Well be live from cornwall throughout the day to bring you all the latest from the summit. Im Annita Mcveigh In London New Research by Publich Health England shows that that the delta varriant, first identified in india is associated with an approximately 60 increased risk of Household Transmission compared to the alpha variant, identified in the uk. Fears of a famine in Northern Ethiopia the United Nations humanitarian programme says months of War Have had a devastating effect on the tigray region. A warning from scientists regular and strenuous exercise increases the risk of Motor Neurone Disease in people who are genetically vulnerable. The end of an era as Keeping Up With The Kardashians airs its final episode after 1a years. Good morning im here at Tregenna Castle the resort in St Ives, cornwall in the South West oF England which is hosting World Leaders for the G7 Summit. Its beginning to brighten up after a very misty and drizzly start here in cornwall. Joe biden said who needs The Sunshine when this is such a beautiful country. This three Day Summit sees the leaders of some of the worlds richest nations the us, uk, canada, france, germany, italy, japan, gathering in person for the first time since the pandemic a return to Face To face global diplomacy. And that diplomacy has some monumental challenges how to vaccinate the world, how to drive a Post Pandemic economic recovery and the small matter of tackling climate change. Well, Today Borisjohnson is promising the uk wil donate 100 Million Vaccine Doses to poorer countries that comes after President Biden promised 500 Million doses. Yesterday, Mrjohnson And Mr biden had their first Face To face talks the Prime Minister said the relationship between the two countries is industructible. 0ur diplomatic correspondent James Landale reports. Summits can sometimes be Talking Shops, where the pictures of World Leaders rubbing shoulders or at least elbows are not matched by Policy Decisions that change lives. Well, this g7 could be different, for the wealthy nations which make up this group have a chance to take real action to tackle the Covid Pandemic. In africa, only about 2 of people have been vaccinated, compared to rates of more than 50 in some western countries. So thats why britain is promising to donate 100 Million surplus doses of vaccine over the next year, distributed largely through the global covax mechanism. The uk is really stepping up to the plate, but so is everybody here at the g7. The americans are making a big contribution, and we hope to be telling you more in the next couple of days about the the overall g7 contribution, because theres no point in us just vaccinating the uk we need to vaccinate the world. President biden has gone much further, promising 500 Million doses to poorer countries over the next 12 months, with g7 countries expected to pledge One Billion doses in total. But will it be enough . Not everyone is convinced. This g7 is meeting while the pandemic rages and what has been promised is some dose sharing. But its not coming at the urgency that we need, its not coming at the volume that we need, and its not coming with the financing that we need. What campaigners want is notjust more money to buy doses, but also for richer countries to share technical Know How so they can produce the vaccines themselves. So, as World Leaders begin to arrive in cornwall for the start of the summit, the challenge they face is how best to cooperate On Covid, on climate change, on fixing the world economy. And, for once, their decisions could matter. James landale, Bbc News, cornwall. Just to highlight the global disparity on vaccines one Campaign Group has suggested more people have been vaccinated here in cornwall than in 22 of africa � s poorest nations combined. The Uk Vaccines minister Nadhim Zahawi said its right the Prime Minister has made this global vaccine pledge. It will obviously run into the billions in the sense that weve got to vaccinate the whole world, and at the moment those low and middle income countries, africa, for example, has only vaccinated about 2 of its Adult Population so we need to make a really big effort. I think its right that the Prime Minister has announced this, we have on order over 500 Million doses so we are donating 100 Million doses, we are beginning with Five Million in the next few weeks. That will be delivered by The End of september. 25 Million by The End of this year and then the balance, 70 million, next year. President biden has come forward with 500 Million doses that the us will donate to low and middle income countries and of course, we hope that the g7 will reach A Billion doses. We can now speak to Lis Wallace Head of Uk Advocacy at anti poverty campaigners 0ne. Thank you for being with us. What do you make of this uk pledge, 100 Million Vaccine Doses in the coming year . We million Vaccine Doses in the coming ear . ~. , million Vaccine Doses in the coming ear . ~ , . , year . We welcome it, 100 Million doses is a year . We welcome it, 100 Million doses is a good year . We welcome it, 100 Million doses is a good Start Year . We welcome it, 100 Million doses is a good start from year . We welcome it, 100 Million doses is a good start from the year . We welcome it, 100 Million doses is a good start from the uk| doses is a good start from the uk however the timing is not nearly fast enough. We need the uk to start sharing doses immediately and we have a global pandemic still raging, we cannot be conserving one of the virus is raging, so we call on the uk and all G7 Members to start sharing doses right now. And in addition, we should be backing this up addition, we should be backing this up with a global plan, new money, so we need dollars and doses. £31 up with a global plan, new money, so we need dollars and doses. We need dollars and doses. Of course some peeple we need dollars and doses. Of course some people watching we need dollars and doses. Of course some people watching this we need dollars and doses. Of course some people watching this would we need dollars and doses. Of course some people watching this would say | some people watching this would say we need to make sure we have vaccinated as many people as we can in this country before we start giving Vaccine Doses away to the Rest Of The World . We giving Vaccine Doses away to the Rest Of The World . Giving Vaccine Doses away to the Rest Of The World . We have made fantastic Progress Rest of the world . We have made Fantastic Progress here Rest Of The World . We have made Fantastic Progress here in Rest Of The World . We have made Fantastic Progress here in the Rest Of The World . We have made Fantastic Progress here in the uk| Fantastic Progress here in the uk and we are now at a point we are vaccinating younger and healthier people so we should be starting to share doses with other parts of the world. We have a global supply crisis, covax is struggling to secure vaccines so there are Health Workers in places like nigeria, uganda, that are not yet protected at all so we say we must do both at the same time, sharing doses at the same time as continuing the domestic roll out here at home. The same time as continuing the domestic rollout here at home. Rollout here at home. The uk has made a promise, 100 rollout here at home. The uk has made a promise, 100 Million rollout here at home. The uk has i made a promise, 100 Million doses, the united states has made a promise, 500 Million doses. Do you now want to see other countries stepping up to the plate . We do indeed and stepping up to the plate . We do indeed and this stepping up to the plate . We do indeed and this target stepping up to the plate . We do indeed and this target of stepping up to the plate . We do indeed and this Target Of1 stepping up to the plate . We do | indeed and this Target Of1 billion doses from the g7 must be the absolute floor, its a terrible ceiling, so we need to see these doses, as i say, shared right now but we need much more ambition of the G7 Name members. We would hope to see1 Billion the G7 Name members. We would hope to see 1 Billion doses the G7 Name members. We would hope to see1 Billion doses by the G7 Name members. We would hope to see 1 Billion doses by The End of this year, accelerating beyond that, we should be getting to 2 Billion doses as fast as possible, that requires every Country Sharing as many doses as possible, and committing to do that this weekend at the g7. , ~ lets show you some pictures from Newquay Airport, the president of the European Commission, Ursula Von Der Leyen, she is arriving, there she is. Part of this G7 Summit here in cornwall. There are quite a few other figures as well, that we are expecting, not technically part of the g7, for example the leaders of australia, south korea, south Africa And India as well. The Prime Minister of india Will Bejoining on zoom. Ursula Von Der Leyen here on a rather misty and drizzly morning in cornwall. Amid some Post Brexit tensions between the European Union and the uk Over Northern Ireland in particular. And she will certainly be talking to borisjohnson in the coming days about those tensions. And the americans have certainly made plain their concern about those tensions. So there is Ursula Von Der Leyen, president of the European Commission. 0ur diplomatic correspondent James Landale isjust across the county in falmouth. How important do you think those discussions will be, its a thorny issue that will have to be talked about . � ,. , issue that will have to be talked about . � ,. ,. , , about . Its a thorny issue, whether it will be formally about . Its a thorny issue, whether it will be formally on about . Its a thorny issue, whether it will be formally on the about . Its a thorny issue, whether it will be formally on the agenda i about . Its a thorny issue, whether it will be formally on the agenda is | it will be formally on the agenda is less likely however whenever you have World Leaders together, they are going to discuss issues on the sidelines, the fact that you had the leaders of france, germany, italy and the two european, European Commission and the European Council leaders, inevitably they will discuss it and use it as an opportunity to put pressure on the british government to move on this because they know they have an ally in the shape ofJoe Biden, the us president. I think there will be discreet attempt to do a little bit of leverage on the british government, saying you have to sort this out but the british are standing firm for the moment, saying it is up to the European Commission to show some flexibility on this but it will certainly be an issue but as you say, is not the only issue, there is much bigger issues to sort. Certainly, and lets talk about those. Post Pandemic Recovery for example, how to vaccinate the world, and climate change lots of absolutely monumental issues and some people will say, the g7, its this rather, rather strange collection of richer nations, is this the right vehicle to be driving global change at this pivotal moment in World History . The global change at this pivotal moment in World History . In World History . The g7 as you say is a curious in World History . The g7 as you say is a curious beast, in World History . The g7 as you say is a curious beast, it in World History . The g7 as you say is a curious beast, it has in World History . The g7 as you say is a curious beast, it has no is a curious beast, it has no secretary, does not exist apart from the here and now, these summits that happen once a year. But i think what the g7 doors and has shown in the past, it can be places where debates are started, narratives are formed, it was for example, at a G7 Summit many years ago, were at the richer nations decided to cancel an awful lot of debt that was owed to them by developing countries and started a huge process of developing these economies Around The World by freeing them up that debt and it was a crucial decision made at an event like this so they can make a difference and people are talking about this weekend is one of those events for a potentially crucial decisions can be taken, notjust on trying to fix the pandemic faster but also on the Post Pandemic recovery, as and when that happens. But also, as you say, taking crucial decisions, notjust about how much these rich countries cut their own emissions by On The Road to the Big Cup 26 Summit in november but crucially agree how much they will give the poor developing countries to their own economies to climate change, that they say is nothing to do with them, its all the fault of the rich countries, industrialising themselves so much over the years. These are actually four months really important decisions, if they are taken this weekend, more than the usual Talking Shop where there are lots of ambitions but not much follow through. Are lots of ambitions but not much followthrough. Are lots of ambitions but not much followthrough. James, good to talk to ou. Followthrough. James, good to talk to yom thank followthrough.

We can now speak to Creon Butler he is a former Cabinet Office Director for international economic affairs. He is now director of global Economy And Finance programme, chatham house. Thank you forjoining us. I think you used to help organise events like this . How important is it at a summit like this it is a return to Face To Face Diplomacy, it is not on Video Link resume, this is leaders spending time together, having Dinner And Lunch together. Debbie even having a drink together . Maybe even having a drink together . It is the first meeting of World Leaders since the pandemic began, theyve been able to do a little preparation and quite a view of the ministerial had taken place online but i think you are right. Its critical to have this in Person Aspect in order to get the really big decisions through. {elite aspect in order to get the really big decisions through. Aspect in order to get the really big decisions through. Give us an insiuht, big decisions through. Give us an insight. As big decisions through. Give us an insight. As i big decisions through. Give us an insight, as i say, big decisions through. Give us an insight, as i say, youve big decisions through. Give us an insight, as i say, youve been insight, as i say, youve been behind the scenes. How much an honesty is decided before the leaders meet and how much is actually decided by the leaders at the time, at the summit . In the time, at the summit . I practice, there will be a lot the time, at the summit . In practice, there will be a lot of the text, if you like, the final statement, prepared beforehand but there will typically be one or two, if you like, straight points that the presidency will leave open, they may get decided, during the negotiations, the sherpas, as the leaders are meeting, in some cases, elements of that will actually go into discussions either in a plenary discussion or sometimes in bilateral meetings. So some important bits, you know, maybe on the 1 meetings. So some important bits, you know, maybe on the1 Billion donations of vaccines, if that isnt there yet in terms of other contributions on top of those already made, that is something that could be secured through those final stages, the in person interactions. How much is decided at those plenary meetings that you are talking about . And then there is also bilateral and trilateral, and also charts in the corridor or in the garden and so on . How important are those . The plenary sessions can how important are those . The plenary sessions can be how important are those . The plenary sessions can be really how important are those . The plenary sessions can be really quite sessions can be really quite important, especially in the g7 because the g7 is a much smaller Group Sit around the table. And certainly, in the past few years, you know, less so i think with President Trump, given the kind of tensions that were there, but if you go back to the 0bama era, there were some really important discussions on how the western countries should engage with china, approaches to russia and so on, that took place in the plenary, but then there will also be the bilateral sessions as well, in the g7, its really quite important. In the t20 other groups, plenary sessions are much more formulaic which sets peoples speeches and so on so i think the g7 is quite unique in that respect. You mentioned china, lets talk about the wider role of the g7 because some people say its the richer nations, its the democratic nations, its the democratic nations, the liberal democracies, and its sort of their alliance against china and the growing threat that china poses to the world. As The Party how you see the g7 . Tito. That china poses to the world. As The Party how you see the g7 . Ho. J The Party how you see the g7 . No, i think its a The Party how you see the g7 . No, i think its a lot The Party how you see the g7 . No, i think its a lot more The Party how you see the g7 . No, i think its a lot more nuanced The Party how you see the g7 . Fin, i think its a lot more nuanced than that in the sense that the two kero is the g7 will have, one of those, we are seeing with global health, the g7 is preparing an approach, an approach which is notjust written for the g7 countries themselves but for the g7 countries themselves but for the g7 countries themselves but for the world as a whole. And they will take that forward into other groups including the g20. So other areas where this is happening is global Cooperation Tax deals, the approach to debt in developing countries, climate change. Its a really influential group, not as dominant as it would have been 30 or 40 dominant as it would have been 30 or a0 years ago but its a very influential group. But then theres another set of issues that i think also be important, perhaps increasingly important, the g7 countries work out among themselves things that they feel they need to do in order to protect their interests so this might be in the area of digital governance, for example, Orsome Area of digital governance, for example, or some of the issues to do with investment screening. And the g7 can be an important forum in those economic security areas, enabling the g7 countries to work out what they want to coordinate on. The key thing is that one needs to be integrated with the other, and thatis be integrated with the other, and that is one way why it is helpful to do both of those things in the same place. Do both of those things in the same lace. ~ ,. Do both of those things in the same lace. ~ i. , do both of those things in the same lace. ~ ,. ~ do both of those things in the same lace. ~. ~ place.

