this is bbc news. i'm shaun ley with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. from the white house to the west of england — president biden meets with britain's prime minister in cornwall, using his first overseas trip to give new meaning to an old relationship. there's so much they want to do together with us. from security, nato, to climate change. it is fantastic. it is a breath of fresh air. with all eyes on cornwall — president biden announces the us will donate half a billion doses of the pfizer jab to help poorer countries get their populations vaccinated. america will be the arsenal of vaccines and our of vaccines in our fight against covid—19.

just as america was the arsenal of democracy during world war ii. excitement in rome where the european championship finals are set to kick off on friday, with italy playing turkey. and — spectacular skies — as star gazers across the northern hemisphere — are treated to a partial eclipse of the sun. hello and welcome. the uk prime minister boris johnson has held his first face to face meeting with president biden ahead of the g7 summit in cornwall and committed to working together on a number of global challenges. the two leaders also discussed post—brexit trade problems in northern ireland — after mr biden warned that the uk's dispute

with the eu over border controls must not put the peace process at risk. our political editor laura kuenssberg reports. quite the hello. the american president, the new mrsjohnson. the prime minister hosting this new quartet. no handshakes, the era doesn't allow. but a historic bump, the first lady's description. after a stroll on this exclusive cornish beach, the preamble before the politics. are you pleased to be here, mr president? i'm very pleased to be here. they have may roles scripted by their countries shared histories but these pair seem determined to be friends. it's a great pleasure to welcome you to cornwall. i told him we both married way above our station. i'm not going to dissent

from that one, i'm not going to disagree on that or anything else. they want progress on policy, on covid, on climate, but more than anything to prove coming together counts, but there is clamour, american alarm over how brexit is affecting northern ireland, so what was the verdict after the first encounter? clearly you had high hopes for this relationship, how were the talks? they were great and it's an incredibly important strategic relationship and the talks were very good and there's no question that under president biden there is a massive amount that the new us administration wants to do together with the uk on everything from security, working together on all the issues of projecting our values around the world together, but also on climate change, so it's a big breath of fresh air. one of the things the us

clearly wants you to do is sort out the problem with the northern ireland protocol. did president biden urge you to crack on with that? no, he didn't, but what i can say is that america, the united states, washington, the uk, plus the european union, have one thing we absolutely all want to do and that is to uphold the good friday, the belfast good friday agreement. there will be tricky conversations to come though, yet there is no question this summit by the sands marks a shift, the two leaders�* partners barefoot on the beach, the start of something after the horror of the pandemic that washed over the world, a new american leader more interested in partnership than provocation, willing to lavish praise notjust on the shared past but to lay hope to what lies ahead. this is a crucial diplomatic outing for the guest as well as the host. prime minister winston churchill and president franklin roosevelt signed an agreement known as the atlantic charter.

it was a statement of first principles, a promise that the united kingdom and the united states would meet the challenges of their age and they would meet it together. today, we build on that commitment. we discharged and discussed a broad range of issues on which the united kingdom and the united states are working in very close cooperation. we affirmed the special relationship, it's not said lightly, the special relationship between our people. the prime minister even once a new and improved phrase to describe that friendship, but today's diplomatic outing gives a firm foundation for an important week. any first meeting between a british prime minister and an american president would fill a page in our history and these two men have talked with conviction about the values that they share, but that's not the same as what their partnership might actually achieve, nor does it mask any areas where they might disagree.

and even the warmest of warm ups is just a start. other leaders are touching down tonight. there can be friction between friends but meaningful agreement needs more than ambition to get everything in line. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, cornwall. felicia wong is from the roosevelt institute think tank. she says the relationship between the uk and us remains strong. i think it is very encouraging that your prime minister and my president began their conversation today with the same kind of agreement that franklin roosevelt and winston churchill had almost 80 years ago. because they really talked about strong governments and re—establishing trust between governments and citizens and of course these are democratic principles, but critically these are important principles for our economic future and i believe that is a lot of what they will be talking about in the upcoming g7 meetings. upcoming g7 meeting.

