Various G7 leaders joined U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson in mocking Russian President Vladimir Putin ahead of a meeting on Sunday.
Johnson made the quip while gathered around a table with U.S. President Joe Biden, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, and others. The leaders are meeting for the G7 summit in Bavaria throughout this week.
“Jackets on? Jackets off? Shall we take our clothes off?” Johnson said, referencing the reportedly intense temperature of the room.
Trudeau suggested they keep the jackets on long enough to take pictures.

BIDEN SAYS G-7 WILL BAN RUSSIAN GOLD IMPORTS OVER WAR IN UKRAINE
“We have to show that we’re tougher than Putin,” Johnson quipped.
“We’re going to get the bare-chested horseback riding display,” Trudeau added.
Johnson ribbed, “We’ve got to show them our pecs,” while Von der Leyen interjected, “Horseback riding is the best.”
Biden did not weigh in on the jokes.

In public photos, Putin has long sought to portray himself as a skilled athlete and outdoorsman.
The exchange came hours after the Biden administration accused Russia of using torture and electrocution in its invasion of Ukraine on Sunday. Biden has repeatedly called for Putin to face a war crimes trial.
A White House statement marked the International Day in Support of Victims of Torture.
“Any instance of torture is one too many, and yet every year countless victims suffer this brutal violation of their human rights and dignity,” Biden wrote. “This year we have been shocked by the horrific acts committed by Russian forces in Ukraine, including multiple, credible reports of torture such as beatings, electric shocks, and mock executions.”

“In Mali and Burkina Faso, terrorist groups have been documented to have massacred and tortured local populations, while in Mali and Central African Republic, Kremlin-aligned Wagner mercenaries have reportedly employed similar cruel and unlawful tactics,” he added.
Ukrainian authorities are prosecuting roughly 16,000 cases of alleged war crimes by Russian forces.

G7 leaders meeting in Germany discuss plans to reduce Russian revenues from oil exports amid a surge in energy prices.
Leaders of Group of Seven (G7) nations have discussed plans to cap the price of Russian oil in order to put the squeeze on Moscow, which is benefiting from soaring energy prices, and cut off its means of financing the invasion of Ukraine.
The United States has suggested a price cap decided by consuming countries, a proposal that was discussed on Sunday by the G7 leaders at a summit in the Bavarian Alps.
Western countries rallied around Kyiv when Russia invaded Ukraine in February, but more than four months into the war, that unity is being tested as soaring inflation and energy shortages rebound on their own citizens.
Chided by Ukraine for not going far enough to punish Russia, G7 leaders were having “really constructive” talks on a possible price cap on Russian oil, a German government source was quoted as saying by the Reuters news agency.
“We are on a good path to reach an agreement,” the official said.
A French presidency official said Paris would push for a price cap on oil and gas and was open to discussing the US proposal.
However, he said the G7 needed to work towards getting a maximum oil price and this needed the buy-in of oil producers in the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies in a group called OPEC+, which includes Russia.
“We need to have discussions with OPEC+ and producing countries to achieve this,” the official said.
The European Union, which plans to ban imports of most Russian oil from the end of the year, has reservations about a US push for a broad oil price cap or “price exception” to restrict Moscow’s energy revenue.
A price exception could work through a mechanism to restrict or ban insurance or financing for Russian oil shipments above a certain amount.
It could prevent spillover effects to low-income countries that are struggling with high food and energy costs.
European Council President Charles Michel also said G7 leaders would discuss a technical mechanism that had the effect of an oil price cap through services related to oil and export insurance.
But Michel said the issue would need to be handled carefully or risk backfiring.
“We are ready to take a decision together with our partners, but we want to make sure that what we decide will have a negative effect [on Russia] and not a negative effect for ourselves.”
At the start of a bilateral meeting, US President Joe Biden thanked German Chancellor Olaf Scholz for showing leadership on Ukraine and said Russian President Vladimir Putin had failed to break their unity.
Scholz has faced criticism at home and abroad for his handling of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“We can get through all of this and come out stronger,” Biden said.
“Because Putin has been counting on it from the beginning that somehow NATO and the G7 would splinter. But we haven’t and we’re not going to.”
At the start of the meeting, four members of the G7 announced plans to ban imports of Russian gold as part of efforts to tighten the sanctions squeeze on Moscow.
The US, United Kingdom, Canada and Japan will ban Russian gold imports. France also supported the move.
The UK said the ban was aimed at wealthy Russians who have been buying safe-haven bullion to reduce the financial impact of Western sanctions. Russian gold exports were worth $15.45bn last year.
“The measures we have announced today will directly hit Russian oligarchs and strike at the heart of Putin’s war machine,” UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson said in a statement.
“We need to starve the Putin regime of its funding. The UK and our allies are doing just that.”

