and grab the popcorn and settle in, new york is hosting the tribeca film festival — with a blockbuster roll—out of the much—anticipated film �*in the heights.�* hello and welcome to the programme. president biden has arrived in the uk for the g7 summit. he began his first overseas trip with a rallying cry for the world's democracies — insisting the united states was back after the trump years. within the last few minutes, air force one has arrived in cornwall where the summit is taking place. he will meet the prime minister, borisjohnson at carbis bay on thursday, before the summit begins on friday.

our north america editor jon sopel has this report on the start of the us president's visit. for the first time since becoming 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 to 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. please, at ease. i keep forgetting i'm president. america is back on a role of global leadership, he told them. at every 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. whether 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 in geneva with the russian president. i'm heading to the g7 and then the nato ministerial and then to meet with mr putin to let him know what i want him to know. applause. one domestic issue wherejoe biden can be expected to weigh in is on northern ireland, where the us is watching with some unease british attempts to amend or renegotiate the northern ireland protocol that puts a de facto borderfor trade between mainland britain and the province. the us says the achievements of

the 1998 good friday agreement have played such a decisive role in bringing peace to northern ireland and must not be put in jeopardy. whatever way they find to proceed must at its core fundamentally protect the gains of the good friday agreement and not imperil that and that is the message president biden will send when he is in cornwall. and if he had any indication it would imperil the good friday agreement, would that jeopardise a future us — uk trade deal? i don't want to sit here today and negotiate in public around linkage or make some claim or threat. i would just say our concern runs very deep on the northern ireland issue. the g7 leaders will be relieved to see a more familiar style of american president — less isolationist, more supportive of international bodies. but there is also concern about how reliable a partner the us will be in the long term, how much longer the us can be seen as the pre—eminent superpower. joe biden has his work cut out.

jon sopel, bbc news. the eu has doubled down on its threat to take action against the uk — after talks about the implementation of post—brexit trading arrangements in northern ireland ended without a breakthrough. at the heart of the row is the brexit deal�*s northern ireland protocol — which allows for border checks on goods going into the area from the rest of the uk. but as he arrived in cornwall ahead of the g7 conference — prime minister borisjohnson said a resolution to the row was "easily doable" 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 boris johnson 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. let s get some of the day's other news.

a court in moscow has branded three organisations linked to jailed anti—corruption campaigner alexei navalny as "extremist". a statement by the moscow city court said navalny�*s regional network offices and his anti—corruption organisation had been labelled extremist and banned with immediate effect. a russian student held in minsk has sent three letters to her mother, their first communication since belarus diverted an aircraft to arrest herjournalist boyfriend. sofiya sapega asks her mother not to blame her partner roman protasevich for her plight. she says she's not giving in. dozens of iraqis in baghdad have been giving blood samples in the hope of identifying relatives of an islamic state massacre at a jail in 2014. the murder of around 600, mainly shia, detainees at badush prison was one of thejihadi groups biggest attacks. a buckingham palace source has told the bbc that the queen was "never

asked" for permission by prince harry and meghan to name their daughter lilibet, which was the queen's childhood nickname.?earlier today, the law firm schillings —which acts for the couple — has written to some news organisations saying that claim is false and defamatory. our royal correspondentjonny dymond says that two different versions of events had emerged: maybe it's an issue of interpretation. but let's rack back a bit. sunday night, we get an announcement from harry and meghan about the naming of their second child, their daughter, who will be lilibet diana mountbatten windsor. lilibet, as you say, is the queen's childhood nickname given to her by her grandfather and used by her closest relatives. the name she used on the funeral wreath of her dearest friend, one of her dearest friends, earl mountbatten. it means a lot, lilibet. over the next couple of days, stories start to come out from various different sources citing generally friends of prince harry that the queen

has given permission for lilibet to be used, and then, as you mention, a palace source told the bbc that she was never asked. within hours, there was a response from harry and meghan�*s spokesperson, who said that harry had spoken to his grandmother, the queen as the first person to tell about the baby before the announcement was made that he had shared their hope of naming their daughter lilibet and that had she not been supportive, then they would not have used the name. so, two pretty contradictory accounts of what happened. the palace, a palace source at least, very keen to set the record straight as they saw it, and equally, harry and meghan are very firm that they thought that they had gone through all of the proprieties involved. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: heading back to the movies. new york plays host

to the tribeca film festival — and the premier of the much—anticipated �*in the heights.�* the day the british liberated the falklands and by tonight british troops had begun the task of disarming the enemy. in the heart of the west german capital, this was gorbimania at its height. the crowd packed seeing the man who has raised great hopes for an end to the division of europe. it happened as the queen moved towards horse's guard parade for the start of trooping the colour. the queen looks worried, but recovers quickly. as long as the pay to go . see me, i will get out there

presents an opportunity for these world leaders should they choose to take it. i these world leaders should they choose to take it.— choose to take it. i think that at . choose to take it. i think that a try- at _ choose to take it. i think that a try- at the _ choose to take it. i think that a try. at the bottom - choose to take it. i think that a try. at the bottom line - choose to take it. i think that a try. at the bottom line is i a try. at the bottom line is this will be the first normal g7 we've had in four years. —— thatis g7 we've had in four years. —— that is right. the trumpet ariel was abnormal. —— the trump period. the walked away from many of its allies and gathering such as this. so i think the opportunity now lies under president by the opportunity now lies under president biden and his leadership and the host country to turn this into something significant in their response across it world given the enormous amount was to exist in the developing world in particular, economic recovery and financial stability, climate change and of course the continuing geostrategic challenges trying to balance it for the climate change in terms of the message do as i say. fir of the message do as i say. or as i do, doesn't help that we have these events were enormous

