welcome to bbc news, i'm rich preston. our top stories: world leaders at the g7 summit call for unity to help ukraine defeat russia. we have to stay together. yeah. it is what putin has been counting on from beginning, that somehow nato and the g7 would splinter, but we haven't, and we aren't going to. in ukraine itself, residents reel from the latest act of russian aggression as kyiv is struck by a barrage of missiles. at least four people are killed after a wooden grandstand collapses at a bullfighting festival in colombia. the prince of wales and the charity donations handed over in cash. # i'm coming out. # i want the world to know.

and, diana ross helps bring the first glastonbury festival for three years to a close. welcome. leaders of the g7 group of nations have been meeting in germany for the first day of talks in a key week of diplomacy over ukraine. the british prime minister, borisjohnson, said ukraine should not be forced towards making a deal with russia. president biden called for western unity to be maintained so that russia could be defeated. our political editor chris mason 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. the canadian prime minster suggests they should mimic the russian leader by riding barerback on a horse, as he has done. beyond the jokes though, there are differences of emphasis in 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 acknowledges, though, 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...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. 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. yeah. because putin has been counting on from the beginning that somehow nato would and the g7 would splinter. and we haven't and we're not going to. so we can't let this aggression take the form it has and get away with it. the fundamental truth for all of the leaders here is the democratic pressures that 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 opponents, 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, germany. and in ukraine, the capital city kyiv has suffered intense attacks, 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 of kyiv smouldering, ripped apart. child 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 originally from moscow. shortly afterwards, paramedics bring her out. 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. tamara says the first strike came after six in the morning and she heard four in all.

"i can't find the words," she explains. elena asks, "just tell me why they are doing this to us". 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. glass shatters 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 renewed its effort to strike fear and pain at the heart of ukraine's capital. nick beake, bbc news, kyiv. let's speak to michael o'hanlon now. he's a senior fellow and director of research in foreign policy at the brookings institution, where he specialises

in us defence strategy. thank you very much, that day of dogs has been dominated by ukraine, calls for g7 unity. has the g7 done enough to stand up has the g7 done enough to stand up against russia and, realistically, what more could you do? it has been impressive, no doubt, that the sanctions that have been intensified in recent months are really made a difference in russia's economy, and the weaponry centre ukraine, as well as the intelligence, have helped fend off the initial attack and now sort of hold its own although losing a bit of ground in at the east. but, i don't really see the endgame and i don't really know of the west as a strategy for the endgame beyond simply saying, "we will help ukraine fight as long as it wants." that is a very emotionally satisfying position to take. i'm not sure it is that strategically smart. so, yes, we've done a lot but i don't know if we have a strategy for how to help ukraine preserve the ponderings

of its own territory, sovereignty, the economy, and survival. so i still worry a lot about what happens next. the missile strike sitting here, for the past few weeks russian efforts have been focused on the east, many suggesting perhaps moscow had given up on the capital. was it misguided? is russia refocusing efforts on the capital was to mark i don't think russia has the capacity to do so in a meaningful way.- the capacity to do so in a meaningful way. but we can't dismiss the _ meaningful way. but we can't dismiss the possibility. - dismiss the possibility. vladimir putin has contempt for the whole concept of ukraine as a sovereign country. he has said repeatedly. when vladimir putin gives speeches, write essays, gives his overall worldview, he usually is pretty transparent about what you really thinks. he will lie and he will mislead on tactics. the broad world suggest that he has no particular commitment to the idea of ukraine as a sovereign nation. if he can find a way to somehow eliminate its current government and take the

majority of its territory, you know, much more than he has now, i think you would look for that opportunity. so any kind of strategy we have going forward needs to bear in mind we don't really know putin's intention but they could be quite ambitious.— intention but they could be quite ambitious. straight after the g7 summit _ quite ambitious. straight after the g7 summit they _ quite ambitious. straight after the g7 summit they will - quite ambitious. straight after the g7 summit they will be - quite ambitious. straight after| the g7 summit they will be the meeting of nato leaders. what challenges does need to have in standing up against russia? nato have to figure out at a technical and tactical level where it can change the position and posture of its forces in a long time. there are countries where there are a lot of russian speakers putin doctrine of the grated russia could, in principle, could suggest he has ambitions there. i think part of ourjob, as a nato group of 30 is to make sure that putin cannot in any way pursue those kind of ambitions, but we also need to think hard about the strategy for ending this war, on that point i think we're going to have to think some creative concepts for shared

sovereignty, arbitration, or other concepts that may not be completely emotionally fulfilling but that a more realistic. and the idea ofjust giving ukraine weaponry and hoping that somehow it can take back all the territory it has lost to russia, it isn't realistic. i worry that is too much in demand of nato leaders right now, they are missing an opportunity perhaps in the summer to think harder about a strategy for ending the war, which should be our pre—eminent concern. i will leave it there. michael o'hanlon from the back do. we appreciated. let's get some of the day's other news. here in the uk, a house in birmingham in central england has been destroyed by an explosion. fire services say they believe it was caused by a gas explosion. five people have been injured — one of them critically. three properties adjoining the house have also been significantly damaged. police in turkey have stopped istanbul's pride event and detained dozens of people. organisers managed to read a statement and start a small parade before police arrived and broke up the event.

