benjamin netanyahu's 12 year reign as prime minister is over — as the knesset approves a new coalition government. the briefest of handshakes sees a transfer of power. the new administration is headed for the first two years by the religious nationalist, naftali bennett. but there are tensions between britain and france over brexit, after emmanuel macron is accused of suggesting northern ireland isn't part of the uk at the g7. what i am saying is that we will do whatever it takes to protect the territorial integrity of the uk. the queen and the president — a royal welcome to

windsor, forjoe biden. hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world. i should say that i am ready now. let's start in israel, where in the last hour, the country's parliament has voted

to approve a new coalition government that ends benjamin netanyahu's 12—year run as prime minister. at the end of a fiery session lasting more than four hours, members of the knesset confirmed the new government will be headed for the first two years by the religious nationalist naftali bennett, who will then hand over the premiership to the centrist, yair lapid. our correspondent yolande knell is injerusalem. take us through the importance of this moment, please. this take us through the importance of this moment, please.— this moment, please. this is a really momentous _ this moment, please. this is a really momentous day - this moment, please. this is a really momentous day in - this moment, please. this is a | really momentous day in israeli politics, janes. first of all, we have through the end of an era, with benjamin netanyahu released for the moment. he has spent 15 years as prime minister in israel, the longest serving prime minister israel has ever seen and what as to thatis israel has ever seen and what as to that is the fact we have this very unlikely coalition, voted in by a razor—thin margin at the vote of confidence went through with 60 votes, yes, 59 votes against and one

abstention. it is made up from eight political parties across the political parties across the political spectrum, from the far right, that is where naftali bennett is located himself, across through to the left and for the first time the government is going to rely on the government is going to rely on the support of an independent arab—israeli party. now, what really galvanises these different parties is their opposition to benjamin netanyahu. they don't want him to continue as leader because the country has had now two years of political deadlock. it has locked up for elections and they have not been able to come up with a strong coalition government in those elections. this has really divided the country and it stems a lot from benjamin netanyahu himself, particularly that he is on trial for corruption, charges that he denies. for now it is very clear, the question is how does this coalition

government managed to push through legislation? it has laid out an agenda based on social and economic policies and she was going to continue on some foreign policy issues, looking for more normalisation, better relations with other arab countries and taking it very hard line comes to iran. i would like to ask a question that was last asked when 19 99 when benjamin netanyahu last lost power. is this it for benjamin netanyahu? he has said in his previous speech that he has come back twice before from being knocked into opposition. he is going to be a formidable opposition leader. somebody who also controls a quarter of the knesset, the parliamentary seat, with his own likud party. that is more than any other political party at the moment. and he has said that he is determined to return to power. 0ne determined to return to power. one of the that this new government is talking about trying pass is a term

limit for the prime minister, so that a future prime minister would only be able to serve a maximum of two terms, which would be eight years. could that affect benjamin netanyahu? it remains to be seen. yolande knell, thank you so much. i'm joined now by danny danon, former israeli ambassador to the united nations and chairman of world likud, the global wing of the likud party, which is led by mr netanyahu. danny danon, thanks so much for joining us. benjamin netanyahu has lost hisjob, he is about joining us. benjamin netanyahu has lost his job, he is about to joining us. benjamin netanyahu has lost hisjob, he is about to be evicted from his residence, he continues to face trial. how is he going to spend his time?- continues to face trial. how is he going to spend his time? james, we are very proud _ going to spend his time? james, we are very proud of — going to spend his time? james, we are very proud of our _ going to spend his time? james, we are very proud of our democracy, i going to spend his time? james, we | are very proud of our democracy, but we have witnessed it tonight in a peaceful transition of power and proved that we are as fond of democracy, may be the only one in our region. democracy, may be the only one in our region-— our region. sorry, 'ust to “ump in, itake our region. sorry, 'ust to “ump in, i take that h our region. sorry, 'ust to “ump in, t take that you b our region. sorry, just to “ump in, i take that you disagree _ our region. sorry, just to jump in, i take that you disagree with - our region. sorry, just to jump in, i take that you disagree with mr. i take that you disagree with mr netanyahu, your leader, in recent

