen meet various presidents, how do you think this meeting on friday and today, how do you feel that has gone, the rapport

between the queen and president biden and joe biden? it between the queen and president biden and joe biden?— between the queen and president biden and joe biden? it seemed to me toda there biden and joe biden? it seemed to me today there was _ biden and joe biden? it seemed to me today there was a _ biden and joe biden? it seemed to me today there was a real— biden and joe biden? it seemed to me today there was a real ease _ biden and joe biden? it seemed to me today there was a real ease they - biden and joe biden? it seemed to me today there was a real ease they had l today there was a real ease they had met each other on friday night at the g7. they had met before in the early 1980s when joe the g7. they had met before in the early 1980s whenjoe biden was a senator. the queen looked at ease and relaxed despite having these three busy days. the bidens looked at ease, talked easily around subject areas when they watch the guard of honour there. my sense there was a personal connection between them and it was successful. thank you for that. you can show over yours an image that has been released from inside. the queen, president biden and the first lady. there you go. all smiling broadly. that photograph inside the palace. eitherjust before orjust after they had tea together and a chance to become better acquainted after that meeting on the g7 out friday.

prior to that the queen had metjoe biden, that was back in the early 19805 biden, that was back in the early 1980s when he was senator biden of delaware. we can speak now to dr leslie vinjamuri, director of the us and the americas programme at chatham house. great to have you as always with us on bbc news. i know you very much believe that occasions like this, they elevate the relationship between the uk and the us. absolutely. you get a sense of solidity — absolutely. you get a sense of solidity especially when you have two world leaders that have been on the global— two world leaders that have been on the global stage for so long, clearly— the global stage for so long, clearly in very different capacities but for _ clearly in very different capacities but for decades. you have a sense of two individuals well very different are not_ two individuals well very different are not very partisan in their views — are not very partisan in their views. not only highlighting the longevity and the durability and frankly— longevity and the durability and frankly the non—nature of the us and uk relationship which is important in this_ uk relationship which is important in this current moment in history. but also _ in this current moment in history. but also for— in this current moment in history.

but also for president biden, the queen— but also for president biden, the queen is— but also for president biden, the queen is as popular as anybody in america — queen is as popular as anybody in america. this is a tremendous thing for americans to look to great britain — for americans to look to great britain and see their president meeting — britain and see their president meeting with the queen. it really is importantly hugely important. at a time when — importantly hugely important. at a time when the relationship has not been _ time when the relationship has not been easy, — time when the relationship has not been easy, when there have been a lot of— been easy, when there have been a lot of questions in the united states— lot of questions in the united states whether britain will continue to play— states whether britain will continue to play a _ states whether britain will continue to play a global role, how significant is it really going forward _ significant is it really going forward now that it is not in the european — forward now that it is not in the european union. sol forward now that it is not in the european union. so i think this visit _ european union. so i think this visit is — european union. so i think this visit is sort _ european union. so i think this visit is sort of mutually very beneficial, even though it's symbolic. it is not going to be heavily— symbolic. it is not going to be heavily about policy and it is also a pause — heavily about policy and it is also a pause in — heavily about policy and it is also a pause in what is an incredibly important _ a pause in what is an incredibly important set of visits, the g7 and going _ important set of visits, the g7 and going on— important set of visits, the g7 and going on to — important set of visits, the g7 and going on to europe and then to meet with the _ going on to europe and then to meet with the russian leader. it is a really— with the russian leader. it is a really special moment that sort of sets all— really special moment that sort of sets all of— really special moment that sort of sets all of that aside and says what

is important here is unity. we cannot— is important here is unity. we cannot underestimate the significance of it here. and how important _ significance of it here. and how important do — significance of it here. and how important do you _ significance of it here. and how important do you think - significance of it here. and how important do you think this - significance of it here. and howj important do you think this soft diplomacy between the uk and us is at a time when the relationship between the uk and the eu is clearly strained? i between the uk and the eu is clearly strained? ~ , , , strained? i think this is the big question- _ strained? i think this is the big question. well _ strained? i think this is the big question. well the _ strained? i think this is the big question. well the united - strained? i think this is the big i question. well the united states strained? i think this is the big - question. well the united states and the united kingdom look to each other— the united kingdom look to each other in— the united kingdom look to each other in setting not only the agenda about— other in setting not only the agenda about providing a unity in questions of security— about providing a unity in questions of security and intelligence and defence — of security and intelligence and defence. that seems more likely. with the — defence. that seems more likely. with the uk not in the european union _ with the uk not in the european union there is a concern that they us will_ union there is a concern that they us will lean into its relationships with germany and france and the european — with germany and france and the european union. what role does britain _ european union. what role does britain play? that concern while it is significant and legitimate, is perhaps— is significant and legitimate, is perhaps overplayed because at the end of— perhaps overplayed because at the end of the day the united states and kingdom _ end of the day the united states and kingdom have such clearly shared

