welcome to the program. in iceland — european leaders are talking about how to support ukraine and how to manage migration. we'll have the very latest live. also on the programme. we look at the threat of ai — artificial intelligence. politicians in the us are trying work out what to do about it. also in the us — president biden is in talks right now to try to make sure the country can pay its bills, the so called debt—ceiling looms. and five men are found guilty of a huge jewel heist in germany. we head into the world of art theives and priceless artefacts. first to the summit in reyjavik in iceland. these are live pictures that you can see the crowd there for the playing music, it seems a musical interlude right now for the over the last hour we have seen european leaders stand
8:02 pm
up we have seen european leaders stand up and give speeches and crucially give ongoing commitment to support and stand by ukraine. the technicalities, this is a meeting of the council of europe and has 20 of european leaders in it. we can take a look at some of those european leaders arriving this evening. this is only the fourth leaders meeting. established since 1949 or so, a very old organisation. centred around human rights. that human rights support now, that focus is on events in ukraine. this organisation did actually expel russia last year. and this focus on this get—together is how they can hold russia accountable for its actions and continue its support for ukraine. we've heard
8:03 pm
from plenty of european leaders for the uk's rishi sunak has been speaking, ursula von der leyen has just finished speaking for the first of all we heard a special speech remotely, it was down the line from ukrainian rita leader vladimir zelensky. ukrainian rita leader vladimir zelens . , ., ., ., ., zelensky. eight year ago we were not able to shoot — zelensky. eight year ago we were not able to shoot down _ zelensky. eight year ago we were not able to shoot down most _ zelensky. eight year ago we were not able to shoot down most of— zelensky. eight year ago we were not able to shoot down most of the - able to shoot down most of the terrace missiles, especially ballistic ones. and i am asking one thing now. if we're able to do this, if there's anything we can't do when we're united. and determined to protect lives. the answer to that, we in unity will give 100% in any field when we have a goal to protect our people and our europe. that unity was

