monday appear -- appealed to g-7 leaders, asking for antiaircraft systems as the battle rages. local authorities described the damage in areas catastrophic. this is the last big city still under ukrainian control in the eastern province. anchor: ukraine dominating the conversation at the g-7 summit. president zelenskyy underlying the urgency of the situation his country is facing, the g-7 have said they will collectively back ukraine as long as it takes. douglas herbert is our man at the g-7 and sent us this. reporter: on day two of the g-7 summit, the leaders promised to stand with ukraine for as long as it takes. they said they were committed to

helping ukraine end with a cold russia's work, to help ukraine defend itself and choose its own future. it was also a day when loan a mere zelinski -- when president zelenskyy tried to hold them to the word. he told the leaders that he needed the war to end by the winter to not have a drag on into another year at great cost to his economy and their economy. he also said he would only negotiate from a position of strength and that means having a better battlefield position. he is not ready to cede territory to the russians will be pressured into a peace deal he doesn't want. right now the battlefield situation for ukraine is getting more difficult seemingly by the day, and stopping putin's war machine will take a lot of effort. the g-7 leaders looking for economic pushback. one idea is to cap the price of russian oil, literally setting a ceiling on which russia could

sell each barrel of oil to international markets. that is easier said than done. these price caps according to some in the g-7, including germany, who say it is a good idea on paper but may be unworkable in practice. it would involve giant companies like -- countries like india and china on board and it's not clear they would be willing to play ball. meantime, putin has been cranking up his assault across all parts of ukraine. nowhere seems off-limits these days. for now, the g-7 leaders continue to be stumped as to how to starve putin of the cash he needs to keep his war machine going. anchor: our international affairs commentator, at the g-7. more to come as things develop their. military support for ukraine is a key issue for the nato summit this week. the secretary-general has already spoken on strengthening support ahead of the meeting. it will also examine strategic plans for the alliance over the next decade, including

membership from finland and sweden in the wake of russia's aggression in ukraine. our correspondent is in madrid with the nato summit will take place and joins us live. what can we expect from this nato summit? reporter: top on the agenda will be the invasion by russia. and what the nato allies can do to back ukraine. speaking earlier, saying the summit would agree to be able to make 300,000 troops available in the eastern countries that border or are close to ukraine, up from the current 40,000. in some cases the troops would be directly in the is turn european countries. in other cases they might be

stationed in training, ready to be deployed in allied countries like canada or germany. a redefinition of nato, the most challenging time since the cold war. the last trip -- strategic plan from 12 years ago was talking about russia as a strategic partner and now is talking about russia as a direct threat to allies. we will expect ukraine's president to speak at the summit by video link probably. he was invited to madrid but we don't think he will leave his country at the moment. those two countries want to join nato, sweden and finland, being blocked from joining at the moment by turkey.

but the secretary-general has said there will be meetings tomorrow in madrid between the turkish president and the leaders of finland and sweden. a breakthrough would be big news for the summit and something analysts have been waiting for, although slightly more pessimistic in the run-up to the summit. anchor: that is regarding turkey's president and sweden and finland, that is the heart of the matter. can i ask you about how this affects madrid, wonderful city. some of the most important people in the world coming for the summit. how does this change the daily routine for those who live there? reporter: madrid is bracing itself for a city that is impossible to move in easily. many have been advised by the government and local authorities to work from home if they can because streets will be closed

summit in the days to come. next, five judges overseeing the trial into the november 2015 attacks around the french capital are at a secret location tonight to consider their verdicts. the court has held final hearings this monday. there has been nine months of testimony and questioning that have seen the only surviving islamic state attacker begged for clemency. 19 other alleged co-conspirators face charges in the attacks that claimed at least 130 lives. reporter: after nearly 10 months and thousands of hours of testimony, the november 13 paris terrorism trial has concluded. 20 people are facing charges related to their involvement in a series of attacks across the capital that killed 130 people in 2015. this includes the last surviving