A major update on Manchester United’s pursuit of Barcelona star Frenkie de Jong has, on Sunday, been confirmed.
The name of Dutch maestro de Jong, of course, has taken its place front and centre in the headlines across the European media across the summer to date.
This comes with the 25-year-old having emerged as the priority target of Premier League heavyweights Manchester United with a view to the 2022/23 campaign.
Any such move would see de Jong reunited with the man who oversaw the finest form of his career to date, in the form of new Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag.

And, as alluded to above, on the back of weeks of back and forth, will they, won’t they negotiations, it appears as though, at long last, Man United are closing on the club’s first signing of the summer.
This comes on the back of confirmation courtesy of the Daily Telegraph that the transfer team at Old Trafford have made a ‘breakthrough’ in talks with their counterparts at the Camp Nou.
A definitive agreement, in turn, is understood to be close to completion, in a transfer expected to be worth a fee in excess of £69 million.
In fact, the Red Devils are hopeful of sealing de Jong’s signing by the end of the coming week, a scenario which would allow for the 25-year-old to link up with his new teammates in Manchester upon pre-season kicking into full swing.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper has a broken left thumb after being hit by a 97 mph fastball from Blake Snell in the fourth inning Saturday night against the San Diego Padres.
The Phillies announced that the reigning National League MVP will be out indefinitely. He will undergo further evaluation in the next few days.
“I’ve never had a hand injury like this,” said Harper, who was wearing a splint on the injured thumb. “Never broken anything in my life. This is new to me, so I’m just gonna go day by day, see kind of where we’re at and see the specialist in Philly. And if I do need to see another specialist somewhere, then I will.”
Harper checked his swing as the pitch from Snell rode inside and high before hitting him on the outside of the left hand. Harper immediately fell to the ground and was in visible pain as he held the hand while on his knees for several minutes with Phillies head trainer Paul Buchheit attending to him.
“I kind of wish it would’ve hit me in the face. I don’t break bones in my face,” Harper said with a laugh. “I can take 98 to the face, but I can’t take 97 to the thumb. Yeah, I was kind of in protection mode a little bit trying to get my hand up there and not let it hit me again.
“It’s just a bummer. I am really bummed out.”
Harper missed only a few games last year when he was hit in the face by a fastball from St. Louis‘ Genesis Cabrera.
Phillies general manager Dave Dombrowski, who traveled with the team on the road trip, said it was too early to determine if surgery will be needed. He added that he wasn’t sure what type of fracture Harper had or where on his left thumb the injury occurred.
“We will put him on the injured list [Sunday],” Dombrowski said. “I was concerned at first he got hit in the face. I was concerned right off the bat because he is a tough guy and he walked off the field immediately.”
As Harper was halfway to Philadelphia’s dugout, he angrily yelled at Snell and motioned with a hand at the Padres’ starting pitcher. Snell eventually shouted back at Harper. Many fans at Petco Park fans started to boo after several seconds of Harper shouting at Snell.
Harper then appeared to cool down and say, “I know, I know,” to Snell, acknowledging that the pitcher didn’t mean to hit him with the pitch.
“It wasn’t heated at all,” Harper said. “It was just the moment and a crappy situation. I’ve been playing against Blake since we were 10, 11 years old, so I know there was no ill will behind that at all. The inside pitch is part of the game. He is a great player and a great human being as well. I wish him the best, and I told him to keep throwing that inside fastball because it sets that slider really good.”
Snell texted Harper and said the two are on good terms.
“Obviously, I felt terrible hitting him,” Snell said. “I don’t do that, and he knows that. We’ve talked. We’ve handled it. He plays with a lot of passion, and I can understand why he’d be upset. I’m just as upset as he is. … I just hope he recovers quickly and gets back out there and continues to compete.”
Snell added that he and Harper were going to see each other after Saturday’s game or on Sunday.
Harper, serving as the Phillies’ designated hitter, was replaced by Johan Camargo in Philadelphia’s 4-2 win.
“He is a guy who really isn’t replaceable on an individual basis, but we are going to have to be in a position that other people are going to have to step up,” Dombrowski said. “We will make a move to try and get someone here [Sunday].”
Harper is hitting .318 with 15 home runs, 48 RBIs and a .985 OPS this season in 64 games despite a small tear in the UCL of his right elbow that has prevented him from playing the outfield since April 16. He has tried to avoid season-ending Tommy John surgery with a platelet-rich plasma injection and rest.
“I don’t know how long he is going to be out at this point,” Dombrowski said. “I am hopeful he will be back at some point. We still have a lot of good hitters in the lineup. … The Braves won the World Series last year without [Ronald] Acuna.”