crucial and _ and our europe. that unity was crucial and it _ and our europe. that unity was crucial and it did _ and our europe. that unity was crucial and it did come - and our europe. that unity was crucial and it did come up - and our europe. that unity was crucial and it did come up a - and our europe. that unity was| crucial and it did come up a few times without remember, this isjust off the back of him touring various european capitals. thanking allies for support but also garnering future support. let's take another listen now to something else he said. , , . ., , said. there is still much to be done. ukraine's _ said. there is still much to be done. ukraine's territories - said. there is still much to be j done. ukraine's territories big said. there is still much to be - done. ukraine's territories big and make air defence results like last nights the rule throughout the country we need additional air defence and missiles. we also need fighterjets defence and missiles. we also need fighter jets without defence and missiles. we also need fighterjets without no air defences and will be perfect and i am short we will get there, 100% should be our benchmark. we must leave 0% to the aggressor. our benchmark. we must leave 0% to the aggressor-— the aggressor. must leave 0% to the at aressive. the aggressor. must leave 0% to the aggressive- we _ the aggressor. must leave 0% to the aggressive. we picked _ the aggressor. must leave 0% to the aggressive. we picked up _ the aggressor. must leave 0% to the aggressive. we picked up with - the aggressor. must leave 0% to the aggressive. we picked up with that l aggressive. we picked up with that line and a couple of other crucial lines from his pre—speech with a
8:05 pm
live now to to dr patrick bury senior lecturer in security at the university of bath and former nato analyst. the general tone of his speech in the general tone of his speech in the speech of european leaders at this event, what do you make of a? good evening. 0ne this event, what do you make of a? good evening. one of the things about zelensky is his english is come on so well. as the first thing i noticed from where he was even six months ago. it's about unity, about a unified picture, about stressing that to the world especially to the russians. i think basically the last week has been about that in anticipation of a forthcoming offensive at some point by the ukrainians. i think the tour, we can talk about weapons being pledged and the effect they may have. i also think it was important for zelensky how politically it showing that he still has the support of europe, he's got more sustainable stocks of
8:06 pm
kit on the way or already in ukraine. that's a big thing if you are going to send your forces into harm's way and you are going to take casualties for the you need to have the eyes darted, the tees crossed and show your population that listen, i done everything as i can as a leader. listen, i done everything as i can as a leader-— as a leader. certainly busy. just want to explain _ as a leader. certainly busy. just want to explain so _ as a leader. certainly busy. just want to explain so everyone - as a leader. certainly busy. just - want to explain so everyone watching will understand is you are talking, you are still on our screen button next to you is the so—called family photo for the of all these big leaders get together for a nice photo. we'rejust seeing it leaders get together for a nice photo. we're just seeing it all set up, it looks like at the moment. all lined up nicely and pose for that official photograph is that we will keep on playing those pictures by the side of you. that's the general unity as a theme. 0n the side of you. that's the general unity as a theme. on some of the specific, what do you make about what president zelensky is
8:07 pm
specifically talking about? air defence, he mentions saying the air defence, he mentions saying the air defence systems has saved lives and of course the need forjets. look defence systems has saved lives and of course the need forjets.— of course the need forjets. look at of course the need for 'ets. look at the air defence, _ of course the need for 'ets. look at the air defence, the _ of course the need forjets. look at the air defence, the attack - of course the need forjets. look at the air defence, the attack last - the air defence, the attack last night, early this morning and it was actually 100% successful for the ukrainian air defense. some of the missiles fired in these new russian hypersonic missiles, which are very difficult to shoot down. we won't know for a wild wet system actually shot those down, if ever. it may come out. but the us, netherlands and germany have given patriot systems, french have given other systems, french have given other systems and it could be the latter in particular that may have shot them down. that is a really important development because these hypersonic missiles actually have been an emerging threat to international security. if there is
8:08 pm
actually a pre—existing system that can easily shoot them down, that is really important. yes, what zelensky is saying is that we've got the system of over kyiv and the air defence capable of shooting down almost all the different kinds of threats. but how do we extend that into other cities or concentrations of our forces near the front line? they are very vulnerable if identified and attacked. that is one—piece with him the f—i6... the fighterjets. a slow train coming on that will, i think. i think europe usually don't like the ukrainians asked for a long time, the west drags its fee because it does want to escalate and then eventually ukraine shows that it is essential for them to have them. i would think it might come once the offensive started if it's very clear that the ukrainian air force just doesn't have enough airframes ukrainian air force just doesn't have enough air frames for them it seems to be the direction of travel but it is very slow. look at the offer from the uk for example
8:09 pm
starting flight trades, we don't know exactly what kind of aircraft france, the same as well. it seems the direction of travel is that way. but there is a bit to go with it. patrick, i don't you take any offence butjust letting you know that you are not under screens right now because a full—screen is the circle of family photo i was just referring to, a who's who of european leaders. it reminds me very much of when we started talking about and what zelensky started talking about which was this idea of unity. clearly simple and obvious unified front being put on here. has it surprise you that there haven't been greater divisions or greater splits? you take a look at the us and some kind of splintering of support for ukraine along party lines. but take your pick of any of these leaves on screen, it's very difficult to separate them. it these leaves on screen, it's very difficult to separate them. it has
8:10 pm
been but it _ difficult to separate them. it has been but it hasn't _ difficult to separate them. it has been but it hasn't been - difficult to separate them. it has been but it hasn't been totally i difficult to separate them. it has. been but it hasn't been totally put up been but it hasn't been totally put up music about germany, they got there in the end but it took them a long time to release the leopard two tanks, for example. it hasn't been all plain sailing. you've got other countries in the eu which have been trying to block things or abstaining. i'm thinking of hungry. it is eight unified picture, i think that's very important in terms of what other security challenges the world is facing in particular the west in europe. in giving a unified picture and showing the support for ukraine in terms of taiwan or china, should not escalate. in america the problem is obviously a sector of the republican party starting to come on louder and louder of this not being an american interest. the one thing i would point out to the american audiences is that the us military has spent about 5% of its defence
8:11 pm
budget on aid to ukraine. for that they've got pretty much destroying at least 50% of the rational two russian conventional army. given that that was one of the major threats, that is a really good... if you break it down to bank for buck thatis you break it down to bank for buck that is pretty good business on their terms.— that is pretty good business on their terms. fascinating to hear our their terms. fascinating to hear your thoughts- _ their terms. fascinating to hear your thoughts. thank _ their terms. fascinating to hear your thoughts. thank you - their terms. fascinating to hear your thoughts. thank you very l their terms. fascinating to hear- your thoughts. thank you very much for coming on the program. clearly the main focus of that summit has been ukraine. the uk by minister rishi sunak who is there and spoke in the last hour and did speak frankly mainly about ukraine. but his other issue, the main issue he wanted to talk about was tackling illegal migration, were his words and just before the summit started he gave us this answer. part and just before the summit started he gave us this answer.— he gave us this answer. part of my a- roach he gave us this answer. part of my approach is — he gave us this answer. part of my approach is that — he gave us this answer. part of my approach is that the _ he gave us this answer. part of my approach is that the new _ he gave us this answer. part of my approach is that the new laws - he gave us this answer. part of my approach is that the new laws in i approach is that the new laws in place in the uk, that's our stop the boats bill, is novel, ambitious but