understanding of each other and trust _ understanding of each other and trust i— understanding of each other and trust. i think the one thing though is can— trust. i think the one thing though is can these — trust. i think the one thing though is can these leaders, can they really— is can these leaders, can they really pass that torch onto the next generation — really pass that torch onto the next generation while they are leading. many— generation while they are leading. many people look to the queen, they look many people look to the queen, they took to— many people look to the queen, they look to president biden, they look to prime _ look to president biden, they look to prime ministerjohnson and don't necessarily— to prime ministerjohnson and don't necessarily see themselves elected in those _ necessarily see themselves elected in those images. so that will perhaps— in those images. so that will perhaps be the most important challenges that if the uk wants to stand _ challenges that if the uk wants to stand beside the united states and lead the _ stand beside the united states and lead the world. in stand beside the united states and lead the world.— lead the world. in terms of president _ lead the world. in terms of president biden's - lead the world. in terms ofj president biden's position, lead the world. in terms of. president biden's position, do lead the world. in terms of- president biden's position, do you think he really does see the relationship with the uk as special? he has used that term, special relationships, in advance to his visit to the uk, or is it more wrapped up in his desire to project to the rest of the world that america is back, diplomacy is back! i think it is both. i think president biden, there was that

moment— president biden, there was that moment yesterday when we can see it is difficult _ moment yesterday when we can see it is difficult. ireland is so important and the protocol on northern— important and the protocol on northern ireland, the peace process is so important to president biden and the _ is so important to president biden and the americans. there is a sense of potential— and the americans. there is a sense of potential risks and that could harm _ of potential risks and that could harm the — of potential risks and that could harm the special relationship. president biden has made that deeply clear. _ president biden has made that deeply clear. not— president biden has made that deeply clear, not only to prime minister johnson — clear, not only to prime minister johnson but to pretty much to everybody and it is shared widely across _ everybody and it is shared widely across the — everybody and it is shared widely across the us congress, across the american _ across the us congress, across the american electorate. so there is a concern _ american electorate. so there is a concern about where is britain going and what _ concern about where is britain going and what does it —— what is at stake — and what does it —— what is at stake he _ and what does it —— what is at stake. he has been in this game for a very— stake. he has been in this game for a very long — stake. he has been in this game for a very long time, he was elected senator— a very long time, he was elected senator decades ago in the early i970s— senator decades ago in the early i970s and — senator decades ago in the early 19705 and he knows the 5enator decades ago in the early 19705 and he knows the value of this relationship. but it has had difficult _ relationship. but it has had difficult patches. just relationship. but it has had difficult patches. just finally, do ou think difficult patches. just finally, do you think that _ difficult patches. just finally, do

you think that jill _ difficult patches. just finally, do you think that jill biden, - you think thatjill biden, considering everything that has been going on in the g7 between the uk and eu, do you think thatjoe biden can act, you know, he has expressed his views on ireland very clearly. do you think he can act almost as a bridge between the uk and the eu in some of these difficulties? if you listen closely _ some of these difficulties? if you listen closely to _ some of these difficulties? if you listen closely to the _ some of these difficulties? if you listen closely to the language, i some of these difficulties? if you listen closely to the language, it| listen closely to the language, it sounds — listen closely to the language, it sounds le55 listen closely to the language, it sounds less like he is seeking to play a _ sounds less like he is seeking to play a role _ sounds less like he is seeking to play a role. it sounds like president biden is aligned with the european — president biden is aligned with the european union on this question of the protocol and of the need to enforce — the protocol and of the need to enforce those checks as goods leave the uk _ enforce those checks as goods leave the uk and — enforce those checks as goods leave the uk and go into northern ireland, in order— the uk and go into northern ireland, in order for— the uk and go into northern ireland, in order for keeping that border open _ in order for keeping that border open it— in order for keeping that border open. it does not sound like the words _ open. it does not sound like the words of— open. it does not sound like the words of a — open. it does not sound like the words of a president seeking... it sounds _ words of a president seeking... it sounds like — words of a president seeking... it sounds like the words of a president who is— sounds like the words of a president who is clear— sounds like the words of a president who is clear on the situation. thank

at the g7 summit. in the final communique of the g7 summit — the leaders have confirmed that they'll be donating a billion doses of covid vaccine to poorer countries. and they've promised action on climate change including the raising of 100 billion dollars to help the developing world cut its carbon emissions. but the summit here has been overshadowed by simmering tension between the uk and france over post brexit trade arrangements in northern ireland. the british government says president emmanuel macron suggested last night that northern ireland was somehow not part of the united kingdom. mr macron's spokesman says he was merely pointing out it's subject to different rules under the brexit agreement. this is what borisjohnson had to say at his closing press conference. we will do whatever it takes to protect the territorial integrity of the uk, but actually what happened

