live from london — this is bbc news. recommitting us support for the good friday agreement, president biden says his country is still a partner in peace. so let's celebrate 25 extraordinary years by recommitting to renewal, repair, by making this exceptional peace the birthright of every child in northern ireland for all the days to come. the president and his party are now in the republic of ireland. air force one has touched down in dublin. joe biden is now in the republic of ireland where he will explore his family's roots. in other

news, a difficult few months. elon musk speaks exclusively to the bbc about taking over twitter. and a royal return. harry will attend his father's coronation. welcome to bbc news. we start with president biden who has just arrived in the irish capital dublin. earlier he made an impassioned defence of the good friday agreement in belfast 25 years after it was signed. in the last little while he was greeted on the tarmac by the irish two, the pair left in a motorcade heading for county louth after bad weather halted plans for the president to travel by helicopter. it has been a busy day for the us president, it started with this meeting with rishi

sunak but expressing their hopes that power—sharing can be restored. he also met the leaders of the five main parties off—camera, he said he was in listening mode. these are the pictures after the president spoke at the university in belfast, he clearly was enjoying every bit of that visit. it was so obvious the way he engage with young people in the audience, but also that overarching message from the president. if you look hard enough, he said, you can find... and president. if you look hard enough, he said, you canfind... and he reflected on the sufferings of the troubles. ., , ., ., , ., troubles. thousands of families have been affected _ troubles. thousands of families have been affected by _ troubles. thousands of families have been affected by the _ troubles. thousands of families have been affected by the troubles, - troubles. thousands of families have been affected by the troubles, the i been affected by the troubles, the loss was real, the pain was personal. every person killed in the troubles left an empty chair at the dining room table and a hole in the heart never felt for the ones they lost. peace was not inevitable. we cannot ever forget that. there was

nothing inevitable about it. as george mitchell often said, the negotiations had 700 days of failure and one day of success. 700 days of failure and wonder of success. but they kept going because george and all the many others never stopped believing that success was possible. it really was a subtle impassioned personal speech from joe biden about 25 minutes or so, listening to it was lucy hopkins. in terms of the various people you have spoken to, what do people make of it? we had political reaction but in terms of the wider public?— the wider public? welcome to belfast, the wider public? welcome to belfast. it _ the wider public? welcome to belfast, it is _ the wider public? welcome to belfast, it is very _ the wider public? welcome to belfast, it is very noisy - the wider public? welcome to belfast, it is very noisy so - the wider public? welcome to belfast, it is very noisy so i i belfast, it is very noisy so i apologise if you hear the clanging of machinery but all of the security apparatus is being taken down. as you mentioned, president biden has already moved on, he has landed in the republic of ireland and has been

met by the taoiseach there. terms of in what people are making of it, you have used a few words that many people in northern ireland would agree with, they found it to be a passionate speech from a man who they felt was very authentic. he talks about the time when he was a senator when the good friday agreement was being negotiated. people really felt that for a very long time president biden has cared about what happens here in northern ireland. he has also —— it was also felt it was a speech... he may have stuck to a well choreographed speech but he managed to hit all the right notes, particularly when he used a delicate language around what is happening it with power—sharing, saying he hoped the executive was restored as soon as possible but he added very quickly this was not a decision for him to make, it was a decision for him to make, it was a decision for him to make, it was a decision for northern ireland, the parties in northern ireland to make. even though he praised the windsor

framework, which we know he is a big advocate of, with that carrot and stick which some people have referred to in terms of that speech, he offered us help, not only politically but financially and economically when it comes to investment here in northern ireland. there has been a positive response from the people i have managed to speak to and i am about to speak to a young student who was in the room at the time but there has been some political reaction. the leader of the dup jeffrey political reaction. the leader of the dupjeffrey donaldson listened into the speech and met him just moments before he went on stage. he was asked by the bbc weathered the visit had been a missed opportunity for northern ireland because of the fact that we don't have power—sharing in stormont at the moment. power-sharing in stormont at the moment. ,., ., ., , moment. the solution will not be found in speeches _ moment. the solution will not be found in speeches made - moment. the solution will not be found in speeches made at - moment. the solution will not be - found in speeches made at stormont, it will_ found in speeches made at stormont, it will be _ found in speeches made at stormont, it will be found in the hard graft and hard — it will be found in the hard graft and hard yards we need to undertake to get— and hard yards we need to undertake to get this _ and hard yards we need to undertake to get this right and i am determined to get it right. i will

