Good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. The us President Donald Trump and Russias Vladimir Putin have met face to face for the first time shaking hands at the start of the 620 summit in germany. It follows months of speculation about their relationship and allegations of russian intervention in the us president ial election. The two men are due to hold an official meeting at the summit in hamburg later. With issues like Climate Change on the agenda protestors have brought police onto the streets once again today following yesterdays violence. Our Diplomatic Correspondent James Robbins reports. Demonstrators resent both Vladimir Putin and donald trump being here, and thats pitted them against the police with water canons, determined to keep the protesters away from the summit venue. In some overnight bat 8s, a minority of protestors throw missiles and sling shots, Summit Leaders hope it can be contained, they are nervous enough about the crises in the wider world that divide them. So all eyes on donald trump, less than six months in office, and bringing to the summit his unsettling style and America First policies. His host, angela merkel, has clashed with him repeatedly in recent weeks but it is Donald Trumps first face to face trial of strength with russias leader that will electrify the gathering. Today he tweeted. Vladimir putin may stand seven inches shorter than his american rival but he also is a natural fighter with 17 years at the top in russia to his advantage. Yesterday, donald trump landed early blows, accusing russia of destabilising tactics in syria and the ukraine, something that the kremlin denies. The two president s have shaken hands for the first time, a scene captured only by a 6erman time, a scene captured only by a German Government camera but even this glimpse will be replayed to analyse clues in the Body Language ahead of face to face talks later. Today the americas european allies welcomed what they saw as Donald Trumps defence of allies. Donald trump mentioned yesterday, and spoke of axes that matter. And the first test is our meeting in hamburg. Its a tense day, both outside on the streets of hamburg and here inside the heavily fortified summit centre. Tense politically too, as all the other World Leaders are looking to the first head to head between the president of the United States and of russia, to see if one emerges as the Stronger Political personality. Political personality. Its being reported that the police have called for larger numbers to deal with the reenforcements in hamburg. Deal with the reenforcements in hamburg. Our correspondent, jenny hill is in hamburg. Whats happening. There are numerous small clashes breaking out all over the city. We are watching water canons going in one direction, police vans going in another, as they try to fire fight the clashes as and where they break out. The situation seems overwhelming the local employers. They have been backed up by collea g u es they have been backed up by colleagues from forces all over 6ermany colleagues from forces all over germany but have now said that they need more back up. They are calling for reenforcements. The Security Situation so grave, that the spouses of the 620 World Leaders, including mell anna trump, are reported to be stuck in their hotel, a planned trip toa stuck in their hotel, a planned trip to a Climate Change centre was cancelled. Scientists and lecturers will go to the hotel to deliver the lecture there. I dont know if i can show you this, there are protestors here, lying on the floor. We are not sure what the police will do who are watching. It has been quiet here. But most of the protesters are peaceful. It is thought there are Tens Of Thousands of demonstrators in the city. What is striking about the summit is the sheer scale of the number of people coming in and the police seem to be very concerned about what they say is a great of 8,000 more militant protesters. We have seen them dressed in blacks, the faces covered, which is illegal in germany. They have been throwing missiles and weapons leading to violent scenes. Lots of Different Reasons for people protesting, most anger reserved for the 620 summit but some here are furious with the Police Response which they say is too heavy handed. Yenny, thank you very much. Yenny, thank you very much. And theresa may has rejected claims that the uk is losing its global influence because of brexit, insisting it will continue to be bold on the world stage. Speaking at the 620 summit, the Prime Minister said in areas like free trade and counter terrorism, the uk remained a Key International player. Our deputy political editor, john pienaar is in hamburg. John . Well, the Prime Minister is facing challenges on top of the challenges, confronted by World Leaders here, it includes tension over north korea, splits and wrangles with donald trump over the Climate Change. Theresa may has the additional challenge of maintaining Britains International punching power. It is harder in the light of brexit if you believe lord hague and after a disappointing election result. When i spoke to the Prime Minister earlier on, i asked result. When i spoke to the Prime Minister earlier on, iasked her result. When i spoke to the Prime Minister earlier on, i asked her if herjob here speaking for britain gotten harder. Herjob here speaking for britain gotten harder. We can be very timid, we can sit back or we can be bold and thats what were going to be and were going to be bold because the United Kingdom is facing challenges that we need to address. Of course theres brexit and we need to