5:09 pm
the band of the grenadier guards they are, conducted by captain ben mason. they will play a programme of traditional british and american
5:10 pm
military marches on this occasion of the bidens visit. to windsor castle. just a reminder that president biden is the 13th us president that her majesty the queen has met on the fifth who has been invited to windsor castle. as our royal correspondent was saying a few moments ago. these have often been informal occasions. this is relatively formal, this part of the day, but not on the scale of a state visit. perhaps that will come later. but right now, president biden, accompanied by majorjames taylor, the captain of the queen's company the captain of the queen's company the grenadier guards, inspecting the honour guard. the grenadiers in their internationally recognisable red jackets and their bearskins.
5:11 pm
let's bring in the royal editor at vanity fair. i was bringing at the point of asking you, so often on occasions like this we try to rid the body language. based on what we have seen so far, especially from friday evening at the g7, the queen and the bidens seem to be relaxed in their company. thea;r and the bidens seem to be relaxed in their company-— their company. they are. i did not want to interact _ their company. they are. i did not want to interact at _ their company. they are. i did not want to interact at a _ their company. they are. i did not want to interact at a crucial - want to interact at a crucial moment. the queen looks resplendent, beautiful in pink. she has struck me as looking so happy when we saw
5:12 pm
those pictures, that footage of her on friday in cornwall at the g7 reception. she looked very at ease and she looks at ease in the company of the bidens and they also in her company. this is a big deal, yes he is the president of the united states band coming here and inspecting the guard of honour, it is a really big thing. you get the impression that there is a mutual respect therefrom one to the other and they seemed very happy and when another�*s company. how important do you think is it for us presidents and this us president with his message of america being back on the international stage, how important is this in terms of projecting that message further? it is important. what everyone is keen to do is to reinforce that special relationship
5:13 pm
and show that there is a special relationship here, there is still a special relationship. one of the queen's heroes as being head of the state is to be that soft diplomatic power and to be there to welcome the president. britain really has enjoyed over the past couple of days being in the centre of the world's stage and the eyes of the world has been on us. so far it has gone very well. this is all going very well and to plan, but it is important to stop it is a great honour for the president to be here, to be at this position in windsor castle and a great honour for the queen to be accommodating less and to play host to this. they will be wanting to lay down the markers are moving forward together. and really continuing that really unique and special relationship, so tea at windsor castle after this. it all
5:14 pm
contributes to smoothing away for a familiar, i use that in inverted commas, and a progressive working relationship. how much do you think the queen will be thinking about that today?— the queen will be thinking about that toda ? ~ ., . ., that today? when we look at changing relationshi -s that today? when we look at changing relationships between _ that today? when we look at changing relationships between different - relationships between different countries in the world, the uk now outside the eu, president biden coming here, looking to reaffirm the special relationship he himself use that phrase in advance of it. how much do you think the queen will be thinking of that alan whatever discussions unfold here today? i think she will be thinking about it. if you think about her role in the commonwealth, she is a unifying force here in the united kingdom, and in the commonwealth but there is and in the commonwealth but there is a relationship there and it is one she will want to see cemented and
5:15 pm
continued. she will want it to be a successful working relationship. she has had relationships with previous presidents and i am thinking back to ronald reagan and their wonderful meeting that they had when they went horse riding together. she does have a politicalfriendship here, it is different to the premier star's relationship. but she acts in a different way —— —— prime minister's. different way -- -- prime minister's.— different way -- -- prime minister's. ., , ., minister's. katie, they have in common of— minister's. katie, they have in common of course _ minister's. katie, they have in common of course the - minister's. katie, they have in common of course the queen | minister's. katie, they have in - common of course the queen and the bidens, harry and meghan, jill biden's friendship with prince harry goes back a number of years because of theirjoint interest in the welfare of veterans. do you think there might be a conversation about there might be a conversation about the sussex couple and their daughter, these people that the queen and the biden may now have in