days, who said this was the greatest fraud of the century, your new government?— fraud of the century, your new government? ., ., ., ~ government? no, what he meant... a very specific — government? no, what he meant... a very specific commitment _ government? no, what he meant... a very specific commitment not - government? no, what he meant... a very specific commitment not to - government? no, what he meant... a very specific commitment not to join l very specific commitment not to join forces with the left in israel, who just did, but technically, legally, a legal perspective, and you would expect tomorrow benjamin netanyahu will meet with the leader elect and it will be peaceful.— it will be peaceful. yes, that is the way you — it will be peaceful. yes, that is the way you handle _ it will be peaceful. yes, that is the way you handle your - it will be peaceful. yes, that is - the way you handle your democracy, but i wonder at the special praise for that, when every transfer of power has been peaceful for many years and that has been taken for granted. at the ballot box, a lot of the voters shared mr netanyahu's views, but a lot of them didn't like him himself. politics is about relationships as well as policies. why did he fail so badly in personal

relationships that four of his allies, at least in ideological terms, are now in the government that got rid of him? i terms, are now in the government that got rid of him?— that got rid of him? i want to mention some _ that got rid of him? i want to mention some of _ that got rid of him? i want to mention some of his - that got rid of him? i want to - mention some of his achievements while he was in office... gk. mention some of his achievements while he was in office. . ._ while he was in office... 0k, well we went through _ while he was in office... 0k, well we went through a _ while he was in office... 0k, well we went through a lot _ while he was in office... 0k, well we went through a lot of- while he was in office... 0k, well we went through a lot of the - we went through a lot of the achievements. the question i have asked you that you have kindly agreed to come in the programme and the question i have asked you... would you mind me asking the question again? the question i would ask you because you have agreed to the programme... we ask you because you have agreed to the programme...— ask you because you have agreed to the programme... we give credit for the programme... we give credit for the prime minister _ the programme... we give credit for the prime minister for _ the programme... we give credit for the prime minister for his _ the programme... we give credit for the prime minister for his service . the prime minister for his service and today we will continue to serve the government and the people of israel, but not from the position of the prime minister. he will do it as leader of the opposition and he will try to come back with the position of the prime minister. you try to come back with the position of the prime minister.— of the prime minister. you say he willt to of the prime minister. you say he will try to come — of the prime minister. you say he will try to come back _ of the prime minister. you say he will try to come back and - of the prime minister. you say he will try to come back and i - of the prime minister. you say he will try to come back and i do - will try to come back and i do appreciate that, but i would still like to be able to ask the question about the personal leadership failures. he will come back, but how could he come back when he has

alienated so many of his former allies? these are not people who opposed his policies, but former allies, like naftali bennett, people who now sit in the coalition low government because he alienated them. ., , ., ~ , government because he alienated them. ., , .,~ , , them. so... he made mistakes, but when ou them. so... he made mistakes, but when you serve _ them. so... he made mistakes, but when you serve in _ them. so... he made mistakes, but when you serve in office _ them. so... he made mistakes, but when you serve in office for - them. so... he made mistakes, but when you serve in office for 12 - when you serve in office for 12 years you have enemies, political enemies, who want to bid you back to margaret thatcher in long service. other leaders when they stay in other leaders when they stay in office for long, yes, they create issues, people who do not want to stay in power, and that is the situation today. the majority of voters wanted benjamin netanyahu to continue, but like you mention, the head of the other parties didn't want to collaborate with him and thatis want to collaborate with him and that is why today we see a very bizarre government, a coalition of