get that right, the talks have started constructively, but weve got a way to go yet but we know the deep and special partnership that we want with the European Union but there are also initiatives that we will be taking around the rest of the world. So, the Prime Minister not keen, as you expect, to accept that britains influence had diminished but no denying she is facing a challenge. Today calling for Global Leaders to come together to work to cut the sources of finances to international terrorism, no problem with that. She will add her weight during the summitfor will add her weight during the summit for donald trump to come back on board with Climate Change. No hope of success there, and the challenge, a successful brexit in the eyes of a divided country and the eyes of a divided country and the worried business community, well thats a work in progress. Well thats a work in progress. The seniorjudge wholl lead the 6renfell Tower Public Inquiry has faced angry questions from survivors of the fire and from local residents. Sir Martin Moore Bick listened to their views at a Public Meeting last night. Last week, he admitted it was doubtful that hed be able to consider the social issues which some people claim have led to a housing crisis. Wyre davies reports. I give you my word that i will look into this matter to the very best of my ability and find the facts as i see them from the evidence. A passionate defence last night of his remit and record from the formerjudge appointed to lead the 6renfell inquiry. He is already facing calls from some residents to stand down. No, but you dont respect me because you say the government is appointing me to do a hatchet job. Not a hatchetjob, youre going to do a Taylor Report Like For Hillsborough which was very technical but didnt deal with the wider issues and it took 30 years for people to be arrested. This is why its so important to get the terms of reference right and for you to tell me what you think it should cover. Some 6renfell residents are sceptical about sir Martin Moore Bick, saying he lacks credibility and empathy with survivors and they fear the scope of his inquiry will not be wide enough. Others, while frustrated, say sir martin should be allowed to get on with his job. I think sir martin does have something of a Credibility Problem but i am sympathetic to the fact there are constraints on him as well. I think its very important that the terms of what hes going to do are clarified quickly. I also think its very important the residents have the say that the Prime Minister promised them. Three weeks after the devastating fire in which at least 80 people were killed, the government says an inquiry led by a judge with wide powers is the best way of proceeding. I think what we owe the 6renfell residents above all is getting to the bottom of why this happened, how it happened and who was responsible so they can be held accountable. 6etting that right, with an investigation that isnt drawn out which addresses the anger of survivors and residents, will be the key to a successful inquiry. Our correspondent, Frankie Mccamley is in west london for us now frankie whats the mood there this morning . Well, following that meeting last night, i have spoken to residents here who have said that it was a very positive meeting. They did get some of the questions answered that they needed, however others still feel let down. They feel residents are not being put first, their questions not being answered, and a resident said to me that he believes that the council will do what it wa nts a nyway. As for sir Martin Moore Bick, residents say, he has a big, tough job on his hand, others saying that they want the inquiry to get under way, others saying that this was a chance to get to know the community, to build trust but he didnt do that but sir Martin Moore Bick saying it was a useful meeting. Remember, a lot of people here are trying to rebuild their lives. Many are living in hotels, some in Temporary Acome deportation but all of them together, they want to know why the disaster happened and who is to be blamed for the at least 80 people that died in the tragedy. Frankie, thank you. An 81 year old former religious teacher has been sentenced to 13 years in prison after being convicted of 1a child sex abuse offences which involved four girls who were aged just 6 to 10 years old.

One victim described how she dreaded going to the mosque knowing he would single her out, we are protecting her anonymity and her words have been revised.

The court heard that siddique had carried out a gross breach of trust, parents had sent their children to the mosque after school, thinking he after school, thinking they would be safe. He had traumatised his victims, touching them sexually under their clothes. Other children were prodded with a wooden or metal stick if they misbehaved. Following his sentence, a statement was issued on behalf of the mosque. All mosques in wales now have Child Protection policies in place and teachers and volunteers alike are all vetted and closely monitored. His victims told the court that he had found it difficult to talk about the abuse in part because of their muslim culture and faith. Today thejudge praised their bravery. Sentencing the 81 year old to 13 years of which half must be served in prison, judge Stephen Hopkins told mohammed siddique, you continue to deny your guilt, you have no understanding of the harm and humiliation you have caused. Beneath the veneer of respectability, sadiq was described as dark and deviant. He showed his victims no remorse. John lloyd, bbc news Cardiff Crown court.

