joe biden is now on his way to cornwall — he's expected to arrive in the next hour. also on the programme tonight: the uk records its highest daily covid cases since february, as the prime minister sounds downbeat over the prospect of lifting england's restrictions in 12 days�* time. a row between the sussexes and a buckingham palace source over the naming of their new baby daughter — now a warning from harry and meghan�*s lawyers. and getting ready for the euros, which are about to kick off a whole year late with england, wales and scotland in action. and coming up in the sport on the bbc news channel: rafael nadal�*s bid for a record 14th french open title continues, as he moves into the semifinals at roland garros. good evening.

the president of the united states has arrived in the uk, ahead of a meeting with world leaders at the g7 summit this weekend. joe biden�*s first overseas trip as preisident begins tomorrow, with a meeting with borisjohnson, at which he's expected to say that the trade row between the eu and the uk should not be allowed to endanger peace in northern ireland. at the heart of that row is the brexit agreement�*s northern ireland protocol, which allows for border checks on goods going into the province from the rest of the uk. ministers want those checks to end, arguing that they are leading to food shortages. our north america editor jon sopel has this report. for the first time since becoming president injanuary, joe biden president in january, joe biden stepped president injanuary, joe biden stepped out from air force one on to foreign soil. the soil of suffolk and raf mildenhall on a perfect summer's evening. the president wants this first foreign trip that will take him did cornwall, brussels

and geneva to be seen as a decisive break from the trump years, america no longer isolationist. points he drove home to us servicemen and women at the base once he'd told them to relax.— them to relax. please, at ease. i keep forgetting _ them to relax. please, at ease. i keep forgetting i'm _ them to relax. please, at ease. i keep forgetting i'm president. i keep forgetting i'm president. america is back on a role of global leadership, he told them. at america is back on a role of global leadership, he told them. at every oint leadership, he told them. at every point along — leadership, he told them. at every point along the _ leadership, he told them. at every point along the way, _ leadership, he told them. at every point along the way, we _ leadership, he told them. at every point along the way, we are - leadership, he told them. at every point along the way, we are going| leadership, he told them. at every l point along the way, we are going to make it clear that the united states is back and democracies of the world are standing together to tackle the toughest challenges and the issues that matter most to our future. that we are committed to leading with strength, defending our values and delivering for our people.— delivering for our people. whether it be covid, _ delivering for our people. whether it be covid, the _ delivering for our people. whether it be covid, the global _ delivering for our people. whether it be covid, the global economy i delivering for our people. whether it be covid, the global economy ori it be covid, the global economy or climate change, joe biden wants to see america at the forefront and he looked ahead to the trickiest of his encounters on this trip. his meeting

on the island of ireland. our political editor laura kuennsberg reports from cornwall. is this just the beginning? the beginning of what? the start of what could be a momentous week for this prime minister. to crank out deals with other democracies on climate, on covid and cooperation. as world leaders make their way to cornwall, he wants to be the host with the most. it's a big moment. don't forget, this is the first time in six months in office almost thatjoe biden, the us president, has been able to come overseas for a major trip. it's his first time on the european continent, it's the first time any of us really have been able to see each other face—to—face since the pandemic began. you know, the pandemic, let's face it, was a pretty scratchy period. so a tiny cornish bay is being transformed into a stage for the world. yet some of the nuts and bolts of the uk's

friendship with its neighbours are already banged out of shape. while the prime minister was making his way to the south—west, in westminster, this diplomatic spat with the eu was reaching new levels of danger. the eu will not be shy in reacting swiftly, firmly and resolutely to ensure that the uk abides by its international law obligations. i was coming here with hope for a breakthrough. of course, now, we have to consider our future steps. it's not too late, let's correct the path, let's focus on what unites us. that tension is bound to be a topic of conversation here. this huge get—together is the first since the uk left the eu and there's a heightened sense of hostility over how the brexit deal�*s affecting northern ireland, just at the moment when borisjohnson wants to be showing why friendship matters. remember, under the deal, northern ireland has

