live from london, this is bbc news. world leaders begin arriving in japan ahead of a g7 meeting with regional security and the war in ukraine are top of the agenda. rival accounts emerge of a reported car chase involving prince harry and meghan and the paparazzi in new york. police in new zealand charge a man with arson, following a hostel fire that killed at least six people. and the singer songwriting legend sting is to be made a fellow of the academy, joining the likes of eltonjohn and paul mccartney. and we are here on the red carpet at the

awards, sting were walking here shortly, other artists we are expecting to see today include the i975, expecting to see today include the 1975, florence and the machine and others, all up for awards when the ceremony starts. welcome. we start this hour injapan where leaders of the g7 group of some of the world's richest nations are meeting in the city of hiroshima. us presidentjoe biden has already held bilateral talks with the japanese prime minister to discuss japan, us collaboration. one of the seven member states represent a combined output of more than $40 trillion. more than 40% of gdp. high on the agenda will be the war in

ukraine, with further sanctions are said to be imposed on russia over its invasion. but they will also discuss the growing power of china and its use of trade and economic ties to exert influence around the world. g7 leaders are trying to wean themselves off both china and russia by diverse supply chains and markets. british prime minister was among the first to arrive injapan, high on his wish list is a deal on computer semiconductor chips. we will talk about that a little later. also, he wants new defence and economic links between the uk and japan. so far22 economic links between the uk and japan. so far 22 and a half billion dollars byjapanese japan. so far 22 and a half billion dollars by japanese businesses japan. so far 22 and a half billion dollars byjapanese businesses has been announced in uk. that is around £18 billion. it’s been announced in uk. that is around £18 billion. �* , ., ., been announced in uk. that is around £18 billion. �*, ., ., , £18 billion. it's great to be here in to 0 £18 billion. it's great to be here in tokyo to _ £18 billion. it's great to be here in tokyo to start _ £18 billion. it's great to be here in tokyo to start my _ £18 billion. it's great to be here in tokyo to start my trip - £18 billion. it's great to be here in tokyo to start my trip to - £18 billion. it's great to be herel in tokyo to start my trip to japan and the first stop is the naval base where we are now, we are announcing a new defence partnership with japan and the closer cooperation between our armed forces, cyber agencies and

with ukraine. ijust meant to with president zelensky earlier this week at chequers and i will be making sure i speak to other leaders, not just on the g7 but other leaders coming here about continuing our support for ukraine in the face of russia's illegal and unprovoked attack on ukraine sovereignty and the terrible war crimes they are committing against their people. it is incumbent on all of us to maintain our support on ukraine. that is what we're in the uk. that is the uk prime _ that is what we're in the uk. that is the uk prime minister, joking about the economic importance of this g7 meeting. but forjapan, the growing influence of china, its giant neighbour, is a key concern at the g7. our tokyo correspondent sent us this report from hiroshima. at okinawa's naha air base, these routine military exercises have become more urgent. japan's south—western islands are on the front line of any potential conflict between taiwan and china — a threat that's becoming more real by the day for the self—defence forces,

or the sdf. captain ura and his colleagues know that any response would have to involve their american counterparts. okinawa is home to the biggest concentration of us military presence in japan. but the young pilot tells me, as china's capabilities increase, so too should his squadron's readiness to retaliate. translate: when i scramble. to intercept the planes and see chinese aircraft in front of me, i naturally feel a sense of tension. but it also makes me realise that i'm on a mission at the front line of national defence. china's activities are getting more complex, so we need to reflect that in our training. when the government announced the biggest military build—up since the second world war, it illustrated japan's urgent need to show that it can defend itself. this is a pacifist nation now facing the potential of a conflict at its doorstep — be it from a belligerent north korea