at this summit was that there was a colossal amount of work on subjects that had absolutely nothing to do with brexit, and together with our european friends and partners we're launching all sorts of projects for the benefit of the world. borisjohnson boris johnson trying borisjohnson trying to play down those tensions with france and the european union. almost inevitably, the so—called "sausage war" trade dispute between the uk and eu came up in questions to the french president, emmanuel macron. he said he wanted "everybody to come back to reason" and "to put into operation" what britain and europe "decided upon a few months ago." here's more of what he said. translation: in france, - we have many towns, many regions and we make sausages everywhere and we're very proud of it and we love that.

so, you know, the toulouse sausage, but there are many other sausages as well. and i wouldn't want us to have a problem with strasberg or other regions, so we defend in fact french gastronomy, so, no, look, i'm being serious. we can't in fact create polemics on every disagreement every morning, on subject matter such as this. and he didn't leave it at that either. the president said brexit was a "child of british sovereignty" and the uk now needed to "respectfully" abide with its side of the agreement. translation: the prime minister, erjohnson was well aware at the l time, well aware at the time that there was a control issue and he himself signed the protocol of agreement of which desired for northern ireland, which does envisage controls. because in fact full respect of sovereignty including with regard to northern ireland, would in fact... one wouldn't be able

to have the non—respect of the 27 member states which was designed to create a single market with freedom of circulation. so one mustn't, in fact, make the european union have to deal with certain incoherences that one was well aware of at the beginning. also at the g7 summit, there has been a commitment to send hundreds of millions of doses of the coronavirus vaccine to developing countries within the next year — with the united states alone promising 500 million. here's us presidentjoe biden at his closing news conference. that's what the g7 is all about and rallying the world's

democracies to meet the challenges that the world faces, and deliver for our people and for people quite frankly everywhere and in a pandemic, and maintaining robust support for equitable and inclusive world economic recovery, were the top priorities of all nations as we got together. we know we can't achieve one without the other, that is we have to deal with the pandemic and in order to be able to deal with economic recovery, which, as we are doing in the states, but we committed we are going to doing more for the rest of the world as well. the fact is that we, the us contribution is the foundation, 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 dealing with reviving their economies if they were, in the first place, in good shape.

let's talk now to linda yueh, an author and economist at oxford university. so many key issues for the g7 leaders to talk about, getting out of the pandemic, post—pandemic economic recovery. leaders were saying these were some of the most important decisions in history that leaders have to take on climate change. how do you assess the relative successes and failures of the summit? i relative successes and failures of the summit?— the summit? i think the relative successes _ the summit? i think the relative successes are _ the summit? i think the relative successes are indeed _ the summit? i think the relative successes are indeed in - the summit? i think the relative successes are indeed in the - the summit? i think the relative l successes are indeed in the areas the summit? i think the relative - successes are indeed in the areas of global public good, so the environment is one of them. we see the creation of a 500 million fund which is intended to be helping developing countries where with climate change. you mentioned the donation of a billion doses of vaccine to try and vaccinate the world by the end of next year. of course, that is hugely significant because it is true the pandemic will because it is true the pandemic will

be with us until it has been eradicated everywhere and the fact that they were willing to put money behind it is extremely important because at the moment 130 countries in the world haven't yet start a vaccination programme. another area of relative success, the g7 has agreed to endorse this minimum tax from finance ministers. they have proposed supporting the global space system. that does not sound like a huge achievement but if you think back to the trump administration, that would not make it into the communicate. where there will be challenges is because these communicates are abroad brash. the g7 is a group of countries and an important group of countries. even though they included for other countries to attend, india, south africa, they have only started the ball running on a global consensus on things like the devolve space system, like what you do with global

goods, it is a good start and i think the us said it is the most consequential g7 that he can remember. but this is his first secretary of state.— remember. but this is his first secretary of state. you were saying there it isjust _ secretary of state. you were saying there it is just a _ secretary of state. you were saying there it isjust a group _ secretary of state. you were saying there it isjust a group of— there it is just a group of countries, one of the countries she seven does not include is china. when it comes to climate change, difficult to tackle global climate change without including china and the chinese put out a statement to date from the embassy in london. pouring cold water on the g7 saying their days where global decisions are dictated by a small group of countries are long gone. do you think the g7 is significant even though it doesn't include huge countries like china and india and so on? , , i: ., , countries like china and india and soon? , ,:: . so on? yes, the 620 does include china as well _ so on? yes, the 620 does include china as well as _ so on? yes, the 620 does include china as well as a _ so on? yes, the 620 does include china as well as a number- so on? yes, the 620 does include china as well as a number of- so on? yes, the 620 does include | china as well as a number of other emerging economies. but i think where problems are there is that the

