as we have said, the president, the first lady, they love their son and they support him as he continues to rebuild his life. while we were on air last night president biden 5 son was in court in delaware to hear a plea deal which would have kept him out of prison. hunter biden is facing two tax charges and a separate gun charge. but by the time the three hour court hearing had ended, the plea deal had fallen apart. a disagreement seemingly emerged over whether the deal covered all three charges, prosecutors said it didn t. biden�*s lawyers thought it did. and in the end thejudge ran out of patience and sent them away to work on it. what that means is that the legal issues overhanging hunter will continue to shadow president biden 5 releection campaign for weeks possibly months and maybe right into the heat of the 2024 election.

i'm joined now by the us political analyst — calvin dark. good analyst — calvin dark. to have you on the programr what good to have you on the programme. what went wrong in the process of this hearing? i what went wrong in the process of this hearing?— this hearing? i think that's a good cuestion. this hearing? i think that's a good question- a _ this hearing? i think that's a good question. a lot _ this hearing? i think that's a good question. a lot of _ this hearing? i think that's a good question. a lot of folks _ this hearing? i think that's a good question. a lot of folks are - question. a lot of folks are wondering the details of this plea agreement have been very public for the last few weeks. and for the attorneys to get there and not have attorneys to get there and not have a clear idea from both sides what this actually means actually feeds into the alleged suspicions that republicans put out there that this is somehow a sweetheart deal, there's something nefarious going on. whether or not that's true this really did make it look like something is kind of fishy. we 'ust heard the statement i something is kind of fishy. we 'ust heard the statement from i something is kind of fishy. we 'ust heard the statement from the h something is kind of fishy. we just i heard the statement from the white house that this is a private matter for hunter biden. but the intriguing part of this is the lawyer who is handling mr bidens congressional inquiries was in the courtroom and m1 inquiries was in the courtroom and mi point came out to take part in

the proceedings, which surely is going to raise questions about the presidents connections to this case. especially given that we are coming up especially given that we are coming up on an election year. politically speaking, not only the legal side the republicans need something to counter the narrative around donald trump and he's legal worries. when you think about the fact that you have biden walking this careful line between three things, one being a caring father who gives her a son, to being a president who wants to make sure it does not appear or in any way is a pressure from him on thejustice department and three, a president who wants to get reelected and is doing the campaign. all those things have to work together and it's a very delicate act.— things have to work together and it's a very delicate act. clearly we know what _ it's a very delicate act. clearly we know what the _ it's a very delicate act. clearly we know what the republicans - it's a very delicate act. clearly we know what the republicans want | it's a very delicate act. clearly we - know what the republicans want given that we were just talking about president trump's legal problems going into the selection. this is all in connection with the job that the hunter biden had. he probably

would've got thatjob in the hundreds of thousands he was paid had he not been biden son. the question is whether politically it causes problems for his problem two father, what do you think? is causes problems for his problem two father, what do you think?— father, what do you think? is quite a lona father, what do you think? is quite a long history _ father, what do you think? is quite a long history in — father, what do you think? is quite a long history in american - father, what do you think? is quite a long history in american politicsl a long history in american politics of unruly— a long history in american politics of unruly siblings or relatives, john— of unruly siblings or relatives, john quincy adams brother charles was discovered at a madman and didnt— was discovered at a madman and didn't do— was discovered at a madman and didn't do him a charm. ulysses s grant _ didn't do him a charm. ulysses s grant brother or a mixed up in a kickhack— grant brother or a mixed up in a kickback scheme. you got bill clinton's _ kickback scheme. you got bill clinton's brother roger who was a civil service — clinton's brother roger who was a civil service code name was headache. jimmy carter's brother billy. _ headache. jimmy carter's brother billy, liaisons with the libyan government. there's a long line of presidential relatives who got them into sticky— presidential relatives who got them into sticky trouble. this is slightly— into sticky trouble. this is slightly different and the fact that the opposition is really trying to weapon— the opposition is really trying to weapon isaac. i think if there's any suspicion _ weapon isaac. i think if there's any suspicion thatjoe weapon isaac. i think if there's any suspicion that joe bidens representatives are in court today i think— representatives are in court today i think that — representatives are in court today i think that is — representatives are in court today i think that is quite dangerous for him _ think that is quite dangerous for him up — think that is quite dangerous for him. up until now he's already said, i'm completely separate from everything whether it's to do a

