presidents during her incredible 70 year reign as i'm sure king charles would have learnt a thing or two about how these meetings go from his late mother, the queen, so as we look at these pictures that we saw earlier, i'm very happy to introduce my two guests who will talk all this through with me. joining me now is royal correspondent daniela relph and julie norman. she's the co director of the centre on us politics at university college london. both of them join us now here on this sunny alone in the long walk outside windsor castle and if i can bring you and first of all, talk us through what is happening behind us at the moment between these two men. we are in the final stages of the visit here by the president of the united states joe visit here by the president of the united statesjoe biden and we know they've had the king and the president for half an hour, taking tea, having private time to talk to one another about the issues they wanted to talk about in private, likely to have involved climate change and environment which has been a theme of this visit here

president of the united states, a invitation from the king of england is exceptional and the reception given with the welsh guards, singing of the national anthem are things that will move him quite personally with his family's military history and whatnot.— with his family's military history and whatnot. lets look about the fact this is _ and whatnot. lets look about the fact this is not _ and whatnot. lets look about the fact this is not a _ and whatnot. lets look about the fact this is not a state _ and whatnot. lets look about the fact this is not a state visit, - fact this is not a state visit, those are different, how does this differ? ~ . , ., ., differ? much shorter, truncated into a few hours. — differ? much shorter, truncated into a few hours, there _ differ? much shorter, truncated into a few hours, there will _ differ? much shorter, truncated into a few hours, there will be _ differ? much shorter, truncated into a few hours, there will be a - differ? much shorter, truncated into a few hours, there will be a state i a few hours, there will be a state banquet and a procession down the mall in london, this is something very different but it does have some of the trappings of a state visit, the pomp and pageantry, ceremonial welcome, royal salute and the inspection of the guard has had a lot of the elements you would find in a state visit and that is about the show of soft diplomacy, the pomp and pageantry that said you are a special friend, and pageantry that said you are a specialfriend, we and pageantry that said you are a special friend, we care about you and want the relationship to continue with buckingham palace saying it is about reinforcing the ties between the two countries and

what we spoke about that struck as earlier as the understanding, connection between the two men, they are of a similar age, have led a very public life, both of them but within the royal family are politics, both having a very sharp global interest in politics and the environment and an obvious ease in terms of how they communicate and interact with each other today which is very obvious. you interact with each other today which is very obvious-— is very obvious. you could tell. good to talk — is very obvious. you could tell. good to talk to _ is very obvious. you could tell. good to talk to you _ is very obvious. you could tell. good to talk to you both, - is very obvious. you could tell. | good to talk to you both, thank is very obvious. you could tell. - good to talk to you both, thank you forjoining me here outside windsor castle and all we can do is wait because we know that marine one is itself waiting for the president, once the meeting is over, he will get back into the helicopter and fly back to his plane and get on his way to carry on his european tour in lithuania for the nato meeting but for now the meeting between the king and president still ongoing and we will of course bring the very latest. see you soon, thank you so much. we have some breaking news to bring you now from the us, the

former doctor of the american gymnastics team, the disgraced physician larry nasser has been stabbed multiple times in the prison in florida where he is serving his sentence and we are getting this news on the ap news agency and we understand he is in a stable condition but to remind you, back in 2018, larry nasser was sentenced to up 2018, larry nasser was sentenced to up to 175 years in prison for sexually abusing young female athletes including 0lympic medallists who were entrusted in his care so that breaking news coming to us from the ap news agency that larry nasser has been stabbed multiple times in the prison in florida where he is serving his sentence. any developments on that story will bring to you. the bbc is meeting the metropolitan police today to discuss allegations that an unnamed presenter, paid a teenager for explicit pictures. the sun newspaper has reported that the presenter called the young

person involved twice after it published its story. downing street has said the government will keep a close watch on the handling of the claims. charlotte gallagher reports. another day of allegations, another day of pressure. notjust for this male presenter but for the bbc itself. today bosses from the corporation are meeting with the police. but we understand no formal allegation has been made yet. fresh claims in the sun newspaper, too. it says the presenter made a panicked phone call to the young person, saying, "what have you done?" and asking them to ring their mother to stop the investigation. the family also say they're upset with the bbc, claiming no—one rang them for a proper interview after that initial complaint. the presenter is now suspended. but, if an allegation was made in may, why did it take so long for that decision to be made?