8:12 pm
i believe it is compliant with our international obligations. at the same time we want to make sure that the european court is always conducting itself in a way in which it's fair, effective, transparent and that's a type of conversation i will be having with the european president today.— president today. let's cross to a olitical president today. let's cross to a political correspondent. - president today. let's cross to a political correspondent. just - political correspondent. just explain to us why he's flying out there talking to european colleagues about this issue.— about this issue. interesting because as _ about this issue. interesting because as you _ about this issue. interesting because as you heard, - about this issue. interesting because as you heard, as i about this issue. interesting l because as you heard, as you about this issue. interesting - because as you heard, as you been covering the main agenda is undoubtedly ukraine. in fact according to the atlantic coast the question of illegal immigration is not really featuring very prominently on the agenda at all. there are reasons why rishi sunak wanted to raise it. i think first of all, in the speech he says there is all, in the speech he says there is a moral case for battling olympic gold immigration because it crowds and people coming here illegally. partly for domestic audience he
8:13 pm
wanted to take the argument to the european court of human rights. they spoke behind closed doors to the president of the court and he effectively is saying that his attempts to break through legislation in the uk parliament as he would put it, stop the boats. tackle the crossings in the english channel, this is within international law. the minister says it may be pushing the boundaries of international law. secondly, what he wanted to do was to lobby to try to get the court to implement some of its rulings perhaps more flexibly, more in the uk interest for that in particular in the jargon what is called rule 39, effectively what happens under that rule is that it allows european court for human rights to stop something from happening if irreparable damage can be done. this is what was used to stop a flight to rwanda for that thatis stop a flight to rwanda for that that is a key part of the governments to reduce the flow of
8:14 pm
migrants across the english channel. they are saying in effect largely single male migrants who arrived by illegal root could be deported to a third safe country. the arrangement with rwanda but so far no flights have taken office up the obstacles in the way of that as he sees it is the european court of human rights. some of his own mps are saying he should just abandon britain's adherence to european convention of human rights, it was instrumental in setting up after the second world war. he wants to resist that but he wants the court itself to be more flexible and transparent as he would put it, in effect what is really asking for is for them perhaps not to interfere directly and also if they are going to be using these kind of rule 39 interventions then perhaps you could have member states of the council of europe having their say and putting their case for appealing against him. he wants to see if he can get back with
8:15 pm
something. i don't think he'll come back from iceland with that but it's part of an ongoing dialogue to try to get understanding for his position and try to ensure that the european court can't stop what he would see as a deterrent against illegal immigration. you mentioned no direct results _ illegal immigration. you mentioned no direct results right _ illegal immigration. you mentioned no direct results right away. - illegal immigration. you mentioned no direct results right away. is - no direct results right away. is there any sense of chances of success from his terms in the long term? ~ . �* , success from his terms in the long term? ~ ., �*, ., , success from his terms in the long term? ., �*, ., , , term? what it's doing is it is part of legislation _ term? what it's doing is it is part of legislation that _ term? what it's doing is it is part of legislation that would - term? what it's doing is it is part of legislation that would allow i of legislation that would allow ministers to in effect ignore some, not all but some of the rulings of the european court on human rights. especially when it came to deporting migrants to rwanda, the courts in the united kingdom agreed that that was legal. he doesn't want the fact that it's a signature to the european convention to overrule that. equally what he saying is ok, we're doing this in legislation but we're doing this in legislation but we may not have to use this, ministers may decide to abide by the
8:16 pm
ruling so long as they were far more limited in scope or as long as we had a say in doing so. i think this is something that will go until this legislation is passed with up probably not until autumn, it's currently in the upper chamber in the uk parliament, house of lords and it's going to be scrutinised there and i think criticised quite extensively. it will take some time. it is just part of what is trying to do. partly also a charming event, he also campaigned for more assistance for ukraine but also he saying look, we left the eu but we haven't actually left europe and he wanted to work more cooperatively with countries on what they call shared challenges, one of which is illegal immigration. iain challenges, one of which is illegal immigration-— challenges, one of which is illegal immiaration. ., . ., ., ~' immigration. iain watson, thank you ve much immigration. iain watson, thank you very much for— immigration. iain watson, thank you very much for that. _ around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. let's look at some of the other stories making headlines today. a gang that supplied false uk passports to serious criminals — including murderers and
8:17 pm
drug dealers has beenjailed. they included anthony beard, who paid vulnerable people to hand over their expired passports so he could apply for renewals using fugitives' photos. the judge said the scheme enabled very wicked, sophisticated and violent criminals to escape justice. the prime minister rishi sunak has pledged to make it easier to source our own food in the uk. it came as he met food manufacturers, supermarket bosses and farming organisations at downing street to discuss food price inflation and security of supplies. coinciding with the meeting, the consumer group which? said the price of some goods hasjumped by 25% compared to last year. vodafone is to cut ii—thousand jobs over the next three years. the figure is equivalent to a tenth of its global workforce. live with bbc news. live to the us.
8:18 pm
and the so—called debt ceiling. president biden and top republican kevin mccarthy are due to meet right now. they need to make progress on a deal essentially allow the us to borrow more money to pay its bills. if they don't it could mean an economically catastrophic default. over to nicky schiller to explain all. we've probably all heard the term debt ceiling but what exactly does it mean? is also known as the debt limit. it is actually a law that limits the total amount of money that the us government is allowed to borrow to pay its bills. when we talk about those bills it is a wide range of things. it includes government wages, paying for things like federal firefighters. there government wages, paying for things like federalfirefighters. there is the cost of the military, social security payments, retirement and disability benefits. there is the cost of the health care scheme,
8:19 pm
medicare and if that wasn't enough there also has to have the interest on the national debt and tax refunds as well. every now and then us congress me to vote whether to raise the city government can spend more or suspended. currently the is a whopping 31.4 trillion, yes, trillion dollars. the us debt clock estimates that is around 90 for thousand dollars per person in the united states. —— 94. the cap was breacher earlier this year so we're currently in something called extraordinary measures. that is where the us treasury gives the government cash until it can work out what to do. there is a key day coming up, it isjune the 1st. that is when the cash could run out. if that happens and there is no political agreement and the government really won't be able to pay its bills. that will mean no wages and no benefits and jobs will be lost. indeed lewis, a lot of