i'm watching pictures of the white house and the italian prime minister hasjust gone into house and the italian prime minister has just gone into the doors we do not see the president together. george maloney came to power was some controversy because she is linked to the far right or it was. she's become quite an important ally for the west in regards ukraine. she has indeed- — for the west in regards ukraine. file: has indeed. it's for the west in regards ukraine. sue: has indeed. it's a for the west in regards ukraine. si9 has indeed. it's a classic case, at what you're saying is a lot of western leaders realising that italy does matter when it comes to building alliances against moscow. also she's been controversial not just because of immigration policies which she may say of the countries in europe are now adopting, whether it's returning people to third countries, the uk is doing that and their aggressive you are doing that. on climate change or be interesting to see whether she is shoulder to shoulder with the president on something that she is very sceptical about and a lot of people in italy

and pointed out that she arrived on a populist platform of rolling back next zero. italy has just suffered one of the worst ever heat waves with up that's beginning to be a political problem far. be interesting to see how the president handles that. it’s interesting to see how the president handles that-— handles that. it's interesting we have been _ handles that. it's interesting we have been connecting _ handles that. it's interesting we have been connecting italy - handles that. it's interesting we have been connecting italy in i handles that. it's interesting we | have been connecting italy in the united states tonight with regards to climate. they are to countries that share a lot in common at the moment in regards to what the he is doing to their respective populations.— doing to their respective --oulations. , . , populations. hundred percent. it is blazin: hot populations. hundred percent. it is blazing hot in _ populations. hundred percent. it is blazing hot in italy _ populations. hundred percent. it is blazing hot in italy amongst - populations. hundred percent. it is blazing hot in italy amongst many. populations. hundred percent. it is. blazing hot in italy amongst many of the population centres there for them _ the population centres there for them as— the population centres there for them as we said earlier it's blazing hot in _ them as we said earlier it's blazing hot in the — them as we said earlier it's blazing hot in the united states this is an interesting case of someone who is elected _ interesting case of someone who is elected to— interesting case of someone who is elected to be the head of italy that many— elected to be the head of italy that many perceive to be this right wing candidate _ many perceive to be this right wing candidate who in office seems to have _ candidate who in office seems to have moderated her image, has taken some _ have moderated her image, has taken some of— have moderated her image, has taken some of the _ have moderated her image, has taken some of the edge off, if you will. but it's_ some of the edge off, if you will. but it's very important as we just

put england into the bat for the green tinge pitch for that while the host of pink and with 62— 03 wickets forjust 11 runs saw ben docket, zak crawley and joe root come out very quickly. harry broke and mow an allie offered some resistance. brooke dropped on five going on to make 85 but again england collapsed losing the final three wickets in just 22 runs with a pulled off at 283 for the australia closing on 61-1. 222 runs. i think we got a respectable total there. a few more than we were expecting. i think they bowled quite well. they had a decent day in the end as well. what about conditions, did you feel you're in for a big test? the ball was doing a fair bit. i got that little bit of look early on which helped but they were bowling in good areas and the pitch was helping.

meanwhile ireland's cricketers can start making plans for next year's t20 world cup. probably not how they would have wanted to do it but they've qualified — after their match against germany was abandoned due to overnight rain in edinburgh. the point is enough to ensure a top—two finish in the qualifying tournament. ireland face hosts scotland in their final qualifier on friday in a match which will decide the outright tournament winner. scotland securing qualification after a convincing 33—run victory over denmark. the t20 world cup is due to take place in the west indies and the united states. we've had ourfirst major shock at the women's world cup — and it leaves the co—hosts and one of the pre—tournament dark horses — australia, staring elimination in the face. that's after they lost to nigeria — a team ranked 30 places below them. however, it was australia who took the lead through former west ham midfielder emily van egmond with a smart finish. but nigeria fought back scoring three goals of their own, asisat oshoala with what proved to be the winner in a 3—2 victory. australia face the olympic champions

canada in theirfinal match — knowing they'll need to avoid defeat to stand a chance of reaching the last 16. but what a day for nigerian football. i'm going to give kudos to my team—mates for the they play their heart out. no one knows what this team is made. we only have to come to the field and show ourselves like i said earlier, this team has a lot to offer. everyone in the world has seen that today. a surprise result too for the defending champions, the usa. they were held to a 1—1 draw by the netherlands — their opponents in 2019 final. despite 16 wins in a row, the top ranked side in the world needed their captain lindsay horan to dig out a point which keeps them top of their group, just ahead of the dutch on goal difference. portugal sit third in that group — just a point further back. they beat vietnam 2—0, telma encarnasao with portugal's opener. while they'll be seen as the underdogs it does mean a win

