Danish footballer Christian Eriksen is in a stable condition In Hospital after he collapsed on the pitch during his nations European Championship match against finland. The 29 year old suddenly fell to the ground in front of his home supporters in copenhagen. Team mates and medics rushed to his aid. The game was suspended. When it resumed, at the request of both teams, finland won the match i o. Nathalie pirks reports. Christian eriksen is the talisman of the dutch international team. Denmark national team. But around half time, without a player around him, he staggered to the ground and collapsed. Team mates immediately recognise how serious it was, forming a protective ring around him as medics rushed onto the pitch. Fans could only look on in horror as doctors attempted to resuscitate the midfielder. His Team Mates could barely look as they hoped beyond hope hed be ok. Back in the bbc studio, former players were understandably emotional. I think football totally goes out of the window right now, and youre thinking about his family, all the rest of the players that are out there witnessing it, as well. I actuallyjust messaged my mum and told her i loved her, and i think its a reminder of how quickly life can change. The latest update from uefa is that Christian Eriksen has been transferred to hospital and has been stabilised. The news from the Danish Fa that he is awake is the news all Football Fans wanted to hear. Natalie perks, bbc news. Klaus egelund is a danish footballjournalist. He gave us this update from aarhus. We know that christian is speaking, hes been in touch with his Team Mates during the break in the match, and he asked them to resume the match thats what we are hearing at the moment. But i mean, this is controlled information, obviously, at this point, so i think most of the information going around is something thats been circulated widely. Christian eriksen is a national hero, he was the crowned champion with inter milan, hes been crowned a footballer of the year, he is our biggest Football Star since Michael Amber some 30 35 years ago. So i think you could say this is Football And Royalty in denmark that was battling for his life footballing royalty. Most of you have probably seen the pictures of the players healing him on the pitch. He was stretched off behind the white linen, so everyone was really concerned. I mean, everyone was really, really concerned about his well being. This was definitely the key, the Core Member of the squad, all of a sudden collapsing to the ground. I mean, this is had a huge impact. This has had. Earlier we spoke to dr sam mohiddin, the cardiologist from St Barts Heart Centre in london, who treated the Footballer Fabrice Muamba In Hospital, after he collapsed whilst playing for Bolton Wanderers nine years ago. These things are rare. They are incredible catastrophes that have ramifications that really just. Affect communities around them. We think around 500 individuals a year will have a sudden cardiac arrest. Situations can often include sporting activities when it happens. What happened to Christian Eriksen happen to fabrice and a number of others, other high profile athletes is rare, but it does happen. In fact, because it can happen, many sporting institutions, clubs, national organisations will actually arrange Screening Tests for their athletes to try and detect some of the underlying causes that can result in cardiac arrests. But clearly that isnt the only answer, these events still happen. In this was the reaction from the danish director. Translation we saw Christian Eriksen Collapse Translation we saw Christian Eriksen Collapse And Translation we saw Christian Eriksen collapse and he Eriksen Collapse and he received help in cpr on the pitch. Then chris and erickson was awake at the time. He is at the hospital right now for further examination, where we are also in contact with him. The players have contacted christian, hes well for some it is sad news, but in this game, fortunately, christian is doing well and the players are playing this much for him. He is well, and that is what we are thinking about, and our thoughts, of course, orwith christians parents and family. Because christian is well, it is important for him to know that that he is awake them to know. He got help quickly from our doctors and the rest of the staff who helped and saved him. The players have been reassured that christian as well, and that was important to them. Theres No Doubt that the players are playing on adrenaline, and we must take care of everything else afterwards. Right now, football is not important, but the players have talked with christian and they know he is well thought and that gave them some comfort, and they are now playing the game for him. Reaction to the collapse on the pitch of footballer chrisitian eriksen. Our other