other crises of food and energy, too. but will even the unity of ukraine hold? among the leaders at the summit is borisjohnson — who's said he is "actively thinking" about a third term, amid criticism of his leadership after by—election losses. what i'm saying is that this is a government getting on with delivering for the people of this country and we've got a huge amount to do. that is what i am trying to get out. at least 20 people are reported to have been found dead at a nightclub in the south african city of east london. the prince of wales accepted a suitcase containing a million euros in cash from a former qatari prime minister, according to the sunday times. there is no suggestion the payments were illegal. sir paul mccartney wows glastonbury — and brings on surprise guests
3:02 pm
bruce springsteen and dave grohl. a russian missile strike on ukraine's capital, kyiv, at dawn, has killed at least one person and injured four others. it happened as world g7 leaders meet in bavaria, where the ukraine war will no doubt dominate the agenda. let'sjoin my colleague shaun ley in garmisch in the bavarian alps. hello to you from the bavarian alps
3:03 pm
where russian missiles are on the minds of the g7 leaders meeting here today. they strike you have hours after the ukrainian president warned that the war was entering what it called a more difficult phase. ine sailed behind me, at a spa, the leaders have gathered. you can hear the helicopters buzzing backwards and for the reds both for security reasons under very the leaders back and leaders of the seven big industrial nations promise progress for a just world but what justice for a just world but what justice for ukraine right now? a nine story block of flats in the centre of the city was damaging those air strikes early this morning. one person dead and five killed among them a seven—year—old girl. joe biden said of russia's actions it is just more of russia's actions it is just more of their barbarism.
3:04 pm
once again ukraine's capital is under attack. this video claiming to show the horizon this lunchtime as more russian rockets strike. explosion and once again civilians are in the firing line. a residential block in the centre of kyiv ripped apart and smouldering. screams inside rescuers reach a young girl pinned down by debris. they manage to bring her to safety and then take her to hospital. moments later a ukrainian official appears outside brandishing a russian passport, saying that one woman still trapped is from moscow. shortly afterwards paramedic�*s bring someone out, but their condition is not clear. among those arriving at the site kyiv�*s former boxing champion mayor who makes clear that this is the latest of hundreds of missiles russia has fired at his city.
3:05 pm
around 6.30 kyiv had a rocket attack. i want to remind more than 300 buildings in our home town was destroyed. 220 apartment buildings. whether or not this was the intended target it's shattered the relative calm that had returned to the capital kyiv in recent weeks. it feels like this is vladimir putin sending his own message at a time when those g7 leaders are meeting. these flats are near to an ammunition factory which could have been the intended target. but the head of national police says they are now collecting evidence which could prove this attack was a war crime. there have been more explosions here in the past few hours. the fierce fighting in the east of ukraine is far away. but russia has renewed its effort to strike at the heart of the capital. nick beake, bbc news, kyiv.
3:06 pm
all of it seems very far away from you in a beautiful normally peaceful location like this on a german sunday afternoon at the height of summer. still, the leaders were posing for what they like to call the family photo. i was never far away on their minds as they gather here even though it is not on the agenda for today. representatives for the eu, britain's borisjohnson chatting with the host, and other world leaders. the us president, joe biden also. prime ministerjohnson admitted there are what he called anxieties between the different members of the g7. over how best that this war could be brought to an
3:07 pm
end. anxiety is being diplomatic speak of course, for differences. many of them wanted to talk about the subjects they are supposed to be discussing today, the crisis in the economy, the energy crisis. how to tackle climate change. a climate club of countries that share ambitious energy reduction targets and of course, the shortage of food. although subjects that are inextricably, though, linked to ukraine. that is what the g7 was supposed to be talking about this afternoon. ukraine is on the agenda for tomorrow but these three—day proceedings particularly with the nato summit in madrid due straight afterwards. he was a diplomatic correspondent. he was a diplomatic correspondent. they're leaders of some of the world's richest nations facing some of the world's biggest problems. above all, russia's war in ukraine. in recent weeks there had been some different ideas around this table, but here at this luxury hotel in bavaria, they're hoping to put on a show of unity. borisjohnson on the latest stage
3:08 pm
of a week—long foreign tour that's keeping him away from political troubles at home, admitted there was anxiety within the west over the war, but he insisted the g7 remained united. but in order to protect that unity, in order to make it work, you've got to have really, really honest discussions about the implications of what's going on, the pressures that individual friends and partners are feeling, and populations are feeling, whether it's on the costs of their energy, or whatever. some leaders want to keep talking to russia. others ask if it might not be better to end the war soon to help ease the global economic shock. but that's not the view from here. at least, from this man. we have to stay together. yeah. because putin has been counting on from the beginning that somehow nato and the g7 would splinter, but we haven't and we're not going to. but russia's president is raising the stakes. this is a russian short—range
3:09 pm
missile delivery system, and mr putin is promising to give it to his ally in belarus in coming months. a system, he made a point of saying, which can carry both conventional and nuclear weapons. some world leaders outside the g7 club are also here. but they want to talk about the rising costs of energy and food, made worse, in part, by the war. so at this summit the g7 wants to send out two signals to the world. one, that it remains united and resolved on ukraine. but also, that it remains ready to tackle the global economic crisis. their aim, to show that democratic summits in scenic locations can help solve the world's problems. james landale, bbc news, at the g7.
3:10 pm
summits of political leaders provoked protests and indeed, hundreds of people, some supporting causes like climate change are concerned about the impact high prices are having on the pressure on the world's poor have been demonstrating. but the hundreds number is important. not the thousands we have often seen at these kinds of g7 summits. perhaps one explanation is the intense police presence which is visible for miles before you actually reach the source of the protests. the place that they are focused on, the spa high above me on the alps of bavaria. so that is the security presence there at the moment lined up presence there at the moment lined up for the protesters. it got a small railway track that runs just close to the bottom of the hills here and on a number of occasions the train to be halted by the protests but the police move quickly to deal with them and move the protesters on the. it is about to say, though, that a lot of the
3:11 pm
attention of ideas focused on what happens at the nato summit in madrid which begins on wednesday morning and last the few days. part of the donation by borisjohnson is out of the uk for so long despite the fact he is in the middle of a domestic political crisis of his own. but let's talk to... but let's talk to... i can speak now to tyler kustra, assistant professor of politics and international relations at the university of nottingham. thank you, lead me as you first about. they talk about the unity they have demonstrated over sanctions, do they need to go further along that we course and trying to put pressure on russia? absolutely. you know, we put a lot of sanctions on russia but what we have not sanctioned as the natural gas export and that is money that goes straight from eu consumers to vladimir putin's bank account to funding this bloody war and that has to be sanctioned if you want to put pressure on putin. we've done