the big question for the bbc, i think, is are your processes fit—for—purpose? when did this question come in? was it escalated fast enough? why was it, when new information came out on thursday, it took until sunday for the bbc to suspend the presenter? to be fair to the bbc, they would say, "look, this is a complex nuanced environment, lots of questions, lots of issues." let's take a look at the time line so far. friday the 19th of may. this is when the young person's family first complained to the bbc about a presenter�*s behaviour. according to the sun. then, seven weeks later, allegations of a different nature are put to the bbc, according to the director—general, tim davie. on friday, the sun publishes claims that a bbc presenter paid a teenager for sexually explicit photos. then yesterday, the bbc confirms a presenter has been suspended and the corporation is in touch with police. today, bbc managers are due to meet with the police.

the government says who knew what and when needs to be established. i think in the fullness of time there will need to be a careful review about the chronology of this. what happened when? and i'm not going to cast aspersions. because i don't have all that information. time is of the essence because it's not fair on victims, it's not fair on people who could be implicated and it's not fair on the bbc, which does an importantjob. and i'm not here to, as it were, bash the bbc but i do think they need to get their house in order and they need to proceed promptly, otherwise you will have plenty of collateral victims. for presenters falsely accused on social media, it has been tough. it was a distressing weekend, i can't deny it, for me and others falsely named. today, i'm having further conversations with the police in terms of malicious communication and with lawyers in terms of defamation. this is a crisis for the bbc, with its reputation and the trust people have in it at stake. charlotte gallagher, bbc news.

let's talk more about this with our correspondence. tell me more about the allegations from the family. well, according to the sun, the unnamed bbc presenter making what the sun describes as two panicked calls to the young individual following the revelations from them saying what have you done and asking the young individual in question to call their mother and ask them because the mother had complained to the bbc asking the mother to stop the bbc asking the mother to stop the investigation. the bbc has not be able to independently verify that but also in the sun they say the family are upset by one of the bbc�*s claims in a statement and they say that no one from the corporation

rang them for a proper interview after the initial complaint. the bbc has previously said it did actively attempt to speak to those who have contacted them to seek further detail and understanding of the situation. ~ ., ., detail and understanding of the situation. . ., . situation. what are the police sa in: situation. what are the police saying about _ situation. what are the police saying about the _ situation. what are the police saying about the story? - situation. what are the police saying about the story? the l situation. what are the police i saying about the story? the bbc situation. what are the police - saying about the story? the bbc put out a statement _ saying about the story? the bbc put out a statement saying _ saying about the story? the bbc put out a statement saying they've - saying about the story? the bbc put out a statement saying they've been in contact with external agencies, in contact with external agencies, in this case the metropolitan police and the police said yes, that is the case, but at this stage they said they have received initial contact from the bbc but no formal referral or allegation has been made and it will require additional information before determining what further action should follow but we have been told that the bbc and the metropolitan police are meeting at some point today so that should hopefully provide something of an update when the results of that meeting art made public. can you exlain meeting art made public. can you ex - lain to meeting art made public. can you exniain to us _ meeting art made public. can you exniain to us by — meeting art made public. can you explain to us by the _ meeting art made public. can you explain to us by the bbc- meeting art made public. can you explain to us by the bbc is - meeting art made public. can you explain to us by the bbc is not. explain to us by the bbc is not naming the presenter?-

