the bidens at windsor. the doctor for the danish football confirms that christian eriksen did suffer a cardiac arrest on the pitch yesterday — and that "he was gone" before being resuscitated. hello and welcome if you are watching in the uk or around the world. the israeli parliament has approved a new coalition government, ousting benjamin netanyahu as prime minister after 12 years in power. the new administration will share power. for the first two years, it will be led by the right—wing nationalist politician naftali bennett. he will then hand power over to yair lapid, the leader of the centrist

yesh atid, for a further two years. here's our middle east correspondent tom bateman. they've waited for 12 years. in this divided country, for the people who wanted to oust their most enduring leader, now it's their moment. it took a chaotic vote in israel's parliament to get there. with the count about to start, mr netanyahu makes one last stand. "iran is celebrating because they understand there will be a weak and slack government," he says. "the opposition in israel will have a clear and strong voice." we'll be back soon! the new coalition scraped in byjust a single vote. it was all over for israel's combative, often controversial leader, one who leaves

an indelible legacy. benjamin netanyahu rose rallying israelis against the oslo peace deals with the palestinians. there is a battle forjerusalem... he was a figurehead for the right. supporters saw him as mr security. but opponents despised his tough brand of nationalism. he won successive elections, but he split voters. and a trial for corruption, claims he denies, left him increasingly isolated. israel's new pm is mr netanyahu's former aide, naftali bennett — a nationalist who opposes a future palestinian state. he called for unity, but laid into those he said were tearing the country apart. after two years, he'll hand over to the centrist yair lapid. how long will the coalition last? israel's new coalition spans the left to the nationalist right and, for the first time,

an arab—israeli party. naftali bennett now has to lead the broadest coalition in israeli history, and that could make it one of the most unstable. he has his work cut outjust to govern. they have a crisis to deal with. after israel's recent war with hamas in gaza and violent division inside israel, fears are rising of new tensions again. but this is a moment of israeli history, as the throne is pulled away from the politician some called the king of israel. tom bateman, bbc news, jerusalem. the new israel pm bennett has already spoken to president biden, describing him as a "great friend of israel". he has also been invited to visit the us. meanwhile, president biden has arrived in the belgian capital brussels for two days of meetings with nato and the european union. monday's talks with the 28 members of nato are expected to see the united states

resume its traditional leadership role, which had been somewhat diminished during the trump presidency. nato leaders are expected to formulate a firm message for mr biden to take to geneva on wednesday, where he will meet president putin. commenting on the weekend's g7 summit, mr biden said it had been an extraordinarily collaborative and productive meeting. well, that g7 summit in cornwall ended with a final communique that included the promise of a billion covid vaccine doses to the poorer nations of the world, more action on climate change, too. the gathering was also an opportunity for smaller meetings, with divisions between the uk and the eu on post—brexit arrangements in northern ireland. 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 president's 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'tjust 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. laura kuenssberg reporting there. the g7 nations also agreed to step up action on climate change. they renewed a pledge to raise $100 billion a year to help poor countries cut emissions. and the leaders also promised to help developing countries move away from coal, which is the world's dirtiest major fuel. but a coalition of 75 charities accused the leaders of a historic missed opportunity to come up with measures to cut carbon emissions. and we're bitterly disappointed to see the lack of action that's needed. these are seven of the most powerful countries in the world. what they do matters. and when they decide to do very little and look at spin

instead of substance, to cook the books, to cook the planet, and that's just not good enough. so, yes, we're really disappointed. they could've done a lot more and they failed. in new york is nathaniel keohane, who served as special assistant for energy and environment under former president barack obama. hello to you, thanks very much for joining us. criticism there from one charity, and there are others who believe that the g7 have not gone far enough. how would you some of the commitments that the g7 communique has made to climate change? i communique has made to climate chance? ~ ., , , change? i think in a sense, it de-ends change? i think in a sense, it depends on _ change? i think in a sense, it depends on what _ change? i think in a sense, it depends on what lens - change? i think in a sense, it depends on what lens you . change? i think in a sense, it| depends on what lens you are change? i think in a sense, it- depends on what lens you are looking through. decreases him just heard, quite rightly if you look at what was committed against the urgency of the climate crisis, one has to say we need much, much more. we did much more concrete action. having said that, if you look at this in the