11:29 AM ET TAMPA, Fla. — Tampa Bay Lightning coach Jon Cooper said he expects to go with the same lineup in Game 6 that he used in Game 5, meaning center Brayden Point will miss his fourth straight game of the Stanley Cup Final. […]
SportsTAMPA, Fla. — Tampa Bay Lightning coach Jon Cooper said he expects to go with the same lineup in Game 6 that he used in Game 5, meaning center Brayden Point will miss his fourth straight game of the Stanley Cup Final.
Point skated with the team again ahead of Sunday night’s Game 6 in Tampa, with the Colorado Avalanche leading the series 3-2.
“It’s extremely difficult for everyone involved because everyone cares so much. But there’s no animosity or anything like that. They’re just difficult conversations because everybody wants the same thing,” Cooper said.
Point missed the Lightning’s second- and third-round series victories with a lower-body injury he suffered in Game 7 against the Toronto Maple Leafs on May 14. He returned in the Stanley Cup Final, playing the first two games in Denver. He picked up an assist in their Game 1 loss but clearly didn’t have the same explosive skating that has defined him with the Lightning. The team scratched him for the past three games, replacing him in the lineup with Riley Nash.
Cooper said it has been difficult for Point, who has the will to play but remains hindered by the injury.
“It’s tricky because players are used to playing at a certain way. If they don’t feel confident in playing at the caliber they’re used to, it almost works against them,” Cooper said. “So it’s unfortunate because it’s a severe injury, and at this time of the year, everybody’s trying to get back into the lineup and just there are some things you can’t do. When you can’t do what you’re used to doing, it’s tough on a player.”
The Lightning coach did leave open the possibility that Point, who has more goals (30) than any other player over the past three postseasons, could return to the lineup for a potential Game 7 in Denver on Tuesday.
“He’s still plugging along here and rehabbing and trying to get better. Who knows? If the series goes one more game, you never know. It’s tough on these guys because they’re such competitors,” Cooper said.
The Avalanche are monitoring injuries as well, with coach Jared Bednar leaving the door open for forwards Andre Burakovsky and Valeri Nichushkin to play in Sunday’s potential Cup clincher.
Bednar said “we’ll see” about Burakovsky returning to the series for the first time since leaving Game 2 with an injury. The coach was more positive about Nichushkin, who left Game 5 with a right leg injury, saying the team is “hoping he’s going to be in.”
