president biden and the first lady have arrived in the uk for this week's g7 summit. addressing us troops at an airbase, he said the united states was ready to lead an unrivalled network of alliances with strength. white house sources confirmed that the us had reached an agreement with pfizer to provide 500 million doses of coronavirus vaccine to about 100 countries over the next year. the eu says its patience is "wearing very thin" with the uk in talks aimed at avoiding a trade war over border checks with northern ireland. the uk says it is ready to ignore the rules to prevent further disruption. a court in moscow has branded three organisations linked to jailed anti—corruption campaigner alexei navalny as "extremist". they've been banned with immediate effect.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are lizzy burden, economics reporter for bloomberg, and faiza shaheen, political commentator and former labour parliamentary candidate and non—resident fellow at new york university. let's ta ke let's take a look at our front pages. many of the papers are looking ahead to the g7, including the ft, which says president biden will put pressure on borisjohnson to end the stalemate between the uk and eu over northern ireland trade. billing an exclusive, the times leads on an angle on the same story. it reports that in a meeting last week, the president asked us officials to issue a "diplomatic reprimand" over their stance in the talks. meanwhile, the telegraph sees the two leaders being more agreed on what it understands will be

a joint pledge to restart air travel between the us and uk in the coming months. that has been confirmed by uk government statements tonight. the telegraph's lead is that 150 oxford lecturers are refusing to teach students at 0riel college in protest at their decision to keep the controversial rhodes statue. the is front page looks at the next stage of lockdown easing, saying it's looking more likely the prime minister will delay a loosening of restrictions. meanwhile, the metro leads on the trial over the deaths of bibaa henry and nicole smallman last year. daniel hussein denies the charges. the guardian features comments from care home providers that health secretary matt hancock was warned of the risks of not testing hospital patients before they were discharged into care homes. so, we're just so, we'rejust going so, we're just going to so, we'rejust going to keep an

so, we're just going to keep an eye on what's happening at new kr port. that's the scene. it looks as though air force one is there. —— at newquay. that was air force two. although it's a relatively small airport, it's got plenty of space for such a large plane. the president won't be transferred by road. it's likely to be a bit more airfor road. it's likely to be a bit more air for travel. road. it's likely to be a bit more airfortravel. he road. it's likely to be a bit more air for travel. he staying at a castle we're told before joining the delegates for g7 later this week. he begins with a buy bilateral meeting with boris johnson begins with a buy bilateral meeting with borisjohnson on thursday, so getting on 25 to midnight, so the bidens will be glad to get to their room and get a bit of rest before a busy few days in cornwall tomorrow. let's return to the papers. if we hear anything more from president

biden, we'll bring it to you. let's go back to the united states and we'll get faiza to fark on the first of our papers, and that's the daily mail. —— to start. why so glum, boris? daily mail. -- to start. why so slum. boris?— daily mail. -- to start. why so glum, boris? daily mail. -- to start. why so alum, boris? . ,, . ., glum, boris? classic front page with the story about _ glum, boris? classic front page with the story about harry _ glum, boris? classic front page with the story about harry and _ glum, boris? classic front page with the story about harry and meghan. i the story about harry and meghan. the story here is about two pieces of news that have come in at —— come out. people signing up for vaccines and opened up the under 30s. there is news that the jabs are breaking that link between infections and hospitalisations, serious illness and the economy bouncing back well. the question the daily mail exposing is really why is the government

they've been very, very strict here. so, they have to be very careful in that regard. there is vaccine hesitancy here, but they have been very quick and getting the vaccines in terms of this three or four week wave between the two vaccines. i've already had both my vaccines, but i was just cold in the last couple weeks, so there is a disparity in that way that i think is quite clear. it's very open. lizzy, the great british bruiser, as i think they call it, the great british boozer. the daily mirror is running a save our pubs campaign. this is a familiar ring, the battle to say our great british boozer —