3:13 pm
fly that go to dubai, melted back down, from divine then send it to the uk. so unfortunately, gold is one of those things thatjust makes it look like they don't really want to address what they could do which is natural gas sanctions. that means a creater is natural gas sanctions. that means a greater head. _ is natural gas sanctions. that means a greater head, potentially, - is natural gas sanctions. that means a greater head, potentially, on - a greater head, potentially, on people in their own countries who are already struggling with high energy prices. one thing they therefore talked about is what france calls a price shield, another was a cap on oil and gas prices. potentially russian but other sources as well. at a time of high inflation, how realistic is that? welcome if you could actually go russians to sell the oil at the low market rate, you know, then you could say, well we all that that oil into the world economy and we will take a tax on it in return for allowing a ten. that would be a very
3:14 pm
creative solution. the issue is making sure that, if russia are selling you oil for $50 a barrel, say, the oil is worth $100, he gets that extra 50? because you don't want it to a kickback to vladimir putin to summon the method. what putin to summon the method. what about the rest _ putin to summon the method. what about the rest of _ putin to summon the method. what about the rest of the _ putin to summon the method. what about the rest of the world? it is represented here as part of this talk of promoting a just world, the leaders here have invited the prime minister of senegal, the president of indonesia, argentina, south africa, and india's prime minister is kind of representatives of the global south. what are the sort of arguments that are being had here looking to other parts of the world? the focus, for example, the war in ukraine and many of the other crises are genuinely global.—

3:16 pm
settlement in what will seal the question over the next couple of days with a passion from countries like italy and france in particular for president zelensky to move towards negotiations will be shared by some other members of the g7. that is it for now from the alps. thank you very much for that. thank you. one person has been killed after russian cruise missiles strike the ukrainian capital, kyiv, causing large explosions. the attacks come as world leaders meet in germany where they'll discuss how to continue to support ukraine. us presidentjoe biden expresses the need for unity with nato against vladimir putin. among the leaders at the summit is borisjohnson — who's said he is "actively thinking" about a third term, amid criticism of his leadership after by—election losses. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc

when they play the longest form. it honestly feels like every time we play a test match we are fighting for the format a little bit and it is quite hard not to think that has a player because, ultimately, you're trying to do the best in the situation in front of you. you not trying to think too hard about the format but i do think we are always judged on that and if there is a slightly more attritional section of play as there is a man's test cricket, we are done slightly differently sometimes and the debate starts to go, should women be playing test cricket? so we certainly feel that pressure. so we certainly feel that pressure. day three of the uk athletics championships are under way in manchester with daryl neita aiming for a sprint double in the final of the 200 metres just after half 3. you can follow that one on the bbc sport website and iplayer. tom bosworth has claimed a seventh british title in the 5 kilometre race walk, finishing more than two minutes clear of his nearest rival.