to follow some eu rules. so some goods are meant to be checked when they move from one coast to another. that created a trade border of sorts inside the united kingdom, but it avoided the need for a hard border between northern ireland and ireland. now time has passed, the uk is frustrated, it wants the eu to be flexible about the deal but the eu's perplexed, they think the uk is not willing to do what it agreed. and the time allocated to business to get used to some of the change is about to run out and there is a stand—off, because neither side appears willing to budge. so the problem we've got is that the protocol is being implemented in a way which is causing disruption in northern ireland. and we had some pretty frank and honest discussions about that situation today. there weren't any breakthroughs, there aren't any breakdowns either and we are going to carry on talking. what we really now need to do is very urgently find some solutions which support

the belfast good friday agreement, support that the peace process in northern ireland and allow things to return to normal. once the final preparations are complete, there is a big chance for the prime minister and for his colleagues around the world to show they can pull together. but unscripted moments, unplanned for spats could always spoil the show. and laura is in st ives for us this evening. could this trade row overshadowed the start of the summit? big the start of the summit? egg opportunities like the start of the summit? e r opportunities like a summit like also present big risks and is also always possible that a disagreement over that could explode into something that could overshadow some of the events. look, joe biden and borisjohnson have always been strangers at the table when it comes to brexit and downing street won't be remotely surprised that he will tell the uk and the eu that it is about high time that they cracked on and sorted out their stand—off over

the agreement that was done over northern ireland. so it is not going to come as a surprise. whether it makes any difference to the two sides being able to settle their differences is a different question. don't forget, later in the week, borisjohnson will of course also be speaking to leaders like emmanuel macron, angela merkel and some of those conversations could also be quite tricky. but number 10's hope that this week runs much more broadly than any specific although acute problem like what is going on with the northern ireland hangover from the brexit deal, if you like. borisjohnson really from the brexit deal, if you like. boris johnson really says this from the brexit deal, if you like. borisjohnson really says this week as a chance to press refresh on the well�*s biggest democracies and initially and perhaps most importantly, number10 initially and perhaps most importantly, number 10 believes they have a willing partner injoe biden to get that done. if you listen to the kind of language he was using tonight as he arrived on uk soil, i think it is fair to assume that he also sees this week as that kind of

chance, really to show that democracies around the world, when they work together, can get things done. they don'tjust talk to each other, they don'tjust trade and exchange ideas, actually when they pull together, whether on climate or covid or how the economy will recover after this extraordinary year, that rather than just communicating as individuals, as a team, they can actually get things done. that is the scale of downing street's ambition for the next few days. whether the script goes according to plan, well, that is something we will have to monitor. but while these events sometimes, despite the razzmatazz and despite the souped up security, end up feeling a bit like a talking shop, after the stresses and strains of this extraordinary year, it doesn't feel like this summit will be dismissed like that.- dismissed like that. laura kuenssberg, _ dismissed like that. laura kuenssberg, thank - dismissed like that. laura kuenssberg, thank you. l so the venue for the g7

summit is carbis bay — a small seaside village near st ives. it's now surrounded by a ring of steel and thouands of police. jon kay has been talking to some of the people who live there who can't quite believe their eyes. cornwall... you know, that laid—back corner of the country where nothing much happens? st ives doesn't have a police station, but there are now 6,000 officers here from across the uk. they look like they're well prepared and we're putting our lives in their hands. from tomorrow, there will be less of a holiday vibe here. the two hotels, where global leaders will discuss things like the pandemic and the environment, are sealed off. some consider it a waste of money when we've got children going hungry. charles now looks out on a ring of steel. unbelievable, unbelievable. i mean, this is a quiet, residential area, with a school at the top, you know?! a little bit unusual.

what do you make of all this? well, it'sjust going to be so different, isn't it? we're moving away for the weekend! we're moving away. cornwall�*s airborne predators now have some serious competition. there's a radar unit in the national trust car park. and the fishing boats have company. theyjust told me i couldn't go inside a certain area. when this fisherman tried to reach his lobster pots this morning, he was turned back by a warship. were you not given warning about this? none at all, no warning — nothing. we presumed the navy would be coming, for a bit of protection and i fully understand that they need to do that, but they should've really given us a heads up. but some are benefiting. these sisters are providing hampers of cornish products for the vips. for us, the prospect of one of our items ending up in somewhere like the white house is actually