context of the sort of communiqu s that come out of the g7 and the g20, i think it is! quite strong, good signs in the right direction about commitments on finance, on cutting emissions and on making progress towards what is going to be needed in terms of those concrete actions. in a sense it depends on which lens you're through. in a sense it depends on which lens you're through-— in a sense it depends on which lens you're through. in a sense it depends on which lens ou're throu~h. ,, ., , ., you're through. sure. commitments to finance in terms _ you're through. sure. commitments to finance in terms of— you're through. sure. commitments to finance in terms of helping _ finance in terms of helping developing countries move away from fossil fuels but no specifics, and given the level of urgency that many are pointing to, as regards to climate emergency, don't we need for —— specifics and shall we not be getting that now? i -- specifics and shall we not be getting that now?— -- specifics and shall we not be getting that now? i will see two thins getting that now? i will see two things there- — getting that now? i will see two things there. there _ getting that now? i will see two things there. there were - getting that now? i will see two things there. there were some | things there. there were some specifics in terms ofjoy commitments, a joint commitment to more than half emissions by 2030 on the way to net zero by 2050. most of the way to net zero by 2050. most of the countries have already made those, but this was a joint

commitment kind of reinforcing that. on finance, not the kind of dollar 0n finance, not the kind of dollar amounts that developing countries are looking for but a systemic approach that really was very far—reaching, talked about nature based finance, and immediate and this year to coal power generation finance, and very important step come and put $2 billion in new money on the table to help accelerate coal, talked more broadly by phasing out fossil fuels as well and talked about green for structure throughout the world, so some good signs, some bright signs there, even though much more is going to be needed in the months to come. i5 more is going to be needed in the months to come.— more is going to be needed in the months to come. is there any point talkin: months to come. is there any point talking about _ months to come. is there any point talking about climate _ months to come. is there any point talking about climate change - months to come. is there any point. talking about climate change without talking about climate change without talking to china? at}! talking about climate change without talking to china?— talking to china? of course china is the world's — talking to china? of course china is the world's largest _ talking to china? of course china is the world's largest emitter, - talking to china? of course china is the world's largest emitter, it - talking to china? of course china is the world's largest emitter, it is . the world's largest emitter, it is larger now than the us, japan and de you combined, and of course the summit is some of the democracies and we saw a lot of strong words about china, so i think were going to need... —— the eu. we are going to need... —— the eu. we are going to see president biden and others walking this line of annoying the

need to work with china as they rode's largest emitter and need to continue to push china as it is doing to turn the corner or as soon as possible peak their emissions and turned them down but as the same time as being quite tough with china and some other measures, so that walking of that line and how will they do it is going to be a key issue not only on global diplomacy and also on the climate.— issue not only on global diplomacy and also on the climate. sure. how difficult do — and also on the climate. sure. how difficult do you _ and also on the climate. sure. how difficult do you think _ and also on the climate. sure. how difficult do you think it _ and also on the climate. sure. how difficult do you think it is _ and also on the climate. sure. how difficult do you think it is clear - difficult do you think it is clear before president biden to sell these commitments to congress coachella this is kind of the key, right? == this is kind of the key, right? -- ella this is kind of the key, right? -- yelia make _ this is kind of the key, right? » yella make this kind of the key for us to all of that concrete action needs to happen in countries. the g7 is not going to be making those concrete commitments. those steps have to be policies put in place by the countries. biden has laid out a very ambitious and for such a plan, but he's going to need to push, and the white house will need to push, to get that in for church planter congress. they're going to need to lean, to get all the votes they can, that whatever�*s passed this year is