And as well as the g7 countries that are l well as the g7 countries that are represented here, there are four other countries that will be represent presented, making up the so called d11, those include australia, south korea, India And South africa. That is it from here in cornwall. Well have much more from the summit throughout the day, but for now back to the studio. Thank you so much. Local Public Health leaders in the uk are urging the government to delay the final lifting of coronavirus restrictions in england, planned for later this month. The association of directors of Public Health is warning that fully unlocking Onjune 21st risks an increase in Hospital Admissions and could reverse progress that has been made. Matt graveling reports. Monday, the 21st Ofjune. Its been a key date in most of our diaries for months the day on which the nation can unmask, and sit as close to as many friends as we like. But hasjune the 21st come too soon . Ministers say they will confirm by monday if the lifting of all remaining legal restrictions in england will still go ahead on this date. But some scientists want a delay to allow more time to examine the spread of the variant first identified in india, and the impact on hospital numbers. But the Hospitality Industry says that another delay will mean some businesses are forced to close their doors for good. The association of directors of Public Health Say Covid is not going to disappear on the 21st Ofjune, and lifting all measures risks reversing the Progress Weve made. That it could leave us vulnerable to new variants, alongside an increase in the number of people in hospital. Their message to the government is simple extend current measures because patience now will pay off later. Its a big decision, and one thats still being made. These are the tough decisions that government have to make. Weve had to make them all along. You know, theres a lot of people who want To Go slower, theres a lot of people who want To Go faster. The impact on business is devastating. The impact on events and the Summer Events is devastating. There is nothing easy about these decisions. I havent seen the data. The government is getting the data. With a decision expected in the coming days, both scientists and the government agree. That monday the 21st Ofjune needs to be more about the data than the date. Matt graveling, Bbc News. New research by Publich Health England shows that that the Delta Variant first identified in india is associated with an approximately 60 increased risk of Household Transmission compared to the alpha variant, identified in the uk. I can now speak to Dr Shaun Fitzgerald from cambridge university, whos a member of the sage environmental modelling group. Good to have you with us. This latest data on the Delta Variant, backs up what scientists and doctors have been telling us, but its more infectious. What does this mean for the management of this virus, do you think . In the management of this virus, do you think . ,. ,. Think . In terms of reducing the de. Ree think . In terms of reducing the decree of think .

In terms of reducing the I Degree of transmission, one does need to think very carefully about what levels of ventilation, just how rigorous one is regarding compliance with face coverings, social distancing. All of these have been required throughout the pandemic and when something is more transmissible, hesjust become when something is more transmissible, hes just become even more important. 50 transmissible, hes ust become even more important. More important. So its back to those basics. More important. So its back to those basics, trying more important. So its back to those basics, trying to more important.

Indeed, and we are mid june and therefore spending more i june and therefore spending more time outside, its a fantastic way of reducing risks through multiple transmission rates, so, for example, clearly we are immersed in a lot more fresh air when you are outside but there are fewer surfaces on which you might be able to touch and space away from other people, you can do this much more easily so being outside in this weather, we should be grateful now, its mid june, we are able to avail ourselves of that. ,. ,. ,. , of that. Public Health England Data Sa S where of that. Public Health England data says where lots of that. Public Health England data says where lots of of that. Public Health England data says where lots of people of that. Public Health England data says where lots of people have of that. Public Health England dataj says where lots of people have had both Vaccine Doses, this mitigates the impact of the Delta Variant. So as the government in westminster considers what is going to happen in england on the 21st Ofjune, whether those final bunch of restrictions are going to be eased, how difficult is it going to be to weigh up the fact that yes, lots of people have had a vaccine, lots of people have had a vaccine, lots of people have had two doses of a vaccine but that varies from place to place . Scientifically, it is hard, it is a moving situation right now, the number of people being vaccinated. And also, we have this new variant, trying to get data on that regarding transmissibility so because its a moving feast, as it were, it makes it extremely difficult for ministers to make a decision and to be absolutely clear, the 21st Ofjune Date as i understood was the date before which actually there would be no changes and only at that date, it was always going to be based on the data available at that time but of course that is being reviewed daily and will continue to be reviewed, i dare say, over the weekend. Clarity of messaging dare say, over the weekend. Clarity of messaging here dare say, over the weekend. Clarity of messaging here is dare say, over the weekend. Clarity of messaging here is absolutely of messaging here is absolutely essential . Indeed. The Prime Minister has essential . Indeed. The Prime Minister has been essential . Indeed.

Does this give a bit more structure to the uk � s promises, hitherto . I to the uk s promises, hitherto . I think this initiative is incredibly important, Asjeremy Parore Has made clear, we are not going to be free of this virus, say from it until the world is suppressed and it has to do with things such as the mutations that will be circulating globally. We are exposed to those as the result of travel through the uk and if we cant therefore get everybody safe, globally, it will make us much safer so i completely applaud the initiative of 100 Million from the uk.

