Marco Rubio. I caught up with Tom Bateman as he travelled back from Canada as part of the press contingent and asked him how close are we to an agreement?

Well, there was some suggestion that those differences of opinion between the Europeans and the Americans might surface at that G7 meeting of foreign ministers. But what do you make of the statement that came out, including the threat of possible further costs on Russia, as it put it?

Tom Bateman travelling with the US Secretary of State. Well, even as the G7 foreign ministers began heading home from Canada, Mark Carney was being sworn in as the new Prime Minister there, replacing Justin Trudeau.

The new Canadian Prime Minister, Mark Carney. The former president of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte, has appeared via video link at The Hague, the first ex-Asian head of state to go before the International Criminal Court.

But Mr Duterte's supporters were also there calling for him to be sent home, while his lawyer claimed he'd been abducted from the Philippines. Our correspondent Anna Holligan spoke to us from the court.

Now, he is the first former Asian head of state to face charges at the ICC. What is the significance of his appearance or non-appearance in the court for the court itself?

Anna Holligan in The Hague. Hamas says it will release the last living Israeli-American hostage it's holding in Gaza, along with the bodies of four other dual nationals captured during the massacre of October 7th, but there are reported to be conditions.