making major investments in a cleaner energy economy for the us that will help meet some of these goals. that will help meet some of these coals. �* , ., ., ., goals. but is he going to get that? has he not goals. but is he going to get that? has he got the _ goals. but is he going to get that? has he got the votes _ goals. but is he going to get that? has he got the votes to _ goals. but is he going to get that? has he got the votes to do - goals. but is he going to get that? has he got the votes to do it? - goals. but is he going to get that? has he got the votes to do it? it i goals. but is he going to get that? has he got the votes to do it? it isj has he got the votes to do it? it is interesting- _ has he got the votes to do it? it is interesting. if _ has he got the votes to do it? it is interesting. if you _ has he got the votes to do it? it 3 interesting. if you look at what is happening the congress in the past week or half or so, biden has fully pivoted from saying we are good way for the republicans to make a deal, it was very clear the republicans in the white house were just too far apart —— their publicans and the white house. there are some back deals going on, but democrats are expected to move ahead with a major introductory package along the lines what president biden has committed to, and if they can get that through with 50 democrats in the senate, along with the control of the house, i think they will be to put in place at least an important first couple of steps to make those investments. much more is going to be needed in the coming years, and that's what is a real commitment any kind of whole of government approach from the bite in the ministration that he said he

is willing to do, but we will have to see come through. {lita is willing to do, but we will have to see come through. 0k, nathaniel keohane, it — to see come through. 0k, nathaniel keohane, it is _ to see come through. 0k, nathaniel keohane, it is good _ to see come through. 0k, nathaniel keohane, it is good to _ to see come through. 0k, nathaniel keohane, it is good to talk- to see come through. 0k, nathaniel keohane, it is good to talk to - to see come through. 0k, nathaniel keohane, it is good to talk to you. l the uk government will announce on monday whether or not covid restrictions in england will be lifted onjune 2ist. there are reports that a delay of up to four weeks is being considered. the main concern is the increase in cases linked to the delta varient and the potential impact on hospitals in the coming weeks. 0ur health correspondent jim reed has been looking at the data in more detail. drinks and socialising outside this afternoon. tomorrow, the government must decide whether to lift all remaining lockdown rules in england from june 21st, perhaps scrapping 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 kent — 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, if you're driving down a road and you are coming up to a bend and you are 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 levels seen injanuary, but they have 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 the vaccine roll—out can prevent those new cases turning into hospital admissions.

there are about half as many people in hospital now across the uk, based on our infection rate, than what you would expect. and the reason for that is the older groups — who were more likely to go into hospital — have had both doses of the vaccine. the data shows a second vaccine dose provides far more protection against the delta variant than just one. scientists say it's why a delay to that final stage of unlocking might be needed to give more time to getjabs into arms this summer. jim reed, bbc news. you are watching bbc news. our top stories for you. israel's parliament has voted to approve a new coalition government that ends benjamin netanyahu's 12—year run as prime minister. it will be headed for the first two years by the religious nationalist naftali bennett. g7 leaders have ended their summit in england with promises of more than a billion coronavirus vaccinations to poorer countries, and help to tackle climate change.

governments in the asia pacific region that have so far pursued a zero tolerance to the covid—i9 virus are now looking at adopting a new policy. some are wondering if they should let the virus in and learn to live with it, albeit under managed conditions. countries like singapore, hong kong, taiwan, australia and new zealand have experienced very few deaths due to covid. but it comes at a high price to personal freedom and travel, with strict measures like border controls, quarantine and swift lockdowns. i'm joined now from singapore byjames crabtree, executive director in asia of the international institute for strategic studies. hello to you. thanks for being with us. why the change of policy exactly on the part of some of these governments? i on the part of some of these governments?— on the part of some of these covernments? ., ., ~' on the part of some of these covernments? ., ., ~ , governments? i do not think there is et a governments? i do not think there is yet a change — governments? i do not think there is yet a change of _ governments? i do not think there is yet a change of policy, _ governments? i do not think there is yet a change of policy, i _ governments? i do not think there is yet a change of policy, i think- yet a change of policy, i think there is a rethink, and they're

heading towards a change of policy also the problem be the one you identified, that there is something akin to a covid winter's curse, where countries like taiwan, australia, new zealand who have effectively manage to suppress covid now realise they cannot do this forever, as this disease becomes endemic globally, it is impossible to stick with a zero covid goal, and so they're trained to work out how they make this change and how they explain it to their populations. it is a dangerous potentially transition from 0—tolerance to allowing an element of it in the different societies. i mean, how can any country control the amount of covid that comes in an that way? i think the first thing you want to say is they are in a much better position and american countries, japan and south korea have a 2000

