BBC World Service - BBC OS, G7 summit in Italy

We have the latest from the G7 meeting in Italy

We have the latest from the G7 meeting in Italy.

A senior US official says G7 leaders gathered in Italy have reached agreement on a plan to use the interest from frozen Russian assets to fund the defence of Ukraine. We also get the latest on what the leaders could do about the wars in Gaza and Ukraine. 

A 60-second Coca-Cola advertisement in Bangladesh has caused a storm of criticism for the beverage giant over its attempt to distance itself from Israel amid the war in Gaza. Akbar Hossain, a senior reporter for BBC Bangla has the latest.

The European election results this week showed a swing to the right and a distinct loss of the green party candidates, along with an emphasis on green policies. India has conducted the largest democratic election in world history while suffering from an intense and prolonged heat wave that has brought a significant part of the country to a standstill. We hear from BBC climate editor Justin Rowlatt along with our colleague from BBC Marathi -- one of our Indian Language Services,  Janhavee Moole in Mumbai, on what this might mean.

The number of people forced to leave their homes because of violence or persecution has risen for the twelfth year in a row, to reach a record one hundred and twenty million, according to research by the UN refugee agency. We shine a light on what it is like for displaced people in the Democratic of Congo with the BBC's Emery Makumeno in the capital Kinshasa.

Presenter: James Reynolds.