the united kingdom currently, the most recent case law, says even of something like a police investigation is under way, that does not mean that someone necessarily should be robbed of their expectation of privacy. and lest the allegations turn out to be untrue, it could still have a devastating effect on someone's reputation, the fact they've been linked by name with the allegations earlier. ., ~' , ., linked by name with the allegations earlier. ., ,, , ., . ., , earlier. thank you so much, that is one of the — earlier. thank you so much, that is one of the big _ earlier. thank you so much, that is one of the big question _ earlier. thank you so much, that is one of the big question many - earlier. thank you so much, that is i one of the big question many people are asking and if you go to the live page on the website, you will find the legal correspondent answers that question for you as well on why this unnamed presenter has not been named and also the question of do the allegations amount to a crime? that is a really interesting bit of analysis from dominic but you will find more reaction on the timeline for you on the website so dual gun and take a look. andy barr is the

of the inquiry, is expected to announce that 17—hundred families will have their cases examined. dozens of babies are known to have died or suffered life—long injuries as a result of poor maternity care in the city — dating back more than a decade. easyjet has cancelled 1700 flights to and from gatwick airport during july, august and september. the company blamed constrained airspace over europe and ongoing air traffic control difficulties. it said 95% of affected passengers had been re—booked on otherflights. you're live with bbc news. it has been confirmed that vladimir putin met yevgeny prigozhin five

days after the attempted mutiny. the kremlin spokesperson says both sides assessed what had happened. the wanner assessed what had happened. the wagner group said they were strong supporters of president putin. here is what was said.— is what was said. according to the presidential _ is what was said. according to the presidential spokesman, - is what was said. according to the | presidential spokesman, obviously the meeting discussed the war with ukraine or the special military operation in ukraine as officials in russia insist on calling it. and the russian president voiced his views on the events of the 24th ofjune, ie the wagner mutiny and significantly, according to the presidential spokesman, the russian presidential spokesman, the russian president after hearing explanations from wagner commanders assembled at that meeting in the kremlin, the russian president put forward

options for their future employment and use, that is a direct quote, so this suggests that the kremlin sees or saw at that stage a future for the wagner group however there was nothing in what we've heard today from the presidential spokesman about where exactly yevgeny prigozhin, the commander, is now. we've not heard from him for more than ten days now and the kremlin is silent on that. right back up until now, how has president putin and russian state media in portraying the attempted mutiny and yevgeny prigozhin? well, this kremlin's attitude to wagner fluctuates and

until the summer of last year both russian officials and state—co ntrolled russian officials and state—controlled media denied wagner existed then there was a period of wagner being betrayed as the heroes in ukraine whereas right now the state media and russia are busy vilifying yevgeny prigozhin so there is definitely no love lost between him and the state media in russia at least. , . ~ , ., , least. the dutch prime minister has announced he _ least. the dutch prime minister has announced he is _ least. the dutch prime minister has announced he is quitting _ least. the dutch prime minister has announced he is quitting politics - least. the dutch prime minister has announced he is quitting politics no | announced he is quitting politics no matter what the outcome of elections which have been triggered by the fall of his coalition government. mark rutte has been in paris in 2010. he confirmed he would not lead his party and a general election but he will stay on as a caretaker leader until a new administration is formed. a beverage

a beverage company, launched by two high—profile influencers, is facing scrutiny from lawmakers and health experts over the high levels of caffeine in one of its products. us senator chuck schumer called on the food and drug administration to investigate prime, claiming its energy drink is being marketed to children — and poses a risk to their health. courtney bembridge has more from the newsroom. prime is a sports drink owned partially by youtube influencers logan paul and ksi. it's hugely popular amongst kids and these are images from a london supermarket last year. you can see people rushing to try to buy the drink when it first went on sale and there were even limits about how many bottles each customer could buy. there's no caffeine in this drink, but not long after it was launched another product came out looking quite similar. now these are the two products side by side. this is the hydration drink we were talking about. this one, as you can see by the label down here, is an energy drink.