it is logical to see injoe biden's political philosophy set out so recently during the us presidential election that he is somebody who thinks there are a lot of these areas that need urgent repair. borisjohnson comes from a different political tradition. he's a child of thatcherism. he believes that nihilism has been successful in driving economic growth and encouraging freedom. he's a big civil libertarian in that sense or at least one might even go to say a libertarian. will those policies continue to see eye to eye given the challenges the planet now faces? i think both leaders share a common interest. i think they both recognise that we can and need to move from a very thin version of globalisation, the old washington consensus from the 1980s which was about

trade and globalisation for self—sake to something that a number of us hope will be considered a cornwall consensus. which is really about governments cooperating to solve real problems for real people. i think it would be in prime ministerjohnson's interest for a cornwall consensus and i can guarantee you it is in america's interest to really have this kind of pro—public health joint efforts to fight against climate change approach. i hope we see that. we have climate change and the commitment of vaccines and distributing vaccines for reasons of enlightened self interest, not only is a morally good but it serves your own interests if the whole world is vaccinated but what about the difficult areas like taxation? these are not easily solved this by the g7 itself. they aren't but it won't be solved unless we have g7 cooperation. i was really pleased to see us treasury secretary janet yellin lead the conversation a few days ago and ultimately

to have all finance ministers agree on the importance of fiscal fairness. and a global minimum tax. this is a win—win. all governments need to make sure we don't have tax avoidance and that we do have revenues to invest in our people. so this kind of global minimum tax agreement reforms to the wto, which i think are in our collective self interest and of course agreement on things like more robust supply chains and critical components like semiconductors or advanced pharmaceutical ingredients, pharmaceutical ingredients. the panel that i served on, the panel on economic resilience, really did focus on agreement for all of these things. i am optimistic still leaders will accept our recommendation in the days ahead. our north america editor, jon sopel, is in tregenna with more on what he learnt

about the meeting between the two leaders. the northern heilan subjects it's interesting because it seems the white house doesn't distinguish between the good friday agreement that was signed in 1998 in the northern ireland protocol. that potentially is a big problem for the british government but i'm told thatjoe biden was in no way didactics. he was very accommodating and there were the feeling that there is progress to be madejoe biden will be watching this closely but i think on the british side there was some relief about the way that the meeting went on that subject. joe biden is also here to show global leadership that america is back and that the democracies are notjust surviving their flourishing and i think you have to see the announcement of these 500 million pfizer vaccines to go to the poorest countries in the world as hard as that. as a rejoinder to china and russia and what they have been doing. this is vaccine diplomacy and it might seem ugly to be competitive over it but that is what is going on. i should also say a little while ago i was in a bar sitting on the patio when

something happened that doesn't really happen every evening. how is it going, mr president? are you enjoying it here? i am are you en'oying it here? i am en'o in: are you enjoying it here? i am enjoying the — are you enjoying it here? i am enjoying the walk. _ are you enjoying it here? i am enjoying the walk. we - are you enjoying it here? i am enjoying the walk. we could . are you enjoying it here? i am| enjoying the walk. we could do with more _ enjoying the walk. we could do with more sunshine. _ enjoying the walk. we could do with more sunshine. boy, - enjoying the walk. we could do with more sunshine. boy, i- enjoying the walk. we could do with more sunshine. boy, i tell ou. with more sunshine. boy, i tell yom have _ with more sunshine. boy, i tell yom have a — with more sunshine. boy, i tell you. have a good _ with more sunshine. boy, i tell you. have a good evening, - with more sunshine. boy, i tell you. have a good evening, sir. | us crosta cornwall now. this is the arrival of the japan prime minister was had a very long flight from tokyo. —— let us cross to cornwall. it is just after midnight uk time. it is friday morning. he will not get a lot of sleep before the sessions begin on friday morning. but he has been greeted formally by representatives of the british government and local dignitaries and the british military as well. he is following on other leaders have

children are among those injured and dead. that collapse occurred just before midnight. "the sound was so loud we immediately knew something terrible had happened and we rushed out of our homes," says this man. the search for survivors continued into the morning. the building was in a congested area, a shantytown, which made rescue operations even harder. six children of the owner of the building and his wife are still trapped under the rubble, he's inconsolable, said this woman, a neighbour of the family. over the past two days, mumbai has been hit with heavy rains. not a year goes by without a fatal collapse in the city during this season. while rainfall is a factor, many say it is the quality of construction, unfit to withstand the monsoon that takes people's lives.