8:21 pm
democrats came out as well, chuck schumer and hakeem jeffries and cues that republicans are being extreme and saying they wouldn't take default off the table. we will see what comes out of this meeting. bear in mind, president biden is due to go to japan tomorrow in order to attend the g7 summit and then he's heading to australia. he won't be back until around about may the 20 7th. it's really close to the deadline for the huge pressure on the congressional leaders and the president to come up with some sort of solution if not today certainly by the end of the week. just the olitics, by the end of the week. just the politics. we _ by the end of the week. just the politics, we will— by the end of the week. just the politics, we will come _ by the end of the week. just the politics, we will come onto - by the end of the week. just the politics, we will come onto the l politics, we will come onto the economics of it in a moment with our guests coming up. just on the politics of it, this idea of actually defaulting, june the 1st date, is that something that politicians there are genuinely prepared to contemplate actually happening?

vaughnjones, this is the context on bbc news. hello there. the rest of the week still looking dry in many places and a bit warmer as well. today was a pleasant late spring day for many parts of the country where we saw some fair weather cloud like this and some warm spells of sunshine. we've got high pressure sitting close to the uk. that weather front brought down some cloud from the north and a few showers. also seeing this cloud coming in and that will bring some rain eventually tomorrow into northern scotland. we're seeing some rain today, some showers today in scotland. they've been moving their way southward together with that cloud, taking some showers for a while into northern ireland and northern england. those will linger into the evening, perhaps before decaying later in the night, leaving a legacy of cloud for some eastern parts of england. more cloud coming into the north west of scotland. so maybe not quite as chilly
8:27 pm
as it was last night. six, seven degrees quite widely, a little bit colder than that, perhaps in the north east of scotland. it will tend to turn more cloudy through the day in scotland, maybe in northern ireland, the sunshine turning hazy. and then we've got this rain into northern scotland in the afternoon. for england and wales we'll see the cloud bubbling up by the afternoon. there's a low risk of a shower for the southern half of the uk, but many places still going to be fine and dry warm when the sun is out. 18 degrees potentially in northern ireland. still on the cooler side, i think for northern most parts of scotland where we've got that rain, that rain will peter out overnight and we continue to see this warmer air coming in from the atlantic, pushing away that colder air that we started the week with. but we're seeing some cloud coming in to the northwest. this is going to bring this band of rain into western scotland and northern ireland, head of that, some sunshine and maybe one or two showers more towards the south and southeast. but again, a lot of places will be dry and we're reaching 18 degrees more widely where we get the sunshine and high pressure still close by as we head towards the end of the week.
8:28 pm
it's getting split into to a certain extent by that weather front, moving down to the northwest. and that will bring more cloud into england and wales on friday. maybe a few sharp showers as well, but not everywhere. the southeast still looks dry and following the cloud, we'll get more sunshine for scotland and northern ireland, giving temperatures a boost in the central belt of scotland. and we could reach 19 degrees perhaps in south wales and even into the weekend it looks quite promising. the showers are more likely in the far north of scotland. for many places it is going to be dry and temperatures could reach 20, 21 celsius in the sunshine.

the country woke up to find two bodies hanging from a bridge. that is a message between organised gangs. we haven't seen that before. there are complications about political relations to the president. he's beenjudged because he did not comply with taking actions in state institutions where acts of corruption were announced. the argument of the opposition assembly members is he had knowledge of the facts and did not take actions to avoid or sanction. on the other hand, the president argues that the process has not been conducive in the law and it has not been possible to prove that he has committed acts of corruption. can i ask ou, committed acts of corruption. can i ask you. i — committed acts of corruption. can i ask you. i suppose _ committed acts of corruption. can i ask you, i suppose it's _ committed acts of corruption. can i ask you, i suppose it's a _ ask you, i suppose it's a slightly more personal question, just about life and living there. given the changes and what our correspondent

8:52 pm
mean its civilians would be tried in a military court. this is something that has been seen in pakistan before, but when it has, we've often heard from human rights groups that talk about the lack of transparency, concerns about the process and undermining civilian courts here in pakistan. we don't know exactly which individuals might be tried under the army act or the official secrets act at the moment, but we know is that there have been thousands of people arrested across pakistan since the protests happened. we know among those who've been arrested are the pti leaders, imran khan's party, and many remain in custody. imran khan is on bail at the moment, but he and his party remain under intense pressure. thanks to caroline davies. surfing is one of the world's most popular pastimes. 35 million people enjoy the sport, but surfboards often make

around 5,000 boards. oh, my god, right in my eyes. yeah, if it gets in your eyes, it's really bad. and you can see it all, the dust. yeah. and that's polyurethane, it's not a great material. no, it's all petrochemical. yeah _ everything comes from the petrochemical industry these days, everything. then there's the waste. this was just a fraction of the thousands of beginners boards dumped on uk beaches last summer. it's been used in the sea - for a matter of hours before it's snapped and ended up as waste. it's really disheartening to see - this amount of waste come forward. also adding to the damage done by the industry are wet suits. it's estimated that around a million are thrown away globally each year. derived from oil, neoprene is so durable it's been used to line landfill. we were shown a project which aims for the first time to turn old wet suits into new ones.
8:55 pm
we've taken the 1,000 wet suits that were destined for landfill, sent them off to bulgaria and they've been repurposed into a foam wetsuit—like material that we are now testing in some cold cold water products this autumn. some of the press that's coming out around the toxicity of neoprene is extreme, to say the least. horrendous. so if you knew that, why wouldn't you change? the surf industry members association says... and it needs to be done quickly. more than 35 million people are now riding the waves and that number is swelling all the time. clare marshall, bbc news. keeping an eye on president biden in the us meeting politicians. trying

