confirms that _ since they captured mariupol. ti 3 confirms that sanction packages against russia are not enough and ukraine needs more assistance with air defence systems the modern systems that are partners have should not be in storage but in ukraine where they are now needed. there are needed here more than anywhere else in the world. —— severodonetsk full stop as world leaders meet at this luxury hotel and bavaria, divisions are emerging more than before. some say it would be better for the water and more than before. some say it would be betterfor the water and even if it meant ukraine giving up territory. that will be resisted by leaders here. they're expected to put on a show of unity here, with more sanctions against russia. the rice of more sanctions against russia. the price of freedom is worth paying. it is thus— price of freedom is worth paying. it is thus standing together and the principle — is thus standing together and the principle that a free sovereign independent country like ukraine should _ independent country like ukraine should not be widely invaded and not

10:05 am
president biden thanked the german leader for �*stepping up' on ukraine. we have to stand together because vladimir putin has been counting from beginning that somehow nato and the g7 would splinter and we haven't and not going to sell we can't have this aggression take the the summit is being held in the bavarian alps — where our correspondent jenny hill is. those terrible scenes we're seeing from kyiv this morning will weigh heavily on the minds of the world leaders gathering here up in the mountains at that luxury secluded resort. yes, ukraine will absolutely dominate their conversations. there is no question, i think, of the fact that they are unanimous on wanting to send a very strong message of support on ukraine, they will discuss economic, political, military support.
10:06 am
in terms of the economy, we know is widely acknowledged that ukraine is going to need something in the region of $5 billion a month in the short term just to keep itself going to start a bit of reconstruction. goodness knows what happens after that. the longer—term financial situation is going to be very difficult. it's just one of the many details that the leaders here will be talking about. they are under pressure to come up with concrete measures. this will all be about the direction of travel, where they want to go in terms of their politics. but the world is watching. ukraine will be putting pressure on them to deliver on their words, not least, of course, because president zelensky will address them via video link here in a session tomorrow. and in addition to that, these leaders have to deal with the fallout of this ongoing conflict, what it means for international food security, what it means for energy supply and cost around the world. and, you know, these leaders are really under pressure, of course, from their own electorates back home, some of them more than others. think of president macron of france, who's been considerably weakened in recent parliamentary elections. they all know that their populations are suffering from an increasing
10:07 am
cost of living, partially exacerbated, of course, by the war in ukraine. but on top of that, the rising cost of energy. other countries experiencing real issues with food supply. think of africa and the difficulty of getting hold of ukrainian grain and wheat, for example. there is a lot for these leaders to discuss. it's set, as you mentioned, in this gorgeous setting in the bavarian alps. from where i stand, we're surrounded here by mountains covered in pine trees. it's absolutely beautiful. and the juxtaposition between the beauty of the surrounding here and the grimness of the subjects being discussed by these leaders is really very stark indeed. borisjohnson has defended his comment that he is "actively thinking" about a third term, which would require him to win the next two general elections. the statement came despite criticism of his leadership and speculation that he could face another attempt by his mps to remove him from office. with me is political correspondent, tony bonsignore. yesterday he talked about a third term and he is now being asked about it now that he is at the g7.—
10:08 am
it now that he is at the g7. those comments _ it now that he is at the g7. those comments were _ it now that he is at the g7. those comments were off-camera - it now that he is at the g7. those - comments were off-camera yesterday comments were off—camera yesterday to reporters. he was asked about a second term understands awards, second term understands awards, second term? i'm thinking about a third term. honestly that has angered some, particularly his critics within the party. others love it. they see it is very much in keeping with the way the prime minister approaches things. he was asked about it on camera in the last hour or so and this is what he had to say. what i'm saying is that this is a government that is getting on with delivering for the people of this country and we've got a huge amount to do, that's what i'm trying to get at. so in the immediate future, we've got to get people through the current global inflationary pressures, the post—covid, ukraine exacerbated inflationary pressures that people have got, the energy price spike that we've got.
10:09 am
but at the same time we've got a massive agenda of reform and improvement, a plan for a stronger economy whereby we have to reform our energy markets, our housing markets, the way our transport networks work, our public sector. we've got to cut the costs of government, and we've got to make sure that we grow our economy by reducing the burden of taxation on business and on families and have better regulation. that's a huge agenda of work. plus, i'm here in the in the g7 in germany getting on with the job of standing up for british values that we express around the world of democracy, human rights and freedom. and getting our partners can continue to work with our partners on that terrible problem in ukraine. i think the way he is trying to frame this is that we have a government here for the long term because what he understands and what his party understands is the problems facing the country are deep and a very difficult, whether they
10:10 am
be cost of living ukraine are very structural problems in the economy. so i think he is trying to turn it into quite a positive thing and send we are here for the long term. to be honest, i think his supporters will love the sort of stuff and his detractors will say he is delusional in the woods being used so i don't think it changes things completely. at least 17 people, reported to be young adults have died in a nightclub in south africa. it happened in the enyobeni tavern in east london. the cause of the deaths is not known: local media has spoken of poisoning, or a stampede inside the venue. pictures from the scene show bodies on the floor and tables. a major police investigation is taking place. we'll bring you more on that from our reporters in south africa as soon as we have it. police in norway have charged a 42—year—old man with murder, attempted murder and terrorist acts
10:11 am
after a shooting which left two people dead and 21 others injured. shots were fired at a popular gay venue in the capital, oslo, and led to authorities postponing the city's pride parade. gail maclellan has the latest. it was the celebration before the big lgbtq+ event of the year. the first pride march in three years. instead, a man went on a rampage with at least one automatic weapon, killing two and injuring over 20. the suspect, a norwegian who came from iran as a child, was arrested quickly after the shooting started. translation: the suspect has been known to the intelligence services. he has a long history of violence and threats and was known to us since 2015, with concerns that he was radicalised as part of an islamist network in norway. the shootings happened near the london gay pub, and a jazz club in the central
10:12 am
area, packed with people on a warm summer night. some hid in the pub's basement, many made calls to loved ones. personally, for me, i know a lot of the people that were outside london pub last night, and i know a lot of the volunteers that we have in oslo pride also know people that were there and were either witnesses or injured last night. so this has definitely been a really hard hit to our community. flags and flowers were laid near the scene of the attack. norway's royal family spoke of the strength of the community. translation: it's important that we defend who we are, l that norway is a country where you are allowed to love who you want and be with you want. as a result of the attacks, the country's threat level has been raised and police temporarily armed.