When the soul kicked off he made it clear this could be going on for really quite some time but we are now looking at the next year, trying to get as many people globally vaccinated as possible. I think its a wonderful initiative. Doctor fitzgerald, thank you. Lets Ta Ke lets take you back to Newquay Airport, the french president and his wife, they have just arrived. Emmanuel macron. If you have been keeping an eye on what various leaders have said in the situation between the uk and the eu, the issue of the northern anna protocol, hes been speaking about this in the last couple of days. After Ursula Von Der Leyen said the protocol was the only solution and it should be implemented fully, President Macron said he did not think it was serious for the Uk Government to want to reviewed now what was finalised in the Brexit Deal after years of Debate And Workjust at the Brexit Deal after years of Debate And Work just at the the Brexit Deal after years of Debate And Workjust at The End of last year. He said we have a trade deal, it has been painfully discussed for years, six months later, they come at the Uk Government says what we negotiated with you, we dont Know How to respect it, then that means nothing is respectable any more. That was the quote from Mr Macron with regards to the issue of the northern anna protocol, so there he is arriving at Newquay Airport for these important discussions, the G7 Group of leading nations. 0ver these important discussions, the G7 Group of leading nations. Over the next couple of days. The northern Ireland Protocol. The un s humanitarian chief says there is a famine in Northern Ethiopia. Un backed analysis found that 350,000 people were living in severe crisis in and around the war torn region, where government forces are fighting rebels. But the ethiopian government, which rejects the analysis, insists its restoring order there. Mark lobel reports. 1a year old adana muez, one of hundreds of thousands in Northern Ethiopia caught in what the un calls a catastrophic food situation. His uncle says he was as strong as a lion before this. Translation we were hiding and living in a cave for more than three months because of the war. We were only eating roasted barley. Six people died and we had to bury them during the evening, as it was not possible to do it during the day. This mother relies on Food Hand outs since her home was destroyed. Translation there l were about 20 of them. They gathered around my house and thrashed all my crops. I have nightmares of my house from before it was burned and we had to flee to another area. They kept getting closer, burning all of the harvested crops and straw. They burned everything i had. Food Security Analysis shows Ethiopias War torn tigray and two neighbouring states have the highest number of people living in severe crisis since Somalias Famine a decade ago. To be very honest, people are at the Starvation Level with excess mortality. Ethiopias government rejects that. It says its restoring order across the region, insisting humanitarian access is being expanded. We dont have any food shortage. But the World Food Programme is ramping up its Food Distributions to reach around 1. 5 million people, and the uns humanitarian chief Mark Lowcock goes further. He says of ethiopias north, adding. Its a clear warning if insecurity exists and accessing those in need remains problematic, more Starvation And Death will follow. Mark lobel, Bbc News. The headlines on Bbc News ahead of the G7 Summit of global leaders, uk prime Minister Borisjohnson pledges to donate 100 Million Vaccine Doses to developing countries over the next year. New research by public Health England shows that that the Delta Variant, first identified in india is associated with an approximately 60 increased risk of Household Transmission compared to the alpha variant, identified in the uk. Fears of a famine in Northern Ethiopia. The United Nations humanitarian programme says months of War Have had a devastating effect on the tigray region. Excitement across a whole continent the delayed whistle to start the Euro 2020 Football Tournament will finally blow later in rome. The end of an era as Keeping Up With The Kardashians, airs its final episode after 1a years. Lets head to cornwall now where the G7 Summit of World Leaders is getting under way Ben Brown is there for us. Good morning. It is getting a little brighter here in cornwall im here at Tregenna Castle, the resort in St Ives, cornwall in the South West oF England which is hosting World Leaders for the G7 Summit. In addition to them, the president of the European Commission Ursula Von Der Leyen has just arrived, and the french president , you saw some pictures of him arriving at Newquay Airport a few moments ago. 1500 Police Officers from devon and coral police, Plus 5000 extra police as well. As there is a Type 23 Frigate of the coast as well. 0ur correspondent, Nomia Iqbal has taken to two wheels, to find out how the area is preparing for its debut, on the worlds political stage. What a picture perfect view. But this isnt a holiday. Spot the security. Theres lots of them, including armed officers, theres warships on the bay, and that is because of what is happening in a hotel over there, where World Leaders are meeting for the G7 Summit. So, what is it like being here . Lets go for a cycle. As you can see, the security begins as soon as you leave your front door, and its notjust officers from Devon And Cornwall here, but Police Officers have been brought in from all around the country to police the G7 Summit. Hi, are you all right . Yeah. We have our passes. May i ask where you are going today . We are having a little cycle around the village. Im from the bbc. That is my pass. That proves. 0k, perfect. I need to be here. There are so many Police Officers here. We have just seen a double Decker Bus go past full of Police Officers. It really emphasises how they have beefed up security here in cornwall, ahead of the summit. Just getting to a roundabout. Yeah. Road closed. A lot of those signs. You can see why local residents are not happy about the G7 Summit being here because it has really disrupted their normal routine. We are stuck in traffic again. The traffic has gone. Lets go i can ride now a little bit more freely. But there is huge traffic here, and you can see why a lot of local residents arent happy about the summit. Its a real disruption to them, especially as Tourist Season is starting and people are slowly coming out of lockdown, as well. To have the summit here, forsome, is a hindrance. But there are also those people who recognise that it is a massive opportunity for cornwall to be shown off on the global stage. Not everyone is unhappy about the G7 Summit being here. Look at that pub. We are now cycling away from the main road. More Police Officers. I have had to come off my bike and walk it down the path, because the main road here has been blocked off for some distance now. There it goes all that security for one us motorcade. And people here can expect way more than that over the next few days. I must say, i got it at the castle by Media Minibus rather than bicycle, slightly easier especially if you have got the right passes. But amongst the key people here, not only the G7 Leaders themselves but members of the Royal Family will be hosting receptions tonight, including the Queen And Prince charles. I think for borisjohnson in the Post Brexit world, the Prime Minister really sees this as a chance for britain, global britain, as he would see it, to have the opportunity to start coordinating global action on a host of key issues, notjust the pandemic and vaccinating the world and Post Pandemic economic recovery, but also, climate change and many other issues as well. It really is a packed agenda and perhaps one of the most crucial G7 Summits there has been and a return for the first time since the pandemic began to Face To Face Diplomacy. That is it from cornwall. Back to you. Thanks, ben, Ben Brown will have more for us throughout the day. The Prime Minister says that he and President Biden are Working Together on the case of Harry Dunn who was killed after his motorbike collided with a car driven by a us citizen. The 19 year old died in northamptonshire almost two years ago. The driver of the Car Anne sacoolas claimed Diplomatic Immunity and returned to the us, but prosecutors want her to face trial in the uk for causing death by dangerous driving. Borisjohnson discussed the case withJoe Biden yesterday. Harry dunns Mother Charlotte charles says she would welcome a meeting with the pm and would also like to discuss the situation with President Biden. She told the bbc that the family were still upset about their last meeting with the former us president Donald Trump. We got invited to the white house. We thought we were just meeting with a senior official, and then when we got there, we quickly realised that it was actually President Trump, as it was at the time. But sadly, we were told that anne sacoolas was in the room next door to us. We shouldnt have been shocked, with Mr Trumps past record, but we were. You know, we were still in shock from having only lost harry seven or eight weeks before, and our brains are still very foggy now. They dont operate like they used to. But only seven weeks into losing harry, they were a complete mess. We were a complete mess. We still are a complete mess. So to have it sprung on us that she was in the next room, we didnt have any therapists, we didnt have any mediators, as did she not have any either, so we really didnt feel it was the right thing to do for her and for us, to have that nasty surprise sprung on us. So we quite rightly said no to that meeting. We would hope that President Biden wouldnt do that. We dont think for a second that it would enter his mind to do that. So as much as we would still really like to meet Prime Ministerjohnson, we very much would welcome a meeting with President Biden, too, to perhaps give us a bit of a better impression of what us president s can be. Radd seiger is the spokesman for Harry Dunns family. This case is operating at three different levels, so you have the political and diplomatic level, which is where the president and Prime Minister and their officials are getting involved. And it seems to us now that they are working hard to clear a path towards a potential prosecution. But in this country, prosecutions are run by the Crown Prosecution Service and are controlled by thejudges in court. So this appears to us to be a positive Step Forward, now we have a president who appears to be at least receptive to our case and the Nations Case Thatjustice must be done following the tragic death of harry, but it now seems to be in the hands of the Crown Prosecution Service and the lawyers there to actually move things forward at a practical level. And also there is the question of having anne sacoolas Diplomatic Immunity removed, at what stage are we up to with that, as far as you are aware . Yes, to be clear, if her Diplomatic Immunity remains in place, if its not waived, there can be no prosecution, so it seems to us, as a family, that that is what is being openly discussed now between the president and the Prime Minister and its what the family and the nation have been crying out for, for all of these months, it doesnt matter who you are, even if you have Diplomatic Immunity, it should not be used in these circumstances, and lets be honest, this was not america s this was not americas finest hour in terms of treating its closest ally very well. And we are just, honestly, thrilled that President Biden is now in place and clearly taking a completely different approach to it. We have just heard some of What Charlotte has had to say about all of this. What else can you tell us about the Familys Reaction to these latest developments . To be honest, its a miracle to me that they get out of bed each day. They are suffering intensely. They wont mind me saying that they are all seeking psychiatric help, and you and i might understand what is going on with the diplomatic and political levels but they do not and they really struggle to comprehend that these two World Leaders, you know, on this day of all days, are talking about their son, who is from rural northamptonshire, it still blows their minds. I think they are overwhelmed by it and you know, ive Got Charlotte sitting not very far away from me, she is in floods of tears and reallyjust contemplating what the next hour is. Clearly, we are all pleased but equally anxious to see that things move ahead as quickly as possible. The spokesman for Harry Dunlop my family, there. Harry dunlops family. Regular and strenuous exercise increases the risk of Motor Neurone Disease in people who are genetically vulnerable according to a study. Researchers at the University Of Sheffield say the number of high profile athletes who have developed the disease is not a coincidence. The scientists say nobody should stop exercising as a result of the study, but they hope the findings the research was headed by Professor Dame Pam shaw, who is the director of the Neuroscience Institute at the University Of Sheffield. As a clinician, Doing Clinics for patients with mnd, i have always suspected that being a fit, athletic sort of person is a risk factor, but the studies that have been done until now in the medical literature have been controversial. Some studies have shown a link and other studies have not confirmed that and i think the Step Forward with the research we have just published is that it confirms there is a causal link between being the sort of person that does strenuous, regular Physical Activity, and the development of mnd, but not in everyone, only in genetically susceptible individuals. Ok, so you were seeing enough people who did a lot of exercise and who had Motor Neurone Disease to make you suspicious that there was some sort of link, it was more than just a coincidence, so how were you able to identify the link . We used new techniques. In the study we have just published, we took three approaches, and the first approach was to use a sophisticated technique called mendelian randomisation, and what that means, in a nutshell is that you study the genetic architecture of hundreds of thousands of individuals who have completed a physical Exercise Questionnaire and from that, you can identify the Genetic Variations that predispose the person to be an athlete, to have a high level of Physical Activity. You then take another big genetic set of data to identify the Risk Factors for mnd, and you put the two together. So the first set is the exposure, which is high levels of Physical Activity. The Second Genetic Set is the outcome, which is the development of Motor Neurone Disease. Ok, so what is the message now . Should people reduce their Exercise Levels . I think we are not at the stage where we can say that in a robust way yet. What we need to do, we have identified the Bodys Stress Response to acute Physical Activity, and the suspicion is that patients susceptible to mnd dont mount the full physiological Stress Response so we need to dig down into those complex pathways to pull out precisely the genetic Risk Factors. But we did take one subset of patients with mnd who have the commonest genetic cause of the disease, it is caused by a mutation in a gene called c9orf72 and 10 of Mnd Patients will have that change so we looked carefully at the history of physical exercise in those patients that have the C9 Change and what we found is if you have that genetic risk factor, and you have high levels of Physical Activity as part of your lifestyle, then you develop the mnd at a younger age compared to those who dont have high levels of Physical Activity. Sorry to interrupt you. No problem. So are you talking about starting some kind of screening programme, is that what you would hope to do . Were not ready to do that yet. We need to delve into the specific genetic changes that predispose an individual, and that is notjust one thing. It is going to be a complex mixture of Genetic Variation so the next step in our programme is to delve into that and then i hope we would be able to identify the genetic Risk Factors which, when combined with a lifestyle that involves high levels of Physical Activity, predisposes the person to develop mnd. And the ultimate aim is to be able to predict risk, to allow people to make lifestyle choices, but more importantly, it may enable us to take up preventative strategies. Professor Dame Pamela Shaw talking to me earlier. Noel conway the assisted dying campaigner who had Motor Neurone Disease has passed away. The 71 year old was diagnosed with mnd in 201a. Towards The End of his life, he was reliant on a ventilator to help him breathe. Mr conway worked with the Charity Dignity in dying, campaigning to get the law on assisted suicide changed. In a statement written before his death, he said he had made a conscious and deliberate effort to end his life, having decided to stop using his ventilator. Euro 2020 gets under way later today, with italy playing turkey in rome. Its one of the 12 cities across europe that will host the tournament, delayed from last year due to the pandemic. The multi Venue Tournament was the brainchild of former uefa president michel platini, but in the midst of a pandemic, the logistics of hosting the event are a constant challenge, as Jim Lumsden reports. Better late than never. A year after they were originally scheduled to kick off, the euros are upon us. 2a countries will be in action in cities spread across the whole of europe, A Logistical Challenge Made Nightmare by the pandemic, but back are the fans, albeit in limited numbers and a symbol of hope that and a return to some kind of normality. It is very very important that people can go back to the stadiums, also in limited numbers, that they see normality is coming back for football in europe, for football in the world. Its very important that spectators are back and football is played, not only on the top level but also on the Amateur And Youth level. On friday, the Stadio 0limpico will be almost a quarter of capacity for the Curtain Raiser of italy versus turkey. Supporters will access the stadium through five entrances where theyll be scrutinised by thermal cameras and have their temperatures taken. Translation the fans must rest assured that it is a wonderful opportunity to restart Sport And Life so its not just about a match. The number of fans in the stadium has a symbolic value. We will have the eyes of A Billion people on us so its notjust a European Event but a global event, so we will be Waiting For You in rome, we will be Waiting For You at the olympic stadium. There is also the issue of thousands of people crisscrossing borders to follow their team. That has prompted fears some games could be at risk of becoming super spreading events. The organisers do not think so. Immunity in the population is much higher, also because of the vaccination, which is picking up all over europe. We will have a little risk that one or another people will be sick or will have the virus, but this will not go out to spreading and they will not become super spreading events. So, what of the football itself . All Roads Lead to rome for the start of the month long carnival with italy and turkey. Its nearly three years since the italians last lost and they are unbeaten in 27 games. Turkey have never got the better of them. Inevitably, the tournament comes complete with a gimmick. Expect to see much more of the psychic sausage dog. Will he go for Turkish Kebabs or italian spaghetti . He fancies both because hes a dog. So, 1 1. Jim lumsden, Bbc News. Its the show that made megastars out of Kim Kardashian, her mother and sisters, but after more than a decade, the american Reality Tv Show Keeping Up With The Kardashians has aired its final episode. From beauty to fashion, theyve re shaped The Business Of Entertainment, becoming Pop Culture icons. Tanya dendrinos reports, and a warning there are some flashing images. 1a years, 20 series, babies, break ups, make ups, and all the drama in between. Stop agreeing with him because that is not true. And now the grand finale. I guess the 0sbournes would be considered the first family of reality tv, but the kardashians took it to another level. They took and blurred the lines between tv and Social Media and they added a Brand Element to It Thatjust changed the business. It was a rather unorthodox rise to fame for the kardashian clan, turning lemons to lemonade. There was once a time in our business, you know, if you had risque photos or a pornographic video, it would ruin your career. But instead, Kim Kardashian got paid millions of dollars for a Sex Tape with her ex boyfriend, rayj, by vivid entertainment, that released it, and that was the springboard that helped mainstream this family. The Family Portrait has morphed significantly over the years, and all in the public eye. There have been positive impacts, like visibility for the trans community, thanks to caitlynjenner. But theres also been an undeniable influence on Pop Culture and societal notions of beauty. We know that young girls now want To Go to doctors and get bottoms and noses and faces, and you know, look like Porcelain Dolls like a lot of these sisters. But that is what The Business Of Entertainment is. These girls are entertaining people. They are not trying to parent people and so parents have to do a good job of influencing their kids and not let the kardashians raise them. It is A Billion dollar business, quite literally for Kim Kardashian. And while we will no longer be keeping up, there is already new content in the works under a deal with disney, so, love or loathe it, the Kardashian Empire is here to stay. Tanya dendrinos, Bbc News. With me now is dr meredithjones, she is the director of institute for communities and society at Brunel University london and is hosting her Second Kardashian Symposium or kimposium later this year. Thank you forjoining us. Full disclosure, i have never kept up with the kardashians, ive never watched a single episode although i absolutely know who they are of course so why do you think the show has had such Success And Longevity and so many viewers . Has had such Success And Longevity and so many viewers . Great question, it is the ultimate and so many viewers . Great question, it is the ultimate question, and so many viewers . Great question, it is the ultimate question, of it is the ultimate question, of course, i have to admit myself, i am trying to keep up with them right now, i am only halfway through the last episode. They are so popular for so many intertwined reasons. Lots of people talk about the kardashians and especially Kim Kardashians and especially Kim Kardashian as being talentless, this kind of new celebrity that has no talent, who is Famous For Being famous. But one of the reasons they are so successful is that Kim Kardashian in particular has a distinct talent for knowing the zeitgeist and for really riding the wave of the Zeitgeist Right from the start. You could say part of the reason they have decided to finish the show at this point is because they can see that this particular form of tv is coming to an end. So there is that, that they have ridden there is that, that they have ridden the zeitgeist, and they have ridden that in all sorts of ways, things to do with what the Ideal American Family now is at least perceived to be. Forthem, that family now is at least perceived to be. For them, that is especially to do with mixed race families, which there absolutely is. They have also led the way in a new definition of what a beautiful woman is. So they saw out the idea that the only truly beautiful ideal was tall, slim, blonde, very white. They brought in a new kind of ideal, and of course, that ideal is morphing as well. Then; that ideal is morphing as well. They look has evolved that ideal is morphing as well. They look has evolved over the years, hasnt it, and become more polished . And they have built business empires. Isuppose and they have built business empires. I suppose the big question is, in that process over the years, have they empowered women . I think the have, have they empowered women . I think they have. Yes have they empowered women . I think they have, yes. Looking have they empowered women . I think they have, yes. Looking at have they empowered women . I think they have, yes. Looking at it have they empowered women . I think they have, yes. Looking at it from they have, yes. Looking at it from various different feminist perspectives, i would say that overall, they have empowered women in very particular ways, in ways that say, it is ok to get very, very rich, it is ok to want to be extremely wealthy and extremely famous. Those are kind of the worst ways they have empowered women but there are other, more subtle ways. You have to remember, they are a matriarchy. The youngest sister, kylie, went right ahead and had a baby by herself. Yes, there is a father in the picture but she never spokein father in the picture but she never spoke in any way about marrying him or even about living with him. She chose to be a single mother. I think she was 20, she might have been 19 when she fell pregnant. So they have changed lots of things. They have made lots of women feel that there are new ways of being a woman. Ahshd made lots of women feel that there are new ways of being a woman. find i are new ways of being a woman. And i ust want are new ways of being a woman. And i just want to are new ways of being a woman. And i just want to ask are new ways of being a woman. And i just want to ask you, are new ways of being a woman. And i just want to ask you, what are new ways of being a woman. And i just want to ask you, what happens At A Kardashian Symposium . What goes on . A, At A Kardashian Symposium .