8:57 pm
6—7 degrees quite widely, a little bit colder than that, perhaps in the north east of scotland. it will tend to turn more cloudy through the day in scotland, maybe in northern ireland, the sunshine turning hazy. the sunshine turning hazy, and then we've got this rain into northern scotland in the afternoon. for england and wales, we'll see the cloud bubbling up by the afternoon. there's a low risk of a shower for the southern half of the uk, but many places still going to be fine and dry warm but many places still going to be fine and dry. warm when the sun is out — 18 degrees potentially in northern ireland. still on the cooler side, i think, for northern most parts of scotland where we've got that rain, that rain will peter out overnight and we continue to see this warmer air coming in from the atlantic, pushing away that colder air that we started the week with. and northern ireland. ahead of that, some sunshine and maybe one or two showers more towards the south and southeast. but again, a lot of places will be dry and we're reaching 18 degrees more widely where we get the sunshine, and the high pressure
8:58 pm
still close by as we head towards the end of the week. it's getting split in two to a certain extent front, moving down to the northwest, and that will bring more cloud into england and wales on friday and maybe a few sharp showers as well, but not everywhere. the southeast still looks dry and following the cloud, we'll get more sunshine for scotland and northern ireland, giving temperatures a boost in the central belt of scotland. in the central belt of scotland, and we could reach 19 degrees perhaps in south wales. and even into the weekend, it looks quite promising. the showers are more likely in the far north of scotland. for many places, it is going to be dry and temperatures could reach 20—21 celsius in the sunshine.

welcome to the program. european leaders are meeting in iceland right now talking about how to support ukraine for that we will have all the latest live on that. we will also talk about that tonight to our panel for the four cabinet member and journalist in washington dc for the wheel say hello properly to them in just a moment. the wheel say hello properly to them injust a moment. first let's go back to iceland and this summit. several european leaders are there and we've heard from several of them, rishi sunak has been speaking for that we could see him there in the middle of these pictures with this is the so—called family photo. after we heard speeches from ursula von der leyen, rishi sunak and crucially from that ukrainian leader
9:02 pm
volodymyr zelensky we heard a series of speeches and then this was the family photo after. a real who's who of european leaders. and 1pm coming from everyone who spoke, emmanuel macron, he spoke to. one theme came out more strongly than anything and that was of unity. and right at the beginning we heard from the ukrainian leader volodymyr zelensky. let's take a listen to what he had to say. let's take a listen to what he had to sa . , ., ., ., ., to say. eight year ago we were not able to shoot _ to say. eight year ago we were not able to shoot down _ to say. eight year ago we were not able to shoot down most - to say. eight year ago we were not able to shoot down most of- to say. eight year ago we were not able to shoot down most of the i able to shoot down most of the terrorists year ago. —— a year ago. i'm asking one thing now, if we're able to do this, is there is anything we can't do what we're united and determined to protect lives, the answer is that we in unity will give 100% in any field when we have a goal to protect our
9:03 pm
people and our europe. that when we have a goal to protect our people and our europe.— people and our europe. that was a video message _ people and our europe. that was a video message delivered _ people and our europe. that was a video message delivered live i people and our europe. that was a video message delivered live by i video message delivered live by volodymyr zelensky put up david, stephanie, hello. david, what did you make of the various speeches by the european leaders and the comments of zelensky himself? i think there's a real strong sense of unity, as you are reporting. that sense that all the european nations are coming to gather to back ukraine. that this is a conflict in which ukraine must win, must succeed. and i think there's a real determination across the board. sometimes there's been more talk than action. but the sense i have at the moment is that there is been great determination to give the ukrainians the support that they are going to need over what is likely to be critical weeks as we see the

9:05 pm
that gives you trillions of dollars in savings. we bring back money we have already appropriated from the taxpayer that wasn't spent in the pandemic. we put in work requirements that the president voted for as a senator for that in wisconsin just a couple of months ago passed by 82% of the ellipse people out of poverty, puts them into jobs what that does is help our supply chain. so no longer do we borrow money from china to pay people not to work. the only they were talking about is able—bodied people with no dependents. that's all you're talking about. it's already in place in certain areas. so then we make ourselves more energy independent. we change the red tape that we have actually built things in america. the roads we want to bill, the energy projects we want to bill, the energy projects we want to build to become energy independent. it lowers the price to americans but at the same time creates morejobs and americans but at the same time creates more jobs and the economy get stronger. truth?

9:08 pm
child hits the limit all you do is increase the limit. it comes to a point now that you can't afford it. so do you just increase the limit again or do you actually take a serious thought of where you are spending your money? you still get a fund the things that are most important to you but you're going to eliminate the waste. maybe you don't go to starbucks every single day. maybe you don't waste money there. the presidentjust now appointed individuals, we will set, i would like to meet todayjust individuals, we will set, i would like to meet today just start meeting until we get this done. how long? that's all up for negotiation. inside the republican bill we lifted it for $1.5 trillion with when you think about it, the spending has getting so far out of control we already borrowed $1 trillion this year. think about what that means to the average american. we're borrowing money, barring yourfuture for things that are being wasted upon today. for more than $1 trillion, that means china is
9:09 pm
funding this. we need to change that behaviour and make america stronger, less dependent on china and actually curve inflation. if this is where we were in february when i first came down i'd be very optimistic that this would get solved right away. the structure has changed so we're in a better process. mitch, do you want to say anything else?- in a better process. mitch, do you want to say anything else? seven of the last 10. — want to say anything else? seven of the last 10, seven _ want to say anything else? seven of the last 10, seven of— want to say anything else? seven of the last 10, seven of the _ want to say anything else? seven of the last 10, seven of the last - want to say anything else? seven of the last 10, seven of the last ten i the last10, seven of the last ten debt— the last 10, seven of the last ten debt ceilings have carried something else put— debt ceilings have carried something else put up with the speaker and i are advocating here is not unusual. it's are advocating here is not unusual. it's more _ are advocating here is not unusual. it's more common than not. a perfect example _ it's more common than not. a perfect example of— it's more common than not. a perfect example of it — it's more common than not. a perfect example of it is the congressional review— example of it is the congressional review acts that we've been voting on periodically and congress to overturn. — on periodically and congress to overturn, it was done on a debt ceiling — overturn, it was done on a debt ceiling. during the clinton administration. this shouldn't be this hard — administration. this shouldn't be this hard. we know were not gonna

