Donald Trump claims victories on trade and climate change,

:00:00.:00:00.

But while world leaders accept America's commitment

:00:07.:00:13.

to coal and some tariffs, they keep their own pledges

:00:14.:00:16.

Mr Trump also offers Theresa May what he says

:00:17.:00:25.

will be a very good trade deal, after Brexit.

:00:26.:00:29.

So who've been the winners and losers at the G20 summit?

:00:30.:00:31.

Iraqi forces claim what they say is a decisive victory over

:00:32.:00:37.

so called Islamic State, in Mosul.

:00:38.:00:42.

The London Fire Brigade changes policy on deploying high ladders,

:00:43.:00:45.

after it took half an hour to send one to the Grenfell

:00:46.:00:48.

And the Lions with the All Blacks share the spoils, as they draw

:00:49.:00:55.

The G20 summit has drawn to a close in Germany,

:00:56.:01:19.

with Donald Trump claiming victories on trade and climate change.

:01:20.:01:25.

In a joint statement the other 19 world leaders,

:01:26.:01:28.

did acknowledge America's isolated commitment to coal,

:01:29.:01:30.

But, they all renewed their pledges to the Paris

:01:31.:01:35.

climate change agreement, and to promoting free trade.

:01:36.:01:37.

Our Diplomatic Correspondent, James Robbins reports from Hamburg.

:01:38.:01:43.

The first G20 Summit for Donald Trump was never

:01:44.:01:46.

going to be easy for the leaders of the world's other

:01:47.:01:49.

Dealing with an American president who is deeply sceptical

:01:50.:01:52.

of the international system based on shared rules.

:01:53.:01:57.

America first means he prefers individual deal making.

:01:58.:01:59.

In the chair, Germany's Chancellor, Angela Merkel, found him

:02:00.:02:05.

She accused the United States of making talks on trade

:02:06.:02:10.

Today she deplored once again Trump's decision to withdraw America

:02:11.:02:16.

She blamed him for holding out to the bitter end against this

:02:17.:02:26.

summit's conclusions on global warming.

:02:27.:02:27.

TRANSLATION: I think it's very clear that unfortunately

:02:28.:02:29.

But the differences were not papered over.

:02:30.:02:37.

President Trump, apparently to protect America's

:02:38.:02:43.

capacity to pollute, insisted today on the inclusion

:02:44.:02:45.

of separate US-only paragraphs in the summit conclusions,

:02:46.:02:47.

stressing his long-term commitment to fossil fuels.

:02:48.:02:51.

The president also raised eyebrows by asking his daughter to take his

:02:52.:02:54.

True, she's a White House advisor, but a senior Russian

:02:55.:03:01.

official tweeted out this picture, later removed.

:03:02.:03:05.

The show stopper of this summit, of course, was yesterday's first

:03:06.:03:08.

face-to-face encounter between Donald Trump

:03:09.:03:09.

Whatever the eventual outcome of the talks,

:03:10.:03:14.

today the Russian leader used his press conference to offer

:03:15.:03:16.

TRANSLATION: Trump on television is very different than in real life.

:03:17.:03:26.

I think if we can continue to build our relations,

:03:27.:03:33.

there's every reason to think we can restore at least, in part,

:03:34.:03:36.

But Donald Trump himself passed up the chance to brief the press

:03:37.:03:42.

The stars and stripes eventually removed.

:03:43.:03:53.

This summit did survive all the efforts of violent

:03:54.:03:55.

More than 200 German police have been injured over the past

:03:56.:03:59.

This has been a fractious time, both on the streets and in the heavily

:04:00.:04:06.

President Trump met with Theresa May at the summit, and said he expects

:04:07.:04:17.

"a very powerful" trade deal with the UK, to be

:04:18.:04:19.

He added that his planned visit here would go ahead,

:04:20.:04:22.

This report by our Deputy political editor, John Pienaar,

:04:23.:04:26.

Theresa May sees this relationship as key to a successful Brexit.

:04:27.:04:36.

She was counting on warm words, encouragement.

:04:37.:04:38.

Today on trade, the president offered plenty of both.

:04:39.:04:43.