china. so at that level, it is also really important.- china. so at that level, it is also really important. you make also really important. you make a very good _ also really important. you make a very good important _ also really important. you make a very good important point - a very good important point because china is an absent friend at this event but a hugely important one. obviously as a rival or strategic terms for the united states but also as an ally on this question of climate change, where clearly joe biden objective's depend a lot on chinese corporations and we had a commitment made by president shejinping in september last year that has got a huge potential if it is delivered —— president xi jinping. delivered -- president xi jinina. ., delivered -- president xi jinuin, ., ., jinping. you are right. therefore _ jinping. you are right. therefore with - jinping. you are right. therefore with the - jinping. you are right. i therefore with the china relationship with the united states, but also china relationship with the europeans in japan and relationship with the europeans injapan and others like australia. it is a variable many years, with the international relations scholars will call a variable geometry. you will need radical differences on the question of taiwan from east china sea, south china sea, and xinjiang.

and what is called economic corrosion for the but of the other hand, you will have those areas where their plaintiff demands that china and the us work hand in glove and that is climate, so the ability therefore to were g7 to walk and chew gum at the same time on the geopolitical and human rights radical differences g7 with china on the one hand while still working collaterally with climate change is part of the necessary outcome. i think political leadership gathering will be capable of doing that. you mentioned _ capable of doing that. you mentioned australia - capable of doing that. you mentioned australia and then theissues mentioned australia and then the issues of climate change where the australian government takes a different position and the other governments were trying to push it more towards their side of the equation. what about the australia position on covid? it has achieved considerable, a melbourne is amazing the latest lockdown by broadly speaking australia and new zealand have achieved very strong position in terms of coping necklace that we for the federal

government saying we will not open up internationally itself the second half of 2022. the think that is the right approach? are the areas of concern you have for that in terms of reintegrating australia and its neighbouring country new zealand to the international travel and tourism and economy? i think ou are tourism and economy? i think you are right _ tourism and economy? i think you are right to _ tourism and economy? i think you are right to say _ tourism and economy? i think you are right to say that - tourism and economy? i think you are right to say that newl you are right to say that new zealand prime minister led the way in terms of early national action and border closures and the rest in dealing with the unfolding pandemic last year. the australian government under mr morrison rapidly followed suit for the as a result, the net impact of this country and in new zealand in terms of number of deaths and hospitalisations and the rest of it has been relatively low. but there is a reason that. that is by and large the public health professionals and achievement of the officers have directed the traffic both in new zealand and the australian the six states as part of our federation. where

the chief medical officers have basically determined what should happen in terms of lockdowns, border closures and progress. if therefore you have politicians like me, a former politicians like me, a former politician saying that the best time to reopen the border it is on x date, that i think the parts from myself are successful script, which is how medical experts say that the best time to do this is follow circumstances and for the political class to follow the medical advice. political class to follow the medicaladvice. i political class to follow the medical advice. i think that is what succeeded here so far, and i will be reluctant to gainsay the medical officers opinion wilt when it comes to the reopening of our international borders. pm reopening of our international borders. �* ., ., borders. an elegant and diplomatic _ borders. an elegant and diplomatic answer. - borders. an elegant and | diplomatic answer. when borders. an elegant and - diplomatic answer. when cutting problem with the essence of it except that usually are often as we found the uk over the last year or so medical advice gives you a kind of a range of options and everything if he says you do this that will be that. and so on. ijudgements are these of the key options were in the end, prime minister mr president, it is your call.

life played by anthony ramos who has been winning strong reviews. it's a film that really celebrates the latino community, long underrepresented in mainstream cinema. the hope for me is that in five years, people go, "why was in the heights such a big deal? we have ten latino movies every year now." that would be a dream come true. to be quaint would be a dream come true. it's just the opening act of this year's tribeca film festival, which is marking the 20th anniversary and making its presence felt all over the city. in the coming days some 60 full—length features will be shown at outdoor locations and made available virtually as well. it has been billed as the first in person film festival in north america since the pandemic hit the continent. the line—up is socially aware — black stories and storytellers are very present in a section devoted to juneteenth. several films have an arab focus, with films made by women of colour and lgbt film—makers.

and there's a special documentary on the late chef anthony bourdain. robert de niro sees his festival with the broad slate bringing the city together after the upheaval of the pandemic and social tumult of the last year. film is a way of creating that, promoting that, the idea tom brooks reporting there. let's return to our top story. the arrival of presidentjoe biden and his first overseas trip since taking office in january last year along with the first lady. he arrived in cornwall in the southwest of england. he will be attending the g7 summit as a guest of the british prime minister boris johnson along with leaders of canada, germany and other countries as well. just from the eus well. top of the internet will be a bilateral meeting of the british prime minister thursday and wednesday are expected to discuss the

northern isla protocol and the tensions between the eu and the uk government. it kicks off on friday. —— northern ireland protocol. you are watching bbc news. 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, 21t—25 across central and eastern england. overnight 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.
