let's go live to ellen fisher, who is in washington, d. c. for us in the 15 states in the us have been effected. now k is it, is the capital to can you explain just what it is like the people i got trying to go about their daily lives? well if you can see behind me, you can see the the capital dome, or you could almost just make the capital don't normally in a day in june. if it was a clear day that would stand for some distance. so you can see that essentially through the canyon, it's been reduced to milk you horizon and that's impacting thousands of kilometers from the canadian border all the way down to north carolina and beyond. we've been out here for a couple of hours. you can feel the smoke touching in your throat if you go inside and then come back coat again. you smell this me almost immediately for many school groups who are heading to washington dc. this time of year, it's becoming not getting scrambled to try and thing,
9:04 pm
find things that they can do and doors to try and keep children safe. the dc government has a nice that there will be no outdoor activities. they've canceled a number of events at the baseball game that was due to take place in national stadium, which isn't that far away from capitol hill that has been cancelled today. couple of outdoor performance has been cancelled as well. the part range of is alone, the national molar. i've seen people to head to the semi smithsonian's, the museums, all alone demo. rather than spend any time i'd say that i'd been speaking to some people here in washington about how it's impacted them over the last couple of days . a little while you had it last night. you know, i felt a little weird last night. i didn't know if it was attributed to the smoke, but you know, this is weird. yeah. is weird situation. yeah. just visiting from arizona, so uh, in town for a conference wasn't planning on the on the smoke in the haze, but i live in the pacific northwest for
9:05 pm
a long time. we kind of deal with it seems like it's getting worse every summer file. we do something about the job. i don't know the white house of just put out a statement. what, what did the us president have to say about the situation? i'm sorry, i really no idea about what he's just said, but let me tell you what is happening here in washington dc. we know the number of flights up and cancel. the reality is the number of also being delayed for, for some considerable time. and there's a feeling that that might happen to the airports here in the washington area. we have 3 significant airports. the problem is, of course, it visibility at laguardia, there was a near salt which meant nothing could come in or take off in new york for almost an hour as of the lease of range from somewhere in the average of 75 minutes to more than another and that has an impact on doing it throughout the whole of the transport system. in the united states day. we know that the,
9:06 pm
that the canadians have been battling these fires for more than a week. the united states now also helping they're sending more than $600.00 firefighters and support staff to the area to try and combat these photos fires. but the warning is that these conditions are likely to last for a couple of days at the air pollution index is measured from 0 to to more than 300 . but under 50 things are normally quite good. i wrote 200 that's pretty unhealthy . at the moment in washington dc, it's more than 320. okay, thank you so much. that is ellen session for us in washington dc with joining us a lot from cobra and canada is initially she is a reporter with ctv national news. now of this moving 405 still building understands that more than half of them still out of control. can you just give us an idea of just how bad things are there and just how wide spread?
9:07 pm
the problem is right now. well tom is you mentioned half of those for $3100.00 rather or so. fires are out of control here and come back. and the focus today is in an area about 7 hours away from we are in a community called natal. it's a village of about $800.00 people where the fire has literally arrived at the door steps. so the flames have crept in about 500 meters from the village. and so all efforts are being pulled right now. to save that village. and officials say that things are changing very quickly that an hour ago add their update. they see that they think they're going to be able to protect this community. is they think that, that these winds will not be as violent as they had feared. but just about 36 hours ago in a nearby community called should book and know it's a town of 7500. that was he back, you waited a centrally in an instant,
9:08 pm
a town counsellor was telling me that at 5 o'clock, wednesday afternoon, they were talking about whether or not they should evacuating fire officials. i told them no problem. you're good for now. and then just 2 hours later, they were banging on people's doors, telling them to leave immediately. so such a scary situation. when people are just being told, you have to, you have to take their pets, you have to leave. and they were taken to a community about 300 kilometers away. so it should normally be a 3 hour drive. it ended up taking 8 hours and that's because thousands of people were, were piling out of the town. and it's something that they have never seen before. tom, you of attention has been given to the situation with the smoke and pollution in the us, but it must be affecting millions of people in canada as well. can you just give us an idea of just how many people are affected and what sort of restrictions and cancellations that have happened over the last 48 hours of