police say they will act against those responsible for this collapse. yogita limaye, bbc news. a bbc investigation has revealed that at least 13 thousand sex offences by under 18 year olds were reported to police in england and wales every year from 2018 to 2020. around a thousand of them took place on school premises. it comes as the school's watchdog ofsted found that nine in ten girls experience some form of sexual harrassment from their peers — with students often not reporting the abuse. our education editor branwenjeffreys reports. every day in every place, girls are facing sexual pressure — being touched, asked to share nude photos, their bodies rated and shared on social media. we are pressured to send nude pictures or we are pressured to just accept this sexual harassment that we deal with. it's become so normalised that we don't. . .we just disregard it and we don't speak

up about it. at a sixth form today, girls told me about the impact on their lives. every day, women are harassed, if it's on social media, if it's in school, sometimes even on the way back from school. we're just followed by it every day, everywhere, 2a/7. the girls can feel anxious about this. theyjust are feeling depressed because they don't have what other girls can have. most of the time boys just . laugh about it and just make jokes and they don't think it's really serious. - if you think this has always happened in the lives of young people, think again, because technology and social media have created spaces out of the view of parents and teachers where a young girl can be pestered by up to a dozen boys in one evening to take nude photos, images which can then be distributed in seconds to hundreds of others. they said that these things are completely normal,

that they don't...often don't even challenge or complain about them because they think it's just just something that is part of life. so, in a sense, they're not complaining about adults not understanding, they'rejust taking it as a matter of course, which is horrible. it's shocking that young girls should be taking...being sent explicit images. each year, at least 13,000 serious allegations reach the police in england and wales. our investigation found 2,000 of these were in children aged ten or younger. this is a challenge for every school and every college. it is not acceptable and we have to start with that point of zero tolerance. and this ultimately comes back down to respect. and that is, again, a key facet of how we tackle this. people have got to understand that the behaviours have got consequences, and they need to think about their actions. while they're raising their eyes to the future, young women fear younger girls face ever increasing pressure. branwen jeffreys, bbc news.

the uefa euro 2020 gets under way on friday, with italy playing turkey in rome. it is one of the 12 cities across europe that will host the tournament — delayed from last year to this year due to the pandemic. it will be held across europe in 12 different cities in the tournament which was delayed by a year. farrah nair presents the singapore premier league on one play sports. a passionate liverpool fan, she has been known to set her alarm for 3am to watch european football. i asked herjust how prepared she is for this. ifeel like this is what i'm meant to do. i've had about 15 years of experience since i was ten years old, getting up at three in the morning to watch midweek

matches and champions league games, so i definitely have enough prep for this. in this country we tend to think of this as a a british game but it is a global game, even though british teams are often what people are watching around the world, there is now so much more genuine football tradition around the world, how important is it how important do the euros remain in your part of the world? really important. like you say, we completely, the way we consume football in this part of the world, especially in singapore, is absolutely huge. for us, having a three month time for football it is pretty long. we have been watching one whole season of football and then to have a really long break, it is not something that we kind of like, so having the euros, even the world cup in between, it is a really good, it keeps the football going. that is why it is important to us and we really enjoy it.

presumably the time difference must kind of mitigate the way people enjoy it because we were hearing from mark that the coronavirus restrictions are being lifted so people can socialise again in bars and watch it on the big screen. presumably there aren't that many bars at 3am in singapore that will be showing the football. it is a home event for many people in your country? yes, definitely. what used to happen with the previous editions, community centres and community pubs would have an area open so everybody could watch it on the big screen for free, so people could actually come down, it would be near their home, so you could come down and watch it with everybody but for me personally, euros, it is all about watching at home with my brother and with my dad and i always invite friends over, so to me my best memory of the euros is always having a big get together basically. so as much about family as football? yes, definitely.

for me, when people ask me do i have a memory that stands out, the one at the forefront is just being around the people that i love and watching it altogether. you are a fan. self—declared. leaving that aside, what do you hope most out of this in terms of national team success? honestly, ifeel like when it comes to club football, it is emotionally draining for me. when it comes to international football, ijust want to watch good football. that is pretty much it. as long as i don't have to exert any emotional capacity out of this, it is good for me. just good football. good luck to her with the coming few weeks with not getting any sleep. present at the site at the three days before the scheduled

start of south america's most prestigious football tournament, the copa america, the supreme court in brazil has decided that the event can go ahead. judges held an emergency session to consider requests to block the competition because of the coronavirus pandemic. brazil has the second— highest number of covid deaths in the world. colombia had already been removed as co—host following mass anti—government protests. large parts of the northern hemisphere have seen a partial solar eclipse today. the moon travelled directly in front of the sun in what is called an annular eclipse — leaving just a thin sliver of sunlight visible. our science correspondent rebecca morelle reports. an eclipse at sunrise in the united states. one of nature's most dazzling sights — the moon gliding in front of the sun, taking a bite from the shining disc. and this was the view from canada, where the northernmost parts of the world were treated to a full spectacle. and it was a special kind of solar event, known as an annular eclipse. an annular eclipse happens when the moon isjust a little bit further away from the earth so it looks smaller in the sky.