top News Story Today its been day two of the G7 Summit. Leaders have reached a broad consensus on a plan to finance Infrastructure Projects in the developing world to counter chinas influence. Its meant be an alternative to the Belt And Road initiative. My colleague Christian Fraser is at the summit in cornwall, south west england. A very good evening from falmouth, where The Sun has just gone down on day two of the summit. Six hours of talks between the leaders, with the focus on future, pandemic preparedness, security and a particularfocus pushed by The Americans on how to contain and challenge chinas growing influence in the developing world. The seven leaders are being asked to commit, to a Project Borisjohnson has dubbed the carbis bay declaration. That will be wrapped tomorrow. But his Stand Off with the eu Over Trade in northern Ireland Post brexit has over shadowed the conference. Politicos chief brussels correspondent, david herszenhorn, gave me the details on that. There is this continuing disagreement where, from the eu side, they really think borisjohnson wants them to solve a problem he created. He pushed to undo the agreement they reached with theresa may, to put essentially a Customs Border in the middle of the irish sea. Now thats coming back to haunt him. But everybody, really because weve seen already unrest on the island of ireland so the eu does have an obligation here because, of course, they too want to protect the good friday agreement, they are very heartened Thatjoe Biden is kind of on their side, reminding Boris Johnson that if ireland is hurt in this process, hell have a very hard time with this special relationship. But this is not done yet, it will continue for a while. On the wider issue of china do the europeans see eye to eye with Joe Biden . Theyre much closer on china, and clearly we will hear some noise out of beijing after this communique. From all the Reporting Weve done, there will be tough language on tentions in the Taiwan Strait there has never been a statement like that before by the g7, the last time they had a communique was one line on china. Tensions in the Taiwan Strait. Here we expect a more robust Section And Something the chinese government will probably react to very strongly, not happy, saying the g7 is meddling and interfering in theiraffairs. In terms of the communique tomorrow, obviously weve been briefed some over the big headlines, first of all, do you think we will get a Vaccine Declaration from the europeans in terms of numbers they are prepared to donate, in terms of doses . We do believe that. Theyve already said 100 million, we think they are prepared to up that. Emmanuel macron reacting toJoe Bidens announcement of a 500 Million dose donation, saying, if they are more ambitious, the eu should also be more ambitious. I think thats a sign the big overarching message, of course, of this summit is, withJoe Biden here, the alliance is back, the cooperation is back. They arent worried, as with Donald Trump, somebody will leave this summit and suddenly blow up that communique as he did after quebec. So its been two years, but even longer because Emmanuel Macron avoided doing the communique in france because he was worried Donald Trump was going to upend it. So here, finally theyll have a nice, robust communique, a joint statement on vaccines, on Climate Change, on china, on russia. We hear language coming on ethiopia, concerned about whats happening in the Tigre Region quite a lot of areas where they will show there is broad agreement amongst the seven wealthy democracies and how the world should be run. And just quickly to close, any sticking points . Anything theyve still got to iron out . The last piece im hearing is that, on the intellectual Property Issue remember, Joe Biden surprised the europeans by Advocating For Lifting Patent protections for vaccines, and they pushed back hard, Angela Merkel in particular, saying that alone Wont Increase Production quickly, which is what they need, and theres a risk of the western Mrna Technology whats behind the Pfizer And Moderna vaccines simply being transferred to a country like china that can make use of it rather than helping nations like africa that really need doses. So theres a little bit of wrestling at The End. The us seems to want to go fatherthere, saying, lift those patent protections. The dutch, the germans, and the french seem to be holding back, saying, no, letsjust say ip should not be an obstacle to vaccine equity. Here in cornwall, a number of ngos are hoping to have their say on proceedings, including the urgency of tackling global poverty. Ruth valerio is an environmentalist, Theologian And Director of global advocacy at Disaster Relief and development charity, tea rfund. She told me what she wants the g7 leaders to conclude. We want to see 0. 