Summary
World leaders meeting in Bavaria promise to support Ukraine for “as long as it takes”. Adam chats to Chris, who's interviewed the PM there, and Vicki, back in Westminster, about what’s been discussed so far.
Meanwhile, there has been a deadly airstrike on a crowded shopping centre in the city of Kremenchuk. Ukrainecast’s Vitaly Shevchenko has an update on the situation on the ground.
And it may have been the biggest music weekend of the year, but Adam didn’t manage to watch any of Glastonbury... so Radio 1’s Jack Saunders gives him some tips for what to catch up on.
Today’s Newscast was made by Daniel Wittenberg with Chris Flynn and Cordelia Hemming. The technical producer was Frank McWeeny. The assistant editor was Alison Gee.
