it'sjust so hard for me to imagine a 4.5 years down the line from now, particularly at a time that's so combatative, that requires welcome to the programme. the us president is due to face the cameras and the questions in just a couple of hours. many will be watching and judging. we'll look ahead to that. at the nato summit itself, president zelensky is centre stage, and a commitment that f—16 fighter jets will be flying in ukraine this summer. our political editor chris mason sits down with prime minister keir starmer. we'll pick through that. and artificial intelligence at wimbledon — we'll explain all in our regular sgement ai decoded. we start in washington and that nato

summit. expecting to hearfrom us presidentjoe biden in a few hours from now. a press conference where he will face questions from the us and world press. it is being seen as a test for him and his performance given what happened in that presidential debate of course a couple of weeks ago. a busy day in the summit. ukraine still very much the focus of discussions. the us president met with ukrainian president volodymr zelensky. nato leaders also gathered for the nato ukraine council. they reaffirmed their support in its war against russia. we'll have more on the specifics of that in a few minutes, but all eyes really onjoe biden. growing calls for the us president to step aside from the presidential campaign. overnight, we saw the first democratic sentor break ranks, peter welch from vermont. he wrote in the wall streetjournal the president should withdraw "for the good of the country".

and just as we came on air, more bad news for us presidentjoe biden. the us democratic representative brad schneider announcing on thursday thatjoe biden should in his reelection, saying the crime had for president biden to heroically pass the torch to a generation of leaders, to guide us to the future. he has enabled and empowered us to pursue. thatjust in the last few minutes. but the us president is finding support among world leaders. uk prime minister sir keir starmer met withjoe biden on the sidelines of the summit. let's ta ke let's take a listen. we went through a huge number of issues at pace. he was actually on really good form, and there were a number of... mentally agile? absolutely across all the detail. we were going at pace through a number of issues, which was really important to me because obviously it was my first opportunity to have a bilateral like that. and he showed incredible leadership. it's a sentiment echoed

by the finnish president. take a listen. i have absolutely no concerns about the capacity of the current president of the united states to lead his country and to lead our fight for ukraine and to lead nato. and i think this summit speaks tonnes and volumes for that. outside of politics, more big names ar calling for a change of candidate. earlier this week, we heard from actor george clooney. today, another hollywood star, michael douglas, has voiced his concerns in an interview with the bbc�*s tom brook. it's a painful, painful- decision because i admire the man tremendously. i personally had a fundraiseri for him at our house in april, and i think he's done an incredible job. - but i am worried, not. this week or next week, but let's say next year. and it'sjust so hard for mej to imagine a man 4.5 years down the line from now, particularly at a time - that's so combative, _ that requires somebody to really

be so articulate. our correspondent helena humphrey is following developments from the summit in washington. hyatt, helena. so just hyatt, helena. sojust lay out hyatt, helena. so just lay out for us if you will first before we get to the details of the summit onjoe biden. what is admitted to happen in a couple of hours?— a couple of hours? well, he has a hue a couple of hours? well, he has a huge challenge — a couple of hours? well, he has a huge challenge ahead _ a couple of hours? well, he has a huge challenge ahead of - a couple of hours? well, he has a huge challenge ahead of him. - a couple of hours? well, he has a huge challenge ahead of him. in i huge challenge ahead of him. in around three hours' time, he will take to the stage for a solo press conference. he has not had one of these kind of solo press conferences for around eight months amid some criticism that his staff have been essentially keeping him too far away from the press, from answering these kinds of unscripted questions. but we will have to face the press and the eyes of the world essentially watching him, judging him at a time when it's very difficult, i think it's fair to say, in politics,

communications, campaigns to try to put the genie back into the bottle some two weeks on from that criticism and by his own admission about that shaky performance on the debate stage against the former president donald trump. so thatjust shows you how high the stakes are. he really cannot afford to put a foot wrong, and in the words of senator welch of vermont, essentially the problem is you cannot get people to un—see what they saw. that's what he's saying and that's what other colours of democrats are saying as a b to peel away their support. hakeem jeffries, the house minority leaderfor away their support. hakeem jeffries, the house minority leader for the democrats, saying that on the hill those congressional conversations between democrats are continuing and they will continue until there is a consensus i think if you think kings perhaps to watch for, once this nato summit packs up and leaves, do we see a number of donors start to peel

away. because of course in american politics, presidential campaigns, they are big money affairs. perhaps will the campaign lose any money? that could also be a very, very serious hit to the campaign, and then on top of that, have there been any democrats who have just been kind of holding fire, holding criticism, kindness of the fact that the united states here in washington, we are on the world stage here. data is willing to project strength, so too is the united states. perhaps it would be seen as a done thing there in them to put out that criticism of president biden and a call for him to step out of the race. so of course friday will be a very key dame, as to will be monday when he is committed to have that sit down interview with nbc�*s lester holt. helena, thank you very much for that. let's get into what's going on and what potentially could happen then. let's speak to ameshia cross, democratic strategist and former