9:11 pm
bill, the senate passes a bill and that you go to conference. —— congress with the unfortunate lead the house is the only body that passed for that we're now 15 days away from hitting this limit. republicans didn't sit back and wait untiljanet yellen told us when the deadline was, we pass it long before she ever said universe was coming because we didn't want to put america intojeopardy because we didn't want to put america into jeopardy like this. because we didn't want to put america intojeopardy like this. we have worked to try to solve .net just as you look at title 42 be lifted on the border, we didn't ignore the problem like the white house. we actually put a border control bill out there. so we can secure our borders without what happened this weekend? a person on the terrorist watch lists from afghanistan was just coming across his border. why? we got more people in the month of february on the terrorist watch list that we got the entire time in the last administration. you can't keep ignoring problems, you've gotta find solutions. that's what the republicans in the house and down.
9:12 pm
inaudible. i think america is the number one economy in the world for that when we get down with this negotiation of america's economy is good to be stronger for that we get to make the american economy stronger, putting more people back to work, lifting them out of poverty, lowering energy costs and more importantly, curving are spending at the runway. as world looks around and looks back at american said that was spending too much they will be able to say that when we're down. thank you all very much. ~ . . , when we're down. thank you all very much. ~. . , , , ,, much. kevin mccarthy, republican us house speaker _ much. kevin mccarthy, republican us house speaker on _ much. kevin mccarthy, republican us house speaker on one _ much. kevin mccarthy, republican us house speaker on one side _ much. kevin mccarthy, republican us house speaker on one side of- much. kevin mccarthy, republican us house speaker on one side of these i house speaker on one side of these negotiations just to remind you, this is negotiations of the debt ceiling. all in place of the us limits the amount of the barn, the government can borrow but of course the government still has all its spending commitments so they need to negotiate for that president biden on one—sided republicans on the other to come to a deal to raise that limit and attach certain

conditions to it as the republicans would have it. that's the background. couple of interesting lines. we did hearfrom president biden earlier. i'll bring you that moment. butjust to bring you what kevin mccarthy said before we hear from president biden. he said two things number one it is possible to get a deal by the end of the week was up about two week deadline for when things get serious. he also said we're still very far apart. so make of that what you will about those two statements from the us house speaker mccarthy. let's hear from the other side of these negotiations right now president biden. rfleet negotiations right now president biden. . . negotiations right now president biden. , ., , . ., negotiations right now president biden. , ., ,. ., ., negotiations right now president biden. ., ,. ., ., ., biden. get a good picture of all of us. have biden. get a good picture of all of us- have a — biden. get a good picture of all of us. have a wonderful _ biden. get a good picture of all of us. have a wonderfultime, i us. have a wonderful time, everything is going well. i don't have any comment you may, we're just

9:19 pm
interesting they are, democrats agreed in the meeting whatever side they are on that default is not an option. they do have to make some kind of compromise and make a decision to avoid that. they've got a couple of weeks to do it and the republicans are reckoning despite the distance they could do a deal by the distance they could do a deal by the end of the week. let's bring in our panel. let's get your immediate reactions. great to see you both. that was live, raw politics in action in front of our eyes with stephanie, what did you make of a? i stephanie, what did you make of a? i think there are two interesting things here. yesterday only a spokesman for the administration insisted that the president was travelling not only to the g7 meeting injapan but was also going to continue in overseas trip. just two hours ago that was canceled. at reportedlyjoe biden is coming back for the fed is an indication that the meeting he had today, talking
9:20 pm
the meeting he had today, talking the debt ceiling was not as positive as he might have hope for. secondly, i thought it was interesting to listen to the house speaker about how he mixed and other issues into his statements when he talked about terrorist, talked about immigration and the title 42 lifting. he was talking about the situation on the border. the whole debt ceiling discussion is very charge politically and a lot of other aspects obviously, we're getting a sense of the looming election next year. sense of the looming election next ear. . . , sense of the looming election next ear. . . year. david, charge politically as stehanie year. david, charge politically as stephanie put — year. david, charge politically as stephanie put it. _ year. david, charge politically as stephanie put it. that's - year. david, charge politically as stephanie put it. that's pretty i stephanie put it. that's pretty accurate. i stephanie put it. that's pretty accurate. ~ stephanie put it. that's pretty accurate. ,, . �* , �* , accurate. i think that's right. it's hard to interpret _ accurate. i think that's right. it's hard to interpret precisely - accurate. i think that's right. it's| hard to interpret precisely what's going _ hard to interpret precisely what's going on— hard to interpret precisely what's going on from the immediate comments .iven going on from the immediate comments given afterwards because there's a lot of— given afterwards because there's a lot of gameplaying going on. from the outside i thought both parties were sounding relatively positive. these _ were sounding relatively positive. these things very often go to the

