the king — who is also receiving cancer treatment — travelled with the queen in a carriage instead of riding on horseback, as he has done in the past. charlotte gallagher reports. the princess of wales, back in the public eye. riding in a carriage with her three children at the king's birthday parade. all eyes on her for her first appearance since her cancer diagnosis was announced. she was a huge draw for the crowds in central london today. this is a day full of tradition and spectacle, but it's also about family. the king and queen in their carriage. it's his first trooping the colour since his own cancer diagnosis, and he chose not to travel on horseback. the troops taking part have been rehearsing for months. every step, drumbeat and musical note has to be perfect. the irish guards are leading the event this year and their colour, or regimentalflag, has been on full display. their royal colonel, the princess of wales, looked on with her children as the king took the salute from the parade ground next to his son and heir to the throne, prince william, himself the royal colonel of the welsh guards. the princess of wales only announced she was attending the event yesterday, and it's a welcome sign about her recovery and recuperation. although the weather hasn't been ideal, the pageantry of trooping the colour is the same, with the king braving the elements outside buckingham palace. this has been an incredibly difficult six months for the royalfamily, but today they are together for one of their grandest celebrations. charlotte gallagher, bbc news. our correspondent sarah campbell is in central london. it celebrates the king's official birthday but as you say there are many eyes on the princess because as we said this is herfirst appearance since her cancer diagnosis. in fact, her first public appearance since before christmas. let's talk to robert hardman of the daily mail and author of charles iii: the inside story. the palace are very keen to point out that this is not a return to royal duties for the princess. that is still some way off because her cancer treatment continues. that's right, she has said and they have said, in a personal statement, she said, "i have my good days and i have my bad days." no question today was a good day. i would say this is the most upbeat, probably the happiest day for the monarchy this year. the last time we saw all of them together smiling and in good spirits was last christmas. since then we have had all the dramas, the medical diagnoses. they have been through a lot. there is still a long way to go but what we did see today was that the direction of travel is going the right way. both the king and the princess very much showing that the monarchy are doing their best and united as a family today, a strong family day. it is an international event. it will be watched from an international perspective. but as you say it is a family event, it always feels like a family event, and that image when they are standing on the balcony as the red arrows fly overhead, it is often used as a defining image of the royal family that year. so it would have been important to them that that is the image as opposed to a depleted family, shall we say. you are absolutely right, had the princess not been there, then i think they would have been a pall hanging over it but that's the picture that will be on the front pages, notjust in this country but on newspapers around the world tomorrow — the message could not be clearer. yes, these are challenging times but we are getting through this. that was our correspondence sarah campbell in central london speaking to robert hardman. dozens of world leaders are joining president zelensky in switzerland to explore how to bring peace to ukraine. mr zelensky is hoping to sustain the momentum of this week's g7 meeting, when leaders pledged $50 billion of loans on the back of seized russian assets, and his signing a ten—year security deal with president biden. but no—one from russia is invited to the two—day summit and china is staying away. the ukrainian president was in a positive mood as the summit opened. today is a day ofjoint success. indeed, we all managed to give diplomacy a chance. ukraine never wanted this war — this criminal and absolute unprovoked aggression of russia and the only one who wanted it was putin. i believe that we will witness history being made here at the summit. thank you for your support. and mayjustice be established as soon as possible. and may a just peace be established as soon as possible. that was volodymyr zelensky at the opening of the summit. the bbc�*s sarah rainsford is at the summit venue. she says everyone taking part is being realistic about what can be achieved. this is not even being described as a peace summit, it's being described as a summit on peace. i think that is key, because it's about trying to feel the way towards some kind of deal that, first and foremost, will be acceptable to ukraine and then could potentially in future be presented to russia. president zelensky of ukraine is already here, holding meetings with a number of world leaders. he is already presenting the fact that this event is happening at all as a success. he is very keen to point to the huge number of people and countries here but, as you mentioned, china is not here. i think that's key. if russia at any point — and we're talking some way down the road here — if russia was pressured into accepting any kind of deal that ukraine and its allies come up with, then china may be key to that. without china involved in this process, it's difficult to see how russia could ever be pressured into accepting this deal. and before