for the aid package, ukrainian president volodomyr zelensky outlined how they plan to use it. this will help us train our soldiers faster and more efficiently equipl our brigades and develop our defence forces more effectively. _ we have clear and financial commitments already - in our agreements — _ as secretary said, $40 billion — and it's crucial to - maintain such support. and all this will help curb putin's appetite for aggression. - we can speak to max bergmann, director of europe programme for the center for strategic and international studies. he's at the nato conference and has been following it closely. thank you for coming on the programme. thank you for coming on the programme-— thank you for coming on the programme. thank you for coming on the hroramme. . ., . thank you for coming on the -troramme. . ., . m programme. thanks for having me. so that list we just _ programme. thanks for having me. so that list we just heard _ programme. thanks for having me. so that list we just heard there, - programme. thanks for having me. so that list we just heard there, the -

that list we just heard there, the response from president zelensky. how happy do you think he will be? i how happy do you think he will be? i think ukraine is quite satisfied. look, at the summit last year, i think their expectations were raised about a potential invitation to join nato. i think the biden administration made very clear that you know this is not prepared to offer an invitation at the summit and made that very clear months ago and made that very clear months ago and really wanted to focus this more on the actual military support that both the us and european nato allies are providing. and they are providing f—16s and also air defence systems and then the six impurity compacts, these bilateral security agreement that have been reached with ukraine are very sniffing it. so i think ukraine comes out of this feeling that it has the backing of the nato alliance, at least for now. 0k, the nato alliance, at least for now. ok, so that's clearly a relatively positive framing. what about any potential splits within nato or disagreements within nato? weill.

potential splits within nato or disagreements within nato? well, of course ou disagreements within nato? well, of course you have _ disagreements within nato? well, of course you have the _ disagreements within nato? well, of course you have the hungarian - disagreements within nato? well, ofj course you have the hungarian prime minister viktor orban come he did go to ukraine but then moscow and beijing without any coordination with nato or european countries and we are seeing some blowback in europe. looks like he's on his way to mar—a—lago and did not even request a meeting with the president of united states to discuss what came out of his meeting and does not seem like anything came out of that meeting. of those divisions have been there since the beginning of this work and i think what nato has been mistreated as well as the eu is an ability to manage any discord within its ranks and really present a united front and ultimately in the communique, which was signed on by hungary and others, by all 42 members, i think importantly also calls out china in a rather sort of half breaking way. so i actually

think that there has been a good show of unity at what is the 75th birthday fernando. just show of unity at what is the 75th birthday fernando.— show of unity at what is the 75th birthday fernando. just on that last oint, i birthday fernando. just on that last point. i want _ birthday fernando. just on that last point. i want to _ birthday fernando. just on that last point, i want to zoom _ birthday fernando. just on that last point, i want to zoom right - birthday fernando. just on that last point, i want to zoom right now- birthday fernando. just on that last| point, i want to zoom right now and if we take a big old historical kind of look at this, 75 years, it's wrapping up now. what is its place in the world?— in the world? well, look, i think in this is from — in the world? well, look, i think in this is from an _ in the world? well, look, i think in this is from an american _ this is from an american perspective, it's not simply that the alliance still exist after 75 years. their organisations are still exist there not as manipulative been around for a long time, but what nato has facilitated its european integration, is the formation of the european union, is for the points of member states as well as others on the outside such as the uk and norway to be a continent that is at peace was that that is not include ukraine and that is a cover that is at war. so in some ways, i think nato is cementing the us role in helping provide security for europe has been a tremendous success, and

we see that any time anyone travels in the european union or it goes to estonia or the eastern flank. and i think that is something that really have to be celebrated and it's felt deeply a most nato members is the security that the alliance is provided has enabled something that we have never really experienced, that europe having at peace and that's something that for a millennium was not the case. sol think that's a tremendous achievement is something that is really celebrated here at the 75th birthday of the alliance. interesting to take that bigger picture. thank you very much coming on the programme, thank you. thank ou. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news.

this is to be seat news. prime minister sir keir starmer has said that president biden was on "really good form" during his first face—to—face talks with us presidentjoe biden.

he said they were an opportunity to "recommit" to the special relationship between the uk and us. he sat down in washington with our political editor, chris mason, who has been following the prime minister on his first overseas trip. he needs to go in. come with us into the oval office of the white house. focus in on the prime minister. is that an expression that says, "this is a pinch yourself moment"? good to see you. hope you're ok. "hope you're ok," says his host, as america asks that very question of their president. yes, it's blunt. yes, it's personal. shouting. this white noise of hollered questions at the start of their meeting, called a bilateral, are about his mental abilities, if he's really fit to run for re—election. hello, prime minister... so what did sir keir starmer make of him? prime minister, you know what an increasing number of people are saying. they're implying that president biden is senile.

