News Daily: Trump meets Putin, and May on terror
Hello. Here's your morning briefing:
How will they get on? Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin will have their first face-to-face meeting later at the G20 summit in Hamburg, Germany. The US and Russian presidents say they want to repair relations damaged by disagreements over Syria and Ukraine, not to mention ongoing allegations that Russia meddled in last year's US presidential election.
Their meeting is expected to last between 30 minutes and an hour. Mr Trump has urged Mr Putin to stop supporting for "hostile regimes", such as those in Syria and Iran. Russia has rejected the comments.
Meanwhile, there have already been large-scale protests in Hamburg, with more expected.
Analysis: How do Trump and Putin compare?
First meetings between major world leaders can be unpredictable affairs. Mr Trump has in the past suggested he could get along with Mr Putin and praised him as a "strong leader" but it is unclear how he feels now.
May urges co-operation on terror
Trump-Putin isn't the only thing going on at the G20. UK Prime Minister Theresa May will use the event to warn of an "evolving" terrorist threat. She will say so-called Islamic State and other groups are exploiting loopholes in financial systems and that these must be closed. Mrs May will also urge G20 countries to become better at sharing intelligence.

Mental health care under strain, NHS trusts warn
Seven in 10 leaders of mental health services in England expect demand to increase this year, a survey suggests.

What the papers say
The Daily Mail leads with a story that plans for a statue of former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher outside the Palace of Westminster have been shelved because of fears it could be vandalised.