Dr Meredith Jones from Brunel University In London, there. Coming up, much more from the g7 in cornwall but stay with us throughout the day for lots more on that. Youre watching Bbc News. Hello, little bit more sunshine and for some of you who have had grey sky so far today and even in places like cornwall, where we have seen scenes like this in the past few days, beamed out across the world, there will be some Blue Skies around this weekend. In fact, much more sunshine developing across the country this weekend, still quite humid, if you are not enjoying that, and for some, as The Sun comes out, it will feel particularly hot. Today, however, feels a bit fresher. Weather fronts pushing in from the North And West. The northern half of the country will have a slightly fresher feel. Those Weather Fronts still producing a few showers across the North And West of scotland, northern ireland, into the afternoon. Some Drizzly Light Rain Into Wales and South West england and then a zone of thicker cloud through the midlands towards the wash as we go through the afternoon. To the South And East of that, still some sunshine, to the north, a better chance of some Afternoon Sunshine compared with this morning and more of a breeze, which is helping to bring in slightly fresher conditions. Still pleasant enough in The Sunshine but to the South East, still very humid with temperatures like yesterday, 2a or 25 degrees. That means of course it will be humid for those heading to the cricket. Maybe not quite so much by The End of the afternoon. Lots of cloud and the outside chance of a bit of drizzle during the middle part of the day but we will see a lot of play if not a complete days play today. This evening and overnight, showers Over Northern Ireland and 0rkney And Shetland, partly clear skies across the rest of the country, still a fair bit of cloud but compared to last night and the night before, temperatures down a bit. While it still will be mild, it wont be quite as muggy as we start the weekend. For the weekend, the humid air will be back because high pressure is building, pushing up from the azores and we start to bring in some pretty warm air around it once again but we will also see increasing amounts of sunshine. On saturday, any Morning Cloud will break up for many, and we will see some good sunny spells into the afternoon. A few showers for 0rkney And Shetland and some high cloud drifting in and turning the Skies Milky across northern ireland and western scotland. It stops the Temperature Rise here but elsewhere, after a slightly fresher start, a very pleasant day with temperatures for many in the high teens if not low to mid 20s. Into sunday, early Morning Mist and fog clears and lots of sunshine for the vast majority. Some Cloud And Rain for the hebrides and Lewis And Harris later but for most, it is going to be a sunny day and a hot one. 26 in the east of scotland and we get close to 30 across parts of the midlands and South East england. See you soon. This is Bbc News im Ben Brown. These are the latest headlines in the uk and Around The World. Ahead of the G7 Summit of global leaders, prime Minister Borisjohnson pledges to donate 100 Million Vaccine Doses to developing countries over the next year. The fight against covid would not be possible without the uks effort on vaccines. Borisjohnson has hailed the alliance between the us and the uk as an indestructible relationship. Well be live from Cornwall Throughtout the day to bring you all the latest from the summit. Imjoanna gosling In London. The Prime Minister has also said that he and President Biden are Working Together to resolve the row about the death of Harry Dunn, killed after a collision involving a car driven by a us citizen. New research by public Health England shows that that the Delta Variant, first identified in india is associated with an approximately 60 increased risk of Household Transmission compared to the alpha variant, identified in the uk. Lets go straight to Ben Brown stop. Lets go straight to Ben Brown hello from cornwall. Good morning im here at Tregenna Castle the resort in St Ives, cornwall in the South West oF England which is hosting World Leaders for the G7 Summit. Britain has the presidency of the g7 at the moment and is why it is in the united kingdom. A chance for borisjohnson to show off Post Brexit british global democracy and a chance to show off the beauties of the Cornish Coastline and a chance to boost, hopefully, cornish tourism. This is a three Day Summit that sees the leaders of some of the worlds richest nations coming together. The us, uk, canada, france, germany, italy, japan, gathering in person for the first time since the pandemic a return to Face To face global diplomacy. And that diplomacy has some monumental challenges how to vaccinate the world, how to drive a Post Pandemic economic recovery and the small matter of tackling climate change. Well Today Borisjohnson is promising the uk wil donate 100 Million Vaccine Doses to poorer countries that comes after President Biden promised 500 Million doses. Yesterday Mrjohnson And Mr biden had their first Face To face talks. The Prime Minister said the relationship between the two countries is industructible. 0ur diplomatic correspondent James Landale reports. Summits can sometimes be Talking Shops, where the pictures of World Leaders rubbing shoulders or at least elbows are not matched by Policy Decisions that change lives. Well, this g7 could be different, for the wealthy nations which make up this group have a chance to take real action to tackle the Covid Pandemic. In africa, only about 2 of people have been vaccinated, compared to rates of more than 50 in some western countries. So thats why britain is promising to donate 100 Million surplus doses of vaccine over the next year, distributed largely through the global covax mechanism. The uk is really stepping up to the plate, but so is everybody here at the g7. The americans are making a big contribution, and we hope to be telling you more in the next couple of days about the the overall g7 contribution, because theres no point in us just vaccinating the uk we need to vaccinate the world. President biden has gone much further, promising 500 Million doses to poorer countries over the next 12 months, with g7 countries expected to pledge One Billion doses in total. But will it be enough . Not everyone is convinced. This g7 is meeting while the pandemic rages and what has been promised is some dose sharing. But its not coming at the urgency that we need, its not coming at the volume that we need, and its not coming with the financing that we need. What campaigners want is notjust more money to buy doses, but also for richer countries to share technical Know How so they can produce the vaccines themselves. So, as World Leaders begin to arrive in cornwall for the start of the summit, the challenge they face is how best to cooperate On Covid, on climate change, on fixing the world economy. And, for once, their decisions could matter. James landale, Bbc News, cornwall. Lets go live to Newquay Airport just down the road as we can see the italian plane carrying the italian Prime Minister, which hasjust arrived. We arejust Prime Minister, which hasjust arrived. We are just waiting for him to come down the steps. In the last few minutes we also saw franss President Macron arriving, president of the European Commission arriving an hour or so of the European Commission arriving an Hour Orso ago of the European Commission arriving an hour or so ago as well. They leaders are beginning to arrive here in cornwall for this three day G7 Summit. The g7, just to remind you, the nations of canada, france, germany, italy, japan, uk, united states as well. Italy, have of course been very badly hit, one of the first countries to be badly hit by the pandemic, and the Prime Minister came to talk about a recovery plan, which would involve his country, but also the countries of the world. That is very much on the agenda here. How to get a global economic recovery after this pandemic. In the shorter term, how to vaccinate the world. We have heard those promises from Joe Biden to donate 500 Million doses. Boris johnson has promised 100 Million doses to the bigger nations of the world. Have not heard a concrete promise from Mario Draghi and italy but the other nations are Coming Up with their specific promises as well. The Uk Vaccines minister Nadhim Zahawi said its right the Prime Minister has made this global vaccine pledge. It will obviously run into the billions in the sense that weve got to vaccinate the whole world, and at the moment those low and middle income countries, africa, for example, has only vaccinated about 2 of its Adult Population so we need to make a really big effort. I think its right that the Prime Minister has announced this, we have on order over 500 Million doses so we are donating 100 Million doses, we are beginning with Five Million in the next few weeks. That will be delivered by The End of september. 25 Million by The End of this year and then the balance, 70 million, next year. President biden has come forward with 500 Million doses that the us will donate to low and middle income countries and of course, we hope that the g7 will reach A Billion doses. We can now speak to Doctor David Nabarro who is the Special Envoy On Covid 19 at the World Health Organization. Thank you for being with us. I think the World Health Organization has said the world needs 11 Billion Vaccine Doses to cover about 70 of the global population. So some campaigners are saying these promises from Boris Johnson campaigners are saying these promises from Borisjohnson And Jobe biden are reallyjUst A Drop in the ocean. Biden are really Ust A Drop in the ocean. , ~. , ocean. Yes, it feels like World Leaders are ocean. Yes, it feels like World Leaders are out ocean. Yes, it feels like World Leaders are out chewing ocean. Yes, it feels like world i leaders are out chewing towards where they need to be edging towards where they need to beat to deal with the pandemic as a global issue. If i had one request of the leaders and those who have prepared their speaking points, leaders and those who have prepared theirspeaking points, i leaders and those who have prepared their speaking points, iwould leaders and those who have prepared their speaking points, i would say please stop presenting the present moment is one where rich countries are offering vaccines as charity. It is not charity. It is Self Interest that needs to be coming to the fore. The rich world, indeed the whole world, can only recover if the pandemic is dealt with everywhere. It is not a case of saying we will make britain safe, and then when weve done so we will hand over our vaccines to others. Wed like you, G7 Leaders, please, to actually take responsibility now, beyond positioning, to found a global Covid Response Programme with adequate finance, adequate tools like vaccines, diagnostics and treatment, and adequate political support for this to be dealt with as a worldwide challenge. And it is only the leaders of individual nations that have the power to really take it on board as global issue. They are starting but there is much further To Go. Starting but there is much further to. O, starting but there is much further to o, starting but there is much further toao. ,. ,. Starting but there is much further to o,. ,. To go. Some people might watch you now and say. To go. Some people might watch you now and say. Ok. To go. Some people might watch you now and say, ok, that To Go. Some people might watch you now and say, ok, that all To Go. Some people might watch you now and say, ok, that all sounds now and say, ok, that all sounds very fine and noble, but actually what is important is to vaccinate everybody in this country, here in the uk, before we start the world because we have this surging Delta Variant, for example, we need to get on and vaccinate everybody first. Yes, so i can understand that, but let me just be clear, there is a real shortage of vaccine in our world. And the best way to use this vaccines that is in such short supply is to protect those who are most likely to get sick and die because of the virus. That is older people and people with other diseases like diabetes. Everywhere in the world, people in that category are a very high risk, so surely we should use those scarce vaccines that are available in our world to prevent those who are most at risk from dying from actually doing so. Lets save lives. That is the best thing to do with the vaccine. And then when weve got lots more vaccine available, then we can start using the vaccine for the other task, which is to end the pandemic. But the first thing to do now is to stop people from dying all over the world, and the vaccine can do that. ,. ,. ,. , do that. One more question about andemic do that. One more question about Pandemic Preparedness, do that. One more question about Pandemic Preparedness, anotherl do that. One more question about Pandemic Preparedness, another thing they will be talking about here in cornwall at the g7. How important is it to get some sort of early Warning System for the world, so that the next time there is something like coronavirus we have a bit more notice, a bit more warning of it . Yes, so i have to tell you, ive been working on Pandemic Preparedness since 2005, and ive seen how actually world nations can work together and get ready. Weve done lots of simulations over the years which have shown that we can do it, but do you know, what stopped us from being efficient last year was simply national leaders decided that it was better to be fighting each other rather than Working Together. Ft world had worked together. Ft world had worked together better at the of this pandemic, we would have much, much less Suffering And Death in the record books. We would have much fewer people actually having long covid that is happening at the moment. And so i request everybody is, can we please have systems to work together in dealing with this kind of direct . And the proposalfor a new pandemic treaty, which is coming forward now and getting a lot of attention, is a really great idea. I would like to see that moved forward as quickly as possible. Great to talk to you, Special Envoy to the World Health Organization On Covid. We can speak now to anna marriott, 0xfams Health Policy manager. The vaccines that have been promised by britain, 100 Million by the united states, 500 Million, it is a start, isnt it . It united states, 500 Million, it is a start. Isnt it . Start, isnt it . It is a start, but ust start, isnt it . It is a start, but justthat start, isnt it . It is a start, but just that we start, isnt it . It is a start, but just that. We are start, isnt it . It is a start, but just that. We are not start, isnt it . It is a start, but just that. We are not going start, isnt it . It is a start, but just that. We are not going to | just that. We are not going to donate our way out of this crisis, so yes, we need donations be made of excess doses now, but at the same time we need urgent action to share the rights and recipes of these vaccines, so that more manufacturers Around The World can ramp up reduction and make sure everybody has access as soon as possible. Mmp has access as soon as possible. Ramp up production. Borisjohnson said he wants everyone to be vaccinated by The End of next year. A trickle of charities not going to get us there. We need to lift the patterns on these vaccines, as President Macron and President Biden of no call for. We need an agreement from all G7 Leaders and Boris Johnson to stop blocking the proposal have now called for. Horse proposal have now called for. How man , proposal have now called for. How many. Give proposal have now called for. How many. Give us proposal have now called for. How many. Give us an proposal have now called for. How many, give us an idea, we have heard one figure from the World Health Organization that 11 Billion Doses 0rganization that 11 Billion doses are needed globally to cover about 70 of the population. Have you got to figure in mind for how many Vaccine Doses you think the Richard Nations should be giving right now . We think they should be giving excess doses that they have right now, but the real solution, donations are not going to fix this crisis. Developing countries are not asking for charity here, theyre asking for charity here, theyre asking for charity here, theyre asking for the rights and the recipes of these vaccines to be shared so that their manufacturers, their qualified manufacturers, can mmp their qualified manufacturers, can ramp up production so that they have a long term sufficient access to these vaccines. We are facing a catastrophic Vaccine Void at the moment, the G7 Leaders, yes they need to donate excess doses, but really the solution here is to ramp up really the solution here is to ramp up production, make sure it is going on everywhere. It is absurd that we are currently dependent on just a handful of pharmaceutical corporations who simply cannot produce enough for the world. And the G7 Leaders produce enough for the world. And the G7 Leaders and other leaders keep saying no one is safe until everyone is safe, until the whole world is safe. Are you saying that is pretty much empty rhetoric . I think it is. We are seeing so far from the G7 Leaders as a trickle of charity. We actually need to see urgent action, robust action, and a clear plan to ramp up production, make sure that every qualified manufacturer who has capacity to produce these vaccines is doing so. Right now Borisjohnson And Angela merkel particularly are standing on the side of pharmaceutical corporations in blocking the proposal that would lift the patient on these vaccines. We need to see the G7 Leaders agree, sit together and agree urgently. We have no more time to waste. We have seen that Infection Rates are rising once again across africa and we know that the impact of that could be catastrophic. So we need to see them agreeing now for lifting the patents, sharing the rights and recipes for these vaccines so that more can be made as quickly as possible. More can be made as quickly as ossible. �. ,. ,. ,. ,. , possible. Anna from oxfam, thank you ve much possible. Anna from oxfam, thank you very much indeed. Possible.

