The 8 things you might have missed this weekend
Boris Johnson has broken his silence since resigning as foreign secretary, Theresa May is facing a gruelling week battling her own MPs, and Donald Trump has left Britain for his summit with Vladimir Putin.
Meanwhile, France has been crowned World Cup champions and Novak Djokovic won Wimbledon.
If you've been away from a screen or newspaper all weekend or want a summary, here's a quick recap of the main events.
1. Boris Johnson in rallying cry after Brexit
Britain must believe in itself after Brexit, Boris Johnson says in a call to arms for a more positive vision of leaving the European Union.
In an article for Monday’s Telegraph – his first public comments since resigning as foreign secretary – Mr Johnson attacks the “lack of self-confidence, in the current debate on the EU, about whether we can do things for ourselves”.
He adds that Britons should use the 2016 referendum result to “rediscover the spirit of dynamism” of the Victorian age and “go back out into the world in a way that we had perhaps forgotten”. Britain should “militate ceaselessly for free trade deals” after Brexit, he writes in his column – his first since rejoining The Telegraph after two years in office.
Mr Johnson resigned a week ago along with David Davis, then Brexit secretary, in protest at the Prime Minister’s plans for Brexit which have sparked outrage among eurosceptic MPs who fear they will tie Britain to Brussels rules and dictats indefinitely.
2. Greening kicks off tough week for May
Justine Greening became the first senior Conservative to back calls for a second Brexit referendum on Sunday night, as Theresa May faced a battle with her own MPs and grass roots Tories over her Chequers proposal.
The former education secretary, who campaigned to remain in the European Union, told The Times that Theresa May's Brexit deal is "the worst of both worlds" and will ultimately satisfy no one.
She said: "The only solution is to take the final Brexit decision out of the hands of the deadlocked politicians."
Mrs May was already facing opposition from grass roots Tories over the proposals on Sunday, as she revealed that Donald Trump told her to sue the EU to get the best Brexit deal.
The Prime Minister disclosed the President's “brutal” advice about negotiating a Brexit deal, given during her visit to the White House in January last year, in a BBC interview.
3. Trump lists EU as a foe ahead of Putin summit
Donald Trump on Sunday described the European Union as top of his list of global foes while downplaying expectations of his summit with Vladimir Putin, which takes place in Helsinki on Monday.
During an interview with US TV network NBC, filmed at his Turnberry golf course in Scotland at the end of his UK visit, the US leader was asked to identify his "biggest competitor, his biggest foe".
To the surprise of many, he listed the EU ahead of both Russia and China.
Mr Trump said: "Well, I think we have a lot of foes. I think the European Union is a foe, what they do to us on trade. Now, you wouldn't think of the European Union but they're a foe.
"I respect the leaders of those countries but in a trade sense, they've really taken advantage of us. And many of those countries are in NATO and they weren't paying their bills."
His comments came hours before he was due to leave the UK for Helsinki for his one-to-one with Mr Putin. Mr Trump said Russia was also a foe "in many respects" and also called China an "economic foe".
Donald Tusk, the president of the European Council, responded on Twitter: "America and the EU are best friends. Whoever says we are foes is spreading fake news."
4. Minister quits over sex texts to barmaids
Theresa May's former chief of staff has resigned after a Sunday newspaper revealed he sent sex texts to two barmaids.
Andrew Griffiths, a minister in the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, is alleged to have sent up to 2,000 lewd social media messages to the women, the Sunday Mirror reported.
The newspaper reported Griffiths, 47, sent Imogen Treharne, who was pictured on Sunday's front page, and her friend demands for explicit videos and photographs.
The married Conservative MP for Burton, who became a father for the first time in April, released a statement to the Sunday Mirror on Friday night in which he confirmed he had stepped down from his ministerial duties.
5. Prince Louis's christening marked by family portraits
Prince Louis is pictured in the arms of his mother and surrounded by his immediate family in touching photographs released to mark his christening.
Four official images were taken by British photographer Matt Holyoak at Clarence House after Louis was baptised in The Chapel Royal at St James's Palace last Monday.
The photographs have been released by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to mark the milestone.
In a royal family photo, the Cambridge five sit in the morning room at Clarence House, with Louis in Kate's arms, Princess Charlotte gazing across at her baby brother and Prince George sitting on William's lap with a wide smile on his face.
Standing behind them are the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall, along with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex - with Meghan linking her hand through Harry's arm.
In a big family photo, Kate and William are joined by their children, along with Harry and Meghan, Charles and Camilla, and the Middleton family including Kate's sister Pippa Matthews and her husband James.

6. France win World Cup for second time
France won the World Cup for the second time in spectacular style on Sunday as a 4-2 victory over Croatia in one of the most entertaining and action-packed finals for decades ended the battling outsiders' dreams of a first title.
After an early own goal by Mario Mandzukic France's big guns delivered on the biggest stage of all as Antoine Griezmann - with a penalty awarded after a VAR review - Paul Pogba and teenage tyro Kylian Mbappe hit the target.
Ivan Perisic and Mandzukic replied for Croatia, who ended beaten but unbowed after making much of the running in their first appearance in the final.
It was the highest-scoring decider since England beat West Germany 4-2 after extra-time in 1966 and the most goals in normal time since Brazil defeated Sweden 5-2 60 years ago.
There were as many goals in 90 action-packed Moscow minutes as in the last four finals combined, and three of those went to extra time.

7. Djokovic and Kerber claim Wimbledon titles
Novak Djokovic proved conclusively he remains one of the biggest beasts in men's tennis by outplaying South African giant Kevin Anderson to claim a fourth Wimbledon title on Sunday.
The 31-year-old put two years of turmoil behind him to beat a battle-weary Anderson 6-2 6-2 7-6(3) on a sweltering Centre Court and add a 13th Grand Slam trophy to his bulging cabinet.
It was clear what it meant to the Serb as he ended a two-year Grand Slam title drought by getting his hands back on the trophy he also raised in 2011, 2014 and 2015. "It's my first Grand Slam final in a couple of years and this is the best place to come back. It's very, very special."
A day earlier, Serena Williams hopes of completing a remarkable comeback and claiming a record-matching 24th Grand Slam title were dashed when Angelique Kerber ripped up the script to outclass her 6-3 6-3.
Ten months after the difficult birth of daughter Alexis Olympia the 36-year-old Williams had powered into her 10th Wimbledon final and looked poised for an eighth crown.
But even for the most prolific title collector in the professional era it proved a step too far as Kerber took full advantage of an error-strewn display by the American.
Kerber broke the mighty Williams serve three times in the opening set and again in the sixth game of the second and held her nerve to become the first German woman to win the title since Steffi Graf in 1996.

8. Froome survives Tour de France crash
Britain’s trio of contenders for the 105th Tour de France all declared themselves relieved to have survived a crash-ridden day on the cobbles of northern France, adding they were now looking forward to getting up into the mountains.
Team Sky’s twin-pronged attack of Geraint Thomas and Chris Froome, and Mitchelton-Scott’s Adam Yates, all managed to finish safely in the main group of general classification contenders, half a minute or so behind the stage nine winner John Degenkolb [Trek-Segafredo].
But it could easily been very different. Froome survived a crash with 45km remaining of the 156.5km stage, just as the riders entered one of the sectors of pavé at Mons-en-Pévèle.