6205 where problems are there is that the g20's was very in terms of funding the banking crash, but because of tensions between the us and china, disagreements between those two countries means there has not been a lot of progress in terms of multilateral efforts on these global goods, you can think the pandemic is one immediate example. where the g seven has growing relevance, there are countries with have similar economies and they do tend to have a commitment to this system and what they need to do in the next step is to get by ends. the global minimum tax, the g7 has proposed this. they need to go to the ocd whether hundred and 39 countries that are signed up to it. someone has to go and get the ball rolling. they don't represent the global economy as they once did, however they can build a

consensus on global issues and then try to get by on. i suspect a number of the issues, china would not be hugely happy with. maybe not based on the substance of them per se but because they want to be at the table. that goes to wyatt as we live in this world where there isn't a global consensus on some of the pressing issues of the day. you just have this big power tensions between the us and china and the g7 is one pluralistic way, one group of countries, an influential group of countries, an influential group of countries that try to make progress and get by. riff countries that try to make progress and netb. , countries that try to make progress anduetb. , . ., and get by. of course the criticism is it is and get by. of course the criticism huha and get by. of course the criticism is it is a talking _ and get by. of course the criticism is it is a talking shop. _ and get by. of course the criticism is it is a talking shop. there - and get by. of course the criticism is it is a talking shop. there is - and get by. of course the criticism is it is a talking shop. there is a i is it is a talking shop. there is a lot of rhetoric. borisjohnson said before it began that the g7 countries need to build back after the pandemic, build back fairer, build back greener. i passed a

banner saying, deeds not words. very briefly, do you think they g7 is going to stick tick its commitments? the commitments are essentially principles. on the venture, they agree we do not want to go back there to what we saw after the banking crash. there is not a lot of detail on what that means but it is a direction of travel. how the g7 should bejudged should be on how the employment policy to support people through the pandemic, to support growth while addressing potential issues around debt. they say the devil is in the detail. particularly for these big announcements, that is exactly where the devil is and where the g7 countries will be judged after the summit. countries will be 'udged after the summit. , ., ., ., countries will be 'udged after the summit. , ., ., ~' countries will be 'udged after the summit. , ., ., ,, ., summit. very good to talk to you, thank ou summit. very good to talk to you, thank you for— summit. very good to talk to you, thank you for your _ summit. very good to talk to you,

thank you for your analysis. - the uk prime minister is due to give an update tomorrow on lifting covid—19 restrictions in england. this morning, the foreign secretary said the vaccination programme had weakened the link between infections and the numbers needing hospital treatment. but others warn that going ahead with unlocking could "fan the flames" of the pandemic. our health correspondent jim reed has more. this is not really the position ministers wanted to be in this weekend. tomorrow a crucial decision needs to be made — whether to go ahead with the final stage of unlocking in england a week later. but the emergence of the delta — or india — variant has made that call more difficult. it now makes up almost all new cases and may be 60% more transmissible than the older kent — or alpha — strain. at the moment, infections are still far below the levels seen injanuary, but they have been

doubling every week in some parts of england and scotland. speaking on the andrew marr programme, a government adviser said relaxing restrictions further could fan the flames of the pandemic. the way i look at it is with, you know, if we're driving down a road and you're coming up to a bend and you're not quite sure what's around that bend but you think there might be something bad, you don't put your foot on the accelerator — if anything, you slow down, not speed up — and i think it's analogous to that. i think we've got to be really cautious. the key question is whether that rise in infections will lead to a significant spike in hospital admissions. surge testing and vaccinations should help prevent that, but just 56% of adults have had a second dose, leaving many millions not yet fully protected. ministers say the latest data on that link between rising cases and severe disease will be critical ahead of the decision

on whether to press ahead with unlocking onjune 21st. jim reed, bbc news. we will have much more from the g7 later on this evening. you have in watching bbc news. and later this evening at 8:40 we'll be answering your questions on easing coronavirus restrictions in england — as the government is due to make a decision tomorrow whether to fully unlock the country in just over a week's time. we'll be talking to public health experts and our own health correspondent so send in your questions using the hash tag bbc your questions or by emailing yourquestions@bbc. co. uk. now it's time for a look at the weather with susan powell. the weather here is absolutely

stunning. hello. after sunday's heat, a fresher story for some on monday. a pretty quiet start to the week in terms of our weather pattern, but it is going to get much livelier from wednesday evening onwards. thunderstorms already brewing up across the spanish plateau that will get pulled north, heading into our shores from wednesday evening onwards. at the moment we have a weather front to the far north—west of the uk. there is cooler, fresher air behind that, but for the majority, we go through sunday night sitting in a warm and muggy air mass. temperatures falling down no lower probably than the mid or even high teens in some spots. the front will bring some rain into scotland, i don't think we will give very much for northern ireland. it will be light and patchy by the time it moves its way into northern england, but it's cooler behind that front across northern scotland and in the cooler air, we are going to descend its way south across the uk as we move through monday.