But that is it for now from the G7 Summit here in cornwall and i will hand you back to the studio In London. Ben, thank you very much. The headlines on Bbc News. Ahead of the G7 Summit of global leaders, prime Minister Borisjohnson pledges to donate 100 Million Vaccine Doses to developing countries over the next year. The Prime Minister has also said that he and President Biden are Working Together to resolve the row about the death of Harry Dunn, killed after a collision involving a car driven by a us citizen. New research by public Health England shows that that the Delta Variant, first identified in india is associated with an approximately 60 increased risk of Household Transmission compared to the alpha variant, identified in the uk. More than half the people to die with the Delta Variant have not been vaccinated at all and nearly two thirds of those infected with it have not been vaccinated. Thats according to public Health England. The Delta Variant was first identified in india and now makes up the majority of cases in the uk. 0ur Head of statistics Robert Cuffe can tell us more. These sound like worrying statistics. Tell us first of all what we can read into those statistics on people dying, having been double vaccinated . Actually, this is probably been double vaccinated . Actually, this is probably the been double vaccinated . Actually, this is probably the good been double vaccinated . Actually, this is probably the good news been double vaccinated . Actually, | this is probably the good News Part of the data we have had today. If you think about it, people who have not been vaccinated, on about a quarter of the population and their accounting for more than half of the delta deaths we know about enormous two thirds of the cases. So the fact they are taking up much, much more than a quarter of the kind of Bad News is suggesting that, you know, the vaccines are having an effect on protecting people, of course. Some of that is the fact that the people who have not been double jabbed our out more, see see that bigger effect on the of cases. But you see it all the way through, your chances of getting infected with the delta and getting infected with the delta and getting really sick or dying with the delta are lower if you are single jabbed and even lower if you are double jabbed. There is some good news in those figures, but as you said, a couple of seconds ago, the evidence around transmission is not so happy. Flan the evidence around transmission is not so happy not so happy. Can you talk as any other statistic not so happy. Can you talk as any other statistic that not so happy.

That figure you give of 60 more likely to transmit, that is at more likely to transmit, that is at the high end of what we were talking about a couple of weeks ago, moving us into the territory of a rethink think it is spreading so much we do need to worry and we could see a significant wave of more hospitalisations if we go ahead with opening up fully with society on monday. We think part of that is because it is just a more Spreading Version of the Virus And Part of it is because there is some degree to which it manages to trigger full or escape the immune system. We are seeing some reinfection is promising that the vaccines arent working quite as well. You do not get the full drive in the first dose. It really takes to doses before you get the full benefit. We are seeing concrete evidence now and how much it is spreading, but also seeing evidence on the fact is more severe, youre more likely To Go into hospital if you are infected with the Delta Variant than you would haveif the Delta Variant than you would have if you had been infected with the version driving the went away. There is an estimate of earn twice as high, theyre not as confident nap of the picture is emerging. It is more severe, but it does week blunt the vaccine out of it, but you still do work. Blunt the vaccine out of it, but you still do work. Thank you very much, robert. The Prime Minister says that he and President Biden are Working Together on the case of Harry Dunn who was killed after his motorbike collided with a car driven by a us citizen. The 19 year old died in northamptonshire almost two years ago. The driver of the Car Anne sacoolas claimed Diplomatic Immunity and returned to the us, but prosecutors want her to face trial in the uk for causing death by dangerous driving. Borisjohnson discussed the case withJoe Biden yesterday. You hes actively engaged in the case. As you know, he has his own personal reasons for feeling very deeply about the issue, and he was extremely sympathetic. But this is not something that either government can control very easily because there are legal processes that are still going on. But he did express a great deal of sympathy, as, indeed, this government continues to do for the family of Harry Dunn. Harry dunns Mother Charlotte charles says she would welcome a meeting with the pm and would also like to discuss the situation with President Biden. She told the bbc that the family were still upset about their last meeting with the former us president Donald Trump. We got invited to the white house. We thought we were just meeting with a senior official, and then when we got there, we quickly realised that it was actually President Trump, as it was at the time. But sadly, we were told that anne sacoolas was in the room next door to us. We shouldnt have been shocked, with Mr Trumps past record, but we were. You know, we were still in shock from having only lost harry seven or eight weeks before, and our brains are still very foggy now. They dont operate like they used to. But only seven weeks into losing harry, they were a complete mess. We were a complete mess. We still are a complete mess. So to have it sprung on us that she was in the next room, we didnt have any therapists, we didnt have any mediators, as did she not have any either, so we really didnt feel it was the right thing to do for her and for us, to have that nasty surprise sprung on us. So we quite rightly said no to that meeting. We would hope that President Biden wouldnt do that. We dont think for a second that it would enter his mind to do that. So as much as we would still really like to meet Prime Ministerjohnson, we very much would welcome a meeting with President Biden, too, to perhaps give us a bit of a better impression of what us president s can be. The Uk Economy grew by its fastest monthly level since july last year. Gdp figures out today thats the total value of all goods and services created show that the economy grew by 2. 3 in april. Much of that growth has come as restrictions on shops and the High Street eased, but also from pubs, restaurants and hospitality. Miatta fanbulleh is Chief Executive of uk Think Tank new economics foundation. Thank you forjoining us. 0bviously that growth comes against a backdrop of the previous month, things were still locked down. How significant do you see this figure is being miss it is consistent with what we saw in march, when the economy started to open up and projections were eased off, there is a lot of pent up demand and people were spending restrictions were eased up the number is consistent with the pattern.

It is a recovery driven by parts of the economy that have been incited by the worst impacts of the pandemic, but others who. Those who have lost jobs, but others who. Those who have lostjobs, low play, sme, are feeling a lot of pain, so the easing of some of the protections that have been put in place, so rolled back in the autumn, lots of people will be really hit.

We have been hit far worse than many of our pets are comparatives in the eu are across the oecd, in part because we have had a really bad pandemic. We did not lockdown quickly or fast, so we have had to lock down for longer periods of time as a consequence. And going into the pandemic, the fundamentals were really weak. We were stamping on 0 growth almost. All of that has come to play, i think, which is why when we start thinking about recovery, there is a big job to stimulate the economy, to get it back on its feet, to get moving again, to provide protections to people who are really going to struggle and to try and address some of the stark inequalities that we have seen over the course of the pandemic.

And the delayed Euro 2020 will get underWay Tonight in rome. 2a teams will contest the tournament, including england, scotland and wales. More the Build Up to that an hour from the sports centre. Good morning. The delayed 2020 Euros get under way later in rome as italy face turkey. Thats in the same group as wales, who Play Switzerland In Baku tomorrow. The welsh reached the Semi Finals in 2016 with Talisman Gareth Bale playing a key part. Hes been speaking this morning ahead of the game and says the squad have the same mentality as five years ago. I think obviously coming on the back of 2016, people will argue maybe we should be doing things better but we have a different team, it is a different tournament. I think cars in ourselves we just believe that we have to take it one game at a time. We have a very difficult group to get out of like we did last time so we will go with the same mentality of taking one game at a time and just trying to get out of the group. That is the main thing for us. We have to work really hard against these three difficult teams and then we take it from there. We mentioned wales terrific run to the last four in france in 2016. Their captain then was ashley williams. He believes its tough for this squad to carry that pressure for success. Its unfair on these lads that have done its unfair on these lads that have done so its unfair on these lads that have done so well to get where theyve. Ot done so well to get where theyve got to done so well to get where theyve got to say, done so well to get where theyve got to say, last time we got to the semifinalf got to say, last time we got to the semifinal.

England get their campaign under way on sunday against croatia. Alan shearer was the top scorer when they last played at home in the European Championships 25 years ago. The former England Captain is feeling upbeat about the sides chances we have got some really talented young players, some really exciting talent and if gareth can get them playing, which we all hope he can do, then you just never know. I have been on The End of it where i said about euro � 96 where we did not get off to the best start but then all of a sudden, we put in a performance against scotland and then the dutch, then you think, we are onto something, here. And i think that is what we are hoping gareth and the boys can do. For scotland, its a first major tournament this century. They have to wait until monday to play their first match but the squad have been training this morning at their base in darlington. Former Scotland Player james mcfadden thinks this group of players has what it takes to get to the knockout stages.

Thank you very much indeed. The World Leaders arriving here this morning. Angela merkel is the latest to arrive at Newquay Airport. President macron has arrived in the last couple of hours and Ursula Von Der Leyen from the European Union. There is the plane of Angela Merkel, the german plane just coming there is the plane of Angela Merkel, the german planejust coming into Newquay Airport there. It is an extraordinary meeting at an extraordinary meeting at an extraordinary time in World History in the midst of the pandemic. So much for these G7 Leaders to decide here at the summit in cornwall. Not only vaccinating the world and that is one of the ambitions of the g7 to start doing that, with borisjohnson promising 100 Million Vaccine Doses but also Post Pandemic economic recovery, climate change and so on. Security is intense around the summit as you would expect. 5000 Police Arejoining1500 Summit as you would expect. 5000 police are joining 1500 Devon And Cornwall police. There is a royal Navy Warship just off the coast and lots of patrol vessels as well. 0ur correspondent, Nomia Iqbal has taken to two wheels, to find out how the area is preparing for its debut, on the worlds political stage. What a picture perfect view. But this isnt a holiday. Spot the security. Theres lots of them, including armed officers, theres warships on the bay, and that is because of what is happening in a hotel over there, where World Leaders are meeting for the G7 Summit. So, what is it like being here . Lets go for a cycle. As you can see, the security begins as soon as you leave your front door, and its notjust officers from Devon And Cornwall here, but Police Officers have been brought in from all around the country to police the G7 Summit. Hi, are you all right . We have our passes. May i ask where you are going today . We are having a little cycle around the village. Im from the bbc. That is my pass. That proves. 0k, perfect. I need to be here. There are so many Police Officers here. We have just seen a double Decker Bus go past full of Police Officers. It really emphasises how they have beefed up security here in cornwall, ahead of the summit. But there is huge traffic here, and you can see why a lot of local residents arent happy about the summit. Its a real disruption to them, especially as Tourist Season is starting and people are slowly coming out of lockdown, as well. To have the summit here, forsome, is a hindrance, but there are also those people who recognise that it is a massive opportunity for cornwall to be shown off on the global stage. Look at that pub. We are now cycling away from the main road. More Police Officers. I have had to come off my bike and walk it down the path, because the main road here has been blocked off for some distance now. There it goes all that security in one us motorcade. And people here can expect way more than that over the next few days. As you rejoin us live here in cornwall there is Angela Merkel he has just come down the steps of her plane and we will be joining has just come down the steps of her plane and we Will Bejoining she Will Bejoining the plane and we Will Bejoining she will be joining the G7 Summit Today And Tomorrow and the next day. One of the key members, really, of the g7, one of the longest standing leaders as well. Certainly a little speculation that she will be talking perhaps to borisjohnson on the sidelines of the summit about northern ireland can particular tension over that and the northern Ireland Protocol and that concerns expressed by the americans and the biden administration about how that is being handled by thejohnson administration. So Eu Leaders like Angela Merkel may well be speaking about with borisjohnson about that. Lets talk a little bit more about the american side of things here and the so called special relationship. We saw here and the so called special relationship. We sanoe Biden And Borisjohnson meeting yesterday. Mr johnson said it was a breath of fresh air having the biden administration now in the white house. Im joined by lewis lukens former Deputy Head of mission at the us embassy In London, currently senior partner with signum global advisors and also sir christopher meyer, who was the british ambassador to the us for six years. Christopher, first you, very warm words but borisjohnson doesnt like this term special relationship. Apparently he says it is weak and needy. Apparently he says it is weak and need. ~. , , apparently he says it is weak and need. ~ ,. , needy. Well, i completely agree with him. I needy. Well, i completely agree with him i think needy.

I think he was right to say what he said because the notion of a special relationship in its old version had become a kind of fossilised relic from a time in 19a6 when Winston Churchill first used it. What we now have as a new basis for british american relations is this newfangled atlantic charter, it itself a rewriting of the old atlantic charter. If you now speak about the special relationship it is not the same thing as you might have meant last week. What were looking at is reformulating and rebooting, renovated Relationship Fit for the 21st century. I think boris is perfectly happy with that. He has christened it himself the indestructible relationship. While that epithet survive . I dont know but it is pretty good and pretty accurate.

Whether this G7 Summit starting today. Whether you call it a special relationship or indestructible relationship or indestructible relationship or indestructible relationship or renovated relationship, the fact of the matter is that relationship, the fact of the matter is that the relationship, the fact of the matter is that the united states and united kingdom is that the united states and united kingdom have a unique relationship where kingdom have a unique relationship where Working Together they can do a lot of good where Working Together they can do a lot of good to ensure global prosperity and security.

To what extent is northern ireland a fly in the ointment here for this renovated relationship or whatever you want to call it between the united states in the uk . We had in the run up about the uk . We had in the run up about the american concerns about the northern Ireland Protocol and everything around it. Borisjohnson was saying it wasnt really raised in an issue in their Talks Yesterday but one suspects it is in the background of this G7 Summit . It neednt be a fly in the ointment, at least not in the ointment of the relationship between britain and the united states. Our strategic goals in northern ireland since the time of Bill Clinton when the americans have been deeply involved in the politics of northern ireland, it shouldnt be a fly on the right meds because we have the same strategic objectives. Namely, not to undermine or destabilise the good Friday Agreement. The conundrum that we are all facing, americans, british and European Union is what do you do when the northern Ireland Protocol in and of itself, even though it is signed just a few months ago, becomes itself the instrument that destabilises the good Friday Agreement and that is where the problem lies and i think a good deal of discussion in the margins of the g7, whether it will be a substantive issue on the table i dont know, i would be surprised, then we have to see what it is all the participants in the G7 Meeting actually agreed to in the G7 Meeting actually agreed to in the G7 Meeting actually agreed to in Thejoint Communique in the G7 Meeting actually agreed to in the joint communique if anything. As for the uk and the us, it should not be a problem. I think, lewis will know more about this and i do, the real focus of american concern is the good Friday Agreement of 1998, it is not the northern Ireland Protocol in and of itself, except that it protocol in and of itself, except Thatitis Protocol in and of itself, except that it is now destabilising community relations in the north and that could also undermine the good Friday Agreement. Friday agreement. Lewis, it is the first return Friday Agreement. Lewis, it is the first return to Friday Agreement. Lewis, it is the first return to facetoface first return to Face To Face Diplomacy amongst global leaders. How important is that .