the summit even happened, president putin made it clear he would never accept any deal. in fact, he issued an ultimatum which he described as a peace proposal, but it was an ultimatum, saying that ukraine needs to withdraw from all four regions that russia claims to have annexed in ukrainian territory, and ukraine has to give up on its ambitions ofjoining nato. so there is a massive gulf between ukraine and russia at the moment, the fighting is still intense inside ukraine, so this is very much an early and tentative step. the bbc�*s sarah rainsford. as we mentioned, ukraine was a big part of the g7 summit of world leaders that has been taking place in italy. it has just wrapped up after tackling the topics of migration, chinese trade policy, and artificial intelligence on friday. a discussion about al. it's the first time a pope has participated in a g7 summit. italy's prime minister, giorgia meloni, has been speaking at the final news conference of the event in the last hour. translation: we know that areas of conflict - are multiplying around the world. and we know that some saw things differently and didn't believe that we would continue to show support for ukraine as we have. we continue to have a comprehensive, integrated, unified approach to help this nation, which has been attacked, to look to the future. italy's prime minister giorgia meloni who was speaking in the last couple of hours. james landale, our correspondent, gave us this update from the g7. figs correspondent, gave us this update from the 67-— from the g7. as ever, the summits are a mixture _ from the g7. as ever, the summits are a mixture of _ from the g7. as ever, the summits are a mixture of an _ from the g7. as ever, the summits are a mixture of an awful _ from the g7. as ever, the summits are a mixture of an awful lot - from the g7. as ever, the summits are a mixture of an awful lot of- are a mixture of an awful lot of issues they pack into two or three days. they talked about migration, they talked about artificial intelligence, they talked about the threat from china, notjust in terms of support for russia and ukraine but also its threat to global markets. but the central focus of many of the discussions that took place here both formally as part of the g7 and also bilaterally in the margins and in the corridors here, is of course the war in ukraine. the italian prime minister summing everything up today said that there have been a comprehensive and united approach to defend ukraine. she also said that the g7 sends a strong signal that people would support ukraine for as long as it is necessary. those are the words in terms of the actions at this summit they have agreed to raise $50 billion in a loan for ukraine that's going to be paid off, if you by using interest made on frozen russian assets. we have a bit more information about that today from the italian prime minister. she said that the united states, canada, the uk and japan would be the main countries providing that loan. and then the european countries would joining in terms of sharing debt. she also in her press conference summing the summit up addressed the so—called peace offering, the offer of ceasefire and peace talks made by president putin just 2a hours ago, she described this as a propaganda move, not something that should be taken seriously. effectively, she said it is like saying to ukraine you can leave ukraine if you want to sit down at the peace talks. giorgia meloni joining others in the west in dismissing this attempt by president putin to try and get ahead of the peace conference that is taking place in switzerland to discuss ukraine's own ideas for peace. so that was the broad perspective that we got today from this g7. the italians are very happy with the way it went. i think the problem, though, is this. this is a weaker g7 than other years. many of the leaders apart from giorgia meloni face electoral challenges. it's very unlikely that the same seven people will be sitting around this table again. so the summit has demonstrated some unity on ukraine, but as ever the question will be, well what has been decided here in italy actually last and have an impact in years to come? that was our diplomatic _ impact in years to come? that was our diplomatic correspondent - impact in years to come? that was. our diplomatic correspondent james landale there. our diplomatic correspondentjames landale there. he was just summing up landale there. he was just summing up the outcome of the g7 summit of world leaders which hasjust up the outcome of the g7 summit of world leaders which has just wrapped up. to south africa next. cyril ramaphosa has spoken of a new era of hope for the county, after being re—elected president as leader of a national unity government. his african national congress party was forced to reach a power sharing agreement after it lost its outright majority in last month's elections. the anc�*s main partner is its former long—time opponent, the democratic alliance. mr ramaphosa said the south african people expected the parties involved to work together to tackle poverty, unemployment and inequality. it is with pleasure that i accept. it will once again be a privilege and a pleasure to serve this great nation in the position of president. i accept this as a big responsibility, and i wish to thank all leaders for your congratulatory messages delivered here at this podium. your messages are a clear clarion call for working together. your messages constitute what i see as a well of encouragement, of good advice and of wisdom. cyril ramaphosa, having been re—elected president as the national leader of the unity government. let's move on to