9:09 pm
the well, across the country, there are hundreds of alerts right now. there are alerts for more than 600 communities from coast to coast some. so from b c to newfoundland. that is there. so many people are that are affected with poor air quality. now right now we are in montreal just about 7 hours away from the nearest community that has been evacuated. and surprisingly, today, it is quite clear. so it's cloudy, but we can see blue sky. and so even though we are much closer than let's say, new york or d c a, you know, it's the air quality is very good here today. and the experts tell us it's, it's all, it all comes down to wind direction. so toronto today, they're actually experiencing one of its course uh days when it comes to air quality. and that's about 5 hours away from us in ottawa, which is the capital of canada, that's about 2 and a half hours away from us. it's also very bad. there, so a lot of people are
9:10 pm
a little bit baffled by exactly, you know, because we are much closer to the fires and lot of these other places. why is it that the error so good here? well, it really comes down to the winds. how forcefully are in the past that they're taking? yeah. many expensive thing. this is a stock reminder of the impacts of climate change. while the people in kind of assigning a they linking these wild files directly to climate change the will absolutely well when it comes to the severity and, and how many fires that we are seeing and come back in, in canada. officials say that it is unprecedented. that they have never seen so many flyers with this severity at this point of the season. it's, it's only june, 8th, after all, and summer hasn't even officially arrived yet. right now. there are about $800.00 firefighters on the ground. saddling the 130,
9:11 pm
the 140 fires in come back and there is more help on the way. so there is help coming from the west from spain, from portugal, from mexico. and if you're wondering why help is coming from so far away, it's because the resources in canada and other provinces, they're basically tapped out because there have been fires in, in british columbia. there have been fires in ontario as well as nova scotia. and essentially no one can spare the resources and so that is why come back is, is getting help from so far away. tom. okay, thank you so much for all of that. that is financially and cubic candidate reported with ctv national news. thank you for just a heads up. we are expecting a press conference from the us president joe biden, and the british prime minister receives through nick, who is visiting washington dc, will bring that to you. as soon as of stats, we are expecting them to discuss the situation in canada as well as the effect the
9:12 pm
wall funds having in the us all throughout the news now. and you kind of russia are accusing each other of hampering if it's to evacuated. people from the southern coast on the region, shelling and casualties have been reported on both sides emergency teams, the searching areas flooded offs with another couple of catan breached on tuesday operations have continued in ukrainian and russian controlled territory. despite this solve tillery 5 presidents, a lot of missile lensky has visited coast on to inspect evacuation operations and visited injury to people in hospital. so landscape, discuss getting clean water and other relief supplies into the designs design. as the dam links the banks, if there's any proof of a health by russia to the south and you crane to the north cave and most go, would choose each other of deliberately attacking the risk of what the governor of
9:13 pm
cos on says about 600 square kilometers i'm to voice a keeps is a fluid if it is ukrainian control territory with the remaining 2 thirds in the russian occupied areas. tell. stratford isn't close on with the latest evacuation if it's hearing care. so an ongoing, we're seeing a steady stream of boats going out into the flooded effect today, or is bringing people out. we will sell on a boat earlier today and saw some of what you'll start to see or tell us around a 1000 people that are either trapped or refusing to leave. they, they say that's a rule for levels. hey, all relatively similar to have say well, yesterday, but certainly in some areas we have seen what we believe to be a rise in that level. there were serious concerns about getting fresh drinking water to people still trapped inside. and they're also concerns about showing we've heard
9:14 pm
a lot more shilling today than we have done in the last 48 hours or so. we understand that the majority of that showing was ukrainian outgoing. but certainly the military yeah. increasingly novice that that could be shedding from russian forces on the russian occupied side of the river. but as you can see, still the vast areas of the city and the surrounding region that he's on the wall to a. and many people still beat up, refusing to be evacuated, or trapped inside child stuff without a 0 catch. so the russian defense ministry has released the video, which it says shows and attempted advanced by ukraine being propelled in separation . russia says the ukrainian forces not that heavy losses. the file, the salt on, and brushing lines to the chair. today at 1 30 am in the area adjacent is that
9:15 pm