7| Being Put back again by the uk government. 0. 7 gdp . 0. 7 of gdp, which is our aid i budget going toward some of the poorest communities in the world. We know weve been hearing that, as that money is cut, l fewer girls are going to schools, more vaccines are sitting on shelves that arent being delivered,. Other health services. Arent able to happen. Boris johnson wants to be seen as a global leader. L this is an absolutely crucial year for so many issues. I that wont happen if hes a man who breaks his promises above all, breaks his promises to some of the most marginalised communities in the world. But wouldnt he say, when we made this commitment in the manifesto, we werent facing a pandemic, weve gone up an awful amount of debt. Last week, british viewers would say we couldnt afford to put £10 billion into schools to help students get up to speed. So should we be spending that sort of money on people overseas . Well, yesterday, i heard i Boris Johnson talking very positively about our economy and about the economy bouncing back. And the Aid Cuts have come at a time when others are facing a double whammy of covid and climate. So now is not the time for us to be turning our backs on our global neighbours. There is also £450 million of new money, we are told, thats going towards childrens education. Is that outside the 0. 5 that the Internationall Aid Budget now is . Well, its new money, but lets put that in the context of the cutl which is the equivalent of about £5 billion. So it might be a little. Bit of new money here, but then youve got a huge amount of Aid Cuts. So its a drop in the ocean and really doesnt mean anything. | lets talk about Climate Change, because of course, this does affect the poorest communities there are 47 of the poorest nations Around The World who were promised £100 billion, ithink, at the paris climate agreement. Earlier. Laughter. A lot earlier and still, were trying to get up to that mark which is where the cynicism comes from in something like this. Yeah, thats right. The Finance Ministers last week recommitted to delivering that £100 billion. But lets remember, that was committed in 2009 and it still hasnt been delivered. So this weekend, we need to see a plan for it to be delivered quickly i but then we mustnt stop and think that weve done it, because that shouldve been| done years ago. We now need to be focusingl on what other money we can release in order to support. The lower and middle income countries as they face l the brunt of the climate crisis. We were talking to someone from the Union Project earlier, and he said he really did see common purpose and a real focus on Climate Change at last nights dinner. He recognised that the uk is actually leading from the front, and i think we are about to get a new green Initiative And Framework for investment in developing countries. Is it time for other g7 countries to follow the uks example . Yeah, im really encouraged i to hear that from tim schmidt. Earlier this year, the uk ended their Financing I of overseas Fossil Fuels a brilliant example that we now need to see the other g7. Nations following that lead, and also ending their support to overseas I Fossil Fuel projects. Ruth Valerio Therefrom to your fund. The leaders have been on the Beach Tonight for a barbecue and an informal get together. Around open campfires, theyve had crab claws, scallops, marshmallows and brandy butter, and theyve been serenaded on the beach. Weve had our own Sea Platter and we were also treated by a farm with band to a sea shanty. For leaders to meet wouldnt do them any harm for leaders to talk wouldnt do them any harm and well all hang and so g7 leaders agree a plan today. Youre not in cornwall just for a holiday. All of our grandkids will thank you all one day. And well all hang on behind. 0h, a week in Carbis Bay Wouldnt do them any harm. A week in Carbis Bay Wouldnt do them any harm.

Heres our royal correspondent nick witchell. In the quadrangle of Windsor Castle where, two months ago, the military paraded for the funeral of the duke of edinburgh, today the celebration of a birthday. Royal salute. Present arms it is the queens Birthday Parade, marking this year, her 95th birthday and for the second year, because of the pandemic, the parade took place within the comparative privacy of Windsor Castle rather than in public on horse Guards Parade in central london. Unlike last years very reduced parade, this year a colour was trooped from the 2nd battalion of the scots guards. The standard was paraded through the ranks. There was intricate drill, closely observed by a monarch who attended her first Birthday Parade with herfather, george vi. Wistful moments, perhaps, with memories of the many years when she would always have been accompanied to this parade by her husband. But this is a monarch who is keeping busy.
