first, the latest headlines. at least 16 students are reported to have died — and many more are trapped in the rubble — after a school in central nigeria collapsed. it was not immediately clear what caused the collapse but residents said it came after three days of heavy rains. a rescue operation is continuing. at least 48 people are missing in central nepal after two buses were swept into a river by a landslide during heavy rains. local media said three people had escaped afterjumping out of one of the vehicles. nepal's prime minister has directed government agencies to put all their resources into a search and rescue mission. here in the uk, police investigating the discovery of human remains — which were in two suitcases left at the clifton suspension bridge in bristol — have arrested

a 36—year—old man in the greenwich area of london. however, officers have said he's not the man they are appealing for. earlier, police said the remains belonged to two adult men. and a man has been arrested on suspicion of murdering a woman and her two daughters in a crossbow attack in hertfordshire on tuesday. kyle clifford remains in a serious condition in hospital. carol hunt and her daughters, hannah, who was 28, and louise who was 25, were attacked in their home in bushey. let's begin in he us with president biden. he's arriving in michigan, where he'll hold a campaign rally, hoping to shore up support. he needs it after this. his appearances at the end

of the nato summit. a couple of slip—ups has lead to more calls for him to step aside in the presidential race. biden is 81—year—old and he's facing questions over his age and ability to serve another term. let's look at the slip—up. first, he called president zelensky, president putin. and now i want to hand over to the president of ukraine, who has as much courage as he has determination. ladies and gentlemen, president putin. applause. president putin? you've got to beat president putin! president zelensky. i am so focused on beating putin, we've got to worry about it. anyway... mr president. i am better. you are a hell of a lot better. then within the first few minutes of the press conference itself, biden called his vice president, kamala harris... ..vice president trump. what concerns do you have about vice president harris's ability to beat donald trump if she were at the top of the ticket? look. i wouldn't have picked vice president trump to be vice president if i thought

she was not qualified to be vice president. so let's start there. number one. the fact is that the consideration is that i think i am the most qualified person to run for president. i beat him once and i will beat him again. let's ta ke let's take through this with our panel for the first time. caroline and leon, great to see you both. caroline, what is your assessment of whyjoe biden stands right now? that why joe biden stands right now? that was re whyjoe biden stands right now? twat was pretty painful. look, biden has a long road ahead of him from now until august, which is when the convention is. everything he does will be scrutinised, every sample and misstep. that is not, that is a crazy high bar that he is not meeting. his supporters have already been saying that he appeared statesman—like last night, if you minus a couple of those lips.

unfortunately, this is the president of united states. he does not get any latitude here. bottom line is, i think that it was a bit of a bummer, thatis think that it was a bit of a bummer, that is a political term, by the way. he did just fine and that is a bummer because it wasn't enough to tip the balance right now and force exit the race. but it wasn't flawless enough that it would quell the concerns that a growing number of notches voters but of his own party, have had. that is my assessment. it is a bummerfor the american people right now, notjust for biden. figs american people right now, not 'ust for biden. �* , american people right now, not 'ust for biden. ~ , ., ., ~ for biden. as you are talking then, we were seeing — for biden. as you are talking then, we were seeing these _ for biden. as you are talking then, we were seeing these live - for biden. as you are talking then, we were seeing these live pictures| we were seeing these live pictures of biden who has arrived in detroit ahead of this campaign rally. our correspondence is there as well. we