during daylight hours though it doesn't get into southern britain, so we are still talking about a very warm, if not hot day, particularly across southern and eastern england, with temperatures close to 30 degrees. further north, temperatures eight, 9 degrees down on the figures we have seen on sunday — just 18, for example, in aberdeen. monday into tuesday, the weather front pulls away. we are all into slightly fresher air for tuesday and then we have got another area of low pressure trying to come into the north—west. it is a fine start, some early mist and fog burns off. by the afternoon, though, cloud and rain pushing into northern and western scotland, a little for northern ireland. consequently, it will be cooler here anyway, but temperatures generally across england and wales low to mid 20s. tuesday into wednesday is where it gets interesting. this low starts to work its way in. this low gets pulled up ahead of it from the south. up comes the humidity. this weather front upsets the apple cart and boom, later on wednesday, the perfect recipe to make thundery showers.

warm, muggy, humid across much of england and wales on wednesday. here is the front, it is just a dividing line basically with a few showers along it, between the cooler air sitting across scotland and northern ireland. it is through wednesday evening though, overnight into thursday and through thursday daytime, we will really see those thundery showers rattling away. some intense downpours to come and the potential for some local disruption.

hello, good evening, i'm austin hillwood with your latest sports news. there is only one place to begin. england have made the perfect start to euro 2020, beating world cup finalists croatia 1—0 at wembley in their opening group game this afternoon. manchester city's raheem sterling scoring the winner — his first goal for england at a major championship. well, let's go live to wembley now and speak

to olly foster, who's there for us. and, olly, it really was the ideal start for england, wasn't it? it really was, because croatia, on paper, the toughest team in england's group, in group d, the scots and czech republic to come, and honestly this is the croatia who three years ago knocked england out of the world cup. yes, england have beaten them since, but this is a very, very different england side, and gareth bale spit —— gareth southgate said he expected some from what was a very young and inexperienced side, but there was none of that. they dominated croatia, the wedding, frank raheem sterling ten minutes into the second half —— dominated croatia from the beginning. raheem sterling would you believe it scoring his first goal at a major championship. anotherfirst, a major championship. another first, a major championship. anotherfirst, a first england win in their opening match at a european championships, and this is their tenth european championships. so great relief and

satisfaction all round, and gareth southgate says that this just takes attention away from their next game against the scots on friday night. but first, let's hearfrom against the scots on friday night. but first, let's hear from the matchwinner, raheem sterling. it feels good, to be honest with you _ it feels good, to be honest with you i_ it feels good, to be honest with you. i always said if i played at wembley— you. i always said if i played at wembley at a major tournament, i'm scoring _ wembley at a major tournament, i'm scoring i_ wembley at a major tournament, i'm scoring. i said i have to score. it's scoring. i said i have to score. it's great _ scoring. i said i have to score. it's great to _ scoring. i said i have to score. it's great to finally do that. it's great _ it'5 great to finally do that. it's great to— it's great to finally do that. it's great to get off to a win, that's the most — great to get off to a win, that's the most important thing, now we've -ot the most important thing, now we've got the _ the most important thing, now we've got the games to look forward to and hopefully— got the games to look forward to and hopefully we going into that and win again _ hopefully we going into that and win aaain. ,, , . , . again. sterling very much silencing the doubters _ again. sterling very much silencing the doubters today. _ again. sterling very much silencing the doubters today. manager - again. sterling very much silencing. the doubters today. manager 6areth the doubters today. manager gareth southgate must be delighted with that as well because plenty of people have been questioning raheem sterling 's form manchester city, whether he should have started today but southgate made the call and it paid off. he but southgate made the call and it aid off. ~ but southgate made the call and it aid off. ,, ., but southgate made the call and it aid off. ~ ., ., paid off. he balked at that when he was question _ paid off. he balked at that when he was question whether _ paid off. he balked at that when he was question whether he _ paid off. he balked at that when he was question whether he had - was question whether he had justified his selection because we all know what a supreme player raheem sterling is, what he has done for manchester city in another premier league winning season. yes,