politics now. we are at the halfway point in the election campaign. the liberal democrats, meanwhile, are calling for a boost to front line policing in a bid to tackle car crime. let's cross to our correspondent, jenny hill in surrey. looking like you have pulled over at the minute, jenny. tell us about some of the pledge is being made by the lib dems. some of the pledge is being made by the lib dem— the lib dems. show. the lib dems have had a — the lib dems. show. the lib dems have had a rather— the lib dems. show. the lib dems have had a rather damp _ the lib dems. show. the lib dems have had a rather damp afternoonl the lib dems. show. the lib dems. have had a rather damp afternoon in the surrey countryside, ed davey enjoying a game of rounders with some of his supporters. as i say, it was rather rainy, we have been treated to the full range of the british summer. ed davey proved as if we needed proof, that politics is indeed a very competitive sport. if he is worried about what's been happening with reform and its position in the polls he is certainly not showing it although i'm quite sure his aides behind—the—scenes are keeping a close eye. we asked him what he made of reform and where it sits in the opinion polls, it is polling ahead of the lib dems, though that doesn't necessarily translate into votes. he said to us, it is not something to worry about. we don't share reform or mr farage's values, and appeared to be very unconcerned, making the point that in his view the lib dems is the only party offering real political change, and therefore a potential home for any voter who be disillusioned with the current political system. disillusioned with the current politicalsystem. in disillusioned with the current political system. in terms of crime and policing which, as you mentioned, is what the lib dems were keen to focus on today, mr davey is calling, interestingly, for the scrapping of police and crime commissioner is. these are the elected officials who are supposed to ensure the smooth running of local police forces, setting their budgets, hiring and firing chief constables and so on. it's interesting because the lib dems were actually in government with the conservatives in that coalition when they introduced police and crime commissioner is. now they say they want to scrap them. mr davey says by scrapping them he could raise some £117 million over the course of a parliament. that money the lib dems believe would be better channelled into front line policing. that's been the focus of today. i did also want to give you an update on mr davey�*s knees. early in the week his team had him out and about tackling a pretty tough assault course with him crawling under tunnels and so on. we had a bit of a look at his knees today as he was bouncing around on a trampoline and i can attest to the fact he had some pretty nasty looking scabs on knees. both nevertheless, as perhaps we have come to expect from mr davey, still a smile on his face regardless.— still a smile on his face retardless. , ., , ., , regardless.

have a special live page up and running online where you can get the latest on campaigns and analysis from our correspondence and the bbc very verify team will look at the claims made by politicians. you can find that on the bbc news website or app. now let's get a round—up of the sport. we start with the european championship with three games on saturday. after the hosts germany thrashed scotland 5—1 in the tournament opener. the other two teams in that group are into the second half of their game in koln. switzerland lead hungary 2—0. hungary have lostjust twice in their last 20 games. switzerland have reached the knockout stages at five consecutive tournaments, that's a record only france can match. the swiss are 2—0 up with an hour played. later, all eyes turn to group b, where the holders italy face albania. before that, the three—time champions spain take on the 2018 world cup finalists croatia in a mouthwatering match in berlin. translation: for the past couple of years, especially _ in the world cup and nations league, i think we have shown that we belong to be at the top of european football. so in the european championship we have missed this final step to achieve the greatest results, so i hope that we are confident and we are really looking forward to this tournament, and i hope we can create something big. translation: with the “ournalists i've spoken to, i think _ they are assessing us in the right sort of way based on what we've done on the pitch. internally, we know we are a strong national team with the potential to compete at the top level, so if you ask professionals of other national teams, they would admit that's the case. we are playing against another strong team and it won't be easy. next to the sad news that the former arsenal and everton striker kevin campbell has died at the age of 5a after a short illness. he'd been in hospital since last month. campbell spent six years with everton, having started his career at arsenal, where he won the first division title, fa cup, league cup and european cup winners' cup. he scored 148 goals in 542 appearances across spells with eight clubs during his career including nottingham forest, west brom and in turkey, with trabzonspor. arsenal have paid tribute, saying, "kevin was adored by everyone at the club, all of us are thinking about his friends and family at this difficult time. rest in peace, kevin." everton says, "notjust a true goodison park hero, and icon of the british game and an incredible person as well. as anyone who ever met him will know, rest in peace, super curve." —— super kev. news today too that the millwall and montenegro goalkeeper matija sarkic has died at the age of 26. sarkic, who was born in grimsby, joined millwall from wolves in august last