The time is 13 17. Our top story this lunchtime face to face for the first time, Vladimir Putin and donald trump said dan.

Coming up in sport, two weeks after their collision in azerbaijan, Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel renew their rivalry, and its hamilton who sets the early pace in practice for the austrian grand prix. A hundred years ago today women were allowed tojoin the armed forces in the uk. The womens army auxilliary corps began with women working as cooks, drivers and telephonists. Since then quite a lot has changed. Commemorations are taking place at the National Memorial arboretum in staffordshire. From there sima kotecha reports. It happened in the midst of the great war. Women were able to join the army. In 1917 on this very day, the first All Women Unit was created, the womens Army Artillery corps. It meant they could work as cooks and drivers, freeing up men to go into battle. The unit disbanded in 1921 but its birth paved the way for other military services to include women. I was young, i was 21. 94 year old charlotte signed up to the forces during the Second World War and worked at top secret bletchley park, documenting incoming codes. We were at war, we felt we needed to do something and the opportunities were there within the three womens services. I dont know that i actually thought it through at that time, but i mean, thats the top and bottom of it we were here in this island which was being attacked, we needed to do something to defend it. And so you did. And so i did. At the National Memorial arboretum in staffordshire, hundreds of those who have fallen are honoured. Today a tri Service Ceremony took place to recognise what women have achieved in the forces. Women make up more than 10 of the uks regular armed forces and next year they will be able to join infantry units, putting britain in line with other countries such as america. I think itjust gave women a bigger confidence and made them feel that theyd got a bigger part of the military and i feel its a great opportunity and i think more women should try and join, more women should try for the infantry and prove they can do it. However, some of those who have served say sexism can still be an issue and say attitudes must change to make women feel a real part of something they have now belonged to for 100 years.

The World Health Organisation says the Sexually Transmitted Infection Gonorrhoea is getting much harder to treat. A study by the who across 77 countries suggests the condition, which can cause infertility, is rapidly evolving resistance to antibiotics and its stressed its essential that research is carried out to find new drugs and a vaccine. Three cases in france, spain and japan have recently been found to be completely untreatable. Sara smith reports. This life saving drug, which has revolutionised medical science. Ever since the development of penicillin in the 1940s, gonorrhoea, like a host of previously devastating infections, became little more than an inconvenience for those with access to the new antibiotics. Over the years, though, it has become resistant to the drugs available. The options for treating it are running out. Its a very smart organism that has multiple mechanisms by which it can mutate and become resistant to antibiotics. And the evidence is there that its resistant to many of the antibiotics we currently use and soon there will not be any antibiotics available that could be used for this very important infection. There are 78 million new Gonorrhoea Infections worldwide every year. Spread through unprotected sex, if untreated it can cause infertility and can even be passed to a foetus during pregnancy. Its difficult to prevent the chain of transmission with gonorrhoea because if people dont know theyre infected, their sex partners wont know to access treatment. And whats especially worrying is that the pace of development for resistance of gonorrhoea is outstripping what we see with other infections. Three recorded cases of completely resistant gonorrhoea may be just the start, according to the World Health Organisation. It says a vaccine will be needed to stop it. At the moment a disease, the dangers of which many have assumed were consigned to the past, is on the brink of becoming untreatable. The sport now and its a great day for home fans at the all england club. Four british players have made the third round at wimbledon the first time in 20 years. Our Sports Correspondent David On Steyn is at the all england club. It seems all we have spoken about this because the achievements of british players, four through to the third round and all in action today. Day five of wimbledon, home names among the headline acts. Hard to believe until you see it in writing. More remarkable still is the sight of a briton is the sight of a briton other than andy murray among the favourites. That billing is bestowed upon Johanna Konta. In fact the favourite with bookmakers to win the womens title, although she prefers to focus on the collective achievement. Its a very, very positive thing. And again it is another great opportunity for us to promote our sport, on the womens side, yeah, at home, obviously, at the biggest event that is at home. I feel very fortunate to be a part of that movement. And it is a movement thats generating plenty of excitement and support. Around 40,000 people will be here today in the queue for centre court and court one, tickets for tomorrow is already full. It should make for an electric atmosphere as murray, konta, Heather Watson and aljaz bedene bid for a place in round four. If you head towards the middle weekend, you feel you are really involved in the tournament and really in it. Being a brit you either feel that way to the expectation and pressure but you also feel that you have enormous support as well so you want to give them what they are cheering for. Aljaz bedene was the first under way against 6illes Muller of luxembourg. He stands a good chance of winning, each of the brits do, no wonder the fans are happy. They will be even happier if that quartet make it into the last 16, that has not happened since 1975. A quick score update, aljaz bedene is down one set, lost a narrow tie break in the first set but it is going with served in the second.

