A welcome for a president , as the queen hosts the bidens at windsor. And. Got past one, then two. Then plays it into sterling. Thatll do nicely. An unprecedented winning start for england in the euros. The suns out, england are winning, what more could you want . Just nice to be out with people enjoying the weather, enjoying the football. And everybodyjust being able i to enjoy themselves, its great. Good evening. The uks hosting of the G7 Summit ended today as leaders left cornwall with a final statement that included covid Vaccine Donations and more action on climate change. The Prime Minister denied the summit had been dominated by rifts over Post Brexit arrangements in Northern Ireland, saying the issue was a Vanishingly Small part of the meeting. He also said he would be putting out a whole package of Information Tomorrow about the next stage of Lockdown Easing in england. From st ives, heres our political editor, laura kuenssberg. Ready for a fortifying early dip . Borisjohnson wanted to show off the british seaside to the most powerful leaders in the world, but has ended up going headlong into a clash on the side with the french president , who its claimed, questioned whether Northern Ireland was really part of the uk. The spectacle of the summit seemed immaculate. The more bracing reality, perhaps not so inviting. I know that the world was looking to us to reject some of the selfishness and nationalistic approaches that have marred the initial global response to the pandemic. I do hope that we have lived up to some of the most optimistic of hopes and predictions. Were you offended by president macron� s comments in your Meeting Yesterday about northern Irelands Place in the uk . I think its the job of the Government Of The United Kingdom to uphold the territorial integrity of the united kingdom. I think it was a point i made to you yesterday, and actually that subject occupied a vestigial, Vanishingly Small proportion of our deliberations. And youve listed what you believe to be the achievements of this summit, but health and environmental campaigners are really clear that they hoped it would go further. Do you wish youd been able to push your fellow leaders to give even greater commitments . 2. 5 billion pledged for Girls Education already. Thats not half bad. And a new global campaign to help countries Around The World to build back better, cleaner and greener. I think its been a highly productive few days. This global gathering is important for all sorts of reasons. It seems a good first connection between the Prime Minister and The American president. But the uk and the eu seem stuck again, pointing the finger at Each Other over Northern Ireland. Remember, as part of the Brexit Deal it still has to follow some eu rules. The prime Ministers Frustration how tightly brussels wants them enforced. European leaders angered, believing the uk is trying to slide out of what it agreed. Honestly, we cant create disagreements every morning about these serious issues, said the french president. We just want the agreement to be respected. But The American President S 12 Vehicle Convoy rolled out of this tiny cornish town, he wanted to leave behind a much bigger message that after all the turbulence of trump, he wants to work with the rest of the world. I felt it wasnt about me, but it was about america. I felt a genuine sense of enthusiasm that america was back at the table and fully, fully engaged. Big promises have been made on vaccines, on climate change, but there are blanks in the black and white over how those vows will be kept and the Cornish Air certainly hasnt blown away brexit tensions. But overall this summit has been a major statement of intent from the most powerful politicians in the west, that after a year of crisis, countries can do more together than working apart. However spectacular the surroundings, Summits Cantjust be political love ins. Prime ministers and President S may have ambition in common but ideas can clash. Postcard images dont make political problems disappear for good. And we can speak live to laura now. With The End of the Summit A Big Focus will be on that announcement on englands lockdown. Has the decision already been made . I think it pretty much has. It will be a really sharp Contrast Tomorrow between the stunning backdrop of cornwall, the blazing sunshine, borisjohnson cornwall, the blazing sunshine, Boris Johnson clearly cornwall, the blazing sunshine, borisjohnson clearly relishing the role of Playing Host to the worlds most powerful elected politicians, and the reality of what we expect he will announce tomorrow. A Government Source told me in the last half an hour that there has been a decision to delay the planned lifting of all the Covid Limits in england for another four weeks. The Covid Limits in england for anotherfourweeks. I the Covid Limits in england for another four weeks. I would stress that has not been officially confirmed and it is not clear yet whether there will be some exceptions or caveats attached. But for some days now, that has obviously been the direction of travel. Covid cases have started to creep up again and so too has the realisation in government that they were going to have to do, in their view, take this kind of step. They will of course meet pockets of resistance in their own party, and there will be people, particularly in the Hospitality Trade and other forms of business, who really find the reality of what is likely to happen to be very upsetting, very difficult and very challenging, but it is certainly seeming that is where Boris Johnsons it is certainly seeming that is where borisjohnson� s Decision Making is heading. We will know the precise details in the early Evening Tomorrow Night and a reminder really that whatever the global high politics, the gladhanding with other leaders from Around The World, the reality of day to day difficult Decision Making and dilemmas never stops for any Prime Minister or any president who has been here on the seaside this week. President who has been here on the seaside this week. Laura kuenssberg, thank ou. Lets look then at the latest Government Figures on coronavirus. In the last 2a hours there were eight more deaths and 7,490 new infections. It means the average number of new cases per day in the last week was 7,116. On vaccinations, just over 254,000 people received a first dose in the latest 24 hour period, which means over 41. 