9:25 pm
very effective. he's got a very strong case to make. we're coming up to a very critical moment. he needs the weapons, he needs the ammunition to be able to wage this conflict. and to make progress. because clearly this counteroffensive is going to be an important moment. potentially this is the chance for ukraine to recover a great deal of lost territory. if it goes well that is going to strengthen ukraine's hand enormously and potentially lead to victory and put rusher under immense pressure. if it goes badly, if it doesn't make the progress that he wants and this is going to drag out for some time. returning to us politics here, for putin... i’m politics here, for putin... i'm auoin politics here, for putin... i'm going to _ politics here, for putin... i'm going to have _ politics here, for putin... i'm going to have to _ politics here, for putin... i'm going to have to interrupt you
9:26 pm
twice. i'm afraid i have to because we're coming right to the end of this section for that we have ten seconds left. we will chat to you both in a minute. this is bbc news. hello there. the rest of the week still looking dry in many places and a bit warmer as well. today was a pleasant late spring day for many parts of the country where we saw some fair weather cloud like this and some warm spells of sunshine. we've got high pressure sitting close to the uk. that weather front brought down some cloud from the north and a few showers. also seeing this cloud coming in and that will bring some rain eventually tomorrow into northern scotland. we're seeing some rain today, some showers today in scotland. they've been moving their way southward together with that cloud, taking some showers for a while into northern ireland and northern england. those will linger into the evening, perhaps before decaying later in the night, leaving a legacy of cloud for some eastern parts of england. more cloud coming into the north west of scotland,
9:27 pm
so maybe not quite as chilly as it was last night. 6—7 degrees quite widely, a little bit colder than that, perhaps in the north east of scotland. it'll tend to turn more cloudy through the day in scotland, maybe in northern ireland, the sunshine turning hazy, and then we've got this rain into northern scotland in the afternoon. for england and wales, we'll see the cloud bubbling up by the afternoon. there's a low risk of a shower for the southern half of the uk, but many places still going to be fine and dry. warm when the sun is out — 18 degrees potentially in northern ireland. still on the cooler side, i think, for northern most parts of scotland where we've got that rain, that rain will peter out overnight and we continue to see this warmer air coming in from the atlantic, pushing away that colder air that we started the week with. but we're seeing some cloud coming in to the northwest. this is going to bring this band of rain into western scotland and northern ireland. ahead of that, some sunshine and maybe one or two showers more towards the south and southeast. but again, a lot of places will be dry and we're reaching 18 degrees more widely where we get the sunshine, and the high pressure
9:28 pm
still close by as we head towards the end of the week. it's getting split in two to a certain extent by that weather front, moving down to the northwest, and that will bring more cloud into england and wales on friday and maybe a few sharp showers as well, but not everywhere. the southeast still looks dry and following the cloud, we'll get more sunshine for scotland and northern ireland, giving temperatures a boost in the central belt of scotland, and we could reach 19 degrees perhaps in south wales. and even into the weekend, it looks quite promising — the showers are more likely in the far north of scotland. for many places, it is going to be dry and temperatures could reach 20—21 celsius in the sunshine.
9:30 pm
hello, i'm lewis vonjones. you're watching the context on bbc news. five men, all members of a notorious criminal family network, are found guilty of the 2019 jewel heist in the german city of dresden. it's been dubbed the biggest art heist in modern history — today five members of a criminal gang have jailed for stealing priceless 18th century jewels from one of europe's oldest museums in germany. the raid at one of the oldest and richest treasure collections in the world
9:31 pm
took place at the green vault in dresden in 2019, with a diamond encrusted sword amongst the treasures taken. only some of the collection has since been recovered. this isn't the first theft of its kind either... you might remember an armed gang dressed as airport workers stole 75 million euros worth of jewels about to be loaded on a plane at amsterdam's schipol airport in 2005. three men were jailed in 2019, but around 110 million euros of stolen items still haven't been found. then there was london's hatton garden heist. almost iii million pounds was taken when a group of men drilled into a vault in 2015. and then in 2019, an 18—carat solid gold toilet was stolen from blenheim palace. the artwork has never been found, and nobody has ever been charged. monitors the market for stolen art and objects. he will answer all our questions on us with a thank you for

a little bit if you imagine like a land registry but for our that is valuable and collectible items. it make it possible for dealers, auction houses but also collectors of museums to check an item that they want to sell or want to buy and to make sure that that has not been stolen in the past or has not been looted by that nazis or during some recent conflicts with the ball so that it recent conflicts with the ball so thatitis recent conflicts with the ball so that it is free of third—party rights. it's a little bit like a due diligence check for the art world. before a transaction takes place with a beautifully explained. stay right there. welcome back to you. i want bring in david and stephanie because this case when you look into it, which showed a little bit of the footage they are of people breaking in with torches, smashing through the glass. this is a very famous and well known museum.—