against usa in theirfinal group match would put them through and knock the defending champions out. manchester united might have competition as they try to sign atalanta striker rasmus hojlund. french giants paris saint—germain have bid just over a2 million pounds for the denmark international but we understand that it will be their last and only offerfor his services. hojlund is manchester united's number one target in this transfer window but they're yet to agree a deal with atalanta. on the pitch, there was a shock defeat for scottish side hibernian — as they lost 2—1 to andorran side inter escaldes in the first leg of their europa conference league qualifying tie. jean luc with what proved to be the winner. the second leg is next thursday. to tennis where dan evans is in action this evening in the second round of the latest atp tour event in atalanta. beaten in the last 16. he faces the world number 88

dominik koepfer — and is a set up. to tennis where dan evans is in action this evening in the second round of the latest atp tour event in atalanta. disappointment for burridge, she is out in straight sets. the world number 108 stephanie. there's been more medal success for great britain's swimmers at the world aquatics championships injapan. duncan scott and tom dean both had a place on the podium in the men's 200m medley final — as scott took silver and dean won bronze, whilst lauren cox won bronze in the women's 50m backstroke. and that's all the sport for now. hello. if you spent your day under cloudy skies, i'm sure you'll have noticed the quite muggy, humid feel to proceedings. where the sun came out, given that humid air, temperatures climbed quite readily. now, on the earlier satellite picture, you can see we've had

quite a lot of cloud, but some big breaks, some spells of sunshine. and thenjust behind me, this little swirl of clouds, that's the centre of an area of low pressure which will be pushing eastwards, bringing unsettled conditions for the next few days. in the short term, we keep quite a lot of cloud, mist and murk, some bits and pieces of rain overnight, although signs of some clearer skies edging in from the west. temperatures between 11 and 16 degrees. so, anotherfairly warm and muggy start to friday morning. so, for friday, quite a lot of cloud around across the eastern half of the uk to start. this band of rain moving very slowly across orkney and towards shetland. and later in the day, we will see this band of showers pushing in towards northern ireland. but in between, a bit more in the way of sunshine, just one or two showers here and there and temperatures between 17 and 2a degrees. so i think there is just the chance of catching a shower at the oval for the ashes test match, and the increasing chance of showers as we head into the weekend. and that is because low pressure is going to be in charge of our weather.

now, we've had low pressure with us for the last couple of weekends, and here we go again. now, around this area of low pressure, it's not going to be raining all the time, but there will be quite a few showers. on saturday, those showers most likely to affect parts of northern ireland and scotland, where some could be heavy and perhaps thundery. some showers for england and wales, perhaps not as many, spells of sunshine in between. it's going to be quite a breezy day and a fresher—feeling day as well. temperatures north to south, 15 to 22 degrees. and then we get into sunday, sunshine and showers again. the showers perhaps focused across parts of northern england, down into east anglia. some more rain later in the day into northern ireland. across central and southern parts of the uk, it is going to be an unusually windy day for the time of year. nothing exceptional, nothing extreme, butjust unusually breezy for a late july day. and quite cool as well — 15 to 21 degrees. so, to sum things up, for the weekend, we will see a mix of sunny spells and showers, some of the showers will be heavy. it will be quite breezy and feeling

rather cool for the time of year.

july is set to be the world's hottest month on record. the us president describes climate change as an existential threat. wildfires are just one consequence of the extreme weather caused by rising temperatures. the head of the un had this warning.

the era of global boiling has arrived. the air is unbreathable, the heat is unbearable and the level of fossil fuel profits and climate inaction is unacceptable. we'll hear from our correspondents across the globe about the effects of climate change, and what action countries are taking. and the other main stories on tonight's programme: another resignation over the closure of nigel farage's bank account — the chief executive of coutts steps down. prince harry can take the sun's publisher to court — over claims it used illegal methods to gather information about him, a judge has ruled. and portraits of british veterans of the korean war — as soliders remember 70 years since the armistice. on newsnight at 10:30pm, global warming is giving way to global boiling, according to the head of the un. is there yet a political will or a technological way