Police in hillingdon are investigating a fatal stabbing when they were called just after 8 30am this morning. They say that colleagues from the Air Ambulance Service were also called but despite the efforts a teenager died at the scene. Formal identification has not taken place in the area is cordoned off. Police have detained a suspect and are giving no further details at this time. They are asking for witnesses, if anybody witnesses they say please call police on 101 or tweet them. Thats news just through and we will keep you updated if we hear any more. A 15 year old boy has died after receiving multiple stab wounds in hayes. Now, the uk wants to highlight its green credentials at the g7 in the run up to the much bigger cop26 climate summit in glasgow later this year. One area in which it does lead the world is offshore Wind Power, so what do the numbers look like . Heres our Reality Check Correspondent Chris Morris. Renewable energy sources generated more electricity for the uk in 2020 than fossil fuels did the first year thats happened. And much of the increase in renewable power came from offshore Wind Farms. In fact, with thousands of miles of coastline, and loads of windy seas, the uk already produces about a0 of europes offshore Wind Power. A lot of it is out here off the east coast oF England. Hornsea one is currently the largest offshore Wind Farm in the world. And hornsea two due for completion next year will be even bigger. These areas cover hundreds of square miles. Further north, about 80 miles off the yorkshire coast, an even larger Wind Farm is under construction in the shallow waters of dogger bank. All the electricity generated offshore gets sent back to the uk through a series of underwater cables. And these Turbines Way out at sea are considerably bigger than anything you might see in a field down the road. Some of the largest ones are about 260 metres high, nearly as tall as the shard In London. And they have rotor blades longer than a football pitch. So how much offshore Wind Power is the uk currently producing . Just over 10 gigawatts of electricity a year roughly ten times more than a decade ago. Other countries produce a lot more onshore wind, but offshore the uk leads the world. And the government wants to quadruple production to a0 gigawatts by 2030. That should be more than enough to power every home in the country quite an achievement. But houses only account for about a third of total Electricity Demand theres also offices and factories to consider and electricity isnt the only source of power in our homes. So, offshore wind alone cant get the uk to its target of net zero carbon emissions by mid century. But its a big Step Forward, and the government says it is getting cheaper. Last year it estimated that an offshore Wind Farm opening in 2025 would be able to generate one Megawatt Hour of electricity for £57, far cheaper than a few years ago, and less expensive than gas or nuclear. But one problem with wind its not constant or predictable. That s why floating wind turbines, which dont need to be attached to the sea bed, are being deployed, with scotland taking the lead. As technology improves, they can operate much further out in the deep ocean where the wind is much stronger. The aim is that floating turbines will deliver1 gigawatt of Uk Electricity by 2030. But theres another challenge where are turbines and other components actually manufactured . Promises of a boom injobs associated with offshore wind have been made before and have not really been fulfilled. When you look at supply chains for Wind Power, the uk lags well behind denmark and germany, orfurther afield china and the uae. Last year, the government did announce a £160 million package to improve ports and infrastructure for offshore wind, promising investment in places like teesside and humberside. But critics argue its not enough to meet the ambitious goals the government has set. So, plenty of challenges ahead, and offshore wind clearly wont be the right solution everywhere in the world. But it is becoming a major player in Uk Energy for the foreseeable future. Regular and strenuous exercise increases the risk of Motor Neurone Disease in people who are genetically vulnerable according to a study. Researchers at the University Of Sheffield say the number of high profile athletes who have developed the disease is not a coincidence. The scientists say nobody should stop exercising as a result of the study, but they hope the findings could lead to ways of screening people who may be at higher risk.

Starbucks says its experiencing shortages of ingredients in the us as demand soars and supply chains are stretched by the reopening of the economy. One report suggests there are problems sourcing 25 ingredients. For weeks customers have been complaining that outlets had run out of theirfavourite items including drink syrups and baked goods. Now its time for a look at the weather with Matt Taylor. Hello, little bit more sunshine for some of you who have had grey sky so far today and even in places like cornwall, where we have seen scenes like this in the past few days, beamed out across the world, there will be some Blue Skies around this weekend. In fact, much more sunshine developing across the country this weekend, still quite humid, if you are not enjoying that, and for some, as The Sun comes out, it will feel particularly hot. Today, however, feels a bit fresher. Weather fronts pushing in from the North And West. The northern half of the country will have a slightly fresher feel. Those Weather Fronts still producing a few showers across the North And West of scotland, northern ireland, into the afternoon. Some Drizzly Light Rain Into Wales and South West england and then a zone of thicker cloud through the midlands towards the wash as we go through the afternoon. To the South And East of that, still some sunshine, to the north, a better chance of some Afternoon Sunshine compared with this morning and more of a breeze, which is helping to bring in slightly fresher conditions. Still pleasant enough in The Sunshine but to the South East, still very humid with temperatures like yesterday, 2a or 25 degrees. That means of course it will be humid for those heading to the cricket. Maybe not quite so much by The End of the afternoon. Lots of cloud and the outside chance of a bit of drizzle during the middle part of the day but we will see a lot of play if not a complete days play today. This evening and overnight, showers Over Northern Ireland and 0rkney And Shetland, partly clear skies across the rest of the country, still a fair bit of cloud but compared to last night and the night before, temperatures down a bit. While it still will be mild, it wont be quite as muggy as we start the weekend. For the weekend, the humid air will be back because high pressure is building, pushing up from the azores and we start to bring in some pretty warm air around it once again but we will also see increasing amounts of sunshine. On saturday, any Morning Cloud will break up for many, and we will see some good sunny spells into the afternoon. A few showers for 0rkney And Shetland and some high cloud drifting in and turning the Skies Milky across northern ireland and western scotland. It stops the Temperature Rise here but elsewhere, after a slightly fresher start, a very pleasant day with temperatures for many in the high teens if not low to mid 20s. Into sunday, early Morning Mist and fog clears and lots of sunshine for the vast majority. Some Cloud And Rain for the hebrides and Lewis And Harris later but for most, it is going to be a sunny day and a hot one. 26 in the east of scotland and we get close to 30 across parts of the midlands and South East england. See you soon. This is Bbc News. The headlines. Global leaders arrive in cornwall for the G7 Summit due to start later today. Ahead of the summit, prime Minister Borisjohnson pledges to donate 100 Million Vaccine Doses to developing countries over the next year. The fight against covid would not be possible without the uks effort on vaccines. But the Special Envoy On Covid 19 at the World Health Organization said that G7 Leaders were only inching towards the place where they need to be to tackle the pandemic. The rich world, indeed the whole world, can only recover f the pandemic is dealt with everywhere if the pandemic is that with everywhere. Dealt with everywhere. The Prime Minister has also said that he and President Biden are Working Together to resolve the row about the death of Harry Dunn, killed after a collision involving a car driven by a us citizen. New research by public Health England shows that that the Delta Variant, first identified in india is associated with an approximately 60 increased risk of Household Transmission compared to the alpha variant, identified in the uk. And the delayed Euro 2020 will get under Way Tonight in rome. 2a teams will contest the tournament, including england, scotland and wales. Today is the first day of the G7 Summit lets go to Ben Brown. Thank you. The sun is starting to shine and certainly brightening up a little in cornwall where the g7 metres are meeting. They have been arriving at the Newquay Airport, in the last few hours we have seen macron of france, germanys Angela Merkel comes they will all be here in a few hours for the kick off of this G7 Summit, perhaps one of the most important summits in g7 history. Certainly a chance to have some Face To Face Diplomacy. The first chance since the pandemic began, really. Some crucial issues, vaccinating the world, of course, President Bidens promised to give 500 Million doses to put countries, borisjohnsons to give you 100 Million, but also global economic recovery Post Pandemic and climate change. Summits can sometimes be Talking Shops, where the pictures of World Leaders rubbing shoulders or at least elbows are not matched by Policy Decisions that change lives. Well, this g7 could be different, for the wealthy nations which make up this group have a chance to take real action to tackle the Covid Pandemic. In africa, only about 2 of people have been vaccinated, compared to rates of more than 50 in some western countries. So thats why britain is promising to donate 100 Million surplus doses of vaccine over the next year, distributed largely through the global covax mechanism. The uk is really stepping up to the plate, but so is everybody here at the g7. The americans are making a big contribution, and we hope to be telling you more in the next couple of days about the the overall g7 contribution, because theres no point in us just vaccinating the uk we need to vaccinate the world. President biden has gone much further, promising 500 Million doses to poorer countries over the next 12 months, with g7 countries expected to pledge One Billion doses in total. But will it be enough . Not everyone is convinced. This g7 is meeting while the pandemic rages and what has been promised is some dose sharing. But its not coming at the urgency that we need, its not coming at the volume that we need, and its not coming with the financing that we need. What campaigners want is notjust more money to buy doses, but also for richer countries to share technical Know How so they can produce the vaccines themselves. So, as World Leaders begin to arrive in cornwall for the start of the summit, the challenge they face is how best to cooperate On Covid, on climate change, on fixing the world economy. And, for once, their decisions could matter. James landale, Bbc News, cornwall. This is a chance in the Post Race were upper Body Strength to show off british diplomacy. We can speak to the director of british foreign Policy Group Think Tank. How do you see this G7 Summit .

I | most G7 Summits are important. I think this one does feel rather historic. And notjust because of the pandemic, which is obviously still raging and consuming a lot of political attention all Around The World, but of course because this summit seems to mark an inflection point. The liberal alliance has been any pretty shaky place over the past five years, most advanced democracies like ours have been any rather dysfunctional state, consumed by various domestic issues, and of course, you had Donald Trump as american president , sort of injecting a huge degree of instability into the western alliance, and i think nations have really struggled to kind of rise to the challenge and cooperate, because while all of this has been going on and we have been very consumed at home, of course you have had rising a rise china, the situation with climate change has become urgent. In the pandemic is the latest in a long list of things to be solved at the summit. ,. ,. ,. , list of things to be solved at the summit. ,. ,. ,. , summit. You mention to china, the g7 s les summit.

You mention to china, the g7 styles itself as the biggest and styles itself as the biggest and most advanced economies, but of Course China is an advanced economy and not part of g7. Is it some sort of liberal countries, liberal democracies seeing them self as a Bull Hook against China And Russia and authoritarian regimes . The G7 Use to be the and authoritarian regimes .

I think in many ways the decision to focus simply on advanced liberal democracies is actually helpful in this time is, because what we are seeing is the rising influence of authoritarian nations. It is notjust china. Many other nations that do not share our interests and values are becoming increasingly powerful and influential on the World Stage and there is a transport liberal nations to look past many of our differences, which are not that fundamental, and focus on this existential threat to democracy, because it is absolutely interest to ensure that not only our democracies are functioning well at home, but the whole World Order is built around liberal values of openness and connectivity.

Boris Johnson Singh yesterDay Summit. Boris Johnson Singh yesterday was summit. Boris Johnson Singh yesterday was a summit. Boris Johnson Singh yesterday was a breath i summit. Boris Johnson Singh yesterday was a breath of i summit. Boris Johnson Singh i yesterday was a breath of fresh air to have the biden administration. To what extent is the absence, if you like, of Donald Trump helpful to the g7 . He was not a big fan of multilateral diplomacy, it was all america first. America first. Yes, he had a very unusual, shall america first. Yes, he had a very unusual, shall we america first. Yes, he had a very unusual, shall we say, america first. Yes, he had a very unusual, shall we say, approach| america first. Yes, he had a very l unusual, shall we say, approach to diplomacy. He was interested in interpersonal relationships with World Leaders, including autocrats. He definitely was not a fan of multilateral diplomacy, which he did not think was delivering in americas interest. The g7 under Donald Trump was a very dysfunctional affair. The last summit actually ended with him walking out, and i think that was a real low point for the forum. There is absently no doubt the election of Joe Biden, who, he is notjust been around in american politics for a long time, he is a stalwart of the american foreign policy seen. He is well known to many other leaders, he has those relationships, and i think nations such as britain, it was a huge sigh of relief when biden was elected, because this is the person we can cooperate with, we fundamentally shake a lot of the same objectives and values, and you will see that today as well. We just had over the past couple of days the announcement of this new sort of atlantic charter that is supposed to strengthen and renew the relationship between britain and the united states. I think that is a real sign of endorsement from both sides, saying that we still see each other as valued partners after a pretty bumpy period. Other as valued partners after a pretty bumpy period. Really good to talk to you. Pretty bumpy period. Really good to talk to you, thank pretty bumpy period. Really good to talk to you, thank you pretty bumpy period.

