proceed must, at its core, fundamentally protect the gains of the good friday agreement. and then there were a couple of newspaper stories about various leaked documents and notes and things that seemed to up the anti—a little bit and then we had the bilateral betweenjoe biden and borisjohnson and then the prime minister came out of that meeting and as laura said he sounded relaxed about that on the subject. america, the united states, washington, the uk plus the european union have one thing we absolutely or want to do and thatis we absolutely or want to do and that is to uphold the good friday, the good friday agreement and make sure we keep the balance of the peace process going. that is absolutely common ground and i am optimistic we can do it. what is really interesting is if you look at the last thing about the atlantic charter we were talking about a minute ago, there were two clauses about northern ireland and they talk about the signatories to the good friday agreement and they talk, the uk and ireland, and they talk about the uk and

the united states working together to help northern ireland promote peace. there was no mention of the eu were not a signatory to the good friday agreement. and so i wonder if downing street will be happy with that tonight because there was no kind of strong arming by the us to say sign up to what the eu interprets the protocol to mean. i think number 10 will be quite pleased with that. although chatting to the eu people here at this among, because, remember, there will because, remember, there will be loads of eu leaders and presidents of eu institutions, it could think that that would get borisjohnson through the first few hours with biden but it does not necessarily mean it disappears from the agenda over the next few days because there will be many people here who still want to talk about the protocol. laura, let's talk about stuff that is not the protocol, talk about what is on the agenda. one of the big things that will come out of this big meeting? i think tons, actually, it is a

massively ambitious agenda with loads on it. they will want big international commitments on vaccines, they will want to make progress on the climate deal, particularly remember the us has another big internationaljamboree in international jamboree in november, there internationaljamboree in november, there is quite important groundwork they want to get done here this week on that. nothing more than anything else, actually, it is not so much the agenda items, what borisjohnson also wants to do, notjust with the g7, but what he calls the di! football team, because don't forget south korea will be here as well, australia will be here, india will be dialling in as welcome you have i! as welcome you have 11 countries in the margins getting here, is to say to the world, after a terrible year, and awful after the turbulence of the trump presidency, who was not overly interested in countries working together, he wants to say the democratic big guns are back and are determined to work together and when they do work together really good things can happen.

the interesting thing, we will be talking about this in a few days' time, is whether that really massive ambition actually, by monday, feels anything like having been achieved. i think it is more than any of the individual items, it is the overall message that diplomacy for democracies is back and, yes, it can make a difference to lots of people's lives in a good way. one of the interesting things to think about is what kinds of perhaps quite subtle hints or signs of error about how this group of countries wants to approach china and its influence and do they want to sorta very overt about the kind of pushback they are trying to do as the world's biggest democracies. t are trying to do as the world's biggest democracies.- biggest democracies. i think laura's analysis _ biggest democracies. i think laura's analysis of— biggest democracies. i think laura's analysis of the - laura's analysis of the ambition to use this event to relaunch _ ambition to use this event to relaunch the main democracies, the sort — relaunch the main democracies, the sort of— relaunch the main democracies, the sort of role of global leadership, is absolutely right _ leadership, is absolutely right. it's very much at the

huge shindig that they are in people together face—to—face in terms of building trusts and relationships. also, inevitably, the vagaries of the weather. ifind myself delving back into your book and i wouldn't have necessarily have thought of this particular picture from 1964 as having a diplomatic bearing upon the events of today and where the president was or wasn't able to go in the end but is but a picture in your book, kim, of your brother and i standing in front of a dormer bill, the summer of cornal, note the clothing, appropriate to a cornish summer. for our podcast listeners, you are wearing what looks like a remarkably thick duffel coat on top of several other layers. i suppose president biden had a little experience of that with the cancellation of the whole business of going to see michael's mount.- business of going to see michael's mount. ,., ., , ., , michael's mount. the poor staff had this plan- — michael's mount. the poor staff had this plan. president - michael's mount. the poor staff had this plan. president biden l had this plan. president biden and borisjohnson were to meet dramatically for the first time

on st michael's mount, which is kind of over the other side of cornwall and don't get in touch, my geography is not great, i'm probably not pointing the right direction. it is an little islands that the tide sometimes allows you to go out to sometimes not. they had amazing plan, the aircraft carrier was meant to be in the back drop, but the cornish weather did for the whole thing, grey skies were down and they did not take the risk, so the had this meeting and the pictures were still a stroll along the beach and it was very beautiful but not quite the drama. and all the presidential helicopters which had been practising landing on the island did not get to test out their manoeuvres. to think, kim, out their manoeuvres. to think, kim. you _ out their manoeuvres. to think, kim. you could _ out their manoeuvres. to think, kim, you could have _ out their manoeuvres. to think, kim, you could have told - out their manoeuvres. to think, kim, you could have told them l kim, you could have told them this 50 years ago! t kim, you could have told them this 50 years ago!— this 50 years ago! i remember that 1964 holiday _ this 50 years ago! i remember that 1964 holiday very - this 50 years ago! i remember that 1964 holiday very well. i that 1964 holiday very well. mostly _ that 1964 holiday very well. mostly for the fact that it rained _ mostly for the fact that it rained every single day in august— rained every single day in august in cornwall. this put me

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. while 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, peaking sunday and monday. as ever, there's more online.

welcome to bbc news — i'm lewis vaughanjones. our top stories: president biden meets britain's prime minister ahead of the g7 in cornwall, using his first overseas trip to agree a new "atlantic charter." britain and america also announce plans to deliver coronavirus vaccines to some of the world's poorest countries. president biden says the us will donate half a billion doses of the pfizer vaccine. america will be the arsenal of vaccines in our fight against global covid—19. just as they were the arsenal of democracy during world war ii.