60 votes out of 120 and you see the left and right going together and they have only one thing in common. the desire to remove netanyahu. they achieved it tonight, probably the first and last achievement of this government. first and last achievement of this government-— first and last achievement of this government. first and last achievement of this tovernment. , ., , government. danny danon, it has been very interesting — government. danny danon, it has been very interesting to _ government. danny danon, it has been very interesting to speak— government. danny danon, it has been very interesting to speak to _ government. danny danon, it has been very interesting to speak to you, - very interesting to speak to you, thank you so much for coming on bbc news, we really appreciate it. thank ou so news, we really appreciate it. thank you so much- _ let me show you these pictures from brussels. president biden arrived a short while ago in the belgian capital for a nato summit. that's him on air force one. it is worth saying that mr biden has also come out with a statement supporting the formation of that new government. earlier today mr biden and his fellow g7 leaders ended theirfinal day of their summit in cornwall i , from where my colleague ben brown nowjoins us. thank you very much, and indeed mr

biden a central part of that g7 summit here in cornwall, which is ended here today after three days and it ended with a final communique, which included a promise of1 billion covid vaccine doses to help the poorest in the world to fight the pandemic. and more action on climate change. the gathering was also an opportunity for smaller meetings, with divisions between the uk and the eu on post—brexit arrangements in northern ireland. those tensions have soured somewhat the atmosphere at this g7 summit. from st ives, here's our political 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 clash 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. i know that the world was looking to us to reject 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 the 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 this vestigial, vanishingly small proportion of our deliberations. and you've listed what you believe to be the achievements of this summit. but health and environmental campaigners are really clear that they hoped it would go further. do you wish you'd 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 — 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 presidents' 12—vehicle convoy rolled out to 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. 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 the 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. let's go to london, where i am joined now by anne mcelvoy from the economist and stephanie baker, who is a senior writer at bloomberg. the spat between the french and the british seems to have started when borisjohnson asked president macron, how would you feel if sausages from toulouse couldn't be sold in paris? to what extent do you think that it has soured the atmosphere here at the summit? weill. atmosphere here at the summit? well, i think that atmosphere here at the summit? well, i think that is — atmosphere here at the summit? well, i think that is one _ atmosphere here at the summit? well, i think that is one of _ atmosphere here at the summit? well, i think that is one of the _ atmosphere here at the summit? -ii i think that is one of the things that we take away from it, that you can't wish away very difficult trade deal niceties and complexities by giving everyone a very nice time at the beach, which it turned out he did, ithink in the

the beach, which it turned out he did, i think in the optics for this it was a very upbeat summit and number ten should take great credit from that. i think the difficulty here was that you have the uk seen as dragging its feet on trying to resolve the northern ireland protocol, which is very hard to come up protocol, which is very hard to come up with a working solution. you have the eu a bit using it as a stick to beat britain with about its lack of post—brexit arrangements, and it ended up in an argument, with france saying that it doesn't include northern ireland as part of the uk and the uk saying it does include northern ireland, which was a bit of an arcane disagreement really, if you were talking about sausages and fish and the next thing. find fish and the next thing. and stephanie. _ fish and the next thing. and stephanie, the leaders heard from sir david attenborough this morning and he was saying about climate change, the decisions they are making are some of the biggest decisions in human history. when you

set the so called sausage war against that, it seems like rather small beer, doesn't it? i do against that, it seems like rather small beer, doesn't it?— small beer, doesn't it? i do note that the g7 _ small beer, doesn't it? i do note that the g7 final _ small beer, doesn't it? i do note that the g7 final statement, - small beer, doesn't it? i do note that the g7 final statement, the | that the g7 final statement, the communique, fell short on a number of climate _ communique, fell short on a number of climate change initiatives that many _ of climate change initiatives that many had — of climate change initiatives that many had hoped to see in it. one was an agreement on a move to zero emission— an agreement on a move to zero emission vehicles, an agreement amongst — emission vehicles, an agreement amongst all the leaders there, as well amongst all the leaders there, as weii as_ amongst all the leaders there, as well as failure to reach an agreement on a timetable for the ending of the use of coal, so while there _ ending of the use of coal, so while there were — ending of the use of coal, so while there were some good agreements, many— there were some good agreements, many felt _ there were some good agreements, many felt they could have gone further — many felt they could have gone further on climate change initiatives.— initiatives. and some people feel they could have gone _ initiatives. and some people feel they could have gone further on | initiatives. and some people feel. they could have gone further on the pandemic as well. a promise of1 billion vaccine doses, with the world health organization saying actually they need 11 billion to vaccinate 70% of the world's

