ofthe of the breakdown in the first sign of the breakdown in the first sign of the breakdown in the south—west, but when i say break down it doesn't necessarily mean the temperatures will, in fact they will go up. some showers affecting south—western parts of the night but elsewhere across the country, after a clear evening, that low grey sky will roll off once again. so tomorrow morning it will start dre —— grey in central and eastern areas but then a warm and sunny day. temperatures in the mid to low 20s. call where we have the cloudy strip close to the north sea coast. the forecast for friday into saturday shows this weather front encroaching. that will bring the risk of storms so i think on saturday they will be very well scattered. we will struggle with pinpointing exactly where they will occur, it is difficult to pick the city and town but it will be roughly in this area here. how hot? warmer

than average for the time of year. maybe up to 30 degrees in some spots but for most closer to the mid 20s. remember, it is the humidity and that will help the temperature hang around in the evening. temperatures in some areas will still be close to 20 degrees. here is a snapshot of sunday. the lightning bolts indicate the possibility of thundery showers in some parts of western britain, and again a really warm day for many of us. maybe high 20s in some areas. loveit of us. maybe high 20s in some areas. love it or hate it, it will be turning warmer.— love it or hate it, it will be turning warmer. thank you. that is it from the — turning warmer. thank you. that is it from the sac— turning warmer. thank you. that is it from the bbc news _ turning warmer. thank you. that is it from the bbc news at _ turning warmer. thank you. that is it from the bbc news at six. - turning warmer. thank you. that is it from the bbc news at six. you l turning warmer. thank you. that is l it from the bbc news at six. you can keep up with the latest developments on the website, but from us it's goodbye.

difficult because he was afraid that they can float together because it's very strong water. bud they can float together because it's very strong water.— very strong water. and what about access to help. — very strong water. and what about access to help, aid? _ very strong water. and what about access to help, aid? 0r— very strong water. and what about access to help, aid? or the - very strong water. and what about access to help, aid? or the able i very strong water. and what about j access to help, aid? or the able to get food before they were able to leave? , ., ., , ., ., leave? they were not able to leave. the did leave? they were not able to leave. they did not — leave? they were not able to leave. they did not expect _ leave? they were not able to leave. they did not expect it's _ leave? they were not able to leave. they did not expect it's going - leave? they were not able to leave. they did not expect it's going to - they did not expect it's going to happen so quickly. and actually it's 40 happen so quickly. and actually it's a0 km from kherson, and ratherfar from the dam itself, but it was very unexpected and they were not prepared. they were not, you know, announced about this. and they had no help from the russians to help, to create extra lanes, they did not even let them go out of town. still

many people in town now. and they need to have separations, they need help, and they have no boats, no organised help there at all. find help, and they have no boats, no organised help there at all. and we have also seen _ organised help there at all. and we have also seen president _ organised help there at all. and we have also seen president zelenskyl have also seen president zelensky was in the area actually echoing a message similar to yours that the world needs to help more with those rescue efforts and there are also concerns now that landmines could be floating down the river. as this conflict continues, how are you feeling in general, notjust the ecological disaster but also talk of another offensive and even more conflict around the corner? at conflict around the corner? of course we finish the conflict as soon as possible but it's not so conflict, it's a war. and of course we expect the world to help, and

thatis we expect the world to help, and that is why we tried to, you know, we tried to do everything to the world can hear us and see what is going on in our country.— world can hear us and see what is going on in our country. thank you very much for— going on in our country. thank you very much forjoining _ going on in our country. thank you very much forjoining us, - going on in our country. thank you very much forjoining us, and - going on in our country. thank you very much forjoining us, and we l very much forjoining us, and we hope that yourfamily very much forjoining us, and we hope that your family and you remain well in the coming weeks.— hope that your family and you remain well in the coming weeks. thank you. we are keeping _ well in the coming weeks. thank you. we are keeping an — well in the coming weeks. thank you. we are keeping an eye _ well in the coming weeks. thank you. we are keeping an eye on the - well in the coming weeks. thank you. we are keeping an eye on the white | we are keeping an eye on the white house the moment because the prime minister is due to hold a news conference shortly with president biden and we have some life pictures we can show you of i think the east room at the white house aware that news conference will be. we saw the two leaders earlier. they were in the oval office and made a few quick remarks. we know that they too have been talking to notjust about the situation in ukraine and white military aid can be given to the region. they have also been talking about artificial intelligence and of