Lets also talk to our political correspondent Rob Watson here in cornwall at falmouth. Today, how do you see todays events. We have seen World Leaders arriving in the last few hours, what can we expect zhuhai can i ust sa hours, what can we expect zhuhai can i just say first hours, what can we expect zhuhai can ijust say first of hours, what can we expect zhuhai can i just say first of all, hours, what can we expect zhuhai can ijust say first of all, ben, the i just say first of all, ben, the absolute sofia was spot on. I would add one thing, she was talking about the g7 being, in broad terms, about reversing the decline of the west. There is one added complication that the readers who recognise, and that is that they need to work, the Westminster Work with china and such important issues as reversing climate change, so an endorsement and edition. To get your question, in many ways i think this is the easier part of the summit, the low Hanging Fruit where you will see the leaders coming together and sing absolutely, yes we must reach out and vaccinate as many people Around The World as possible. And there are also going to get around this afternoon to this building back better agenda that borisjohnson, the Uk Payments are spoken about and we are about to find out over the next few days whether it is a slogan or a bit more to it than that. We see these or a bit more to it than that. We see these g7 or a bit more to it than that. We see these G7 Summits, they often talk a lot about economic issues, trade, but this feels different, doesnt it . Is how to get out of the pandemic, how to vaccinate the world, how to rescue the global economy to rebuild the global economy to rebuild the global economy plus pandemic. It is climate change, to so many huge monumental global issues to talk about in three days. I global issues to talk about in three Da S. ~. , global issues to talk about in three das. ~. , days. I think that is absently ri. Ht. Days. I think that is absently riuht. I days. I think that is absently right. Ithink days. I think that is absently right. I think the days.

I think the leaders are aware of that and i go back to that seen when i started on sort of peeking up from sofia, you have to understand that two or three years ago Donald Trump pretty much walked out of a G7 Summit saying this forum is not important any more, it is a0 of the world plus might well consider something like 80 when the grouping was formed in the 1970s. He thought it wasnt relevant. So this is, in large part, but the leaders recognising that the west, this is their chance to reverse the sort of Perception And Narrative of decline. That china has put about and russia has put about. Again, as i say, with the added complication. Yes they want to stand up for liberal values, free trade, but they do need to cooperate with china, weather and climate change are covid or indeed on trade. ~. ,. , on trade. What about the summer .

Doing these things and Zoom And Video Link Isnt enough . You have made the argument that they leaders have made. That is exactly what they say, that there is a way in which, yes, officials can do and indeed do do most of the heavy lifting work. Nobody should be naive enough to think that the real meat is done here. It has all been done ages and days and months in advance, as you well know, ben, but the argument politicians make is that you need sort of big visual events like this to try and sort of galvanise the whole process. The punters out there will be saying, 0k, punters out there will be saying, ok, lets see what happens. The way i into to see the summit is its not like a fabulous meal where you know and see whether you have enjoyed or not, it is more the case of gardening project. If these leaders planned the season we see the garden grow nicely, we will say, yeah, that went well again, the problem for reporting on the summits and the problem for ordinary punters and voters is that you can only really judge them by what happens next. Although there will be some fabulous meals for the leaders at the summit, i should stress. Rob watson, thank you very much indeed. We will have much more from the summit here in cornwall throughout the day and indeed throughout the next three days. For now, back to the studio. Thank you, ben. More than half the people to die with the Delta Variant have not been vaccinated at all and nearly two thirds of those infected with it have not been vaccinated. Hang on, that makes no sense. Let me bring you up to date with the figures. 23 in terms of the statistics, a2 deaths confirmed with the variant. 23 unvaccinated, seven had the first dose more than 21 days before, and 12 had had their second within 1a days before. A small number of deaths, but of those a large proportion had come as we are seeing, hadnt been double vaccinated. I asked our head of statistics, Robert Cuffe, what he made of these latest figures, which also show that a quarter of those who had died with the Delta Variant had been double jabbed. Actually, this is probably the good News Part of the data we have had today. If you think about it, people who have not been vaccinated, are about a quarter of the population and their accounting for more than half of the delta deaths we know about, enormous two thirds of the cases. So the fact they are taking up much, much more than a quarter of the kind of Bad News is suggesting that, you know, the vaccines are having an effect on protecting people, of course. Some of that is the fact that the people who have not been double jabbed our out more, see see that bigger effect on the number of cases. But you see it all the way through, your chances of getting infected with the delta and getting really sick or dying with the delta are lower if you are single jabbed and even lower if you are double jabbed. There is some good news in those figures, but as you said, a couple of seconds ago, the evidence around transmission is not so happy. Can you talk us around other statistic that have come out this morning from public Health England . That figure you give of 60 more likely to transmit, that is at the high end of what we were talking about a couple of weeks ago, moving us into the territory of where we think it is spreading so much we do need to worry and we could see a significant wave of more hospitalisations if we go ahead with opening up fully with society on monday. We think part of that is because it is just a more spready version of the Virus And Part of it is because there is some degree to which it manages to trick or fool or escape the immune system. We are seeing some reinfections, that the vaccines arent working quite as well. You do not get the full drive in the first dose. It really takes to doses before you get the full benefit. We are seeing concrete evidence now and how much it is spreading, but also seeing evidence on the fact is more severe, youre more youre more likely To Go into hospital if you are infected with the Delta Variant than you would have if you had been infected with the version driving the first wave. There is an estimate of earn twice as high, theyre not as confident nap of the picture is emerging. It is more severe, but it does weak blunt the vaccine a bit, but still do work.

Welcome. Thank you forjoining us. Welcome. Thank you forjoining us. We are overwhelmed statistics on this this morning put the can you pick your way through it for us and see how you take the stats, in terms of the efficacy of the vaccines and how concerned we should be now . Well, it is clearly turning out that we are going to have a wave of infection as we relax the restrictions. Numbers of cases are clearly going up now without any doubt, and actually faster than we had hoped. The real key question is how many hospitalisations we see, and we are beginning to see more of those as well. I think the analysis you just heard was extremely accurate, in other words, we have got a worse virus, more transmissible, but the vaccine still do work, not quite as well as against the other variant, but nevertheless they are very effective. That emphasises the importance of people coming through, getting their Vaccine Doses as soon as they are invited, because the more population immunity we have got, the sooner we get it, then the smaller this wave will be. Iloathed smaller this wave will be. What should we smaller this wave will be. What should we pay smaller this wave will be. What should we pay particular i smaller this wave will be. What should we pay particular attention to . Youre obviously saying theyre about how effective the vaccines are in the government says the data shows vaccines are severing the link between hospitalisations and deaths . The bits and figures on it, cases went up 60 anyway, hospitalisations up went up 60 anyway, hospitalisations up 7 and fatalities less than 2 . So when we are looking to where we go from here, in terms of lockdown, what do those statistics indicate . Well, guess what we are seeing is trends which are firming up steadily week on week. This is the time point where the politician set himself a deadline more or less to decide about the next stage of opening up. I think we are hearing from them, as well as from the epidemiologists, that everything points to a more cautious approach at this point in time. The Vaccine Programme is moving forward extremely rapidly, but it does need more time, particularly to immunise a large number of younger adults who are onlyjust been called forward for their first doses, as well as getting those older people throughout with the second doses as well. I think, throughout with the second doses as well. Ithink, although throughout with the second doses as well. I think, although it is not for me to decide, we are going to see some delays and restrictions, more likely than not. But see some delays and restrictions, more likely than not. See some delays and restrictions, more likely than not. But when the most vulnerable more likely than not. But when the most vulnerable have more likely than not. But when the most vulnerable have been more likely than not. But when the i most vulnerable have been vaccinated and the Death Rate is still very low, why would there be a need for such caution, in terms of easing the restrictions . Restrictions . Sure. Its about extrapolation. Restrictions . Sure. Its about extrapolation. So restrictions . Sure. Its about extrapolation. So the restrictions . Sure. Its about i extrapolation. So the relatively low numbers of hospitalisations and deaths, as compared to the number of cases, is partly going to be because the Vaccine Programme has worked in many people are protected, but it is also partly due to the fact that there is a delay. So people get infected and it takes some time before they get signal to end up in hospital and after that sick enough to die of the infection, when that sadly happens. So the reason that the trains are not quite match, if you like, is a compound of that delay, as well as the impact of the Vaccine Programme, improving the situation for us. So we do need to strap like mathematically to what we would predict will happen, rather than just look at the figures today. And when you talk about this variant being worse, what is the indication about how younger people are being affected and how much younger . Because obviously the older have mostly been vaccinated. Yes. Because obviously the older have mostly been vaccinated. Because obviously the older have mostly been vaccinated. Yes, so they larae mostly been vaccinated. Yes, so they large portion mostly been vaccinated. Yes, so they large portion of mostly been vaccinated. Yes, so they large portion of compute mostly been vaccinated. Yes, so they large portion of compute the large portion of compute the unprotected people in our population now is younger people, because we have very carefully reserved Vaccine Doses for older people first. The youngest people who are least likely to get seriously ill have been left to get seriously ill have been left to last. Therefore never mixing together much more than previously. Most of them are not immunise. Most of them have not had the infection. So there is plenty of scope for the virus to spread within that age group.

It is not the case that no young people get sick with covid. And there are also concerns about sort of long term consequences, even after mild infections. So it is not as though they really dont need to care on their own account, but youre also right, that the Core Transmission of the virus within the population is something that will spread beyond those groups and a particularly transmissible virus will find a are more vulnerable people who have either not been immunised or has not been protected effectively by vaccine, which will happen in some cases.

We have a very difficult group to get out of, like we did last time, so we will be going with the same mentality of taking it one game at a time and just trying to get out the group, i think. That is the main thing for us. We had to work really hard against these difficult teams. And we will take it from there we have two. England get their campaign underway on sunday against croatia.

Now its time for a look at the weather with Matt Taylor a little breezy out there today which will bring in something a little less humid across the northern half of the country. This afternoon we will see The Clouds broke up a bit more, chairs around, sunny spells, thickets of The Cloud in the stone pushing through wales, South West england and the midlands. Drizzle possible particularly towards the west. Sunshine to the east, still humid, 24 25. Pleasant further north but not as humid as it has been. Into the evening and overnight, partly clear skies for some of you, still some showers to Orkney And Shetland any breeze blowing here but elsewhere the winds fall lighter and it wont be quite as humid as recently. A slightly fresh Appeal Tomorrow but still warm enough. Any Warning Cloud quickly breaks up, good sunny spells coming through for the vast majority. Sunshine and hazy across the North And West during the day and temperatures not far off todays values but with a slightly fresh feel then we have seen over the recent days. Heat and humidity is back as we going to sunday, with increasing amounts of sunshine too. Lets head to cornwall now where the G7 Summit of World Leaders is getting under way Ben Brown is there for us. Letsjoin ben live now in lets join ben live now in cornwall. Thank you very much indeed. It is starting to brighten up a little it has been pretty misty and drizzly here at Tregenna Castle, the resort in St Ives where this G7 Summit is happening. It kicks off in about 30 minutes� time. The leaders have been driving arriving at Newquay Airports, various G7 Leaders coming in one by one. So much of them to discuss this weekend. It is most one of the most important G7 Summit in diplomatic history. You not only have a question of trying to vaccinate the world and getting out of the Coronavirus Pandemic and how to recover economically from the pandemic but also huge issues of climate change as well.

There is months of preparatory work that is gone into it but the main thing is very clear, to get a programme in place to vaccinate at least the most vulnerable in the world by The End of this year and the whole of the world by The End of 2022 to make sure we put in place better systems of genomic surveillance were picking up new variants as they emerge because this is the single biggest risk that the whole of the world has that we carry on with the virus mutating and Begetter Variant thatis virus mutating and Begetter Variant that is difficult for vaccines to protect against. Then you have issues around economic recovery and climate change. I think the big focus will be making sure as much faxing flows to the developed world is possible this year. Is much vaccines as possible. This gives us the best chance of keeping the disease under control. We the best chance of keeping the disease under control.

It is substantial and other countries will come in because i countries will come in because europe is a substantial manufacture of vaccines. In 2022 you will have large numbers of vaccines being produced. You have all of the main vaccines being used to producing substantial amounts of vaccines. Pfizer and moderna are producing more than they originally anticipated. Astrazeneca is producing a huge amount. Johnson johnson is at full production, novavax. And that is leaving behind the chinese vaccine and sputnik. But you have two challenges. Firstly it is now that we need one of those vaccines to get out of the door which is why that is very important and we need to make sure some of those vaccines are getting out of the most vulnerable in the world early and now. But secondly, one of the things youre working on with some of the government to work with, in some of the poorest parts of the world it is notjust about receiving the vaccine it is about having the capacity to absorb it and roll it out successfully and register vaccinations. Most vaccines are to dose vaccines so if theyre to be completely effective against the Delta Variant, for example, you need both doses of the vaccine. So this is a big logistical effort. The western countries have struggled doing it so imagine for an fragile health systems in the developing part of the world. The really important thing for people here to know and focus on is that even if the uk in the usa and other developed countries vaccinate the whole of the population, we are still at risk if the virus is circulating and mutating in a different part of the world and that is why this is an act that isnt just humanitarian but of self enlightened interest. Just humanitarian but of self enlightened interest. Tony blair, thank ou enlightened interest. Tony blair, thank you so enlightened interest. Tony blair, thank you so much. Enlightened interest.