or because of china's increased aggression against taiwan. both scenarios will inevitably play out here. both would be catastrophic for the region and the whole world. an hour's flight from okinawa main is ishigaki island, a picturesque haven known for fishing and agriculture and who's beautiful beaches have long attracted holiday—makers. but beyond this facade of calm stands japan's newest military base. nearly 600 troops have moved here earlier this year, including squads capable of launching land—to—ship and land—to—air missiles into the east china sea and beyond. chanting the base has split a once close—knit community. many fear their island might now be a target. every week, veteran activist setsuko yamazato stands in the fields outside the base to protest. translate: as a person who has l experienced the second world war. i don't want that tragic

situation to be repeated. i don't want this island to become a battlefield. we've been nurtured by nature and culture of this island. i don't want that to be destroyed or stolen by war. ishigaki is close to two volatile frontiers — taiwan and its growing tension with china and the senkaku/diaoyu islands, which tokyo controls and beijing claims. translate: geographically speaking, we are very close to taiwan _ and southeast asia. we are in a situation where chinese ships are patrolling very closely. the equipment we have in terms of missile launchers is for defending ourselves. it's not for attacking other countries. we're not looking for war. japan has not fired a single shot in battle since the end of world war ii, but this country that has spent decades avoiding war might find itself being pulled into one. shaimaa khalil, bbc news, okinawa.

let's cross to our regional editor. lots to talk about. first of all, your assessment of the key issues on the agenda? is? your assessment of the key issues on the agenda?— the agenda? g7 agendas are always acked the agenda? g7 agendas are always packed with — the agenda? g7 agendas are always packed with lots _ the agenda? g7 agendas are always packed with lots of _ the agenda? g7 agendas are always packed with lots of issues. - the agenda? g7 agendas are always packed with lots of issues. this - packed with lots of issues. this year is no exception. they are a product of what is going on in the world at a particular time. for example, they will be discussing possible restrictions on russia's diamond trade. but they are also agendas of who is hosting the g7. japan have been made sure to put nuclear disarmament at the top of the agenda. they have also chosen the agenda. they have also chosen the location, of course, hiroshima is a very important location, when a bomb fell there at the end of the

second world war, it killed 70,000 people instantly. that is why the un secretary—general has said japan is the moral authority to bring nuclear disarmament to the front of the discussion table at the moment in the g7. indie discussion table at the moment in the g7. ~ ., discussion table at the moment in theg7. ., ,. ,, , , the g7. we often discuss this, but wonder whether _ the g7. we often discuss this, but wonder whether it's _ the g7. we often discuss this, but wonder whether it's a _ the g7. we often discuss this, but wonder whether it's a lot - the g7. we often discuss this, but wonder whether it's a lot of - the g7. we often discuss this, but| wonder whether it's a lot of talking and not action. or does the g7 actually deliver tangible results? it will be really interesting to see what happens this year, when it comes to ukraine. because again the host country japan has invited an unusually long list of guest country to attend the g7, along with those core seven countries. so we have countries like brazil, india, indonesia, vietnam, all countries that have not taken a very strong stance on the war in ukraine, they are have pointedly not condemned russia for its invasion. it will be interesting to see if that core group of seven countries, seven wealthy democracies, can lean on

those visiting guest countries to see if they can influence their policy on ukraine. so that final communique that came out and also policy moving forward in regards to ukraine, it will be interesting to see if this summit can produce any real sway in terms of those countries multi—mode positions on ukraine. also there are countries like north korea, they are a real concern in the region forjapan, testing an increasing number of ballistic missiles over the years. however, it has backers in terms of china and russia. so it doesn't really matter what the g7 says about north korea, because north korea at the united nations, can really hide behind powerfulfriends the united nations, can really hide behind powerful friends stop widely briefly... you behind powerful friends stop widely briefl ., ., ,, ., ., briefly... you mentioned russia and china. briefly... you mentioned russia and china- and — briefly... you mentioned russia and china. and china _ briefly... you mentioned russia and china. and china has _ briefly... you mentioned russia and china. and china has its _ briefly... you mentioned russia and china. and china has its own - briefly... you mentioned russia and | china. and china has its own meeting going on? china. and china has its own meeting nonin on? , ., china. and china has its own meeting nnoin on? , ., china. and china has its own meeting noninon? ,., , china. and china has its own meeting oninn on? , ,., going on? giant has 'ust started hostinn going on? giant has 'ust started hosting its * going on? giant has 'ust started hosting its own _ going on? giant hasjust started hosting its own summit -