he has never scored a goal on a major stage at a major championship, he has put that to bed today but i thinkjust he has put that to bed today but i think just a he has put that to bed today but i thinkjust a fine selection if anything, the fact he put —— kept marcus rashford out of the side, jack grealish as well. you saw southgate going with him on one side, linking up brilliantly with mason mount and harry kane who came deeply from midfield, and on the other side phil foden, who has had a fantastic breakthrough season for manchester city. he could have scored the opening goal, hit a post in the first half as england really dominated. calvin phillips really brought alive as well playing a more advanced role alongside declan rice, who was sitting really deep. but yes, when it comes to sterling, yes, gareth southgate was asked about that as well. there were more issues in defence than perhaps all his attacking talents up top for gareth southgate, but he was certainly asked about his selection today. lam iamso i am so pleased for raheem sterling. he has— i am so pleased for raheem sterling. he has had _ i am so pleased for raheem sterling. he has had this hex can make you

more on england's win on the bbc sport website — as well as reaction from rolland garros where novak djokovic has just won the french open title. he beat stefanos tsitsipas in five sets in paris. and that's all of your sport for now. i'll have much more in sportsday at 7.45. bye for now.

england make an unprecedented winning start to their campaign in the euros. past one, then it too, then place it into raheem sterling! 1—0 was the final score against croatia at wembley — making this a first opening match euros win for england. delight for fans watching around the country — and for the goalscorer raheem sterling.

i've always said if i played at wembley and made the tournament, i'm scoring at wembley, in my back garden, i have to score. and it's great to finally do that. england's next game will be against scotland — who have their own opening group match tomorrow. also on the programme... g7 leaders end their summit in cornwall with pledges on covid vaccines, climate and china. the danish football team confirms that a cardiac arrest caused christian eriksen's collapse — he's now in a stable condition in hospital. and... the queen and the president — a royal welcome to windsorforjoe biden.

good evening. england have — for the first time — won an opening match in the european football championship. at wembley this afternoon — in front of 22,000 fans — they beat croatia 1—0 thanks to a second half goal from raheem sterling. it means gareth southgate's men have three points in the bag and a strong position in group d — with games against scotland and the czech republic to come. our sports editor, dan roan is live at wembley now. dan... on nine previous occasions england had tried and failed to win their opening game at 8 euros. on paper at least, this looked like their hardest match in the group against croatia, world cup finalists no less, and of course on the hottest day of the year so far. but gareth southgate cosmic side delivered. it may have only been a quarter full but with the sun—drenched wembley

hosting england at the major turning point again, many of those lucky enough to be cleared to enter, memories of those iconic euros 25 years ago were inevitable. # football is coming home. now a new generation will understand and help. england had shown a united front in the build—up. the fa are urging fans to respect the team's a ticking of the knee, and while some chill chose to do, it was swiftly drowned out by applause. phil foden is seen as the future of this team after a breakthrough season and afterjust five minutes he showed why. the hosts agonisingly close. another playing at his first major tournament kalvin phillips also impressing in england's encouraging start. but the leeds midfielder really made his mark in the second half, threading a pass through to raheem sterling who justified half, threading a pass through to raheem sterling whojustified his selection with a first goal at a major tournament. those watching on around the country erupting for the

first time. croatia were being made to look a shadow of the side that broke english hearts in the world cup semifinal three years ago. harry kane inches from doubling the lead. watching on, england's record goal—scorer wayne rooney no doubt impressed by a dominant performance. and he was about to witness a moment of history. since 17—year—old substitute jude of history. since 17—year—old substitutejude bellingham becoming the youngest player ever to appear at the european championships. croatia had a rare chance at the very end, but this was a deserved win for a ligue one side who had handled the heat and grown in stature. , ._ , ., stature. the player is dealt with the big occasion _ stature. the player is dealt with the big occasion really - stature. the player is dealt with the big occasion really well. - stature. the player is dealt with i the big occasion really well. right from the start, incredible heat, but they played well and they settled early in the game. there were moments where the tempo dropped just because of the heat and the majority of the game we were in control. didn't give them any opportunities and we looked dangerous. i am here with england. _ and we looked dangerous. i am here with england, enjoying _ and we looked dangerous. i am here with england, enjoying my— and we looked dangerous. i am here with england, enjoying my football. with england, enjoying my football and that— with england, enjoying my football and that is most important thing and i'm happy_ and that is most important thing and i'm happy to store. i always said if i'm happy to store. i always said if i played _ i'm happy to store. i always said if i played at — i'm happy to store. i always said if i played at wembley at a major turn

editor laura kuenssberg. ready for a fortifying early dip? borisjohnson wanted to show off the british seaside to the most powerful leaders in the world, but has ended up going headlong into a crash on the side with the french president, who it's claimed questioned whether northern ireland was really part of the uk. the spectacle of the summit seemed immaculate. the more bracing reality perhaps not so inviting. so, i know that the world was looking to us to project some of the selfishness and nationalistic approaches that have marred the initial global response to the pandemic. i do hope that we have lived up to some of the most optimistic of hopes and predictions. were you offended by president macron's comments in your meeting yesterday about northern ireland's place in the uk? i think it's the job of a government of the united kingdom to uphold the territorial integrity of the united kingdom.