per reach you ukraine's $47.00 mechanize brigade was up to $1500.00 men on the $150.00 on the vehicles attempted to break through all defences to the enemy was detective. and the preventive strike was delivered by off tillery aviation, an empty tank weapon, it's going to be was stopped, and with heavy losses, they withdrew the enemy last 30 tanks, 11 infantry fighting vehicles, and up to 350 men. so the specially prepared was the forces of the enemy. so this breakthrough did not fulfill that task. julia shop of oliver has more. for most car, the russian appointed authorities ends up are always you claims the ukrainian attack it was repelled. the russian troops used on hillary and several and crops in the bustle. there were reports from other regions to inbox moved, for example, the armed forces of ukraine were trying to find some weaknesses in the russian defences. but according to the russian appointed authorities that the city remains
9:16 pm
on the vs control. we are raising here in local newspapers. that's the ukrainians seem to have a seriously overestimate invest franks and the counter offensive is ground. truly turning into the destruction of the month, power and weapons, there has been no breakthrough of russia's defense is within 5 days of acts of financing. and then, despite the facts of the forces of ukraine, have already introduced up to a set of their reserves. but russia says, ukraine continues, it's offensive no massive old. that's what we're hearing, hey, in russia, which on the whole reports from the ukrainian capital caves, to what we hear most of what we hear that flashes out this particular, this picture of ukrainian activity comes from the russian side. it comes from russian government, the russian ministry, and russian blog is essentially these russia at an official level saying the counter offensive has begun and the duties 14,

9:25 pm
the security of the atlantic and pacific regions are indivisible. and just a fortnight ago, in hiroshima, president bided and i stood with presidents, the landscape and that one g 7 analyze, and a powerful display of unity. the u. k. is proud of our contribution, including providing tanks, long range weapons, and training ukrainian soldiers. but let no one down us leadership and results is all the decisive contribution, allowing the forces of democracy and freedom to prevail. as i said in congress, as i say again now to president biden and to the american people. thank you. and just as we collaborate to protect our national security. so what's me increasing the do the same to protect our economic security on which prosperity depends. countries like china and russia are willing to manipulate and exploits our
9:26 pm
openness. still our intellectual property. use technology for all of our tiring and or withdrawal. crucial results is like energy. they will not succeed. today we have agree the atlantic declaration, a new economic partnership for a new age of a collins that has never been agreed before. yes, upon the shit that protects all citizens but move in that a test case for the kind of re imagined allowances. president biden has spoken so eloquently about that means new investment this week alone. 14000000000 pounds of new american investment has been committed into the u. k, creating thousands of jobs. it means stronger supply chains with a new action plan on clean energy. and it really means reducing trade barriers and the technologies of the future. with a new secure u. k. u. s. day to bridge, hoping tens of thousands of small businesses and agreement to work towards mutual
9:27 pm
recognition of more professional qualifications and areas like engineering. and we're launching negotiations on a new critical mendoza agreement. once concluded, this will give you a company stronger access to the us market and we're building on our extraordinary shed strengths and cutting edge future technologies with joint research collaboration scenarios like quantum semi conductors and i now own childers need is, is to ensure that this technological revolution makes us more secure and not less. last week, the pioneers of all special intelligence warned us about the scale of a challenge, as well as the opportunity the us and the u. k. all the worlds full most democratic a on a pallet. so today president and i agreed to work together on a only safety, including multilaterally. now the u. k. looks forward to hosting the 1st level summit on a only safety later this year. so that we can see the extraordinary possibilities
9:28 pm
of this new technological age. and do so with confidence, and we on well placed to do so. i know some people have wondered what kind of partner person would be all, so we left, but you, i'd say just by all actions. we're committed to all values as, as a, as reliable in ally, as, as a, as attractive an investment destination as, as a start with changing to strengthening our relationships. not just with old friends like america in new york, but with new friends in the, in the pacific to. and we now have the freedom to regulate the new technologies that will shape our economic future like a on more quickly and selectively. that is the future that we are creating in person, confident, proud and free. let me close with a personal reflection. as jerry mentioned to you and i've seen quite a lot of each other in recent months,
9:29 pm
i gather on why it's of ease and started to take spend losses together. and we were talking about all home towns. joe is very brightly proud of wisconsin. and i just had a little bit about south hampton in england, where i'm from now know everyone knows this, but it was in a church in south hampton, where in the days before he set sail for the shows that joan, when from 1st spoke about his dream of building a city on a hill. and that reminds us that the relationship between our 2 nations is unlike any other. our lines is so strong because it is not abstract. it is rooted in our people. and it's never been about our history alone. but about our ability to cross the future, we should have the same belief, pursue the same purpose, an act according to the same ideals. and that's why today, as we meet the challenges of our time,
