close it's 6am in singapore and midnight in germany where leaders from the g7 group of nations are meeting. it was the first day of talks in what will be a key week of diplomacy over the war in ukraine. britain's prime minister says ukraine should not be forced into a peace settlement with russia. if that means losing territory. and president biden has been calling for western unity to hold, to defeat russia. our political editor chris mason
11:02 pm
reports from bavaria in germany. 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 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
11:03 pm
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, 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
11:04 pm
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 at the g7 summit in germany. i'm joined now by my colleague shaun ley in garmisch in the bavarian alps. nice to speak to you, the growing influence on china is also an effect. have leader spoke about how to deal with that? the?

zelensky will be speaking via video link and trying to put some more steel into the backbone of the g7. and in ukraine, kyiv the capital city has suffered intense attacks —of more than a dozen missile strikes — launched by russia; the most sustained barrage in months. it happened hours after president zelensky warned that the war is entering a difficult phase. a nine—storey residential building in one district was damaged during the strike. one person was killed and five injured, including a 7—year—old girl. our correspondent nick beake reports. once again, ukraine's capital is under attack. explosion 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

into a charity account and appropriate checks were made on the donation word came from to make sure that it fitted in all governance rules of the charities. of the problem for the prince is not that any of this suggested to be legal, or that any resident broken, no one is saying that either. but it's the fact that it was done as a cash donation is probably not the way was very large donations are made here in britain the charities and the fact that there is always been controversy around some of the fundraising operations of prince charles charities and i think most importantly, the fact that one person made such a sizeable donation to prince charles charity and the concern that some people have is that gives that person undue influence over the air to the throne, the man who would be king.

be honest — look at the crowd, disgraceful, to be honest. —— i'mjust grateful. hello. even with the weekend's rain in the west, it's been a rather dry month so far across most parts of the country. but if i show you the rainfall animation for this week, notice how it mounts up across these western areas, the colours deepening. it's here where we could see anything between 40—80 mm of rain, more especially around the hills and the coast. some eastern areas where so far this june, we've seen onlyjust over a quarter of our normal rainfall, not a huge amount is expected at all. although there's still a chance we could see a bit more towards the south east corner through the middle part of the week. the reason, well, areas of low pressure are going to come in off the atlantic and then stall before working northwards, as this one did from sunday, leaving a trailing weather front to take us into monday, which will produce sunshine and showers working their way eastwards, but much lighter winds than we saw through the weekend.
11:27 pm
so, this is how we start the day, the commuting temperatures somewhere between 11—13 degrees, not desperately cold out there. but a line of cloud and showery rain western england, eastern wales to begin with, maybe just in the south east of scotland, too. that trundles its way eastwards through the day, fragmenting even more, but it does mean sunnier skies develop in its wake. just a few showers dotted around, not as many as we saw in the weekend, so western areas much, much brighter compared with sunday, though winds not as strong. still a noticeable breeze, though, coming in from the south—west, and it's a slightly cooler direction for some of you compared with what we saw for the weekend, especially in the east of the country, but actually with more sunshine, lighter winds in the west, it should feel a touch warmer. temperatures 7—21, around we should be. early peak in the pollen levels in east anglia, the south east, and then a later peak of the west. and of course monday sees the start of wimbledon. cloudy skies to begin with, brightening up, you could just see a few spots of rain around lunch time, but mostly dry through the day.
11:28 pm
now dry into the evening and overnight, to come across eastern areas, but the next batch of wet and windy weather pushes in through northern ireland and towards the west. keeping temperatures here in teens for one or two, but a chillier night in the eastern half of the country, 5—6 degrees in rural areas to start tuesday. so, this is the next area of low pressure for tuesday, and coming up out of the atlantic and stalling. the winds blowing up the weatherfront, so it doesn't move a great deal. it will clear away from northern ireland in the morning, but will will linger across parts of central, south—western scotland, wales and push into the western fridges of england. brighter skies in the west later, always dry and brighter through central, eastern england, where it will be a bit warmer, 24 degrees a potential high. overall, though, temperatures around average for the time of year. more rain in the north and west, driest to the south and east.