i think it was a point i made to you yesterday, and actually that subject occupied a vestigial, vanishingly small proportion of our deliberations. and you've listed what you believe the achievements to be of this summit, but health and environmental campaigners are really clear that they hoped it would go further. do you wish you had been able to push your fellow leaders to give even greater commitments? $2.5 billion pledged for girls' education already, that's not half bad. and a new global campaign to help countries around the world to build back better, cleaner and greener. i think it's been a highly productive few days. this global gathering is important for all sorts of reasons. it seems a good first connection between the prime minister and the american president. but the uk and the eu seem stuck again, pointing the finger at each other over northern ireland. remember, as part of the brexit deal, it still has to follow some eu rules. the prime minister's frustration at how tightly brussels

wants them enforced, european leaders angered, believing the uk is trying to slide out of what it agreed. "honestly, we can't create disagreements every morning about these serious issues," said the french president. "we just want the agreement to be respected." but the american president's 12 vehicle convoy rolled out of this tiny cornish town. he wanted to leave behind a much bigger message, that after all the turbulence of trump, he wants to work with the rest of the world. i felt it wasn't about me, but it was about america. i felt a genuine sense of enthusiasm that america was back at the table and fully, fully engaged. big promises have been made on vaccines, on climate change, but there are blanks in the black and white over how those vows will be kept, and the cornish air certainly hasn't blown away brexit tensions.

but overall, this summit has been a major statement of intent from the most powerful politicians in the west, that after a year of crisis, countries can do more together than working apart. however spectacular surroundings, summits can't just be political love—ins. prime ministers and presidents may have ambition in common, but ideas can clash. postcard images don't make political problems disappear for good. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, cornwall. well, we will learn tomorrow what the government has decided should happen to the remaining covid restrictions in england onjune the 21st. the latest data on the virus shows eight deaths reported in the last 2a hours and 7,490 new infections. it means the average number of new cases per day in the last week was 7,145.

on vaccinations — just over 254,000 people received a first dose in the latest 24 hour period, which means over 41 and a half million people , or nearly 79% of uk adults — have had their first jab. just over 320,000 had a second jab meaning that nearly 30 million — or 56% of adults are fully vaccinated. as the debate continues about how restrictions can be safely eased at a time when new cases are rising — our health correspondent jim reed has been looking at the data in more detail. drinks and socialising outside this afternoon. tomorrow ministers must decide whether to let all remaining lockdown rules in england during the 21st, lockdown rules in england during the 215t, perhaps capping that limit of six people inside. the growth of the delta variant first found in india has made that call more difficult.

scientists think it may spread 60% faster than the older tent or alpha version. speaking on the andrew marr programme, a government adviser said relaxing rules further could fan the flames of the pandemic. the way i look at it is with, you know, if we're driving down a road and you're coming up to a bend and you're not quite sure what's around that bend but you think there might be something bad, you don't put your foot on the accelerator — if anything, you slow down, not speed up — and i think it's analogous to that. i think we've got to be really cautious. covid infections are still well below the level seen in january, covid infections are still well below the level seen injanuary, but they had been rising since some indoor mixing was allowed. this graph plots cases so you can more easily see the rate of growth. what scientists want to see is for that straight line to start curving round as transmission starts to slow down. if that doesn't happen, then at the current rate of growth we could see 15,000 cases a day by the start of

next week. the hope is that vaccines can prevent those cases turning into hospital admissions, can prevent those cases turning into hospitaladmissions, butjust 57% can prevent those cases turning into hospital admissions, butjust 57% of adults have had a second dose of the jab. most were safe working out how protected that leaves both the public and the nhs will be crucial ahead of that key decision tomorrow. jim reed, bbc news. the doctor for the danish football team has confirmed christian eriksen did suffer a cardiac arrest on the pitch yesterday — and that "he was gone" — prior to being resuscitated. the former tottenham star collapsed during denmark and finland's euros game — he is now recovering in hospital. nick beakejoins me now from copenhagen. these comments just show what a close call it was for christian eriksen. ~ ,,., , ., close call it was for christian eriksen. ~ , , ., close call it was for christian eriksen. ~ , ., , eriksen. absolutely. you can see the relief on the — eriksen. absolutely. you can see the relief on the faces _ eriksen. absolutely. you can see the relief on the faces of _ eriksen. absolutely. you can see the relief on the faces of the _ relief on the faces of the supporters tonight and one of the city's main fan zones. they are watching the action on the big screen but last night the images are horrifying for them and for everyone