the nature of the event, saying local authorities should no longer organise activities in which animals or people get killed. genevieve glatsky is a journalist in colombia. she can tell us more. thank you very much for being with us. what more do we know about what happened?- about what happened? details are still coming _ about what happened? details are still coming in. _ about what happened? details are still coming in. as - about what happened? details are still coming in. as you - are still coming in. as you said, at least for two people have been killed, more than 100 injured. in these types of festivities, unfortunately deaths and injuries are not uncommon, and yet they are staunchly defended by some, largely residents of the northern colombian region, where there is a strong cattle ranching culture that goes back centuries, and other parts of the country are horrified and have called to ban the practice. have called to ban the practice-— have called to ban the ractice. , ., ., practice. tell us more about these corraleja _ practice. tell us more about these corraleja abounds - practice. tell us more about these corraleja abounds and what is involved in them. the corraleja _ what is involved in them. the corraleja is — what is involved in them. the corraleja is a _ what is involved in them. tue: corraleja is a specifically

the latest headlines: world leaders at the g7 summit call for unity to help ukraine defeat russia. in ukraine, residents reel from the latest act of russian aggression as kyiv is struck by a barrage of missiles. the earthquake in afghanistan which killed more than 1,000 people last week struck in some of the country's most remote areas. the bbc has found that deep in the mountains of the worst affected paktika province, there are villages where there's severe destruction, but no aid has reached them so far. our south asia correspondent yogita limaye is there. we have travelled several hours on a mountainous and extremely bumpy road to come to this village in south—east afghanistan, close to the border with pakistan and this village has a slot of destruction because of the earthquake. you can see the cracks in this walnut is pretty much the condition of every structure —— structural wall

thatis structure —— structural wall that is still standing in this village until you can see a home it's completely destroyed, and further down there are several other such homes that we've seen. here, for the family were killed when the earthquake was struck, many people were injured, some of them are known hospital. we've been told by the people here that they have been experiencing tremors several times a day every day so they are very scared, they are staying in tents at the base of this village. they also told us they receive no aid, no relief material from either the government or humanitarian agencies. on our way here, we did pass quite a few trucks that were carrying supplies and relief material that they stopped about an hour away, no—one has made thejourney stopped about an hour away, no—one has made the journey up to here. if you look at the mountains there to my right, it's beyond those mountains, not very far from here, that the epicentre of the earthquake was. and we've been told by the

villagers here that scattered across this mountainside, there are several such hamlets and villages where there has been destruction, where there have been deaths because of the earthquake. they say no aid, no relief is reached there so far. it is quite clear that afghanistan is in need of a lot of water. notjust in terms of food supplies or relief material but also in terms of the means to reach these remote far—flung areas so whether it's experienced a disaster response teams or more air power, the taliban government here does not have any of that and get countries around the world are not sending it in because they do not recognise the people who run this land. it's emerged that the prince of wales accepted donations for his charitable projects of up to 3 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 has the details. around 3 million euros donated in three chunks, all of it in cash, in euros itself, in banknotes. at least twice handed over, once apparently in the carrier bag from a top—end food store, another time, apparently in a suitcase handed directly to prince charles. from his office, his office and residence, clarence house, no denial at all of the core of the story. some quibbling over some the details and acknowledgement in a statement that yes, it says the former qatari prime minister did make a donation to prince charles but immediately into a charity account and appropriate checks were made on the donation where it came from to make sure that it fitted in with

all governance rules of the charities. but the problem for the prince is not that any of this is suggested to be illegal, it's not, or that any rules were broken, no—one is saying that either, but it's the fact, first of all, i suppose, that it was done as a cash donation which is probably not the way very large donations are made here in britain to charities, the fact that there has always been controversy around some of the fundraising operations of prince charles's charities, and i think perhaps most importantly, the fact that one person made such a sizeable donation to prince charles's charities and the concern that some people will have is that that gives that person undue influence over the heir to the throne, the man who will be king. this year's glastonbury festival closed with kendrick lamar and diana ross taking top billing on the pymarid stage sunday afternoon. our culture editor katie razzall reports from worthy farm in somerset on what the return of glastonbury has meant.