member of the terrorist cell that carried out the carnage. he could in-depth sentence to life in prison without the possibility of parole. in his final statement before the court, he apologized and said he hadn't killed anyone. >> i made mistakes, it is true, but i am not a murderer, i am not a killer. if you convict me of murder, you will be committing injustice. reporter: many defendants said the here and change them and offered condolences to the victims. >> i didn't wait to have regrets, everyday we have regrets. it is very hard to see the victims sitting in the room. reporter: afterwards, family members and victims of the attacks said they believed there testimony made a difference. >> the victims testimonies really had an impact. >> we must neverorget that behind the crimes they committed or aided, they are still men. they've done appalling things but they are still men. i imagine they were affected by the trial. reporter: the prosecution has

asked for sentences ranging from five years to life imprisonment. while the defense said it was important the defendants had a chance to offer final remarks. >> these words must be effective. above all we must not repeat procedural elements. it's not a plea, it is less depression. a moment to talk about the victims. it is iortant to see what consequence the nine or 10 months of testimony have had on the individuals's conscience. reporter: now the judges will review all of the evidence and examine the charges of each defendant one by one. their verdict is expected on wednesday. anchor: the verdict expected wednesday, and special programming here on france 24 reflecting the development of the news. next, a louisiana judge is temporarily blocked -- has

temporally blocked the republican led state from banning abortion, after the u.s. supreme court's decision to into the constitutional right to the procedure across the nation. the repealing of the 1973 roe v. wade rolling opens the way for any state to ban abortion, but this block on an abortion been follows the decision of a women's clinic in the state. legal ruling is set to be made july 8. the u.s. supreme court this monday has ruled a washington state public school district violated the rights of a christian high school football coach who was suspended for refusing to stop leading players -- prayers with players on the field after games. of government employees, thes justices cited with the coach. this has become a cause célèbre for conservatives.

the liberal members of the court were dissenting. our correspondent has been watching developments in joins us live. the old saying that politics and sport don't mix seems to have taken on a new angle with this story. reporter: politics, sports and religion in that case. the supreme court siding with the coach, saying t decision by the high school, by the publicigh school was violating his religious freedoms. they basically ruled that public institution had no right to prevent the free exercise of religion of one of its employees. the school had argued that basically because the coach was a public official, by leading those prayers, by praying himself and inviting some of his

players to pray with him, he was putting pressure on them to join and maybe do something they did not want to do. they said that amounted to putting their freedom of religion of a public official above the freedom of religion of individual players that might not be of the same belief or did not believe at all. the court rejecting that and sort of dividing what usc's as -- u.s. sees as separation of church and state. this is the second time in less than a week that the court has expanded the notion of freedom of religion. last week they ruled that the state of maine had no right to exclude religious institutions from its tuition assistance program. meaning the state, if they gave tuition help to students in the

state, they have to give it to all students, even those trying to attend religious schools. you are seeing two separate rulings, going in the same direction of expanding the freedom of religion. anchor: dare i say roe v. wade too, the same stamp of religion perhaps taking precedence of political and even constitutional ideals? reporter: yes. religion playing a big role in these decisions. even more so more broly, these are big victories for the conservative movement. roe v. wade, that was friday.f we have this freedom of religion case just today, and the otr one from maine, and last thuray, you also had that very important expansion of the second amendment, the right to keep and bear arms.

guns, abortion, freedom of religion, three major issues for the conservative movement, and they are seeing this past week as a vindication of the work they have done, whether it is in courts across the country but more specifically, the move to get those conservative supreme court justices on the bench. this big victory for conservatives is mainly a huge victory for the former president, donald trump, who appointed three of those six conservative justices. you are seeing the consequences of that conservative super majority in the court with most of these rulings coming six to three, six conservatives against the three liberal justices. anchor: final question, is there any sense that the supreme court perhaps is playing fast and loose with the constitution in

