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. 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. early in garmisch in the bavarian alps. evening, in the s southern early evening, in the summer, in southern germany, not tranquil for many here but due to the constant buzz of helicopters above me and

security blankets which ensure the whole area is protected and so the people high above me and this hotel can concentrate on the discussions without distractions. the theme of this summit is progress for a just world after that attack in the early hours in the capital kyiv which resulted in flats being damaged and five people are known to have been injured and among them, a seven—year—old girl, one of whom who lived in the flats is dead. our correspondent reports now from ukraine on the aftermath of the attack. once again, ukraine's capital is under attack. this video said to show the city's horizon as more russian rockets hit. and once again, civilians are in the firing line.

a residential block in the centre of kyiv smouldering, ripped apart. inside, rescuers reach a young girl, pinned down by debris. they manage to bring her to safety and then taken to hospital. moments later, ukrainian official appears outside, brandishing a russian passport, saying that one woman still trapped is originally from moscow. shortly afterwards, paramedics bring her out but her condition is clear. 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. we find two residents trying to take it all in. translation: tamara says the first strike came after six _ in the morning and she had four in all.

i can't find the words, she explains. elaine asks, "just tell me why they are doing this to us". among those arriving to see the damage, the former boxing champion mayor of kyiv and he makes clear this is just the latest of hundreds of missiles russia has fired onto his city. more than 300 buildings in our home town was destroyed, 220 apartment building and one of them destroyed today. these flats are near to an ammunition factory that was hit in april and could have been the intended target today. 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 as the day has gone on. this may be far from the fiercest fighting raging in the east of the country but russia has tried to strike fear and pain at the heart of ukraine's capital. nick beake, bbc news, kyiv.
6:05 pm
there isn't a difference of view for the need to support ukraine will be further announcements over the coming days before the nato summit which begins on wednesday and all of it aimed at showing up support and demonstrating an eye to moscow that the western world in particular remains united behind new crane�*s cause. but there is concern over what comes afterwards what sort of relationship as possible and necessary with russia, certainly the german chancellor and others believes that it is not a question of humiliating russia, it's a question of bringing the best into this war and that there is more dialogue with the russian president afterwards. it's tough to a former chief of the

this. but the g7 leaders enjoy some respect in their political concerns at home. no more so than the french president who suffer the humiliation last week on the french voters denied him a majority in the national assembly for a second term orfor national assembly for a second term or for boris national assembly for a second term orfor borisjohnson who, national assembly for a second term or for borisjohnson who, after two parliamentary defeats of net on thursday and friday is facing a renewed onslaught of demands for his resignation. the two of them met up today on sunday and it wasn'tjust today on sunday and it wasn'tjust to offer mutual consolation is the bbc now reports. the leaders of the world's richest countries gather to work out what to do next about ukraine. they begin by mocking president putin. bare—chested horseback! the canadian prime minister suggests they should mimic the russian leader by riding bareback on a horse, as he has done. beyond the jokes, though, there are real differences of emphasis and approach here about how
6:12 pm
much and for how long ukraine should be helped. the uk insists it must be for the long haul. the prime minister, though, acknowledges some are tiring of it. i think that the pressure is there and the anxiety is there and we've got to be honest about that. the g7 has been solid and we continue to be solid. 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. these two men look like the best of friends. a reunion of a year old, now... but in private, the prime minister emphasised to the french president any attempt to settle the conflict now, with russia having stolen ukrainian territory, would be a mistake. at this summit, the aim is to portray as much unity and resolve as possible as the conflict in ukraine drags on and its costs back home, not least rising prices,
6:13 pm
become more obvious. president biden in conversation with the summit�*s host, the german chancellor, stressed a sense of togetherness was imperative. we have to stay together. as putin is counting on from the beginning that somehow nato would... and the g7 would splinter and... but we haven't and we're not going to, so can't let that aggression take the form it has and get away with it. the fundamental truth for all of the leaders here is the democratic pressures they face back home from their parties and their public. borisjohnson is well aware of this, of course. this matters because the leaders have to mould and flex their views to reflect their domestic audience. unlike their opponent, president putin, who does not. the challenge, then, is how to stand together, how to move as one. not easy and not guaranteed in the long term. chris mason, bbc news

decisions they take on the future of ukraine, taking not is here in germany but also in spain. her nato members gathered in madrid on wednesday. for now, from the bavarian alps, back to you in the studio. it's emerged that the prince of wales accepted donations for his charitable projects of up to three million euros in cash — from the former prime minister of the gulf state of qatar. the sunday times has also reported some of the money was handed directly to prince charles. our royal correspondent, jonny dymond, explained what the prince's representatives are saying about this the prince's office does not deny the substance of this story although they clearly have some concerns about some of the detail. but they acknowledge that a very large donation was passed over in cash to the prince. he passed it to his assistants and they put it in the bank account of his charities and the appropriate checks were made. there is no suggestion of any
6:16 pm
illegality or rule breaking. this is somewhat embarrassing partly because such a huge donation being made in cash. i mean, a bank transfer or a cheque would be more regular barley would be more regular partly because there has been so much controversy around previous fundraising efforts from some of the prince's charities. perhaps most importantly, because of the suggestion, perception amongst some that one person giving such a huge donation may end up having undue influence on the air to the throne, on the heir to the throne, the man who will be king. johnny diamond, thank you. at least 20 young people have been found dead in a nightclub in the port city of east london in south africa. the cause of death is not yet known — there were no injuries on the bodies and its thought there may have been a gas leak. shingai nyoka reports. the nightclub where so many young people died.
6:17 pm
police remain at the scene of the incident in which the cause of these deaths remain far from clear. officers responded to distress calls at enyobeni tavern in the early hours of this morning. most of the victims were teenagers. at this stage, the parents have been told they have to visit the morgue to identify their children. the problem was police were trying to secure the crime scene, or preserve evidence, so they had to restrict access. of course, there were so many people there and so many people that didn't know if their children were in the nightclub at the time, so it became a bit of a... um... situation to... to stop them from entering the space. south africa's president, cyril ramaphosa, expressed his condolences to the families and called for a thorough investigation. the police have ruled out a stampede as the cause. there are suggestions that the revellers could have inhaled or ingested a toxic substance. shingai nyoka, bbc news. the headlines on bbc news.

we move through the next few days. today's weather dominated by an area of low pressure that is going to clear away, but the next area of low pressure hot on its heels, so we are looking at further wet weather to come. and it will remain breezy as well. so as we go through tonight, we have got further outbreaks of showery rain. you can see that line extending its way south, gradually pushing its way north and east as we go through the night. ahead of it, drier with clear spells. behind that area of rain, some showers feeding in. some of those could be heavy. temperatures not falling too far, generally staying in the double figures. we could just see one or two showers creeping into the south and east into the early hours. so we have that band of showery rain around first thing in the morning towards the west. it will gradually push east as we move through the day. drier skies following on behind. turning cloudier, though, for northern ireland from the west, with some rain later. temperatures at a maximum of 21 celsius. bye— bye.