5:17 pm

5:22 pm
goal at a major championship. england up and running. top of their group for now. on the go to their next challenge which will be back here at wembley on friday against scotland. scotland getting their campaign up in going against the czech republic tomorrow. so many positives coming from this england performance. a fixture against croatia brings back all those rather nasty memories of the world cup three years ago when croatia knocked them out in the semifinals. yes, england have written —— beaten croatia since. with this young exciting england team, really does feel significant and brilliant, brilliant result, 1—0 to england. scotland play tomorrow in their opening match of euro 2020. the prime minister is due to give an update
5:23 pm
tomorrow on lifting covid—19 restrictions in england. this morning, the foreign secretary said the vaccination programme had weakened the link between infections and the numbers needing hospital treatment. but others warn that going ahead with unlocking could "fan the flames" of the pandemic. our health correspondent jim reed has more. this is not really the position ministers wanted to be in this weekend. tomorrow a crucial decision needs to be made — whether to go ahead with the final stage of unlocking in england a week later. but the emergence of the delta — or india — variant has made that call more difficult. it now makes up almost all new cases and may be 60% more transmissible than the older kent — or alpha — strain. at the moment, infections are still far below the levels seen injanuary, but they have been doubling every week in some parts of england and scotland. speaking on the andrew marr programme, a government adviser said
5:24 pm
relaxing restrictions further could fan the flames of the pandemic. the way i look at it is with, you know, if we're driving down a road and you're coming up to a bend and you're not quite sure what's around that bend but you think there might be something bad, you don't put your foot on the accelerator — if anything, you slow down, not speed up — and i think it's analogous to that. i think we've got to be really cautious. the key question is whether that rise in infections will lead to a significant spike in hospital admissions. vaccinations should help prevent that, but just 56% of adults have had a second dose, leaving many millions not yet fully protected. ministers say the latest data on that link between rising cases and severe disease will be critical ahead of the decision on whether to press ahead with unlocking onjune 21st. jim reed, bbc news. the danish football team's doctor has said that christian eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest
5:25 pm
when he collapsed during the country's opening euros 2020 match against finland yesterday. morten boersen said the player, who's now in a stable condition in hospital, was, in his words, "gone" and confirmed that the team had performed cardiac resuscitation on the pitch. football clubs and players across the world have sent messages of support. he is conscious and in a stable condition in hospital. aneil malhotra is a consultant cardiologist at manchester nhs foundation trust and he gave us a medical perspective on the issue. my my present take is that this was a highly visible and highly emotional possibly tragic event with thankfully a successful outcome. not only are such events televised on a global level but also the outcomes are down to, particularly in this case, prompt identification of a
5:26 pm

5:28 pm
power—sharing agreement, naftali bennett will serve as prime minister for two years — before handing over to yair lapid. it would mean an end to twelve consecutive years in power for benjamin netanyahu. he was prime minister back in the 19905. he was prime minister back in the 1990s. we will bring you more on that story as soon as we get it. our middle east correspondent, tom bateman has been following developments from inside the knesset. it to pass and it means this new government comes into existence and mr netanyahu will make have to move in the cabinet table to the opposition benches. a key moment
5:29 pm
ending his 12 years in power. as for this new coalition, as they are meeting here, talking through the agreements they have signed together, what you have is in effect one of the broadest coalition is in israeli political history and that also makes it one of the most unstable. mr bennett, the incoming prime minister, once that passed, has been trying to keep the tone very calm, quite gracious in terms of the fact that he is finally pushing mr netanyahu from power. mr netanyahu has been accusing the people here of taking right wing votes, committing a fraud by setting up votes, committing a fraud by setting up a government with left—wing and israeli parties. he calls a government of surrender. in response mr bennett has said very little, he is not returning fire and he has already done the deed. now what is says and he will thank mr netanyahu tonight, but the words themselves are much less important.
5:30 pm
now it's time for a look at the weather with susan. hello. after sunday's heat, fresher conditions are working their way into the north of the uk for monday. pretty quiet start to the week ahead but looking very stormy for some from wednesday evening onwards. high pressure holds us steady overnight and into monday, but this front will make its way into the north—west through the small hours, and behind it we do usher in cooler and fresher air. rain moving across scotland, the front fizzling out as it pushes into northern england by the end of the night. not much rain left on it by then. cooler air into scotland and northern ireland first thing monday. still very warm and muggy across england and wales. the front on a hiding to nothing through monday daytime — just some cloud drifting its way south. still very warm and muggy to the south through monday afternoon. elsewhere, temperatures 6—8 degrees down on the figures we've seen on sunday. it looks like the humidity and heat will begin to build again through the beginning of the week.