died suddenly on saturday morning, with local media reporting he collapsed at his apartment. millwall say they're completely devastated by the news. let's turn our attention to golf. it's moving day

winner bryson dechambeau. rory mcilroy, who's last major title came a decade ago, is two shots off the lead. new zealand finished their disappointing t20 world cup campaign with a win, easily overcoming uganda by nine wickets, with 88 balls to spare. south africa, by contrast, had a far more difficult evening. the proteas struggled to 115—7 from their 20 overs, reeza hendricks top scored with a3. in reply, nepal looked set for a seismic upset but fell agonisingly short. needing two off the last ball, they were unable to force a super over when gulsanjha was run out, handing south africa the win. two more matches on saturday. up first, india take on canada. england then face namibia. keep across it on the bbc sport website. that's all the sport for now. we mention the deaths of

contamination with e. coli. the bacteria has not been detected in the items but at least 60 products are being removed as a precaution. 0ur health correspondentjim reed has more. a recall of this size is unusual. almost every major supermarket chain is removing products from its shelves as the hunt for the source of this outbreak continues. e.coli is a bacterial infection which can cause stomach cramps, sickness and fever. genetic tests show the 211 cases confirmed so far are all linked in some way. to date, there have been 147 cases in england, 27 in wales, 35 in scotland and two in northern ireland, though it's thought those infections were acquired in england. in total, at least 67 people have needed hospital treatment. if you have really painful stomach ache or bloody diarrhoea, those are the things that should ring the alarm bells, seek medical advice. investigators say they've narrowed down the cause of the infection to a type of lettuce leaf and are working to identify the supplier orfarm involved. two food manufacturers have already withdrawn products which may contain the same leaf, while a third company could be added as soon as today. none of the items have tested positive for e.coli but retailers have been asked to remove them from sale as a precaution. the products named so far include 60 different types of premade sandwiches, wraps and salads. most are own—label products sold by chains such as tesco, sainsbury�*s, asda and morrisons as well as boots and aldi. a full list is on the bbc website. supermarkets are asking shoppers who've bought any of the infected products not to eat them, but to return them to a store where they'll be given a full refund. jim reed, bbc news. now let's turn to saudi arabia. muslim pilgrims in mecca are facing

mysterious illness led to hundreds of them starving and getting sick. nearly 400 were rescued and have been nursed back to health in wildlife centres. there they are flying free. stay with us here on bbc news. hello, good afternoon. the unsettled, rather cool theme is set to continue this weekend. more sunny spells and showers to come in the forecast. of course it isjune so in the best of the sunshine it feels pleasantly warm but plenty of showers around, heavy and thundery at times, too. and across the north of england and southern scotland in particular, with very light winds the showers could last for some time and maybe lead to some flooding. really quite blustery in the south, across south wales, the midlands, east anglia, the south of england in particular, gusts of wind could reach 40—50mph as average speeds. the showers will rattle through quite quickly towards the south, sunny spells and temperatures very much sunshine dependent so 14—18 celsius, below the seasonal average still. as we head through this evening and overnight, a lot of the showers will fade away, the winds will ease towards the south but some heavy, persistent rain just tracking westwards across northern scotland and eventually sinking southwards into northern ireland in time for tomorrow morning. it is milder here than it was last night, for most of us 7—10 celsius into tomorrow morning. low pressure sticks around through the day tomorrow, although they showers swirling around it. but for many there will still be some showers around but certainly fewer of them. it is a slightly drier, warmer feeling day and there will be some bright and sunny spells. that is to say away from the north and west. the heavy rain will sink southwards and into central scotland and away eventually from northern ireland by the time we get it tomorrow afternoon. turning more showery in the north and west. still some more showers further south and with lighter winds they could be slow—moving but a few of them, 19 or 20 celsius in the south of england tomorrow afternoon. those temperatures could improve a little further on monday. again, a general improvement. most of the showers across eastern scotland down through north—eastern england but fewer showers further south this time and temperatures will tend to peak between 15 and 21 celsius. into tuesday, high pressure starts to try and edge in from the south and the west. but low pressure still towards the north and another system across europe needs watching on tuesday. system across europe needs watching on tuesday and wednesday. that could produce a more showers in the south and east as we head through the middle of the week. but otherwise, a little drier and a little warmer, too. this is bbc news, the headlines. the princess of