course strong ties between the country. you can see in those pictures of president biden there, he was actually using notes as he had that fireside chat with prime minister rishi sunak. and as always when a prime minister visits washington, there is a lot of attention on the so—called special relationship, lots of regulation about how strong the relationship is between the two countries. live now to washington and the bbc�*s gary 0'donoghue. just outside the west wing there in washington. very good to have you with us and we are about to hear from those two leaders in the news conference taking questions. tell us a bit more about what we heard from them earlier in the oval office. yeah, pretty platitudinous, i would say. warm issued words and i think

there will be welcome for the british side but certainly because there has always been a lot of suspicion in london thatjoe biden does not really like the british very much and much prefers the irish in his irish heritage. and that was only made worse i think after he came back from his eye restrict recently and said at a fundraiser in new york that he'd gone there to stop the brits screwing around with northern ireland. i think some warm words will go down well with downing street. they will also have some things where they are completely in lockstep, like ukraine. there are one or two perhaps issues will they are not quite eye to eye on certain aspects of strategy, but largely they are and they are the two largest contributors to the military and humanitarian effort. although of course the us is way out in front in terms of the numbers. i think we will hear a lot about a unified message on that. we will hear some talk about trade, i think. not quite so unified on that. rishi sunak basically a free—trade man and american domestic politics are a bit

workable get it and that nowadays most of a lot of focus on made in america, a lot of focus on subsidies for green industries and for bringing sort of onshore capacity that has been off short in the last few decades. so that will be interesting discussion is certainly no talk of an overarching trade deal, which was the ambition of the conservative government when it won that election and what seems a long time ago in 2019. no talk of an overarching trade deal, and then as you mentioned, artificial intelligence. rishi sunak wanting to put the uk at the sort of forefront of the discussion about the future of the discussion about the future of ai, organising that summit for the autumn and potentially wanting to cite some kind of future regulator for the artificial intelligence sector in london. we will see what the president has to say about that.— say about that. when they were talkin: in say about that. when they were talking in the _ say about that. when they were talking in the oval— say about that. when they were talking in the oval office, - say about that. when they were talking in the oval office, i - say about that. when they were | talking in the oval office, i think it was president biden who was

saying that we don't have a closer ally and of course even the men have met before, when president biden first made mention of mr rishi sunak when he became prime minister, he got his name wrong. he called him rasheed. how would you characterise that personal relationship between the two men?— that personal relationship between the two men? , �* , ., the two men? president biden is not aood with the two men? president biden is not good with names _ the two men? president biden is not good with names to _ the two men? president biden is not good with names to be _ the two men? president biden is not good with names to be honest - the two men? president biden is not good with names to be honest or- good with names to be honest or names that are not quite what he's used to. in fact he called rishi sunak president this morning before correcting himself pretty rapidly and as you say he was talking from notecards pretty obviously, which must be disturbing if you were on the receiving end of those kind of comments. i think the person it was a ship and this is the opportunity, they have met a few times, they met in san diego when they're talking about the august pack for a nuclear powered submarines in the

indo—pacific, for australia. they met at the g20 and the g7 and of course in ireland as we mentioned but i think this is the real big stage where british prime minister to come and try and submit that so—called special relationship, having their pictures taken in the east room with a big press conference. and joe biden does not duped press, comes as very much it is not duped press comes as very much, does not like them very much and i don't think he is staff like him doing them very much. so that does confer some kind of status on his visit, and, yes, the best ally, oldest ally, that kind of get set up in a few countries, about the french when they come here as well. that's one of the covenants that gets curled around quite a lot but there's no question that these two countries do have a lot of strategic interests in common. you countries do have a lot of strategic interests in common.— countries do have a lot of strategic interests in common. you talk about strate . ic interests in common. you talk about strategic interests, _ interests in common. you talk about strategic interests, gary, _ interests in common. you talk about strategic interests, gary, but - interests in common. you talk about strategic interests, gary, but this i strategic interests, gary, but this talk of a post—brexit trade deal between the us in the uk has all been taught, really. borisjohnson,

liz truss, now rishi sunak have managed to get much further when it comes to stealing a trade deal somebody think they are now with a visit? ., , , , somebody think they are now with a visit? . , , , ., ., visit? certainly dentistry abandoned all talk of an — visit? certainly dentistry abandoned all talk of an overarching _ visit? certainly dentistry abandoned all talk of an overarching deal. - all talk of an overarching deal. they eat nothing about what they call economic alliances and synergies. we talk about security mutual supply chains for important commodities and sort of basic things like rare earth metals that go into the production and technology and green sort of innovation technology. they talk also about potentially sort of pooling some resources in that way. but this kind of thing where all the borders and all that tariffs come down has not happened. the most rishi sunak could say really on this the other day was, well, british lamb and british beef is on the shelves here and i think he would like it to be a little bit more than british lamb and british