mind—blowing and we can't quite get our head around it. you know, we're only a small shop in st ives, so, for us, this is kind of the biggest thing that could happen for us. spencerjust wants to know how he's going to get his car out. he's turned up from scotland on holiday expecting a sea view, not a summit. we didn't know until we arrived. what, you did not know it was happening? no. what do you make of it? pfft ! some do worry about covid and protests. but next door to the summit there is pride, that cornwall�*s big moment is here. tonight, as the first international delegations arrived here, we had seen roads being closed and lots of police sniffer dogs out. there is a real sense of something big about to happen here. people can't quite believe this site, the parish church

in this village now surrounded by security barriers. there are four different protest zones which have been created in other parts of the south—west, well away from the summit venue itself and the police are hoping that protesters will go to those sites instead of coming here but they say they are prepared for the eventuality, given the profile of this, that lots of people might well intend to get here. for the politicians just down the hill in their meeting rooms for the people around here in their homes it promises to be a tense few days. thank you. the number of people booking a coronavirus vaccine hit a record daily high yesterday, as the system was opened up to people aged between 25 and 29 in england. more than a million appointments forfirst and second doses were booked. it comes as cases continue to rise. more than 7,500 new infections were recorded across the uk in the past 2a hours — the highest daily number since the end of february. our health correspondent, dominic hughes reports from manchester. this is what we're likely to see in hotspot areas

of greater manchester and lancashire in the coming weeks. in bolton, a big push on testing but also vaccinations has succeeded in cutting the infection rate by around a quarter injust ten days. the plan is to replicate that success across the region. here in stockport, in the south of greater manchester, the infection rate has grown by 150% in just a week. now, that's obviously meant some schoolchildren have been sent home, even some businesses have had to close as staff self—isolate. but the really serious impact will be if those infections translate into hospitalisations, if people fall so ill, they end up being admitted. so far, at least, health leaders in greater manchester say the vaccines are keeping the most vulnerable out of hospital. it is now predominantly younger people, who've not had access to vaccines, they're not getting seriously ill, and they're not, in general, ending up in intensive care. because it's generally unvaccinated younger people falling ill with the virus, there have been calls for surge

vaccinations in areas seeing a spike in infections. but the supply of pfizer and moderna, the vaccines used for the under—40s, is limited, so surging in one region may not be possible without causing shortages in another. the good news is that around eight in ten adults in the uk now have coronavirus antibodies, through vaccination or past infection. the figures are 83% for adults in wales, 80% in both england and northern ireland, and slightly lower, 73% in scotland. but there are still many unknowns, with fresh warnings the delta variant, now dominant in the uk, could be 60% more transmissible than the alpha, or kent, variant. we're not out of the woods yet. i think we really need to prioritise getting more vaccines into more people, so that we can deal not only with this variant but with the risks of opening up and continue to move forward and not take a step back. and all of this will play into the government's decision on whether restrictions in england are eased onjune 21st. that will have a real impact on lives and livelihoods,

for those like doug almond, who just wants to see his small chain of family—run pubs in stockport back to full capacity. it's the first thing you think about when you're waking up, are we going back to full strength or not? it really is. if they've got to put the decision back, we understand, but what we really don't want is the ambiguity, stop and start, stop and start. but today the prime minister said there were arguments being made for both pressing ahead and delaying the unlocking. both pressing ahead and delaying the unlockina. ~ ., both pressing ahead and delaying the unlockina. ~ g, g, ., ,, ,, , unlocking. what we need to assess is the extent to — unlocking. what we need to assess is the extent to which _ unlocking. what we need to assess is the extent to which the _ unlocking. what we need to assess is the extent to which the vaccine - the extent to which the vaccine roll—out, which has been phenomenal, has built up enough protection in the population in orderfor us to go ahead to the next stage. getting life back to normal while keeping us all safe, this is a decision that is in the balance. dominic hughes, bbc news, stockport.