10:13 am
the man who did this tried to tear us apart, but i think this brings us closer together as one, to stand as one, to face this. though the pride march was postponed, thousands still took to the streets. we are here, we're queer, we won't disappear! marching in defiance and solidarity. gail maclellan, bbc news. the headlines: several russian cruise missiles have struck the ukrainian capital, kyiv, causing large explosions. the attacks come as world leaders meet in germany where they'll discuss how to support ukraine. among the leaders at the summit is borisjohnson who has said he is "actively thinking" about a third term, amid criticism of his leadership.
10:14 am
the former us president donald trump has hailed the supreme court ruling that overturned the right to abortion as a victory for the constitution, the rule of law, and life itself. protests for and against the decision have continued for a second day. some women in states where bans have come into force are rushing to make alternative arrangements, after clinics closed their doors and cancelled appointments. simonjones reports. back up! angry scenes in los angeles as police confront protesters who are demanding that the right to abortion remains. all chant: we want abortion on demand! anger, too, outside the supreme court in washington. i want to do something with you guys — a little therapeutic screaming. people determined that their voices are heard. screaming. don't kill your baby!
10:15 am
but in mississippi, those who back the supreme court's ruling gather outside an abortion clinic, emotions running high on both sides of the debate. my father is my king and he is not in you. he's not in you. you're in need of a saviour today. you're in need of a saviour. you don't know god. i know him more than you will ever know him. god does not hear your prayers. yes. oh, he does hear them. no, you are for the devil. and a political divide, too. the court handed down a victory for the constitution, a victory for the rule of law and, above all, a victory for life. this breakthrough is the answer to the players of millions and millions of people. jill and i know how painful and devastating this decision
10:16 am
is for so many americans — and i mean so many americans. the decision is implemented by states. my administration is going to focus on how they administer it and whether or not they violate other laws. we will take action to protect women's _ we will take action to protect women's rights and reproductive health — following the ruling, around 26 states looks set to ban abortions, except for when a woman's life is at risk, but a growing number of businesses say they will support those who need abortions, such as bank of america, which will cover travel costs. and prominent figures are continuing to speak out. obviously disappointed about the decision made and, you know, i just... really, for me, i mean, obviously, i feel bad for future women, and women now, but i also feel bad for those who protested for this i don't even know how many years ago, but protested for this and are alive to see that — see that decision be reversed. but as the ramifications of the ruling sink in, the divisions in society remain as strong as ever. simon jones, bbc news.

10:26 am
us presidentjoe biden has urged the g7 and the nato defence alliance to �*stay together�* against russia�*s war in ukraine. and in the past hour, ukraine�*s foreign minister has called on the g7 to impose more sanctions on russia and provide more heavy arms to ukraine. hello. hello, everyone. i hope you�*re doing all right. well, we had a plentiful supply of heavy, blustery showers yesterday and more of that to come for many of us today. but we are seeing some brightness, so it�*s not a complete write—off as far as the unsettled weather is concerned. and the reason we�*re seeing this is down to what we�*re seeing here on the pressure chart, an area of low pressure. this is nearby, it�*s not really going anywhere in a hurry. you can see the winds swirling around it here and the winds are introducing those heavy, blustery downpours. so showery spells of rain moving in from western parts. you can see the weather
10:27 am
frontier trailing from parts of scotland, northern ireland through the northwest of england, western parts of wales, eventually creeping into the south west of england as well. there is a bit of an east—west split today, however, the further east you go, the drier it is and the warmer it is. top temperatures 23 celsius across southeastern parts of england, whereas parts of wales, northern ireland in particular cooler. and we�*ll have those heavy downpours as mentioned. now, i�*ve spoken about the winds already thanks to the presence of that low pressure. these are the wind gusts in excess of a0 to 50 miles per hour across the isle of man, parts of anglesey, western coastal fringes, for example. yes, it will be breezy or blustery further east, but not quite as windy here. how is it looking at glastonbury? well, it will be quite windy at times, i think, with some heavy showers, but it will brighten up and i think we will see some sunshine at times. let�*s head through this evening, then. the weather front is very slowly creeping across towards the east, introducing those heavy downpours with it. again, we could hear the odd rumble of thunder, i think eastern parts of england remaining dry, but we can�*t rule out the odd shower here as well. top temperatures reaching 11 or 12 celsius as far as our lows
10:28 am
are concerned tonight. now, the low pressure i was speaking of earlier is moving away towards the north, but we are shortly going to be joined by another low. this is creeping in from the west as we head through the next 2a hours or so. so monday starts off dry for many of us. we still have those heavy downpours. we still have those heavy downpours, however, they�*re moving across towards the east. here�*s the low pressure introducing that weather front into parts of northern ireland. another windy one, i think. these are the average wind speeds, but gusts in excess of what we�*re seeing there. and top temperatures quite similar about 22 or 23 celsius, fairly unsettled at times this week, i think, thanks to the low pressure. but temperatures will rise a bit for a time. we�*ll keep you posted. see you soon.