New england Captainjoe Root missed out on a double century this morning, on the second day of the first test against south africa at lords. He went early for 190. Stuart broad then made an entertaining fifty before england were all out for 458. At lunch south africa were 10 0. Our correspondent olly foster reports. You can read all about it or, even better, watch tomorrows headlines unfold today with the hope that it will be more of the same. I hope we can get to at least 200 something. He got 100 yesterday so he needs to get another 100 today. Certainly want root to get his double century, really excited, cant wait. Come on, joe a fist bump for his partner moeen ali, and joe root looked like he was straight back in the groove. That was his 27th Boundary of a remarkable innings, but ten runs shy of a double ton, it came to a close. He nicked morne morkel and Quinton De Kock caught the captain. The luck he had yesterday finally ran out, but his first knock as skipper was considerably better than liam dawsons first taste of a test on home soil. Morkel trapped him two balls laterfor a duck. The next two innings also fell in the same over, Kagisa Rabada getting his reward. Moeen alis hopes of a century went the same way as his bails. South african tails were up, but englands tail was enjoying itself. Stuart broad with back to back sixes on the way to his 50, his first in four years. And Jimmy Anderson also threw caution to the wind. Its always good to impress the new man in charge. So south africa will resume on 10 0. Joe root, though, is under so much scrutiny. In many ways hes done the easy bit, keeping his own game together with that magnificent score, in the next couple of sessions, his tactics come in the field, choosing which bowlers to use will be when he earns his crust and when we will get the proper plumes of what kind of a captain he really kate. Thank you. Rugby now, and its being billed as bigger than a world cup final. Tomorrow morning the British And Irish Lions take on the mighty all blacks in the deciding game at eden park in auckland, where the hosts havent been beaten for 23 years. The lions made a dramatic comeback in last weeks test to level the series. Our correspondent Katie 6ornall is there and has sent this report. Three, two, one, go. To win a series in new zealand you need to be bold, you need to be brave, and you need to step out of your comfort zone. A lions victory this weekend . Yeah, absolutely, if i can do that they can win it last week in wellington the British And Irish Lions came from behind to win the second test and level the series, its the first time new zealand have been beaten at home in eight years. And yet the man at the centre of their triumph told me theres more to come from his team. What is it, do you think, about this group, that has led them to defy expectations in this way . Belief. People might not see it from the outside because they dont see whats going on within our camp but anyone who is involved with us would have thought the same. We always thought we had a great squad which could potentially take us to a series win. Their reward for the victory last week was a trip to the south island and a few days off in oueenstown, a chance for them to unwind and enjoy the activities on offer. The coaches took the same approach on the past two tours of south africa and australia. Both times they went on to win the third test. Eden park is where teams usually come to lose but the lions Win Wellington last week has changed the complexion of this third and final test. Arguably it is the all blacks under more pressure. But this time a blacklash awaits the lions on what will be all blacks captain kieran reads 100th test. You see these tours and as a professional rugby player to be involved its been fantastic. The amount of support thats been around from, you know, the home unions coming over, has been awesome for new zealand to see. Saturday will be a chance for Sam Warburton to take care of unfinished business. Four years ago he lifted the trophy in australia as captain but was injured for the lionss Series Clinching Win in the third test. I set my sights on this tour and i wanted to be in a test team and play in the last game. It feels like all those years of sacrifice and all the Little Things ive done have all come to this moment, really. New zealands americas cup win means theres already a Party Atmosphere here but could the lions be about to make history and Paint The Town Red . Katie 6ornall, bbc news, auckland. 6ood good luck all