population. i vaccinate 7096 of the world's population-— population. i think the real tolitical population. i think the real political difficulty - population. i think the real political difficulty here - population. i think the real political difficulty here is l population. i think the reall political difficulty here is we population. i think the real- political difficulty here is we are looking at a potential third wave, evenin looking at a potential third wave, even in england, wales and scotland, to say nothing of northern ireland, fits into that, is that you have got ijy fits into that, is that you have got by ministers who are trying to make domestic opinion stick to them and take their public opinion forward, this reopening on the 21st ofjune was going to go ahead and now may not, so it is definitely true that we need a bigger roll—out across the world. the message is getting home to the big world leaders that the reason we are getting these second, third and fourth waves coming at us is the fact that the pandemic is spreading in parts of the world where vaccination programmes are not speeding ahead. but it is nonetheless a very difficult task to say of leaders, hold on your own vaccination programme while we go and deal with something further away. i think this was a first step. i think it is neither true, the

number ten story, there's this amazing amount of vaccines through the covax programme, it isn't an amazing matter vaccines, does not really enough. it was interesting listening to gordon brown, well, what would you have done if you were promised a? would you really have rolled this out as fast? it is really easy to be critical about this when you're not in office, it is rather harder when you have to go back and face your own political electorate as prime minister. find electorate as prime minister. and stephanie. _ electorate as prime minister. and stephanie. i— electorate as prime minister. and stephanie, i think it's fair to say that borisjohnson hoping the summit would showcase what he sees as post—brexit global british diplomacy, in the sense that here they were, the g7 leaders, in the uk, in beautiful cornwall, beautiful weather, and then later the cop26 in this year in britain as well. what do think this did for british diplomacy?— do think this did for british di-loma ? ., , ., diplomacy? certainly the optics were fantastic, diplomacy? certainly the optics were fantastic. and _ diplomacy? certainly the optics were fantastic, and he _ diplomacy? certainly the optics were fantastic, and he did _

president biden travelled from the g7 summit in cornwall this afternoon to windsor castle, to be welcomed by the queen for tea. it's nearly 70 years since she met a serving us president for the first time — as our royal correspondent nicholas witchell reports. dropping in for tea. how very british. president biden's helicopter brought him to a windsor castle geared up for a vip visit. stand still! in the quadrangle, the grenadier guards were being bawled at by their sergeant major. stand still! once he was happy, the queen emerged from her castle to take her place on the dais, ready to receive the president and the first lady. when it comes to us presidents, no—one has met more of them

than the queen — president biden is the 13th she's 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. there isjust there is just about there isjust about it there is just about it from there isjust about it from our coverage _ there isjust about it from our coverage of the g7 summit here in cornwatt — coverage of the g7 summit here in cornwall. let's get our full sports round-up— cornwall. let's get our full sports round—up foryou. here's karthi. england have made a good start to euro 2020. they beat world cup finalists crostia 1—nil at wembley in their opening group game. manchester city's raheem sterling scoring the winner — his first goal for england at a major championship. it's the first time england have won their first match at a european championship and sterling with his goal, repaid the england manager, garteh southgate's decision