what you will be able to see is a sort of ring around the moon, and so this is why that annular solar eclipses are known as the ring of fire. they are incredibly beautiful eclipses to spot, as well. the full eclipse began in ontario, canada. the moon casting its shadow across a narrow band of our planet's surface. and it ended in siberia. there was a partial eclipse in the uk, with up to a0% of the sun obscured. and in edinburgh, families had a chance to catch a glimpse, as our star emerged from the haze. across much of the country, though, the weather was overcast. this was the view from cambridge. but every now and again the clouds parted. solar eclipses do happen roughly one or two times a year. actually, you have got to be on the right place at the time to see them. that is because the moon's shadow, which casts on the earth, is rather small.

although they happen frequently enough, we do not actually get to see them from the same country very often. london had a slightly better view this morning. but in the uk, we will have to get used to partial eclipses for a while. our next total eclipse will not happen until 2090. but today's event has delighted many around the world, with a display of a true celestial wonders. the american reality tv show, keeping up with the kardashians, will be airing its final episode today, after 1a years and 20 series. it has made stars of the kardashian—jennerfamily and had an influence on fashion, beauty and social media. kim kardashian and kyliejenner are in the ten most followed accounts on instagram. all five sisters feature in the top 20. it seems there aren't many who can keep up with the kardashians. a remarkable story. we've seen all their ends and the other lives. what they call

controlled reality. interesting form of television. that is it from bbc news. stay with us. hello. for the last couple of days, some of the coastal areas in the south and west have been paved by fog. this was the picture on thursday for example. equally thursday had more cloud in the east but the sunshine broke through. a very similar set up to the south of this weather front through the day ahead, but behind it we are going to introduce something a little bit fresher. we will notice the temperatures won't be quite as high and i don't think we will feel the effects of that before the end of this night. it will be warm and uncomfortable for sleeping for many of us. these are the night—time temperatures. going through friday, a lot of low cloud and hill fog around to this front, brightening up to the north.

a fair few showers just sweeping in across the north and west of scotland on the brisk breeze. sunshine developing to the south of the weather front but it will come and go as the cloudy zone sinking south introducing the odd spot of rain and drizzle. the temperatures will be two or three degrees down on those of yesterday and still warm and muggy and with coastal fog across the south in the southeast. we should get a lot of play for the second day of the second test. butjust be aware that weather front is coming southwards. it could produce the odd spot of rain or drizzle. going into the weekend, high—pressure building in again but our weather fronts will always be around northern and western areas, it is here where we are likely to see more cloud and slightly lower temperatures. whilst with more sunshine materialising, we will have got rid of that weather front, with the spot of rain, all that rain to start lifting our temperatures again. very similar, low 20s to mid 20s, at the high teens further north, come sunday, picking up the southerly wind. it is pumping in cloud

into northern and western parts of the uk but more sunshine with the drier air further south and east. it is here that we are likely to see temperatures leaping up into the high 20s, pushing towards 30 but even east scotland gets very warm. then as you can see for a selection of some of our towns and cities, the temperatures do tend to ebb away, particularly in the west going through into next week. very similar for the likes of reading, peeking sunday and monday. as ever, more online.

this is bbc news with me, shaun ley.

our headlines: the british prime minister has said there is "complete harmony" on the need to solve post—brexit trade problems in northern ireland, following his first face—to—face meeting with president biden. the two met in cornwall on the eve of the g7 summit. they also agreed a new "atla ntic charter" to work together on global challenges. britain and the us have announced plans to deliver coronavirus vaccines to some of the world's poorest countries. president biden confirmed the us is buying half a billion doses of the pfizer vaccine to donate, while the uk said it would donate 1000 million doses. for football fans across the world, the long wait for euro 2020 is finally over. after being postponed last year because of the pandemic, the 2a—team tournament is set to kick off. the opening match will see italy take on turkey in rome.