9:30 pm
we can depend on each other with absolute conviction. when the united states and the united kingdom span together, the world is a safe bet to a more prosperous place. and that's why ours is the indispensable alliance. thank if site to prime minister. right, 1st question goes to i'd change the financial times unless he left. thank you mister president. i appreciate the question. so we have some you spoke about your unwavering support for the people of ukraine. so much of that depends on funding from the us congress. and now we're at the counter offensive underway. when do you expect to return to congress and ask for new funding and how much do you expect you will need? and do you think that speaker mccarthy will agree to it given some skeptical
9:31 pm
comments that we heard earlier? not sure. yes, and to uh, prime minister assume that you spoke earlier this week about the importance of, of finding a long term security arrangements and agreements for the defense of ukraine for many years. ahead and do you think that um, have you found a common position with president biden uh on that issue. what's your preferred model for a long term security agreement uh with respect to ukraine and doesn't need to be sorted out before the building at summit. thank you. let me begin by answer your question. first of all, the ukranian should speak to the military operations and i won't do that from here. we've done everything we could collectively,
9:32 pm
but individually the united states to make them ready to support at gmail, going to it's going to continue and is evolving situation that we're, we're, we're very optimistic in talks with your credit is in your any is and particularly with zalinski and our allies in partners on commitments to ukraine, long term security, long term security to deter a future aggression after this war. and this is as a goal. and we're advancing this goal by providing them to support ukraine needs now on the battlefield and helping them strengthen their military over the long term. effects of the matter is that i believe we will have the funding necessary to support ukraine as long as it takes. and i believe that we're gonna that,
9:33 pm
that support will be real. even though there are you hear some voices today on capital hill, about whether or not we should continue to support ukraine and for how long we should support the fact that matter is i asked people a picture of what would happen if we were not supported ukraine do we think russia would stop and keith, do you think that's all there would be happening? i think not. i think the vast majority of my colleagues, even the critics think that would not be the case as well as much more to say about ukraine. but i hope that answers your direct question james, thank you for the question. if i, if i might actually talk to in your 1st question 1st and insights and actually tony reasonable for the american people to hear what all i say and hopefully acknowledge the science that we have. so the support of the situation, ukraine, but also ask if everyone is doing that bit. and that's why, as i said that you guys proud to be behind the us, the biggest contribute to,
9:34 pm
to them of the tree us it in ukraine. i think it's right that other countries also step up and do that policy. we're lucky to has america's investment in european security. but we need to share the bud and alongside you, which is why defend spending in the u. k. has who has been advanced a 2 percent native benchmark. it's on an increasing trajectory and we would encourage other countries to follow the lead that the us and, and the u. k. set. because all security is collective. i mean, the other thing for you to know about also is an ally, is we also have used security as indivisible between the euro, atlantic region and the pacific. that's why the will cause partnership is so important. that's why we're strengthening our engagement and allowances in that region to so that us can count on the u. k as a partner and an ally, sharing the button, but also working together in every saying that it matches. i don't your last a question. i agree with what the president said it's about to tyrants. president
9:35 pm
boucher and we'll be thinking that he can weighs all sound. the lines will tie up, we'll get city and we'll give up. now that is not the case. and the more we can put in place support for you credit and not just in the here. and now the support that will last for a time and for years to come. i think it sends a strong signal to him. there is no point trying to wait us out, we don't going anywhere. we will be here for as long as it takes. and hopefully that will speed up the calculation in his mind, the ation withdrawal his forces and stop what is in a legal and unprovoked active aggression. so so if you don't mind my making my point out that the not only do we have your responded, i spent a lot of time in japan. the japanese have stepped up and stepped up in terms of their budget stuff in terms of their involvement their stuff to stepped up in terms of the support for your crate. realizing that in advance, a,
9:36 pm