the latest official covid figures on the pandemic show that in the past 2a hours, six deaths were reported and there have been 7,540 new infections, which means an average of 5,984 new cases per day in the last week. nearly 137,000 people received a first dose of the vaccine in the latest 2a hour period, meaning more than 40.7 million people have now had theirfirstjab — over 77% of uk adults. more than 313,000 have had their second jab in the past 2a hours, meaning more than 28.5 million have had both doses. over 54% of uk adults are now fully vaccinated. our medical editor fergus walshjoins me now. the prime minister was sounding more downbeat about lifting restrictions? it was just a week ago boris johnson it was just a week ago borisjohnson said he could see nothing in the data that suggested we couldn't go ahead with the final lifting of

restrictions on the 21st. perhaps notable, he didn't say that today but he did mention the rise in cases and hospitalisations in some areas. some are interpreting this as a hint that the lifting might be delayed, perhaps by a few weeks to coincide with the school holidays starting in mid—july. so what in the data has changed? it is all about the rise and rise of the delta variant. professor neil ferguson, one of the most influential scientists modelling the outbreak said there is still a lot we don't know about this variant, it could be between a0 and 80% more transmissible than the alpha all kent variant. he said scientists needed a few more weeks to work out how bad any third wave might be. we know if you are fully immunised you have strong protection against serious covid infection and only a tiny proportion of those being admitted to hospital have had

both doses. delaying unlocking by a few weeks would allow millions more to be double jabbed. but the businesses, theatres, anyone planning a big wedding or wanting their freedoms planning a big wedding or wanting theirfreedoms back, any delay planning a big wedding or wanting their freedoms back, any delay would be a bitter blow.— the old bailey has heard that a 19—year—old man, accused of killing two sisters in wembley, had "promised to sacrifice women" in order to win the lottery. danyal hussein, is on trial for the murders of nicole smallman and bibaa henry in a park a year ago. he denies the murder charges. june kelly has more. last weekend, mina smallman and her family had to face the first anniversary of the deaths of her two daughters. today they came to the old bailey to see a teenager go on trial accused of killing them both. bibaa henry, on the left, died within hours of celebrating her a6th birthday outside in a park during lockdown. her younger sister, nicole smallman, who was 27, was murdered beside her.

their bodies were discovered with their limbs intertwined at fryant country park in wembley in north london. in the dock is 19—year—old danyal hussein. he denies the double murder. prosecutor oliver glasgow qc told the jury he'd made a written pact with the devil, signed in his own blood. it said he would perform a minimum of six sacrifices every six months. "sacrifice only women, build a temple for you to do everything that i have promised." "for me, win the mega millions superjackpot." the court heard that danyal hussein's dna was found on both women's bodies and on a bloodstained knife close by. bibaa henry had been stabbed eight times, nicole smallman had suffered 28 stab wounds, and it appeared she had tried to fight off the attacker.

june kelly, bbc news, at the old bailey. the high court has ruled that the government acted unlawfully when it gave a contract worth more than half—a—million pounds to a company run by friends of dominic cummings, who was borisjohnson's chief adviser at the time. ministers have denied favouritism was shown towards the market research firm, public first, but the court found there was a real danger observers might assume bias, because no other companies were considered for the work. our special correspondent lucy manning is at the high court. what does the ruling mean? is it as labour puts, this is contracts for mates or as government sources suggest, theyjust didn't get round to filing the right paperwork because they were dealing with the covid crisis? the judge at the high court had the final say. she said the government did act unlawfully when they were giving this contractor public fir the

company was run by friends of dominic cummings and they had worked with michael gove although cabinet officials say mr gove was not involved in the decision but his name was all over those legal papers. it is embarrassing for the government because the judge agreed with the campaign group, the good law project, there was this sense of apparent bias, they should have looked at other companies before awarding this half a million pound contract. mr cummings has been tweeting about it and he thinks the judgment is saying, you should have been filling out forms to compare other companies, rather than dealing with the covid crisis. public first says it is proud of the role it played to try and help the country during covid and the cabinet office said thejudge didn't during covid and the cabinet office said the judge didn't find during covid and the cabinet office said thejudge didn't find any actual bias and it has tightened its procedures. but there are more of thesejudgments are due procedures. but there are more of these judgments are due for the government especially on ppe contracts and they might be

