Morning mail: G7 talks to begin, Melbourne lockdown lifts, Brisbane Olympic bid

Friday: G7 meeting in the UK gets underway. Plus: Brisbane a step closer to securing the 2032 Olympic Games

Good morning - especially to Melbourne readers ready to venture out after the city's two-week lockdown. Making headlines this morning: world leaders are arriving in Cornwall ahead of the G7 Summit which starts on Friday, Brisbane is a step closer to securing the 2032 Olympics and Australia and Singapore have agreed on travel bubble arrangements to allow international students to return to universities.

Melbourne's lockdown will end today, but residents will still need to mask-up outdoors as the state recorded another four new locally acquired cases of Covid. The Victorian testing commander, Jeroen Weimar, listed a series of new exposure sites, mostly around the Melbourne suburb of Reservoir, and urged locals there to come forward for testing. Queensland also recorded another case, but state authorities said the risk of an outbreak was low.