5 million people or nearly 79 of Uk Adults have had theirfirstjab. Just over 320,000 had a second Jab Meaning that nearly 30 Million or 56 of adults are fully vaccinated. Ahead of tomorrows announcement, our health Correspondentjim Reed has been looking at the data in more detail, and how the remaining restrictions in england could change. Drinks and socialising outside this afternoon. Tomorrow, the government must decide whether to lift all remaining Lockdown Rules in england from june 21st, perhaps scrapping that limit of six people inside. The growth of the Delta Variant first found in india has made that call more difficult. Scientists think it may spread 60 faster than the older Kent Or Alpha version. Speaking on the andrew marr programme, a Government Adviser said relaxing rules further could fan the flames of the pandemic. The way i look at it is, if youre driving down a road and you are coming up to a bend and you are not quite sure whats around that bend, but you think there might be something bad, you dont put your foot on the accelerator. If anything, you slow down, not speed up. And i think its analogous to that. I think weve got to be really cautious. Covid infections are still well below the levels seen injanuary, but they have been rising since some indoor mixing was allowed. This Graph Plots cases so you can more easily see the rate of growth. What scientists want to see is for that straight line to start Curving Round as transmission starts to slow down. If that doesnt happen, then at the current rate of growth, we could see 15,000 cases a day by the start of next week. The hope is the Vaccine Roll out can prevent those new cases turning into hospital admissions. There are about half as many people in hospital now across the uk based on our infection rate, than what you would expect. And the reason for that is the older groups, who were more likely to go into hospital, have had both doses of the vaccine. The data shows a second Vaccine Dose provides far more protection against the Delta Variant than just one. Scientists say its why a delay to that final stage of unlocking might be needed to give more time to getjabs into arms this summer. Jim reed, bbc news. After 12 years in power, Benjamin Netanyahu has been ousted as israels Prime Minister, after a new Coalition Government won a vote of confidence in parliament. It will be led for two years by the right wing nationalist Naftali Bennett and, as part of a power sharing deal, he will then hand over to centrist Yair Lapid for a further two years. Heres our middle East Correspondent tom bateman. Theyve waited for 12 years. In this divided country, for the people who wanted to oust their most enduring leader, now its their moment. It took a chaotic vote in Israels Parliament to get there. With the count about to start, Mr Netanyahu makes one last stand. Iran is celebrating because they understand there will be a weak and slack government, he says. The opposition in israel will have a clear and strong voice. Well be back soon the new coalition scraped in byjust a single vote. It was all over for israels combative, often controversial leader, one who leaves an indelible legacy. Benjamin netanyahu rose rallying israelis against the oslo peace deals with the palestinians. There is a battle forjerusalem. He was a figurehead for the right. Supporters saw him as mr security. But opponents despised his tough brand of nationalism. He won successive elections, but he split voters. And a trial for corruption, claims he denies, left him increasingly isolated. Israels new pm is Mr Netanyahus former aide, Naftali Bennett a nationalist, who opposes a future palestinian state. He called for unity, but laid into those he said were tearing the country apart. After two years, Hell Hand over to the centrist Yair Lapid. How long will the coalition last . Israels new coalition spans the left to the nationalist right and, for the first time, an arab israeli party. Naftali bennett now has to lead the broadest coalition in israeli history, and that could make it one of the most unstable. He has his work cut out just to govern. They have a crisis to deal with. After israels recent war with hamas In Gaza and violent division inside israel, fears are rising of new tensions again. But this is a moment of israeli history, as the throne is pulled away from the politician some called the king of israel. Tom bateman, bbc news, jerusalem. England have, for the first time, won an Opening Match in the European Football championships. They defeated croatia 1 0 at wembley this afternoon, thanks to a second Half Goal from raheem sterling. Our Sports Editor Dan Roan is at wembley now. On nine previous occasions, england had tried and failed to win their Opening Match at her euros. On paper this didnt look easy, croatia looks like the toughest opponents in their group, the World Cup finalists no less. And lets remember, on the hottest day of the year so far.