uncomfortable as well. lucy, thank ou. new figures show that young people around the world have been hit particularly hard by the impact of the pandemic. globally one—in—six of the under—25s were unemployed at the end of 2020 — double the rate for those over 25. in addition, a billion young people have missed out on education and training. hhere's dharshini david. what's missing from the skies above crawley are planes from neighbouring gatwick. on the ground, that's meant thousands ofjob losses, blowing careers off course. i started an apprenticeship, for business admin level two. due to covid, a month later, my contract was terminated. injuly, ijust thought, i'm going to get made redundant anyway, because that's when they said they were making redundancies, so i went looking for a job myself. i was fortunate enough to be made redundant but then found something almost straightaway, so i'm very thankful for that. they're completing business admin apprenticeships but face uncertainty over what's next. unemployment has tripled in crawley. still got some pain

to come with the unwinding of the furlough scheme. it is going to affect more young people, there will be more young people, sadly, falling out of employment over the next six months or so. youth unemployment has risen particularly sharply in crawley. across the country, one in seven young people are now out of a job. it's even worse in some popular summer spots. cadiz in southern spain should be a three—hour hop from gatwick, but there's currently no direct flights. the blow to tourism comes as the shipbuilding and aviation industries also struggle. engineering graduate carmen is finishing an apprenticeship in naval architecture, but she may not even secure bar work. at least here in cadiz, most of my friends are really frustrated. the onlyjobs that they are required for are internships. so most of them are angry and frustrated, because they have been working already, they have a bit of experience,

and they are still required to be paid less. globally, more than a billion under—25s have had their education, employment or training interrupted. but the battle so far has prioritised protecting physical health of the elderly and vulnerable. the brunt of this is being borne by young people to some extent, because they are the ones who need those early opportunities. so it's in the interests of not widening inequality in society as a whole that more of an effort is made. what are the risks if those who can make a difference, policymakers, businesses, ignore that kind of advice? well, we are throwing away the potential of 1.8 billion young people. these women hope their work will pay off, but disruption at the start of careers can blight fortunes for decades to come. and there's no silver bullet. dharshini david, bbc news. there's a different version of events tonight

from a buckingham palace source and the duke and duchess of sussex over the naming of their new born daughter lilibet. it comes after a buckingham palace source told the bbc that the queen was never asked by prince harry and meghan for permission to use her childhood nickname. but now, the duke and duchess of sussex have issued a legal warning to some reporters covering the story. our royal correspondent, jonny dymond, is here. two sides, two versions of events. two very different versions and both centring around the issue of the naming of their newborn child, lilibet. lilibet was the nickname of the queen when she was a child. it was given to her by george v. it is a name close relatives use, it is a very personal to her. after meghan and harry said they were going to call their little girl lilibet, sources close to prince harry thought he had gained the permission

from the queen to use the name. no, he did not palace source told the bbc, she was never asked for her permission. a spokesman for harry said he had brought this up early with the clean and specifically mentioned the issue of lilibet and had she not been supportive, they would not have used the name. at the same time, harry and meghan have instructed their lawyers to send out letters to various different news outlets saying that what the buckingham palace source told the bbc was false and defamatory and the news outlets should not repeat the allegations. news outlets should not repeat the alleuations. ., ~ news outlets should not repeat the alleuations. . ~ , g, meanwhile the queen has been presented with a rose on the eve of what would have been prince philips 100th birthday. the duke of edinburgh rose, a gift from the royal horticultural society, has already been planted in the gardens at windsor castle and sales of it will benefit the duke of edinburgh award scheme. the euros finally get under way on friday — a whole year late because of the pandemic — with wales and england playing at the weekend and scotland in action on monday.

the month long tournament will see 2a teams take part in 51 games in 11 cities across europe. our sports editor, dan roan, reports. it's a tournament that's given football some of its most unforgettable moments. oh, i say, what a goal! the euros may have been delayed by a year, but finally they're about to begin. and one man who scored in two consecutive european championships can't wait. we all look forward to a summer of a major tournament, and this, we've been made to wait quite a while for this one, so we're all excited. 2a teams will compete for european football's greatest prize. wales are in group a, while england and scotland are grouped together and will meet next week. for the first time, the tournament is being spread across the continent, with 11 host cities. wembley will host eight matches, including the semifinal and final. but covid remains the number—one concern — preparations for spain's opener against sweden already in chaos, with players from both teams testing positive and forced to isolate. the biggest concern for me is that we do not have a team