a glaring invasion with no free text rang other than the concrete land. currently the 21st century is the danger, not only in europe, but everywhere in the world. and next question from from the p. b. s. news our lar thank you, mr. president. i think he goes to the mike, that's why the lower brown lopez with the p b a c is our all over the country. mister president, republican let's say, are passing laws, a passing anti l g b t t q, anti transgender laws that were strange, rights and medical care. intimidation is on the rise this week, and high l g b, t, q. protesters, turn violent and california. and also recently i spoke to the parents of a transgendered role in texas, who told me that they're afraid and that they are considering li leaving,
9:37 pm

9:41 pm
must pass the equality and send it to my desk. now, would you be que americans, especially children your loved your heard and this administration has your back? and i mean, we are not remaining one single 2nd. make sure that to protect laura the on the, on your question. i it's, it's clear that a, i can bring incredible and will bring incredible benefits to society, our economies, to all of us. and actually one of your leading venture capitalist just published to an illness which made the point very eloquently yesterday, i think so will say clear the that it does pose very real risks that we is leaders need to be cognizant of. i'm put in place. the goal and rails to mitigate again to president and bite. and i know i had a very good conversation on this just a couple of weeks ago in fine and one of all the sections in fair ocean. and we are
9:42 pm
aligned in one thing to discuss with other countries, what there's going rails should be here in the us. you've conveyed all the companies together. recently we've done the same in downing street just a couple of weeks ago. and i think there are a series of measures that we can him to then working cooperatively as we have been discussing, that will ensure that we can enjoy the benefits of this technology walls mitigating against that risks. and that's what all citizens would expect. and you talk about climate change, you know, we come together, it call to what you multilaterally across multiple countries to bring down called and emissions to get funding to the countries that need it. to share research on how we can develop the green technology in the future. indeed, that's part of all conversations in agreement today that we need to bring that same spirit of urgency. i think to the challenges and opportunities allied poses cause the pace of the technological change is foster. then people add on to some pages and i think the last to that you mentioned kind of reminded us that we do need to
9:43 pm
walk urgently to address this issue. and i'm delighted that joe, and i know those will be doing that with all great haste. and i think couple of questions on our end, can i quote on the bbc? thank you, chris, license i from bbc news clement as to your i as a concept of policy at the last term that election was a full free trial deal with america. isn't the simple truth of what's been announced that in the knowledge went to the effect of the students and to the president, why we do a full trade agreements with the okay, thank you. thanks, sir. if you, if you look at what we've announced today, what it does is respond to the particular opportunities and challenges that we face right now and into the future. and it asked the question, what do we need to do working together that can bring most benefit to our citizens as quickly as possible? i and holler, agreement does thoughts. it's a stupid kind agreement that sound vicious in what it seeks to achieve. i think
9:44 pm
that i struck cetera around a couple of different areas. the 1st is economic security because the challenges we face all, much more economic in nature, be subjective all discussions of the g 7 recently. and the only way we're going to meet those challenges is to work together to strengthen the resilience of all supply chains to research the technologies of the future together. and that's what we've announced today is upon the ship that will deepen all cooperation to strengthen the economic security and that's good for all systems at home and those risks of intensified in the past couple of years. i think that's very evident, but it also seeks to build prosperity and create jobs. and both of all countries. we've announced billions of pounds of investment into the you k, which is going to support thousands of jobs and the agreement that we struck today . we'll continue to do that. it will support tens of thousands of small businesses in the u. k. removing unnecessary red tape so that they can trade and do business
9:45 pm
in the us far easier. and i think those types of specific targeted measures that will deliver real benefits to people as quickly as possible, all the right things for us to be focused on. but i think be a no doubt is joe no, i would discussing earlier. the economic relationship between our 2 countries has never been stronger than the trade is, was hundreds of millions of pounds of dollars a year over a 1000000 of all citizens in each of these countries walk in each of those companies we own the largest investors in each of those countries and that trade is growing something like 20 percent last year. so the relationship is strong. it's booming. but our agreement today focuses on the particular challenges, opportunities at the moment we're in and i think that's the right thing for us both to be focused on. so i think we had a really good discussion today about our economic relationship. and we're launch negotiations on critical materials and an agreement to deal with climate crisis.