There were moments where the tempo dropped just because of the heat, and the majority of the game, we were in control. Didnt give them any opportunities and we looked dangerous. I am here with england, i am enjoying the football and that is the most important thing. Im just happy to score. I always said if i played at wembley, a major tournament, im scoring.

After Christian Eriksen� s collapse during yesterdays denmark finland euros game, the danish Teams Doctor confirmed today that a Cardiac Arrest was the cause and that he was gone, prior to being resuscitated. The former Tottenham Star is now recovering in hospital. Nick beake reports from copenhagen. The heartfelt messages were to get well soon. A show of strength for Christian Eriksen, who was awake, even asking about his Team Mates. Everyone here at this euro 2020 Fan Zone knew it could have been so different. Hearing that hes in good shape and he actually had some conversations with the team and so on, its fantastic. Thats the only thing that matters to us, christians health. Yeah, the football is secondary today. 100 . That sense of relief has been shared by Football Fans the world over. Thats because today we got confirmation, if it were needed, of just how serious the situation was. Earlier we asked Denmarks Team Doctor how close they were to losing Christian Eriksen. Yeah, what should i say . He was. He was gone. And we did cardiac resuscitation, and it was a Cardiac Arrest. How close were we . I dont know. We got him back. And the sight of Christian Eriksen conscious as he left the pitch gave hope to all. But his Team Mates are being offered psychological support and the Denmark Head Coach says it was wrong to ask the players to resume the match. The players resumed in a shock condition. Players who almost, and they dont really know yet, if they lost their best friend, and they have to decide. Eriksen is still being monitored at denmarks leading heart unit, where doctors are yet to work out why he collapsed. A tournament already delayed by the pandemic goes on, with Football And Life put in perspective. Nick beake, bbc news, copenhagen.

Theres more on the bbc sport website, including details of tenniss british Number One Johanna Konta winning the nottingham open title. Thats it from me. Now on bbc one, its time for the news where you are. Goodnight. Hello there. It was 28 celsius at wembley today. Weve just had the warmest day of the year so far in Northern Ireland. For many parts of the country, though, tomorrow will be cooler and fresher. The Cooler Air is to the northwest of this band of cloud here, thats been bringing some wetter weather toward scotland, Northern Ireland, cumbria, as well. And that band of cloud will take some Rain Southwards Across Scotland and Northern Ireland, eventually arriving in northern England And North wales, by which time theres not much rain left. Cooler, fresher air coming into scotland and Northern Ireland, but a warm night for england and wales. East anglia, lincolnshire, the East Midlands temperatures may not be lower than 17 18 celsius. Theres not much rain left for northern England And Northway, that soon peters out. This band of cloud heads further south, eventually arriving in the South East during the afternoon. Some sunshine for a while, but A Little Cloud coming but a lot of cloud coming into scotland and Northern Ireland, blustery showers in the North And West of scotland in particular, and much lower temperatures, as well, that Cooler Air moving down to much of england and wales. But the South East, east anglia, still warm or hot, could get close to 30 celsius around the london area. That Weather Front could still keep some cloud in the southeast some cloud in the South East as we head to tuesday morning. Otherwise, high Pressure Building from the azores ahead of another Weather System which will freshen the breeze across scotland and Northern Ireland, bringing more cloud and some rain into the northwest. England and wales, though, dry, lots of Sunshine Wont be as hot in the South East, but elsewhere in the uk, those temperatures are starting to rise a bit on tuesday. As we move things on into wednesday, our band of Cloud And Rain whats left of it is moving away from scotland and Northern Ireland, heading into northern england and into wales. Plenty of sunshine ahead of that, but Cooler Air still coming back into scotland and Northern Ireland quite a contrast in temperatures here because, for many parts of england and wales, itll be getting quite hot and humid. And with that humidity, we could well trigger some thunderstorms later on wednesday all the way into friday, and potential particularly across more central and eastern parts of england for some torrential rain, as well. That could start as early as wednesday night. Thursday continues to see this risk of thundery downpours, moving all the way up from france. Cooler air, though, across many parts of the country, temperatures will be lower across the southeast, and across scotland and Northern Ireland, its drier, but its much cooler