is he? no, we had a really good bilateral yesterday. we were billed for 45 minutes. we went on for the best part of an hour. we went through a huge number of issues at pace. he was actually on really good form, and there were a number of... mentally agile? absolutely across all the detail. we were going at pace through a number of issues, which was really important to me, because obviously it was my first opportunity to have a bilateral like that. and he showed incredible leadership. we've seen george clooney suggesting he's not up to it. is that unfair? well, i've given you my readout of the meeting we had. he was on good form. present arms! a meeting of the nato defence alliance is a reminder of the sacrifices made in war. this is the arlington national cemetery. at the summit, a key discussion has been about military funding in a dangerous world. you've said that spending more

on defence, up to 2.5% of national income, is iron—clad, how clad in iron can it be when we have to wait for this review that's about to begin? there's no timescale on it, and then there'll be a judgment on whether it's affordable. is that really iron—clad? there's information which we weren't privy to when we were in opposition which we are now privy to, so i want to go through that exercise. the commitment is absolutely iron—clad to that 2.5%. what i don't want to do is what has been done in the past, which is to set an arbitrary date without a pathway. i don't think that's serious. we're so serious about it that we want to make sure that it is within our fiscal rules, that we can show exactly how it's going to be deliverable... so it will happen? yes, absolutely. a week on from the general election, sir keir starmer�*s first overseas trip is wrapping up. from the polling station to the white house balcony, it's been quite a week. chris mason, bbc news, in washington.

england will face pain in the micro 1.24 final on sunday. a goal from the substitute ollie watkins a last—minute win over the netherlands. gareth southgate's side looked to be going in extra time but england secured the win in the 90th minute, to the delight of fans across the country. this is south london, and they are setting up that final in spain. joe and would watch the game in a bar in south london. it always starts off so civilised. a nice bit of face painting, some vintage shirts, catching up with friends. and then a man shows you his tattoo in an area that we can't broadcast at the crack of dawn. nervous and excited at the same time. the stomach's doing this, you know?

watching along were lewis and katie. they met exactly six years ago at the semifinals of the world cup. so feelings on england on their anniversary? well, i was saying i go off a lot what you say. and you said the starting line—up isn't good. but to be fair, i do think he needs to make some changes in the beginning. # god save our king... being an england fan has not been easy at this tournament. it'sjust depressing. but that feeling didn't last long. england was soon on the attack. i feel like they maybe by conceding that early goal, they've stepped it up now. wild, but potentially premature celebrations? and they've not actually scored. that's just a penalty being awarded. the mood was upbeat at half—time. at least he finished the beer before throwing his pint in the air. coming into half—time, we were on top of the game, we dominated. we haven't come out firing. but that didn't stop one man making

an optimistic purchase. it is 70 minutes into the game, and this man hasjust... what have you just done? you've just showed me your phone. listen here. it's coming home. have you just... you've purchased hotel tickets? free cancellation, so it's fine. free cancellation. he was so certain of victory, he went and booked his trip to berlin for the final. the only things being cancelled were plans for sunday evening. cheering. i'm soaked in beer. i know, cos he... ..he was throwing it. it's coming home! guys, what did you make of that? that was incredible! we didn't play very well in the second half,

but it don't matter. we've just got to get the ball in the net. and he did it. watkins, baby, yeah! right around the country — manchester, sheffield, norwich, chester and in brixton... # looking back on . when we first met... if this is what getting to a final looks like, imagine the scenes if we actually win. # southgate, you're the one # you still turn me on...# joe inwood, bbc news in brixton. # football's coming home again!# england are through to the final pulley due to their manager, gareth southgate. it appears he has to look a lot in the form of a police officer in dortmund. here is what happened when england fans spotted him before the match last night. at? him before the match last night. a it's him before the match last night. so it's coming home again... # i cannot understand but i cannot # forget.

extends in across much of western europe. the heat, humidity in summer is out towards the east, but at a price. temperatures in the high 30s, low 405. in between, though, thursday into friday, we're going to see some severe storms develop across europe, a developing area of low pressure. and it all helps to increase the northerly air flow that we're going to experience into friday. it's that which is bringing the cooler air in place. through the night, lots of cloud, outbreaks of rain and drizzle, england and wales especially. some clearer skies, scotland, northern ireland, though — temperatures here could drop into mid—single figures for friday morning. here, though, some of the brightest weather to come on friday, a lot of cloud for england and wales. there will be some brighter breaks here and there. some of you will see sunshine. outbreaks of rain and drizzle, though, pushing their way southwards. maybe the odd thunderstorm in the south—west and south wales later, but really grey conditions and breezy conditions later on across eastern counties of england, the wind picking up. lightest of the winds, though, with the sunshine in south—west scotland is where we'll see the highest of the temperatures — 20 degrees, compared tojust13 or 14 as a high on the east coast. it really will not feel like summer at all. now, into friday night, the breeze strengthens a bit more