absolutely. as the chair of the student union, my role is to represent a moderate bait within our student council and one thing i know from listening to both sides, i travelled northern ireland in my short time, i am only a first year student, but i had the pleasure of travelling and i have seen this is the type of discourse our students want, this is the type of discourse our students are encouraging. it is hope and optimism and goodwill for the future, as he mentioned, 25 years ago, not see a vest like this are surrounded by glass structures, is honestly beautiful as and inspiring as this, as they have in the last 25 years of the good friday agreement and it is optimistic for the future. ., ., ., ., the future. you are heading from belfast home _ the future. you are heading from belfast home to _ the future. you are heading from belfast home to male _ the future. you are heading from belfast home to male and - the future. you are heading from belfast home to male and you i the future. you are heading from | belfast home to male and you are going to be volunteering —— to county mayo. going to be volunteering -- to county maya-— going to be volunteering -- to county mayo-—

there is also a sense that even though the visit was not as long as many people hoped for, it is not about the minutes he is here for, it is about a president coming to northern ireland and shining a spotlight on everything this country has to offer. the potential and investment that is here, and incredible progress that has been made since the of the thank you once again and we will return to you in the coming while. let's turn to that breaking news of the last hour or so. news from buckingham palace, who have confirmed that king charles's youngerson confirmed that king charles's younger son prince harry will attend the coronation despite the ongoing public rift. however, his wife meghan will not be accompanying him and will remain in the states with their children. harry is coming to their children. harry is coming to the coronation but meghan is not, it means the palace planners can't complete the seating plan. they are overdue in living their

answers, but this just released. buckingham palace is pleased to confirm that the duke of sussex will attend the coronation service on the 6th of may, the duchess of suffix will remain in california with prince archie and princess leah betts. —— duchess of sussex. he hasn't seen his father or his elder brother william since the state funeral of the late queen elizabeth last september and an awful lot has happened since then, not least the publication of his book and the bad feeling that has undoubtedly caused within the royal family towards him. a strong sense of betrayal within the family towards harry, but for this, at this moment, a moment perhaps of some reconciliation he will be there to see his father crowned in westminster abbey on made the sixth as charles iii. —— may be

humans instinctively know how much pressure to apply so that the egg i mentioned doesn't break or get dropped. tell me how these sensors actually work, how they mimic human behaviour. tsine actually work, how they mimic human behaviour. ., ' . behaviour. one of the difficult thins is behaviour. one of the difficult things is our— behaviour. one of the difficult things is our hands _ behaviour. one of the difficult things is our hands have i behaviour. one of the difficult things is our hands have a i behaviour. one of the difficult| things is our hands have a very behaviour. one of the difficult i things is our hands have a very soft compact, most of the robots have a rigid fingers and rigid hands and the challenge is how to put sensors in the soft skin is that we can create now in the robotic systems. putting some sensors in fingers is really critical because now we use a lot of ai, which we can make use of a lot of data, but getting data about contact with the object is really challenging and that is something the achieved in this project. i something the achieved in this ro'ect. . ~ something the achieved in this ro'ect. ., ,, ., project. i will talk about the ractical project. i will talk about the practical uses _ project. i will talk about the practical uses any _ project. i will talk about the practical uses any moment| project. i will talk about the i practical uses any moment but i think i am right in saying you tried

and some snow over the highest ground in scotland. some sunny spells between all of that, temperatures of 9—12 , so feeling chilly. through tonight, the winds will slowly ease, we will keep some showers going, still some wintry ones over high ground in scotland, some clear spells as well, and as winds fall a little lighter, temperatures will drop fairly close to freezing, so there could just be a touch of frost in places. tomorrow, then, we will still see some showers, some of which will be heavy and possibly thundery, sunny spells between the showers. it isn't going to be as windy, but it will still feel relatively cool, with top temperatures of 9 degrees in aberdeen and newcastle, 12 or 13 for norwich and london. as we look ahead to friday, another weather system running in from the west, the wind is not as strong this time, but there will be some outbreaks of rain affecting parts of wales, the midlands, into southern england. further north, spells of sunshine, but showers will pop up,

some on the heavy side, maybe something wintry over the mountains in scotland, temperatures still between nine and 12 degrees. but as we head through the weekend, those temperatures will start to climb, we are losing the chilly air, and instead we pick up more of a southerly breeze, see the orange colours spreading across the chart. temperatures will be on the rise, through the weekend and into next week, easily up into the high teens, but some places could see highs of 21 or 22 degrees.