to put him in the starting team... it feels good, to be honest with you. i have always said if i played at wembley in a major tournament, i am scoring at wembley, i have to score, and it is great to finally do that. it is great to get off to a win. now we have got another game to look forward to and will go to that and win again. there are two matches in group c on sunday. earlier, austria beat north macedonia — who are making their first appearance at a european championship — 3—1. that was austria's first ever win at the euros. the netherlands are currently taking on ukraine and in the last few minutes the netherlands have gone in front with two goals in six minutes. georginio wijnaldum opened the scoring on 52 minutes and after a var check wout weghorst�*s goal was allowed to make it 2—0 to the netherlands. the denmark team doctor says christian erikksen suffered a cardiac arrest during denmark's match against finland yesterday. eriksen remains in a stable condition in hospital and has sent a message to his teammates this morning. the game was postponed for around two hours yesterday, after eriksen collapsed

on the pitch. the game resumed when the danish players decided they wanted to finish the game, which they lost 1—0. former denmark goalkeeper peter schmeichel criticised the decision by uefa to ask the danish players to choose whether to restart the game immediately or finish it at lunchtime on sunday. schmeichel said it was "absolutely ridiculous" and a different scenario should have been offered. maybe we should just have gone in the bus— maybe we should just have gone in the bus and went home and see what the bus and went home and see what the next _ the bus and went home and see what the next day would have brought, but that is— the next day would have brought, but that isjust _ the next day would have brought, but that isjust my feeling now, but i think— that isjust my feeling now, but i think it _ that isjust my feeling now, but i think it was _ that isjust my feeling now, but i think it was a very, very tough decision _ think it was a very, very tough decision. some tough message that the players had to try to make a decision. — the players had to try to make a decision, so... i know it is difficult. _ decision, so... i know it is difficult, but i have a sense that it was _ difficult, but i have a sense that it was wrong that the players were given _ it was wrong that the players were given this — it was wrong that the players were given this situation. novak djokovic is the french open champion for the second time...

the world number one fought back from two sets down to beat stefanos tsitsipas in 5 sets, after more than four hours on the paris clay. it's djokovic's 19th grand slam title and it moves him just one behind the men's record jointly held by roger federer and rafael nadal unforgettable matches, unforgettable moments, for me, for my career and my life. i definitely remember these last 48 hours for the rest of my life and i can relate to what he is going through, i understand how difficult that is losing in the finals of a grand slam and, you know, these are the kinds of occasions at matches that you learn from the most, i think, and knowing him and his team he is going to come out much stronger. that him and his team he is going to come out much stronger.— out much stronger. that is it from the sports — out much stronger. that is it from the sports centre _ out much stronger. that is it from the sports centre for— out much stronger. that is it from the sports centre for now. - out much stronger. that is it from the sports centre for now. you'rel the sports centre for now. you're watching bbc news.

hello there, 28 degrees at wembley today and the warmest day of the year so far in northern ireland, but for many parts of the country tomorrow will be cooler, the fresher air to the north—west of this band of cloud here. that has been bringing wetter weather tour scotland and northern ireland and cumbria as well. that band of cloud will take some rain southwards across scotland and northern ireland, eventually arriving in northern england and wales, by which time not much rain left. cooler air coming into scotland and northern ireland, but a warm night for england and wales. eastern midlands the temperatures may not be any lower than 17 or 18. not much rain left for northern england and wales, that peters out and this band of cloud head further south, eventually arriving in the south—east during the afternoon. some sunshine for a while, but a lot of code coming to scotland and northern ireland, blustery showers in the north and west of scotland in particular and that cooler air moving down into

much of england and wales, but the south—east and east anglia still very warm, close to 30 degrees around the london area. that weather front could still keep some cloud in the south—east as we come to tuesday morning, otherwise high pressure building from the azores ahead of another weather system that will freshen the breeze across scotland and northern ireland, bring in more cloud and some rain into the north—west. england and wales, though, dry, a lot of sunshine, not as hot on the south—east, but elsewhere in the uk but temperatures are rising a bit on to say. as we move on into wednesday, our band of cloud and rain, what is left of it is 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 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 folsom torrential rain as well. that could start as early as wednesday night. thursday continues to see this risk of some fun downpours moving all the way up from france, cooler air pots many parts of the country, temperatures lower across the south—east and scotland and northern ireland drier, but much cooler.