9:46 pm
for example, there is no reason why great britain will not play a major role in, not only in critical materials by the invest, seen in the united states of america and all of our initiatives relating to lead for critical materials including battery technology and a whole range of things, number one and number 2, cooperating on data and a it is an a limitless capacity in possibility. we uh, but we have to do it with great care. not relative to one another but relative to the issue. because when i convene later today, i have, i think are 13 here in united states, very architects of this a i, i, they're also very concerned about it getting out of hand. and we gotta make sure we're all the same page. and we're looking to create print and delete that for this fall and putting together a proposal,
9:47 pm
a group of nations to deal with. how do we deal with this? and not only has the potential to, to cure cancer. and many other things that are just beyond our comprehension, there's the potential to do great damage and it's not controlled. and so we're looking for, overstate, we're looking for watermarks. and everything that has to do is produced by a guy. so we know from which it comes, but there's a lot we have to do. we're also addressing the national security risk posed by certain types of outbound investments. i had a discussion with which is you the china? why was i not transferring certain technological capabilities? and i said very simply because you're using them for weapons of mass destruction and intelligence intervention. and i said, we can work out something on that. we haven't heard of different relationships. so
9:48 pm
what we're trying to do is figure out how together we can make sure that we have the repack them and say it this way. i don't think ever. and the history of human endeavor has a brand is fundamental potential technological change, as is presented by artificial intelligence. it is staggering. is a staggering of some of the leaders in the industry talking about how they're concerned, whether machine will be able to begin to think for itself not need to be pro. i mean, it's just, i know it sounds like science fiction, but it is close to science fiction, some of the things as a norm, as potential. and we're looking to great britain to help read that effort to figure out a way through this. so we're in full total cooperation because there is no one, no country we have greater facing the name on the go shake this not, not negotiate with individuals negotiate. i went through this and then the prime
9:49 pm
minister, and so we were in lock step 5, last question. the last question is the time. thank you, chris, by some of the time. so you may pay your support for free trade. it is today's agreement, essentially, a recognition that the lights of covers a growing tract of china. russia's invasion of ukraine, the you are on septic level. ization is those uh, any side of us tonight. k that he thinks that requires a much more intervention. hist industrial policy to respond to the why do you think that approach is wrong for the u. k. mr. president, what you say to those approval to say that you own you, washington consensus is simply a frontier way of saying america 1st and a lot of the woods just now about u. k. us defense collaboration, particularly in ukraine. do you think it's time for the 1st partition h o secretary, genuine to to it's the last part of the question, i'm sorry, is it time for a partition?
9:50 pm
nato secretary general, it may be that remains to be seen. we're going to have to get a consensus within nato to see that happen. they have a candidate is a very qualified individual. but we're going to have, uh, we have a lot of discussion between us, but in nato determine what the outcome of that will be. and with regard to the 1st part of the question you want me to respond to it was about is the new washington consensus that you'll annual nations regards to set out simply another way of saying america 1st are some obviously you think it, well look, my economic policy is totally consistent with what i think is in the interest of our nato allies in our allies around the world. one of the things that i decided to do, and i find that wall street journal on i'm sure the summit here for the wall street
9:51 pm
journal and other publications are talking about by nomics. i didn't realize it was a 5 by nomic story much. the bottom line was, is that the fundamental change is taking place in terms of international trade. nobody in a least furniture people united states and i suspect around the world knew what a supply chain meant, or they're talking about a supply chain. when we found out through the pandemic, that the reason why we couldn't build automobiles was because the outfit then we got our semi conductors from, in southeast asia, had shut down because of pen damage. we realized that i decided and no longer would we rely on one center of support for any of the things that are needed for our economic growth. and i made it clear to all our nato allies on our partners as well . that although we're going to generate a, for example, in a i capacity here, i'm excuse me, a,
9:52 pm
a set set the semi conductor capacity here in united states to attract a, literally a several $100000000000.00 in an investment that, that was available to all of our all of our allies, all of our friends, and they're investing as they, as we are, and benefiting in a similar way. the bottom line here for me is that i think that the world is changing in a way that globalization is still real. but the measure of what we used to call in united states trickle down economics, where it's a trick trickle down economics, it resulted in in bo, and democratic and republican ministrations for generations in making sure we found the cheapest of labor in the world sense the product to send the workers over to that neighbor was neighbors driving the cheapest labor and they send back their products. i'm not doing that anymore. we're going to make sure that we,
9:53 pm