summer smoke on the horizon, and the army now says that there were 30 missiles launched, notjust against kyiv, but throughout the country, of which 29 were brought down by train's air defences, one managed to get through. here in the capital, as far as we know, nobody was injured, there was some damage to property and to eastern parts of the city, as and to eastern parts of the city, as a result of debris from the incoming missile being hit by the intercepting missile and that creates debris that false town and damages property, but also if there is anybody underneath it, it can cause casualties. but we do know that in the south in odesa, one person was killed and two people were injured as part of these attacks. another night, another set of attacks and a continuing theme, notjust of attacks and a continuing theme, not just targeting of attacks and a continuing theme, notjust targeting critical national infrastructure like power plants, but also really russia trying to focus on ukraine's ad offences, not

just damaging them, but also depleting them. much more on the website. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. let's bring you up—to—date on stories around the uk. a survey by citizen's advisors suggest up to 1 million people cancel their broadband in the last year due to the cost of living. the charity said those struggling could have benefited from cheaper social tariffs or special at packages. watchdog ofcom says 4.3 million eligible people are missing out on deals. a bbc investigation has revealed they have failed to find foreign companies are breaking transparency laws. the legislation introduced last year requires overseas properties with properties in the uk to reveal their owners by the end of january. in the uk to reveal their owners by the end ofjanuary. voters in northern ireland are going to the poll to decide who should represent them on 11 councils, a total of 807 candidates are competing for 462

seats in council chambers across the region. details of last week's year six sats have been published after some teachers said it was so difficult it left pupils in tears. more stories on the website. you are alive with bbc news. police in new zealand have charged a man with arson following a suspicious fire at a hostel that killed at least six people in the capital wellington on monday. they say they are not looking for anyone else. the first two bodies had been brought out of the building, but the unstable roof is hindering a more thorough search. police say up to 20 people are still missing. they have said there was a separate fire on a sofa in the building two hours before the main blaze. let's head to the us and the claimant by the duke and duchess of sussex that they were pursued by paparazzi photographers

as they tried to leave an event in new york earlier this week. here they are, accompanied by meghan's mother, an award ceremony in the city. the trouble for them started when they left. as they put it in a statement, they were involved in a... they went on to add that... also involving other drivers on the road, pedestrians and to nypd officers. the new police department has said that while numerous photographers are made the transport of the duke and duchess are challenging, there were no reported collisions, injuries or arrests. the papers in the us they have been reacted to that statement from the sussex player i yesterday. the new york daily scared with... referring

to the harrys mother. the new york post calls than the duke and duchess of harris. they described it as the harry and meghan drama show. a more sober take in the new york times, noting the frenzy that follows the duke and duchess's every move. we put all of this into a little context with our royal correspondent nicholas witchell, analysing the events and the row that has no issue. there are significant discrepancies between the account issued by the sussex is and what the new york police are saying. it's a difference in perception and we have been here before with the sussexs. we need to keep in mind that they were this people at the centre of this. they can only find it worrying and alarming and for harry it will have been a very triggering, invoking images and recollections of the tragic circumstances which led to the death of his mother being pursued by paparazzi in paris on 26 years ago. whether it was sensible

for their spokesperson to issue the statement that they did, couched in the language it was, it read rather like a tabloid story, i think it is a moot point. but we need to keep in mind that harry has made it his business to challenge the behaviour of the media whenever he feels it is inappropriate. clearly, this was a case in point. he has also a very low threshold when it comes to tolerating the behaviour of the media, a very low flashpoint and clearly that was exceeded in new york 24 hours ago. the details of what we know, there, claims and counter claims. earlier we spoke to simon morgan, a former royal protection officer and now a director of operations at trojan cal mag consultancy, a private consultancy in london. he explained the couple's security team should have had a better plan in place. you