but us senator chuck schumer says it is near impossible for the average consumer to be able to tell the difference. he says that that's putting children at risk. this is what he said. we're here today to issue a public warning to parents about their kids drinking this drink called prime and, two, we're here to ask the fda to step in and investigate prime, which is one of the summer's hottest beverage sensations for kids. a lot of parents may never heard of it, but their kids have because prime is engaged in a vast advertising campaign aimed at kids, even though kids aren't supposed to drink a drink with this much caffeine. let's have a look at the amount of caffeine we're talking about. so, in a can of prime there's about 200 milligrams of caffeine. compare that to one of its main rivals, red bull, and you can see that it's got less than half the amount, about 80 milligrams, albeit in a smaller can. if we compare that to a can

of coca cola, you can see that it is significantly lower. there's more than six times the amount of caffeine in a can of prime compared to a can of coke. well, the company has defended its product and said that it contains a label saying it shouldn't be consumed by anyone under the age of 18, but there are still calls for it to be further regulated. the k—pop super—group bts have released a memoir in south korea to mark their tenth anniversary. it contains a detailed account of their musical career so far and their individual struggles with the pressures of fame. the group became the first south korean act to top the main us charts. last year the seven members announced they would take a temporary break to focus on solo projects — while several carry out mandatory military service. before we go, some picturesjust released coming into his year at the bbc from windsor castle and you can see there king charles and president biden meeting there. this is after a

very warm welcome he received outside where president biden listened to the us national anthem performed by the welsh guard and he has been inside the castle for talks with the king and we know these talks, the conversation will remain private but we expect climate change, conservation and also the war in ukraine probably to be issues that are discussed between the two men. to remind you, president biden's stop of a visit to the uk is only to a nato summit in lithuania and he also met with rishi sunak earlier in the day and describe the relationship between the us and uk as a rock solid. we will have continuing coverage from windsor and from downing street throughout the day, stay with us. hello. good afternoon. it's looking distinctly unsettled, the weather, through the coming week with showers or longer spells of rain, very few places

escaping those showers, but there will be some sunshine, as well, as we've already seen today and as we'll continue to see in some areas. it's really been quite wet for wales, for example, already this morning. that rain's advancing northwards and eastwards. further south and east of that it is largely dry and settled, but some wetter weather working into the midlands and northern england. it's already heavy rain across parts of northern ireland, some thunderstorms around here. into southern scotland, as well. the north of scotland, some sunny spells and showers. it may brighten up in wales, as well, through the next few hours. it should, to the south and east of that band of rain, stay mostly dry, so, hopefully, a mostly full day's play at wimbledon, with just the outside chance of a shower. but come this evening, then the cloud does tend to roll in. the heavier rain coming in this time across southern parts of england, the midlands, into east anglia. further north, it's a scattering of showers, and some heavy showers at that with rumbles of thunder, and some wetter weather making its way into the north—east of scotland. it's clearly going to be quite a muggy night further south with all that moisture around,

as well as some heavy rain that will linger into tuesday rush. so, yes, quite a wet start potentially across east anglia, southern parts of england, and that will take a little while to clear. once it does so, i think a slightly fresher day. we're starting to pull the winds in from the north and west. the gusty winds actually during today and this evening and overnight will tend to ease a little bit across southern areas into tomorrow. that change in wind direction notable in the north. still heavy frequent showers and some of them with rumbles of thunder, but slightly fresher air that's coming around our area of low pressure. it as that low pressure drifts out into the north sea, we shift that wind direction down to a north—westerly. on wednesday, a fresher day even further south, but some sunshine. but look at those heavy showers — slow moving showers, close to that area of low pressure. there will be some real downpours around with hail and with thunder. there could be some local flooding as a result of that on the roads with spraying standing water. if anything, thursday may be a little less showery with a brief ridge of high pressure coming in, but by friday we've got these next areas of low pressure and their attendant weather fronts moving in, so the unsettled picture

continues notjust into friday, but into next weekend, as well.