deaths, the uk had 120,000, so the record remains very good and you would rather be where they are than where the others are. how do you make this transition? you have full vaccination for a start, then you probably have ubiquitous testing, noninvasive testing, not the testing that goes up your nose, but testing of other sorts that is easier to manage, and you keep a very close eye on the numbers, and if they get out of control, then you have periodic lockdowns in order to bring them back down to a manageable level. ., ., ~' them back down to a manageable level. ., ., ~ ., ., .. level. you talk about vaccine roll-outs _ level. you talk about vaccine roll-outs being _ level. you talk about vaccine roll-outs being critical - level. you talk about vaccine roll-outs being critical and i level. you talk about vaccine - roll-outs being critical and having roll—outs being critical and having as many members of different populations vaccinated as possible. how would you sum up how well southeast asia has done in that regard? southeast asia has done in that reaard? �* , . southeast asia has done in that reaard? ~ , ., ., southeast asia has done in that reaard? a ., ., , southeast asia has done in that reaard? ., , ., southeast asia has done in that reaard? a ., ., , ., ., regard? asia in general is not doing as well as europe _ regard? asia in general is not doing as well as europe and _ regard? asia in general is not doing as well as europe and north - regard? asia in general is not doing l as well as europe and north america. singapore, where i am a cup is doing pretty well, as well as the european countries, about a third of people

and finland�*s euros game. he is now recovering in hospital. nick beake reports from copenhagen. the heartfelt messages were to get well soon. a show of strength for christian eriksen, who was awake, even asking about his team—mates. everyone here at this euro 2020 fan zone knew it could have been so different. hearing that he�*s in good shape and he actually had some conversations with the team and so on, it�*s fantastic. that�*s the only thing that matters to us, christian�*s health. yeah, the football is secondary today. 100%. that sense of relief has been shared by football fans the world over. that�*s because today we got confirmation, if it were needed, ofjust how serious the situation was. earlier, we asked denmark�*s team doctor how close they were to losing christian eriksen. yeah, what should i say? he was... he was gone. and we did cardiac resuscitation, and it was a cardiac arrest.

how close were we? i don�*t know. we got him back. and the sight of christian eriksen conscious as he left the pitch gave hope to all. but his team—mates are being offered psychological support, and the denmark head coach says it was wrong to ask the players to resume the match. the players resumed in a shock condition. players who almost, and they don't really know yet, if they lost their best friend, and they have to decide. eriksen is still being monitored at denmark�*s leading heart unit, where doctors are yet to work out why he collapsed. a tournament already delayed by the pandemic goes on, with football and life put in perspective. nick beake, bbc news, copenhagen. tens of thousands of protesters turned out in madrid to insist that spain�*s government does not go ahead

with plans to pardon nine jailed catalan separatists. right—wing parties backed the demonstration. they accuse the minority socialist—led government of pursuing the plan to shore up political support at a national level, with groups that seek to undermine spanish unity and sovereignty. the socialists deny this, saying pardons would help calm tensions in catalonia to better aid dialogue. the catalan separatist leaders were found guilty of sedition two years ago, linked to their role in a failed independence bid in 2017. it is nearly 70 years since the queen first met a serving us president, and today she welcomed joe biden for tea at windsor castle. he�*d travelled from the g7 summit in cornwall, 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. he shouts orders once he was happy, the queen emerged from her castle to take her place on the deus, 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 has 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, but with a particular significance, underlining the bonds between long—standing allies. later, president biden told us reporters that the queen had reminded him of his mother. he said that among other things they talked about president putin

of russia and president xi of china. nicholas witchell, bbc news. now, time for a little the news with darren. hello there. it was the warmest day of the year in wales, 27 degrees in the south of the country, but for many parts of the country, but for many parts of the uk, it will be much cooler on monday. the cooler air is coming down from the northwest arriving in scotland and northern ireland by morning, as the rain trickles often eases down into northern england. a very warm start to monday across england and wales. what is left of any rain nor the england in north wales which peter out and this band of cloud wanders southwards. either