i'll say it again. it’s to say our great british boozer - i'll say it again.— i'll say it again. it's one of the treat i'll say it again. it's one of the great institutions _ i'll say it again. it's one of the great institutions of _ i'll say it again. it's one of the great institutions of our - i'll say it again. it's one of the i great institutions of our country like the — great institutions of our country like the post box in the photo box. it like the post box in the photo box. it means— like the post box in the photo box. it means so— like the post box in the photo box. it means so much to make sure the pubs _ it means so much to make sure the pubs a _ it means so much to make sure the pubs a stay, — it means so much to make sure the pubs a stay, but as i say, if the june _ pubs a stay, but as i say, if the june 21— pubs a stay, but as i say, if the june 21 reopening doesn't happen, there's— june 21 reopening doesn't happen, there's a _ june 21 reopening doesn't happen, there's a risk that a fifth of pubs face closure. that's what the minors _ face closure. that's what the mirror's saying. it's brought a campaign _ mirror's saying. it's brought a campaign to keep one particular pub, i campaign to keep one particular pub, i should _ campaign to keep one particular pub, i should shout out, a lancashire puh _ i should shout out, a lancashire puh at— i should shout out, a lancashire pub. at least 70,000 pubs —— 75. it's pub. at least 70,000 pubs —— 75. it's not _ pub. at least 70,000 pubs —— 75. it's notiust— pub. at least 70,000 pubs —— 75. it's notjust this pub, it's hospitality. the treasury select committee was told that half a million — committee was told that half a millionjobs in that industry committee was told that half a million jobs in that industry are committee was told that half a millionjobs in that industry are at risk if— millionjobs in that industry are at risk if the — millionjobs in that industry are at risk if the reopening doesn't go ahead — risk if the reopening doesn't go ahead and the furlough scheme ended. they were _ ahead and the furlough scheme ended. they were saying if one landlord is really _ they were saying if one landlord is

compromised. yeah, i'm sorry... | there's been a problem with pubs closing at any case. so, making it harder to change the use and the planning use of pubs. i do think this is a really important time to be creative. they are thinking about publicly, and these are community spaces. 0ne publicly, and these are community spaces. one thing i've noticed here is that they've done things like shut off streets, created more outside environments to keep these hospitality restaurants, pubs, other things open and lively. given the summer, there are probably creative solutions around this.— solutions around this. lizzy, last thou:ht. solutions around this. lizzy, last thought- it's _ solutions around this. lizzy, last thought. it's not _ solutions around this. lizzy, last thought. it's not the _ solutions around this. lizzy, last thought. it's not the only - solutions around this. lizzy, last i thought. it's not the only problem the 're thought. it's not the only problem they're facing- _ thought. it's not the only problem they're facing. it _ thought. it's not the only problem they're facing. it cost _ thought. it's not the only problem they're facing. it cost more - thought. it's not the only problem they're facing. it cost more with i they're facing. it cost more with they're facing. it cost more with the table — they're facing. it cost more with the table service, and the industry is also _ the table service, and the industry is also fated thing labour shortage

very hard when you have a big family. to allow people to have weddings. there is a point about hugging people. sensible rules around that, but how people would get married without having a drink or two, get married without having a drink ortwo, hugging get married without having a drink or two, hugging and get married without having a drink ortwo, hugging and i get married without having a drink or two, hugging and i think it would be quite difficult on that side. i think practical terms, this is a problem. there are people who find themselves in a very difficult position. we saw some sturry earlier about the undertakers being prosecuted because they allowed to many people into a cremation against the rules —— some stories. at a wedding, you don't really want to be the steward or the manager of the hotel or even, goodness me, the vicar who has to say do you mind not come touching that person? it's really difficult. and it should be a happy occasion. i

cornish night in the shadow of air force one. that enormous plan that's the travelling office for the president. he brings a whole fleet of vehicles, including perhaps as a result of the assassination of kennedy an attempt on reagan, a fully stocked medical facility. kennedy an attempt on reagan, a fully stocked medicalfacility. phil had on their preparation in washington. —— they will have done. we hope it's not, they have to have the facilities available. the honour guard is lined up for some here comes president biden and the first lady at his side, mrs biden. here we are, they've arrived at cornwall. the second stage of their first international. protocol demands they will be greeted as they arrived by

the british government's representative, and there is an honour guard. whether or not they will played hail to the chief or stars... there's certainly an honour guard. not his first visit to the uk. he has been many times both as chairman of the foreign affairs committee in the us senate and then as vice president to 0bama for eight years. he is perhaps one of the most experienced foreign policy specialists in federal politics, and national politics in the united states, and he brings that experience to his presidency at the g7. it's borisjohnson who is the presence of the us president is usually important. it is not presence of the us president is usually impor and it is not presence of the us president is usually impor and reminders the opportunities and reminders of the

special so, we have the peace agreement. so, we have the troops, the honour guard lined up. it takes... i assume that is the mayor of newquay, i can't say for sure. but a pretty good guess.

probably the biggest event to happen at newquay airport in many years. not the sort of flight that normally turns up, but this was one of the airports worried about the effect of the collapse of one of the biggest regional airline operators. flights between england and continental europe. a number of airports have closed in that region, including plymouth airport, so newquay is a very important regional link. and it was to the rest of europe, and ryanair has taken on some of those flights that were... when the previous carrier was unable to continue its business. here we have president andjill continue its business. here we have president and jill biden, the first lady, on uk soil as they were earlier this evening. nonetheless, it's important they will spend a few

days and hopefully a chance for them to enjoy some cornish hospitality and some good weather and a pastel. what's going to be watch more carefully is what passes their lips in terms of what the president says. will he be critical of boris johnson? will he — the times is saying biden is acute injohnson in inflaming irish tensions. whether that story is accurate, as the times says it is, we might get a flavour of that in the meeting that is taking place on thursday between president biden and a borisjohnson is already in cornwall. he did a briefing with journalists earlier today. there's been talk of more money for cornwall trade and there will be a lot of focus on cornwall.