We are working on a trade deal, it's a

:04:44.:04:45.

very big deal, a very powerful deal for both countries.

:04:46.:04:49.

And, I think we will get it done very, very quickly.

:04:50.:04:52.

Mrs May wants him to drop his opposition to

:04:53.:04:56.

the climate change treaty, but trade is a priority.

:04:57.:05:02.

The charm offensive will go on, and soon he will be in

:05:03.:05:05.

Not everyone will be as happy as Mrs May to see him.

:05:06.:05:12.

Worth cultivating the US friendship with the president, his family, his

:05:13.:05:15.

advisers, although his daughter, Ivanka, is both.

:05:16.:05:18.

Meeting the Japanese leader was important, too.

:05:19.:05:21.

Shinzo Abe has just done a trade deal with the EU.

:05:22.:05:24.

Britain wants one just as favourable.

:05:25.:05:29.

Warm words about trade and cooperation can be

:05:30.:05:31.

comforting, even politically useful at a summit like

:05:32.:05:34.

this, but striking deals with America,

:05:35.:05:36.

India, with anyone, will

:05:37.:05:37.

And plenty of British businessmen, government

:05:38.:05:42.

officials, and even Theresa May's own Chancellor remain to be

:05:43.:05:45.

convinced that agreements around the world could

:05:46.:05:47.

tough or even harsh deal with the EU.

:05:48.:05:54.

The Prime Minister insists that it can be

:05:55.:05:56.

Mrs May is widely seen as being weakened by the June election,

:05:57.:06:00.

but today she insisted that she would be bold.

:06:01.:06:02.

I've held a number of meetings with other world leaders at

:06:03.:06:04.

this summit and have been struck by their strong desire to forge

:06:05.:06:07.

ambitious, new, bilateral trading relationships with the UK after

:06:08.:06:10.

Prime Minister, do you accept that if EU leaders insist on

:06:11.:06:16.

tougher trade terms after Brexit than those

:06:17.:06:18.

risk the UK could end up worse off, whatever

:06:19.:06:23.

deals you may strike with

:06:24.:06:24.

What we are doing, John, is working to negotiate a good,

:06:25.:06:31.

comprehensive free trade agreement with the

:06:32.:06:32.

And I think it is in the interest of both sides to have

But I am also optimistic about the opportunities that we will see

Her ambitions will be tested hard, along

:06:43.:06:47.

with her own hopes of carrying on much longer as Prime Minister.

John Pienaar, BBC News, at the G20 in

:06:51.:06:52.

Well let's speak to James Robbins in Hamburg.

:06:53.:06:59.

James, it's been Donald Trump's first G20 summit -

:07:00.:07:03.

Well, the fact is, he stimulated in all the other leaders a profound

:07:04.:07:17.

sense of political and cultural shock. They are not used to dealing

:07:18.:07:21.

with an American president who thinks and acts like he does. I

:07:22.:07:26.

think most strongly perhaps Chancellor Angela Merkel in the

:07:27.:07:30.

chair is almost the polar political opposite in her attitude towards

:07:31.:07:32.

these international occasions and she made that pretty clear. She

:07:33.:07:36.

blamed the US for being the blocker on much of the discussion of trade,

:07:37.:07:42.

and protectionism. As we heard, she actively deplored their position on

:07:43.:07:53.

climate change. Others are less openly hostile, but they are simply

:07:54.:07:55.

not used to this style, this rhetorical style, and the

:07:56.:07:57.

forcefulness of the American president who does not necessarily

:07:58.:08:00.

want to lead the West in the way that they expect. It doesn't so much

along the way, but today the Iraqi security forces

were firing their weapons in celebration, claiming

victory over their enemy. TRANSLATION: This joy has been

determined to leave with more than just memories. Within six weeks the

:14:48.:14:51.

British and Irish Lions transformed from no hopers into a genuine

threat. The New Zealand Fortress invaded by a red Army. It set the

tone for a breathless first half, the pace is not always matched with

:15:00.:15:02.

precision. That would come from Beauden Barrett, of New Zealand. He

picked out his brother to set up the opening score. The try was finished

improbable draw. The New Zealanders have waited for 12 years for the

return of the Lions and this is a fitting finale. While the tourists