watching the match. yesterday a press conference earlier today i asked the team doctorjust how close they were to losing christian eriksen and he said he was gone it was only when they used a defibrillator on the pitch, gave that very rapid medical response that very rapid medical response that they were able to bring him back, in his words. clearly for his team—mates, very dramatic. they have been offered psychological support. the head coach said today that actually in hindsight i shouldn't have finished the match, they shouldn't have returned to the pitch later on to do this. as for the player himself, he remains in hospital tonight, and top medics have said they have still not been able to ascertain why exactly he collapsed. israel's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, is expected to be ousted after 12 years in power later, as parliament is set to vote on a new government shortly. an unprecedented coalition of parties — has a majority ofjust one seat. the prospective government would end more than two years of political paralysis there, in which three elections resulted in stalemate.

president biden travelled from the g7 summit in cornwall this afternoon to windsor castle, to be welcomed by the queen for tea. it is nearly 70 years since the queen first met a serving us president — as our royal correspondent nicholas witchell reports. dropping in for tea. dropping infortea. how dropping in for tea. how very british. president biden cosmic helicopter brought him to a windsor castle geared up for a vip visit. in the quadrangle, the grenadier guards were being doled out by their sergeant major. once he was happy, the queen emerged from her castle to

take her place ready to receive the president and her first lady. take her place ready to receive the president and herfirst lady. when it comes to us presidents, no one has met more of them than the queen. president biden is the 13th she has created. that greeted. the guard of honour was inspected and then the president and first lady went inside for tea with the queen. a moment of hospitality between two heads of state. simple enough in itself it with a particular significance, underlining the bonds between two nations and their long alliance. before we go — while it has been a very good day for england in football — it was not so in cricket. at edgbaston, new zealand secured their first test series win on english soil in more than 20 years. the visitors needed just an hour this morning to reach their second innings target of 38 — having bowled england all out for 122 in their second innings. the comprehensive victory means new zealand take

the two—test series 1—0. there's more throughout the evening on the bbc news channel. we're back with the late news at ten. now on bbc one it's time for the news where you are. goodbye.

let's get more now on england's 1—0 win over croatia — in their opening game of the european championship at wembley. cheering and, well, this is how fans in leeds at a pub celebrated. as you can imagine, there were similar scenes in many different parts of the country. well, our reporter nick garnett was at that pub — and he spoke to a few of the fans there. they have been 300 fans here today, all are paying to come and sit down and watch on a huge screen to see what england could do in the first game. came to a win is welcome

across scotland, northern ireland, eventually arriving in northern england and north by which time there is not much rain left. a warm night for england and wales. east anglia, lincolnshire, the is midlands, temperatures might not be any lower than 17 or 18 degrees. not much rain left the northern england and north wales. that soon peters out, this band of cloud heads further south, eventually arriving in the south—east during the afternoon. some sunshine for a while but a lot of cloud coming into scotland and northern ireland. blustery showers in the north and west of scotland for particular. much lower temperatures as well, the cooler air moving down into much of england and wales but the south—east, east anglia, still very warm or hot, could get close to 30 degrees around the london area. that weather front could still keep some cloud in the south—east as we had to tuesday morning. otherwise, high pressure building from the azores ahead of another weather system, which will freshen the breeze across scotland and northern ireland, bring in more cloud and bring some rain into the north—west. england and wales, though, dry, a lot of

sunshine, not going to be as hot in the south—east but elsewhere across the south—east but elsewhere across the uk, those temperatures are starting to rise a bit. as we move into wednesday, our band of cloud and rain, what's left of it, moving away from scotland and northern ireland, heading into northern england and wales. plenty of sunshine ahead of that but cooler air still coming back into scotland and northern ireland. quite a contrast in temperatures here, because for many parts of england and wales, it will be getting quite hot and and wales, it will be getting quite hotand humid, and and wales, it will be getting quite hot and humid, and with that humidity, we could well trigger some thunderstorms later on wednesday, all the way into friday. the potential, particularly across more central and eastern parts of england for some torrential rain as well. that could start as early as wednesday night. thursday continues to see this risk of some thundery downpours, moving all the way up from france, cooler air though across many parts of the country. temperatures will be lower across the south—east and across scotland and northern ireland it is dry but it is much cooler.

this is bbc news. i'm ben brown, and i'm in falmouth where the g7 summit has concluded — member states have agreed to deliver more than a billion coronavirus vaccinations to poorer countries and promised concerted action on climate change. but tensions between britain and france over brexit threatened to overshadow the summit after emmanuel macron was accused of suggesting that northern ireland is not part of the uk. what i am saying is that we will do whatever it takes to protect the territorial integrity of the uk. i'm annita mcveigh, live at windsor — where us presidentjoe biden hasjust departed after meeting the queen.