0f will be a lot of focus on cornwall. of course, this is not a bad way of promoting tourism in the uk too, in particular, america and japan, because the japanese prime minister will be attending this summit, along with justin will be attending this summit, along withjustin trudeau from canada and angela merkel, a manual background —— emmanuel macron, and the president of the european council. and ursula von der leyen. they also have a full status attending this event, so there's to be a lot of people who could put some pressure on borisjohnson during the course of the next few days. it seems that president biden is going to be taking their side. the president is due to status shortly off to his castle where he gets to spend the night. hopefully he will get a few hours of much—needed sleep for preparing for his bilateral with borisjohnson on thursday. ahead of

the formal proceedings on friday. they begin again on sunday afternoon —— until sunday afternoon. there he goes, president biden and first lady jill biden, waving to our camera crews. to see them off. that's the last i think we'll see of president joe biden. let's return to the papers. it's appropriate that we stopped there because the last stories i wanted to talk about, anyone would think we would plan this. the coverage of the biden trip. faiza, do you want to start with the times story suggesting that this formal diplomatic review was issued to the government. not an encouraging start to the bilateral. no, it's quite extraordinary. it's

very rare this is issued between two allies and it really shows the strength of feeling and that biden has on this issue in terms of peace in northern ireland. his willingness to push the uk and took declare how he feels. i was thinking about how different biden is to borisjohnson in many ways in terms of what he's trying to do naturally and what he's trying to do naturally and what he's trying to do naturally and what he's trying to say to the world —— nashe nationally. we have a president that is very keen to talk about racism in the us, talking about getting more vaccines to the rest of the world. in contrast, we have borisjohnson — cutting development aid, various issues with the culture war, not being able to bring up racism in the uk. i'm interested in how that relationship will work and how the

conversations will go because they haven't been here for the last... very different types and saying very different things to the world and their contributions.— different things to the world and their contributions. what about the issue itself? _ their contributions. what about the issue itself? inflaming _ their contributions. what about the issue itself? inflaming irish - issue itself? inflaming irish tensions is one thing to accuse them of. on the other side, the europeans have complained that they think this is almost manufactured, trying to create a justification for maybe walking away from the northern ireland protocol, given the pressures. the substance will surprise people that an argument between the uk about food standards, when we've onlyjust left the eu and our food standards are pretty much the same, even though we no longer follow, there's not a lot of change. therefore, it should create such a difficult and tractable issue. i5 difficult and tractable issue. is notjust about sausages,

the papers. coming up next is the weather and that's it from lizzy and faiza. i'll be back at midnight with a full summary of the news. stay with us. hello. two main points to take from our forecast for the next five days. number one — there is very little rain on the way for the uk as a whole, and number two — temperatures will be sitting above average for the majority of us in the days ahead. the reason for this weather, this ridge of high pressure which extends up from the azores. we will see various weather fronts trying to push their way into the northwest. there'll be some rain for the northern isles on thursday. more cloud around in general and some patchy, light rain possible around western coasts and hills, often quite mucky and murky here with mist and fog as well. best of the sunshine on thursday will be for central and eastern england. quite windy to the north.

that could break the cloud up quite nicely across eastern scotland, seeing temperatures up to 23 around the moray firth. further south, 2a—25 across central and eastern england. 0vernight thursday into friday, we do start to see a weather front having a bit more success working its way south across the uk, but not bearing anything significant in the way of rain. it basicallyjust introduces some slightly lower humidity here, so slightly less muggy across the northern half of the uk first thing on friday. to the south, still a warm and humid start, and a cold weather front works its way south through the day, but you can barely make it out. it's essentially a few showers drifting their way south across england and wales. the odd one may be sharper, but certainly, the majority of places will stay dry. ahead of the front, still looking at temperatures in the mid—20s, a little down on thursday thanks to more cloud. to the north, it will feel fresher, but temperatures still into the high teens, even the low 20s. and then, through the weekend, the high pressure plumbs us

into a more southerly airstream once again. it keeps things fine and it also bumps those temperatures back up after that brief dip behind the cold front on friday. there's what's left of the cold front heading off into the continent. here is saturday. aside from a bit of cloud across western scotland and perhaps northern ireland, wall—to—wall sunshine and temperatures above average across the uk. for sunday, just the chance of a little more in the way of rain getting pushed in on the front to western scotland. elsewhere, though, again, a lot of dry weather. sunday, if anything, the warmest of the two days. eastern scotland up to 2a, perhaps close to 30 in the southeast.