Just one interesting fact in vaccination, one Campaign Group says that more people have been vaccinated here in cornwall where the summit is happening then in 22 of africa two poorest nations combined so that just highlights the challenges faced. You have much more from the summit here in cornwall throughout the day and the next three days. Thank you, ben. Some breaking news now royal caribbean says two guests on board its Cruise Ship Celebrity millennium have tested positive for coronavirus whilst in the caribbean. This is one of the first cruises to set sail in North America since the pandemic brought sailing to a halt last year and will be a blow to the industry and its hopes of restarting in the lucrative us market. This was the first major Cruise Ship allowing american passages since the pandemic began. According to cnn, there are 500 passengers on board and more than 95 of them are fully vaccinated. It is not clear what the Vaccine Status is of the two passengers who have coronavirus but they are said to be asymptomatic and self isolating on the ship. That Cruise Ship sailing around the caribbean and departed from Saint Martin on saturday for a cruise. Regular and strenuous exercise increases the risk of Motor Neurone Disease in people who are genetically vulnerable according to a study. Researchers at the University Of Sheffield say the number of high profile athletes who have developed the disease is not a coincidence. The scientists say nobody should stop exercising as a result of the study, but they hope the findings could lead to ways of screening people who may be at higher risk. Im joined now by dr nicholas cole, head of research at the mnd association. Thank you forjoining us. Why would there be an increase in risk associated with exercise . Well, it is important associated with exercise . Well, it is important to associated with exercise . Well, it is important to first associated with exercise . Well, it is important to first of associated with exercise . Well, it is important to first of all associated with exercise . Well, it is important to first of all say is important to first of all say that exercise has many benefits so we wouldnt advocate for people stopping exercise at all and we do welcome this research that has some very interesting findings. It has been quite a controversial topic trying to understand what causes Motor Neurone Disease which is a very complicated disease that doesnt discriminate. Six people are diagnosed every day and six people die from it every day in the uk. So physical exercise is one of the possible contributing factors to the disease. There are many factors, lifestyle, genetics, but it is thought that if one does strenuous exercise and making your Body Work very hard, motor neurons may be under considerable stress with rapid exercise. But it is not necessarily an absolute cause. We welcome any findings that move us towards an understanding of the biology and what they can contribute to this really horrendous disease. 50 what they can contribute to this really horrendous disease. So when researchers really horrendous disease. So when researchers say really horrendous disease. So when researchers say that really horrendous disease.

We know that the lifetime risk of developing the disease is around one in 300. There arent really firm statistics on whether a top athlete would have those numbers. This Study Hasnt looked at professional athletes in its research but it is just saying that a particular type of gene which is something in our dna is slightly changed and those people and it is thought that possibly exercise could contribute in those people getting the disease earlier than those who dont exercise. 50 earlier than those who dont exercise earlier than those who dont exercise. ,. , , u, exercise. So when you say they could otentiall exercise. So when you say they could potentially get exercise. So when you say they could potentially get it exercise. So when you say they could potentially get it earlier, exercise. So when you say they could potentially get it earlier, if potentially get it earlier, if youve got that gene would you get it or does not everybody who has that gene get it . In other words, is exercise triggering it does just bring it to you younger . It is bring it to you younger . It is correct to bring it to you younger . It is correct to say bring it to you younger . It is correct to say that bring it to you younger . It is correct to say that not bring it to you younger . Tit 3 correct to say that not everybody who carries a particular Gene Type would get the disease. There are many competing in complicated factors. You can get identical twins with exactly the same Gene Type and one may never develop Motor Neurone Disease or one may get it earlier. So it is a combination of genetics, lifestyle and environment. This study is indicating the potentially exercise may be one of those contributing factors. So it is still early days, it is not absolutely certain that this association is a cause and we need more research and funding. Mnd certainly isnt incurable but at the moment there is no effective treatments so we asked people to help us as much as they can in moving forwards for effective treatments. Noel conway the assisted dying campaigner who had Motor Neurone Disease has passed away. The 71 year old was diagnosed with mnd in 2014. Towards The End of his life he was reliant on a ventilator to help him breath. Mr conway worked with the Charity Dignity in dying, campaigning to get the law on assisted suicide changed. In a statement written before his death he said he had made a conscious and deliberate effort to end his life, having decided to stop using his ventilator. The uk wants to highlight its green credentials at the g7 in the run up to the much bigger cop26 climate summit in glasgow later this year. One area in which it does lead the world is offshore Wind Power, so what do the numbers look like . Heres our Reality Check Correspondent, Chris Morris renewable energy sources generated more electricity for the uk in 2020 than fossil fuels did the first year thats happened. And much of the increase in renewable power came from offshore Wind Farms. In fact, with thousands of miles of coastline, and loads of windy seas, the uk already produces about 40 of europes offshore Wind Power. A lot of it is out here off the east coast oF England. Hornsea one is currently the largest offshore Wind Farm in the world. And hornsea two due for completion next year will be even bigger. These areas cover hundreds of square miles. Further north, about 80 miles off the yorkshire coast, an even larger Wind Farm is under construction in the shallow waters of dogger bank. All the electricity generated offshore gets sent back to the uk through a series of underwater cables. And these Turbines Way out at sea are considerably bigger than anything you might see in a field down the road. Some of the largest ones are about 260 metres high, nearly as tall as the shard In London. And they have rotor blades longer than a football pitch. So how much offshore Wind Power is the uk currently producing . Just over ten gigawatts of electricity a year roughly ten times more than a decade ago. Other countries produce a lot more onshore wind, but offshore the uk leads the world. And the government wants to quadruple production to a0 gigawatts by 2030. That should be more than enough to power every home in the country quite an achievement. But houses only account for about a third of total Electricity Demand theres also offices and factories to consider and electricity isnt the only source of power in our homes. So, offshore wind alone cant get the uk to its target of net zero carbon emissions by mid century. But its a big Step Forward, and the government says it is getting cheaper. Last year it estimated that an offshore Wind Farm opening in 2025 would be able to generate one Megawatt Hour of electricity for £57, far cheaper than a few years ago, and less expensive than gas or nuclear. But one problem with wind its not constant or predictable. Thats why floating wind turbines, which dont need to be attached to the sea bed, are being deployed, with scotland taking the lead. As technology improves, they can operate much further out in the deep ocean where the wind is much stronger. The aim is that floating turbines will deliver1 gigawatt of Uk Electricity by 2030. But theres another challenge where are turbines and other components actually manufactured . Promises of a boom injobs associated with offshore wind have been made before and have not really been fulfilled. When you look at supply chains for Wind Power, the uk lags well behind denmark and germany, orfurther afield china and the uae. Last year, the government did announce a £160 million package to improve ports and infrastructure for offshore wind, promising investment in places like teesside and humberside. But critics argue its not enough to meet the ambitious goals the government has set. So, plenty of challenges ahead, and offshore wind clearly wont be the right solution everywhere in the world. But it is becoming a major player in Uk Energy for the foreseeable future. A british woman who was attacked by a crocodile in a mexican lagoon last weekend, is now out of a medically induced coma after being saved by her twin sister. The 28 year olds were swimming when Melissa Laurie was dragged underwater by the reptile. Her sister, georgia fought off the crocodile by repeatedly punching it in the face. Heres our Mexico Correspondent will grant with the latest. The manialtepec lagoon is a place of unspoiled natural beauty. Its mangroves teeming with mexicos diverse wildlife and birds. For twin sisters from berkshire, georgia and Melissa Laurie, though, it will forever be the stuff of nightmares. As their Tour Group took a swim in these waters, melissa was attacked three times by a crocodile, which punctured her stomach and leg, and broke her wrist. In a moment of incredible bravery, georgia dived to her Sisters Aid and hit the animal repeatedly to force it off. Boatman and Bird Watcher Lalo escamilla happened to be passing with his own tour when he heard the commotion. Translation | waded i through the undergrowth, clearing a path with the oar. I made it over to the mangrove where i found a woman who was down, and another one who was holding her arm and holding her head up. I asked, what happened . They said, crocodile, crocodile. In hospital, melissa developed sepsis and was placed in a medically induced coma from which she has, thankfully, just emerged. In a Voice Message shared with the bbc, georgia gave an update on her twins condition. Just want to let you know that i saw mel earlier and she is doing much better, she is doing really good. They took the tube out of her. Shes been breathing on her own very well. She Cant Talk because of the soreness in her throat from the tube. They said that when they were explaining the procedure to her, before they did it, that she understood and comprehended everything. She recognised me, knew who i was. Seemed happy to see me. And, yeah, shes doing much better. The man who sold the laurie sisters the tour insisted it was safe to swim in the lagoon, even though it is hatching season and female crocs are protecting their young. A german national and an unlicensed operator, he has since fled. Lalo escamilla says rogue guides are a common problem in the area, and worries that the incident could harm his business. Melissa, it seems, is now On The Road to recovery. But that she is even alive to tell the story of what happened here is extraordinary and thanks in no small part to the quick thinking and sheer bravery of her twin sister.

But, during the quiet months of lockdown, the birds returned to nest. Now, with Activity And Footfall increasing around the popular spot, there are fears that they could be scared away. 0ur Scotland Correspondent Lorna Gordon has been to Loch Lomond for us. About half of scotland two population live close to this park. But the authorities really want their egos in this area to stay. The eagles in this area to stay. Out on patrol in the waters of Loch Lomond, the rangers who make sure any visitors here, both human and animal, remain safe, are now looking out for britains largest bird of prey, too. Have you seen these birds . I have, indeed. There is no mistaking them. They are absolutely huge. It was more shock at first. We are used to seeing ospreys and buzzards, gulls, crows, anything like that, loads of different wildlife birds. But seeing a white tailed eagle, its a good feeling. With their 8ft wingspan, Sea Eagles, or white tailed eagles, were once hunted to extinction. But successfully reintroduced, there are now thought to be over 150 Breeding Pairs. As their numbers have grown, the territory they can be spotted in has spread. I dont think my luck� s in today, unfortunately. No sign . No sign today, no. The Loch Lomond pair arrived during the quiet of lockdown. Experts hope, even as it gets busier again, they will choose to stay. Very heavily protected, so we are obviously avoiding disturbance of them, but they are wonderful birds to see back. The fear we have is the birds will be disturbed from people either walking and getting too close to the nest, orfrom being on the water, either kayaking orjet skiing. But the hope is that wont happen and the birds will come back next year and they will breed successfully and we will have a Breeding Pair of Sea Eagles on Loch Lomond. These waters, quiet today, can get noisy. Just to let you know we have set up an Exclusion Zone in this area. We are restricting all traffic. So there is now a restricted area around where the birds have built a nest, and a campaign to make sure people know to stay away. It is nice to see the Sea Eagles, as well. But, as a last resort, anyone who does get too close faces the threat of a Prison Sentence or a £5,000 fine. That is a big sanction. It is, but it is very important to protect our key wildlife species. What does it say about the loch, birds like this coming back . With the return of ospreys to Loch Lomond, with the return of white tailed eagles, we start to see a better balance of the wildlife. But not everyone is happy to see the birds return. In some locations, Sea Eagles have attacked lambs. And while this hasnt happened here, farmers are concerned and warn they will be counting their livestock. They want something that is easy. A newborn lamb, young lamb, is an easy kill. It is very worrying, because it can decimate a sheep flock. It is more than a century since Sea Eagles have been seen nesting this close to glasgow. Their reappearance means a new balance is needed between all those who use these waters. But conservationists hope that, with a little help, they will stay, breed and flourish.

Hello, little bit more sunshine for some of you who have had grey sky so far today and even in places like cornwall, where we have seen scenes like this in the past few days, beamed out across the world, there will be some Blue Skies around this weekend. In fact, much more sunshine developing across the country this weekend, still quite humid, if you are not enjoying that, and for some, as The Sun comes out, it will feel particularly hot. Today, however, feels a bit fresher. Weather fronts pushing in from the North And West. The northern half of the country will have a slightly fresher feel. Those Weather Fronts still producing a few showers across the North And West of scotland, northern ireland, into the afternoon. Some Drizzly Light Rain Into Wales and South West england and then a zone of thicker cloud through the midlands towards the wash as we go through the afternoon. To the South And East of that, still some sunshine, to the north, a better chance of some Afternoon Sunshine compared with this morning and more of a breeze, which is helping to bring in slightly fresher conditions. Still pleasant enough in The Sunshine but to the South East, still very humid with temperatures like yesterday, 2a or 25 degrees. That means of course it will be humid for those heading to the cricket. Maybe not quite so much by The End of the afternoon. Lots of cloud and the outside chance of a bit of drizzle during the middle part of the day but we will see a lot of play if not a complete days play today. This evening and overnight, showers Over Northern Ireland and Orkney And Shetland, partly clear skies across the rest of the country, still a fair bit of cloud but compared to last night and the night before, temperatures down a bit. While it still will be mild, it wont be quite as muggy as we start the weekend. For the weekend, the humid air will be back because high pressure is building, pushing up from the azores and we start to bring in some pretty warm air around it once again but we will also see increasing amounts of sunshine. On saturday, any Morning Cloud will break up for many, and we will see some good sunny spells into the afternoon. A few showers for Orkney And Shetland and some high cloud drifting in and turning the Skies Milky across northern ireland and western scotland. It stops the Temperature Rise here but elsewhere, after a slightly fresher start, a very pleasant day with temperatures for many in the high teens if not low to mid 20s. Into sunday, early Morning Mist and fog clears and lots of sunshine for the vast majority. Some Cloud And Rain for the hebrides and Lewis And Harris later but for most, it is going to be a sunny day and a hot one. 26 in the east of scotland and we get close to 30 across parts of the midlands and South East england. See you soon. The G7 World leaders are here in cornwall for their first Face To Face Summit since the start of the Coronavirus Pandemic. On the agenda, vaccinating the world, global economic recovery, and combating climate change.