should ut have had a better plan in place. hm. should put that mitigation in place knowing that the press and uncle un—relegated press in the form of the paparazzi will follow you away from that event and then you put your contingencies in to say that, 0k, your contingencies in to say that, ok, if this happens, what are we going to do because mega becomes the protection officer's word, what if this happens? indie protection officer's word, what if this happens?— protection officer's word, what if this happens? we will do that. if that doesn't _ this happens? we will do that. if that doesn't happen _ this happens? we will do that. if that doesn't happen we - this happens? we will do that. if that doesn't happen we will - this happens? we will do that. if that doesn't happen we will do i this happens? we will do that. if. that doesn't happen we will do this. when you look at it, you really need to take the when you look at it, you really need to take , ., ., , to take the plan into account, but then ou to take the plan into account, but then you need — to take the plan into account, but then you need to _ to take the plan into account, but then you need to adjust _ to take the plan into account, but then you need to adjust that - to take the plan into account, but| then you need to adjust that plan. plan always evolve because sometimes the other side don't do what you anticipate them to do. certainly, all of that should have been factored into their plan and certainly a place of safety, which would normally be a law enforcement establishment should be considered and again how quickly they can dial in to the nypd for that support, because that incident and then changed from a security to a direct security issue to one of public safety. that is something that the nypd are responsible for, before all

of their citizens and within the city and their support was clearly needed. all certainly an assessment of the situation was clearly needed from law enforcement. what they view their own needing a better plan. there will be more that through the day. let's go to scotland where a man has admitted abducting and sexually assaulting a schoolgirl while dressed as a woman. the 53—year—old, in the process of transitioning, appeared in court under the name andrew miller. he pleaded guilty to driving the girl to his home, before assaulting her in february of this year. let's get the details with our correspondent in edinburgh. just ring us up to date on this case. the in edinburgh. just ring us up to date on this case.— in edinburgh. just ring us up to date on this case. the court this morninn date on this case. the court this morning heard _ date on this case. the court this morning heard that _ date on this case. the court this morning heard that the - date on this case. the court this morning heard that the primary| morning heard that the primary school aged child was approached by what she described as a lady in a car, who said her name was amy george, the girl said the person didn't appear to be threatening, so

she accepted a lift. instead of taking her home, though, andrew miller took her to his house way over the course of 27 hours he repeatedly assaulted her. miller listened on video link to the hearing from prison, he was wearing a prison sweatshirt, he remained impassive throughout, occasionally bowing his head. at the time of his arrest he was presented as amy george, but he told police he wished to be known as andrew miller and use the pronoun is, he, for the city. he had a narrative read out to the court in which the child said that she repeatedly asked to go home, but that miller said he wasn't going to let her ago, as he she was and your family. she can live with his demands because she didn't want to make a man. she only escaped because then fell asleep in the bedroom where she was being kept, she tried the front door, it was locked, the key wasn't in it, but she found a landline and she phoned 999. the

lawyer reading at this narrative to court said that the fear and distress in her voice in that 999 call was palpable. well, thejudge said this was an abhorrent crime of the upmost depravity and criminal deviance, he said it was every parent's deviance, he said it was every pa rent�*s worst deviance, he said it was every parent's worst nightmare. miller is being held on remand in prison in edinburgh, he will be sentenced in august. edinburgh, he will be sentenced in aunust. . ~ edinburgh, he will be sentenced in aunust. ., ,, ., ., , august. thank you for the latest, there, august. thank you for the latest, there. live _ august. thank you for the latest, there, live in _ august. thank you for the latest, there, live in edinburgh. - august. thank you for the latest, there, live in edinburgh. you - august. thank you for the latest, there, live in edinburgh. you are| there, live in edinburgh. you are watching bbc news. something rather different. singing you might be familiar with this song ljy you might be familiar with this song by sting and many others across his career. he has sold more than 100 million albums. today, he will be receiving the prestigious song writing fellowship. that is the organisation's highest honour. just 23 other people have received it, they include eltonjohn and kate