some way, that it is overstepping? is there a feeling that is going on? reporter: well, it has angered a lot of people in the united states, at least a big half of the united states, the more liberal half of the population. but overall, whether it is democrats or republicans, there was a lack of competence in the supreme court even before these rulings. the polling taken before roe v. wade overturning put confidence in the supreme court at about 25%. that means three quarters of the american population does not have confidence in this court, a court that decides these cases that have very concrete consequences on their day-to-day lives. of course this has been strengthened among liberals because those decisions have gone against the movement of liberals, and a lot of liberals, especially politicians, are now calling out this court for not

being legitimate, for not representing the will of the people, and that is something that is important. a lot of these decisions, especially the one on guns and the one on abortion, does go a little bit against the majority of americans believe. recent polls have shown that, for example, a good majority of americans, even among republicans, were against overturning roe v. wade. they do agree there should be some restrictions on abortion, but not a full out ban and not a full overturning of roe v. wade. for guns, the same. they agree there is a second amendment, but a lot of people agree there should be some restrictions. you are seeing the supreme court really taking the extreme part of the conservative movement and applying that to a population that often doesn't agree with it , so you're seeing calls for the expansion of the court, for term

limits, for changing the way these justices are appointed. right now this is the situation, six very conservative justices and three liberals. anchor: thank you very much indeed. let's remind you of the main world news headlines. a russian missile strike on a ukrainian shopping mall has killed at least 10 pple. president zelenskyy says civilians were the target of over 1000 inside. he is condemning a brazen terrorist strike by russia. five judges are tonight in a secret location to consider their verdict in the paris terror attack trial. 20 suspects, including the only surviving alleged ever of the terrorist cell, face a lengthy jail terms if convicted on the worst ever terror attack on french soil, in 2015. more supreme court controversy,

siding with a football coach praying on the pitch. as was said, it underlines many peoples mistrust of the supreme court, with only 25% of people saying they are confident in the majority -- in the body, which already ruled by conservative justices. let's change the toner little, time for sports. the start of wimbledon. the third ransom of the year. you are not playing this year. >> i am not playing. it is a you -- unique and somewhat controversial wimbledon, because russian players in ukrainian players have been banned. serena williams returns, and about djokovic and rafael nadal continue to battle for the title of greatest player of all time, and no roger federer for the first time since 1999. let's look at some of the

results in a rain affected first day. in marotta county is down -- radacanu is into the second round. she's been apache form since winning the u.s. open a year ago. and ons jabeur with a win, just 53 minutes. her rise has been hardly believable. she hopes to go one step further and become world number one. >> i was number 10 and nine and i said i belong in this ranking and i and i don't believe i deserve to be five or four. but now i feel like i deserve it even more. i even gained and won matches to prove myself at this level. i feel more confident and that i deserve to be at this level. hopefully the next step will be number one.

>> novak veg also threw two the second -- novak djokovic also through the second round. he won his match in four sets. novak djokovic studied in the final two sets to win. he is chasing a seventh wimbledon title, which would take him just one behind record quarter -- holder roger federer. novak djokovic had to recover from shaky performance to win. he's the first player in the open era to win 80 matches, every grand slam. a phenomenal personal accolade. let's move onto the tour de france, which kicks off friday. many familiar faces will not feature in this year's.

one rider is recovering from injury. the frenchman did feature in the national road rage championship, raising questions as to why he couldn't impede. another monument of cycling, mark cavendish has also been left out of the belgian team. he is a joint recordholder for most stage wins on the tour with 34 victories. he also won the british road race title on sunday. they've opted for another sprinter, a dutch writer -- rid er. football is next. nice has confirmed that the former manager is set to return to the club for a second spell. this was head coach was previously in charge.

he has not managed team since the fall of 2020. let's look at some of the latest transfer news. six weeks until many of europe's top leagues resume, major plays being done in board rooms. one of the summer's biggest sagas around manchester city's gabriel jesus, who is set to sign with arsenal. personal terms are said to be discussed. the 25-year-old has 56 -- four brazil. the deal is thought to be for an initial 45 million pounds. anchor: thank you very much. please tell me that charlatan is not leaving.

thank you very much indeed. much more to come from within paris. -- live from paris.