# baby love, my baby love, i need ya, oh how i...# glastonbury is going out on a high. early at the legends slot, diana ross pumped out hit after hit. # white shirt now red, my bloody nose...# and history has been made at the festival by the youngest ever solo headliner, billie eilish. # heyjude, don't make it bad...# and the oldest, sir paul mccartney, whose 36—song set last night included a nearly 5—minute singalong to heyjude. crowd: # nah nah nah na-na-na-nah #. - and some special guest appearances. mr bruce springsteen! # glory days...# # everybody had a hard year # everybody had

a good time #. there was even a much missed beatle, 42 years after his death. seeing john again. we are back together. with100 performance stages, glastonbury is about so much more than the headline acts. this festival celebrates creativity, imagination, and inclusivity with a good dose of �*change the world' thrown in. we will not let russia's war break us. whether it is an address by ukraine's president. climate! or climate change activist greta thunberg. so many women and so many girls are going. to die because of this. ..or the outrage expressed by stars like olivia rodrigo about the recent us supreme court decision on roe v wade, politics is never far away. we're not closed off from the world here. we're not about escapism. we're about dealing with the world, enjoying ourselves, coming together.

# you killed my cousin back in '94 #. kendrick lamar is tonight's headline act despite efforts in recent years to make the artist line—up much more diverse the crowd still doesn't reflect that. # let's go # yo, it's the hyper man set #. this was british rapper aj tracey on the pyramid stage on saturday. i don't care who it is that's listening to our music as long as everyone is being respectful. it would be nice if we could just educate people about on, like, the privilege you do have, but when i look at the crowd i'm just grateful, to be honest. i am, like, well, these people are here to listen to me. i'd better not fall over, and that's it. this has been a delayed 50th birthday celebration for the uk's biggest festival. glastonbury is ending for the year with many years in these somerset fields still to look forward to. katie razzall, bbc news, glastonbury. just a few more hours until the all england club opens its gates for one of the most eagerly anticipated fortnights on the british sporting calendar. think strawberries and cream and a load of people with seemingly no problem queueing. wimbledon is almost here.

it's been a while, but wimbledon�*s back in full force, and so is the queue. awaiting them is an all—star cast. serena williams hasn't played singles since this agonising exit last year, but hasn't given up on another trophy at a0. opening centre court in its 100th year is defending champion novak djokovic. but rafael nadal is eyeing his third slam of the year after three years away. i enjoy it, unforgettable moments here, so i don't know how many wimbledons remain for me, no? so if i have the chance to be here this year, i want to enjoy that opportunity. despite many time—honoured traditions, some things have changed. this is the first time players have been allowed to practise here on centre court before the championships get under way, including rafael nadal behind me. the idea is this will help bed in the courts and prevent slippages in the early rounds. there are winners...

despite many time—honoured traditions, some things have changed. and last year's overnight sensation, emma raducanu. but the us open champion is tempering expectations after a recent injury. in a way it might help because there is absolutely no pressure on me. like, i haven't had the ideal preparation, so of myself i can't really expect too much and i can just go out there and have a good swing. some have claimed the lack of ranking points means this championships will feel like an exhibition event. but others say it could never be, given the perennial prestige of this place. laura scott, bbc news, wimbledon. just a reminder of our main story on the bbc website, as g7 leaders meeting you fix my germany to discuss the ukraine war, russia launches a fish barrage of missile strikes. much more on the bbc news

website, bbc.com/news. also the bbc news app. you can reach me on twitter — i'm @richpreston. goodbye from all the team at bbc news. 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 thisjune, 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. 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 infrom 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 17—21, around where we should be. early peak in the pollen levels in east anglia, the south—east, and then a later peak in the west. and of course monday sees the start of wimbledon. cloudy skies to begin with, brightening up, could just see a few spots of rain around lunchtime, but mostly dry for the bulk of the day. dry into the evening and overnight too 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 to 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, coming off 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 during the morning, but will linger across parts of central south—western scotland, wales and push into the western fringes of england. brighter skies in the west later, always dry and brighter through central—eastern england, where it will be a bit warmer, 2a degrees the potential high. overall, though, temperatures around average for the time of year. more rain in the north and west, driest in the south and east.

this is bbc news. the headlines: leaders of the g7 group of nations have been meeting in germany. over the next couple of days they're expected to promise further military support for ukraine and impose more sanctions on moscow. ukraine's foreign minister urged them to provide more heavy weapons for his country and further isolate russia. in ukraine, the capital kyiv has suffered intense attacks, 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 was damaged. a wooden grandstand crowded with spectators has collapsed during a bullfighting festival in colombia, killing at least four people. dozens of others were injured

when the three—storey stucture came down in the western city of espinal.