in fact have a slip of that or send the capacity here, united states for attracting capacity to build here, united states as and product overseas. not, not the reverse. and i know it sounds simplistic, but it's working so far. and it's not going to hurt anymore allies or friends in terms of the trade pieces. and in fact, i'm finding or benefiting from it as well because they're engaging in it with us. and that whole, we're doing similar things. so that's why we talked about the need to have relationships in terms of the certain materials to the battery technologies a share. we rely on great britain to produce a lot of that for us. so it is increasing trade. but right now it looks like it is because united states is doing so incredibly well. it makes, it looks like it's only the united states. it's not such a change in direction,
9:54 pm
in terms of how we view generating economic growth. just to that, i'd say on the absolute day of the view that the united states as president does not believe in 0 song competition amongst allies thoughtful weed, excited together with ology 7 partners just a few weeks ago in the russian. this is a president and administration that is completely attuned to the needs and concerns of its allies on these issues. and you can see that today is the presidents that we're launching negotiations between the u. k. and the us on a critical manuals agreement. so that the us can provide us with that interaction in cooperation we need and the atlantic declaration that we've announced today just talks about strengthening, deepening our cooperation. and it's not about looking in and being protection. it's about the exact opposite of that. and it's about strengthening that cooperation across the full spectrum of economic, technological i know this is,
9:55 pm
and that's what you will say. you'll see that from the president, you'll say it for me, you'll see that you can the us working even more closely to got us all the big economic issues of all the times because that's what the moment them ons. and that's what all citizens need us to do, and that's the president and i time to deliver. star services. look for global science. there's gonna be a 1000000000 people in africa or shortly, 1000000000 at the g 7. it was originally called bill back better world paper, he's talking about there's a new p p i anyway in industrial policy that we're all signed onto, to provide countries in africa and in the, in the global south on opportunity to grow significantly grow, which benefits the united states benefit your benefits every country because the reverse is true if we don't figure a way in which these countries can grow and participate and have to be able to
9:56 pm
build infrastructure. you know, the canadian, the excuse me, the chinese have apart have dealt road initiative on the battle building road initiative turns out to be in debt and confiscation programs not go very far. but what we're doing, and we're going to be doing with our nato allies, with the g 7, is providing opportunities, for example, in goal, should be in a position version of the largest. cool, uh um, the largest solar facility in the world generated a significant amounts of energy benefit to us. benefits them, brings them into the 21st century. no way they've never been before. we're talking about building a new my, my team putting together was other in the countries as well to build a railroad from the pacific ocean, front and manic ocean. all the way to the notion never occur before how we're, we're our department of agriculture and working with these countries. so there's
9:57 pm
a significant amount of cooperation, not to hoard capacity, but to x paid capacity to further expand opportunity. because we all benefit from it. and one thing i've learned is that we are not going to be able to deal with the global warming, which is a consequential single most consequential threat to humanity. if we don't do it unless we engage more together not fewer, not less together. and so the united states will do what it can do well, invite all of our partners to be part of it if we can. thank you. it is us present, joe biden, educate 5 minutes to receive student. i can be a speaking that there close relationship, a number of topics including i, safety controls, funding for ukraine. wildfires and canada as well as the atlanta declaration. what
9:58 pm
we're going to go very briefly to what house correspondent, kimberly held kit, who has been watching a long can you just tell us a bit more about this new atlantic declaration the, to the plan to deal with the economic issues facing both countries. yeah, that is one of the headlines. the other that came out of this was really ukraine. there we can start with the plan there. that really seems to be tied to security and also the economy. that is something that we know that the u. k. prime minister was set to talk about as he spoke to the us president, really seeing that those 2 are interchangeably links. and so uh well you did hear that there was some criticism of the us rather the u. k. prime minister that he had not achieved some sort of free trade agreement from the british press. there. he seemed to brush set off saying,
9:59 pm
but what he had achieved in conjunction with the us president was this announcement of a plan to create and strength and security by creating jobs, clean energy, and deepening that economic cooperation. so that's the crux of that. the other point that was certainly underscored was that there is an ongoing partnership when it comes to you pray, the fact, but even us there may be some voices in the us congress questing whether they're still needs to be funding for that. the us president saying that in fact there is still the appetite and that there needs to be uh, funding for that for the long haul. okay, thank you so much. that is kimberly, how could white house correspondent? well, that is all for me. tell mccrae for this news now. the london team will be here in just a moment with more news on that press conference as well as the rest of the guys news. an adult even from one is a home will tough was what dreams were made. they turned into a night matter the rest. and so what you buy,