b. but the atmosphere has changed in america and as i was saying before, the white house here is much more focused on made in america, that kind of strategy. the focus on subsidies in particular has worried a lot of america's allies in the courts bring outside the eu for britain means it is no longer part of this key trade and technology council, which is one of the really big important bodies that has been talking about tariffs and trade and reciprocity between the us in the eu. that's where a lot of the business is getting done. and britain is not part of that. still lookin: britain is not part of that. still looking at _ britain is not part of that. still looking at those _ britain is not part of that. still looking at those pictures from the white house and obviously you were standing outside, the electors are already with the world leaders have yet to arrive, but white house news conferences do have a tradition of not being on time no matter who the president is so we will continue

chatting to you while we watch those pictures of the podium there awaiting the leaders. we talked a little bit, gary, about artificial intelligence and prime minister rishi sunak really wants that to be or britain to be front and centre when it comes to advances on that and possible regulation. and you just go through that in a little bit more detail? what does he want him away from having discussions with joe biden on artificial intelligence exactly? i joe biden on artificial intelligence exactl ? ~ , , ., exactly? i think his point is that the skill sets _ exactly? i think his point is that the skill sets that _ exactly? i think his point is that the skill sets that we _ exactly? i think his point is that the skill sets that we have - exactly? i think his point is that the skill sets that we have in i exactly? i think his point is that| the skill sets that we have in the uk are among the best in the world on al, and he points to one particular leading company on al that'sjust particular leading company on al that's just cited its particular leading company on al that'sjust cited its european headquarters in london, in the uk rather, and he obviously has now got this big idea for a summit in the autumn. and it really kind of slots into a significant debate it's been happening here as well as around the

world really over the last few months about the upsides and the downsides of ai. we have seen a number of sort of pioneers in this area actually warning that they think it's going to fast, not least elon musk siding with the letters saying there should be a six month pause on the development of ai because we don't know where it's going and there's a lot that could happen. there is a lot of concern and rishi sunak this thing i been talking about this up for a lot longer than everyone else and we have all this expertise in the uk, we've got companies voting with their feet, we've got companies voting with theirfeet, coming to we've got companies voting with their feet, coming to the we've got companies voting with theirfeet, coming to the uk. we really could be perhaps in the future and he does not so this especially at this point, but perhaps in the future some kind of site where you could put a regulator, people of talked about something along the lines of the international atomic energy, a sort of internationally recognised body

that monitors, that licenses perhaps and tries to sort of inform and measure the way ai is being used. i don't think or i would be amazed if he gets any support for actually that today, but if he gets the americans backing this summer in the autumn, that would be something. garrett, we are all experts in artificial intelligence now but do stay with us as you can see we are still waiting for that news conference with the british prime minister rishi sunak in the us presidentjoe biden. it is the first time that the prime minister has visited washington. we are expecting the two leaders to arrive in the east room of the white house anytime now. we willjust play you what they call a pool spray, speaking to journalists for a few minutes earlier in the oval office we will play that back for you while we wait. , ,., ,

well, mr president... apologies, mr prime minister, it's great to have you back. and in the past few months, we've met in san diego and then we met in belfast and we have met at hiroshima and now we are here and we are going to solve all the problems in the world in this next 20 minutes. you know, prime minister churchill and roosevelt met here over 70 years ago, and they asserted the strength of the partnership between great britain and the united states was the strength of the free world. i still think there's true to that assertion. and together we are providing economic and even its area and security assistance to ukraine in their fight against a brutal invasion of the russians. and we have worked out and arranged with australia and the notion of the whole area, safer and more secure in

the pacific ocean. and, you know, talked about the good friday agreement, 25 years, we can about that a little bit. as nato allies, we were working together to help provide the collective defence of all of us. and further i hope we can discuss the plans and for the strength of our economic initiatives in the global economy is undergoing i think the greatest transformation that occurred since the industrial revolution. and it's something you know a lot about with al could be a big part of that and i wanted to be a part of it as well. and we don't have a closer ally than great britain. ~ ., ., , ., britain. we are glad you were here. mr president. _ britain. we are glad you were here. mr president, thank— britain. we are glad you were here. mr president, thank you _ britain. we are glad you were here. mr president, thank you for - britain. we are glad you were here. mr president, thank you for the - britain. we are glad you were here. l mr president, thank you for the warm words _ mr president, thank you for the warm words but _ mr president, thank you for the warm words but also for welcoming me to the white house and for allowing me to stay— the white house and for allowing me to stay in_ the white house and for allowing me to stay in blair house, which i got to say, _ to stay in blair house, which i got to say, the — to stay in blair house, which i got to say, the spare room in the flat in number ten dentistry does not