the cannes film festival is under way in the south france and as you'd expected there are plenty of a—listers in attendance. they include leonardo di caprio, robert de niro, and harrison ford. tonight sees the screening of a newjohnny depp film. it's entitled jeanne du barry and represents a return to the silver screen after the actor's acrimonious divorce to amber heard. later in the week, the fifth and final instalment of the indiana jones franchise will be unveiled, with harrison ford donning that iconic fedora hat and bullwhip at the tender age of 80. directed by stephen spielberg, the film also stars phoebe waller—bridge. plenty to get our teeth into. let's speak to the bbc�*s tom brook, presenter of talking movies. hi, tom. what is exciting you most? i have to say, the opening night film finished about an hour ago, i'm
9:39 pm
just a short distance away from there. this is a film starring johnny depp. it's a french period drama. he plays a french king in the 18th century, louis xv and it's about his involvement with eight mistress. but of course this is a pivotal moment injohnny depp his career. you made reference to it, he has been very much in the limelight in recent years because of trials, legal battles with his ex—wife amber heard. it has derailed his career. he was dropped from a franchise so i'm sure he's hoping this goes over well. i saw the film earlier today, i thought it was pretty good. johnny depp doesn't actually say that much, he does speak french. i read the leading hollywood trade paper review a few moments ago and it said he looked a bit uncomfortable in the role. i thought it strange at moving. i had to hold back tears at the end of the film. i think it will

passes or not is one of the last things that thinking about. they are just trying to change their lives and get to that border. david, i just want to bring you on this because the proposed changes to those legal roots of getting into the us are what the biden administration are of been focusing on. things like using an app, using a website, going to centres away from the border in other countries. which are lots of side all the political divide there has been a fair amount political divide there has been a fairamount of political divide there has been a fair amount of support for the principal of that. of course as always it is the practice. obviously there is a read _ always it is the practice. obviously there is a read across _ always it is the practice. obviously there is a read across the - always it is the practice. obviously there is a read across the debate | there is a read across the debate that we're — there is a read across the debate that we're having in the uk at the moment— that we're having in the uk at the moment about what it's done with school— moment about what it's done with school votes. clearly there's an element — school votes. clearly there's an element about enforcement but also has to— element about enforcement but also has to be _ element about enforcement but also has to be an element which is about

from the very beginning, i don't know. he was doing all the things that were allowed, he is allowed to take a medical timeout, he's allowed to hear the player, he is allowed to say come on in the face more or less every single point for basically his first game. but those are the things that we players know that in the locker room, that's not fair play, it's not how we treat each other. but again, it's allowed, so... i get along with came in really well all these years he's been on the tour, practice with each other, he's a very nice guy on the court —— cameron. so i don't understand this kind of attitude on the court, to be honest. she has a meeting against

the wimbledon champion— honest. she has a meeting against the wimbledon champion helena brekke in the last eight- — there's frustration for england and fast bowlerjofra archer, who's been ruled out for the upcoming test matches against ireland and australia because of a recurrence of the stress fracture in his right elbow. it's the latest setback for the 28—year—old who hasn't played a test since february 2021. he returned to play white—ball cricket for england earlier this year, but had to return early from a spell in the indian premier league after suffering further discomfort in his elbow. he is desperate to play all forms of cricket, he's been desperate to play test cricket, as well. and i hope that he gets a chance to do that, i'm sure it will be a fairly taxing road he has to go on to get this fixed and sorted, but i'm sure we will see him back at some point. lucknow super giants are up to third and a step closer to reaching the play offs in the ipl after a five—run victory over mumbai indians. australian marcus stoinis blazed 89 not out offjust1i7 balls boosting

pushing on all day like this in the hills, pushing all day, but sitting 3—4 guys and pretty much going for what you have for li—5 hours. it's a very tough day. and that's all the sport for now. hello there. the rest of the week still looking dry in many places and a bit warmer as well. today was a pleasant late spring day for many parts of the country where we saw some fair weather cloud like this and some warm spells of sunshine. we've got high pressure sitting close to the uk. that weather front brought down some cloud from the north and a few showers. also seeing this cloud coming in and that will bring some rain eventually tomorrow into northern scotland. we're seeing some rain today, some showers today in scotland. they've been moving their way southward together with that cloud, taking some showers for a while into northern ireland and northern england. those will linger into the evening,
9:57 pm
perhaps before decaying later in the night, leaving a legacy of cloud for some eastern parts of england. more cloud coming into the north west of scotland, so maybe not quite as chilly as it was last night. 6—7 degrees quite widely, a little bit colder than that, perhaps in the north east of scotland. it'll tend to turn more cloudy through the day in scotland, maybe in northern ireland, the sunshine turning hazy, and then we've got this rain into northern scotland in the afternoon. for england and wales, we'll see the cloud bubbling up by the afternoon. there's a low risk of a shower for the southern half of the uk, but many places still going to be fine and dry. warm when the sun is out — 18 degrees potentially in northern ireland. still on the cooler side, i think, for northern most parts of scotland where we've got that rain, that rain will peter out overnight and we continue to see this warmer air coming in from the atlantic, pushing away that colder air that we started the week with. but we're seeing some cloud coming in to the northwest. this is going to bring this band of rain into western scotland and northern ireland. ahead of that, some sunshine and maybe one or two showers more
9:58 pm
towards the south and southeast. but again, a lot of places will be dry and we're reaching 18 degrees more widely where we get the sunshine, and the high pressure still close by as we head towards the end of the week. it's getting split in two to a certain extent by that weather front, moving down to the northwest, and that will bring more cloud into england and wales on friday and maybe a few sharp showers as well, but not everywhere. the southeast still looks dry and following the cloud, we'll get more sunshine for scotland and northern ireland, giving temperatures a boost in the central belt of scotland, and we could reach 19 degrees perhaps in south wales. and even into the weekend, it looks quite promising — the showers are more likely in the far north of scotland. for many places, it is going to be dry and temperatures could reach 20—21 celsius in the sunshine.