will be chatting to her a bit later. we'll say on these pictures of the meet and greet their but leon, let's get your thoughts. t meet and greet their but leon, let's get your thoughts.— get your thoughts. i agree with a lot of what _ get your thoughts. i agree with a lot of what caroline _ get your thoughts. i agree with a lot of what caroline said. - get your thoughts. i agree with a lot of what caroline said. the - get your thoughts. i agree with a j lot of what caroline said. the bar is so _ lot of what caroline said. the bar is so high — lot of what caroline said. the bar is so high going into an election year— is so high going into an election year and — is so high going into an election year and the truth is, joe biden wants_ year and the truth is, joe biden wants to — year and the truth is, joe biden wants to be talking about his legacy and talking about his record as president— and talking about his record as president which, on the face of it, has not _ president which, on the face of it, has not been bad. the economy growing — has not been bad. the economy growing again after the uncertainty of covid _ growing again after the uncertainty of covid and he has got a positive story— of covid and he has got a positive story to _ of covid and he has got a positive story to tell. he is not able to tell that — story to tell. he is not able to tell that story because the only focus _ tell that story because the only focus -- — tell that story because the only focus —— the only focus is on his mental— focus —— the only focus is on his mental state and his fitness to serve — mental state and his fitness to serve as— mental state and his fitness to serve as president. you cannot have that going _ serve as president. you cannot have that going into an election year when _ that going into an election year when have an opponent who is so sharp— when have an opponent who is so sharp on— when have an opponent who is so sharp on campaigning as donald trump, — sharp on campaigning as donald trump, who can create these memes, which _ trump, who can create these memes, which are _ trump, who can create these memes, which are quite nasty but they do .et which are quite nasty but they do get the _ which are quite nasty but they do get the cut through, but his mental state _ get the cut through, but his mental state and _ get the cut through, but his mental state and his fitness to serve. i think— state and his fitness to serve. i think that — state and his fitness to serve. i think that is the biggest shadow

will continue to make more gas. that is coming from the biden camp, via reuters news agency. what do you make of that other strategy? ht is reuters news agency. what do you make of that other strategy? it is a aood make of that other strategy? it is a good example _ make of that other strategy? it is a good example of— make of that other strategy? it is a good example of political— make of that other strategy? it is a good example of political spin, - good example of political spin, trying — good example of political spin, trying to— good example of political spin, trying to turn a negative into a positive — trying to turn a negative into a positive and what they are trying to do is _ positive and what they are trying to do is say, _ positive and what they are trying to do is say, this guy is authentic, he is not _ do is say, this guy is authentic, he is not trying — do is say, this guy is authentic, he is not trying to be something that he isn't — is not trying to be something that he isn't i— is not trying to be something that he isn't. ithink is not trying to be something that he isn't. i think that is the line we will— he isn't. i think that is the line we will he _ he isn't. i think that is the line we will be hearing coming from the biden— we will be hearing coming from the biden administration. they will say, he is _ biden administration. they will say, he is being — biden administration. they will say, he is being true to himself, he is not the _ he is being true to himself, he is not the slick and polished politician. he ever has been. that is the _ politician. he ever has been. that is the line — politician. he ever has been. that is the line they are trying out but it does— is the line they are trying out but it does not— is the line they are trying out but it does not cut at the very highest levels _ it does not cut at the very highest levels of— it does not cut at the very highest levels of politics. i think the problem. _ levels of politics. i think the problem, by drawing attention to the fact that _ problem, by drawing attention to the fact that he makes gas, that he does have the _ fact that he makes gas, that he does have the slip—ups, is that itjust amplifies — have the slip—ups, is that itjust amplifies the narrative going towards _ amplifies the narrative going towards the november election. they are clearly— towards the november election. they are clearly trying to spin a negative _ are clearly trying to spin a negative into a positive but that line isn't— negative into a positive but that line isn't going to hold under every level— line isn't going to hold under every level of— line isn't going to hold under every

kitchen sink at it at the moment. that is not what you want to be. you want to be focused instead on being strong ahead of the convention, strong ahead of the convention, strong ahead of the convention, strong ahead of the november election and of course, the spotlight more on your opponent, who is a notorious liar and of course convicted felon.— is a notorious liar and of course convicted felon. stay there, both. i will come back _ convicted felon. stay there, both. i will come back to _ convicted felon. stay there, both. i will come back to pretty _ convicted felon. stay there, both. i will come back to pretty quickly. i will come back to pretty quickly. just want to underline, we are now heading into the world of the hypothetical. so what happens if president biden ends his re—election campaign? vice president kamala harris is seen as the top candidate. we're going to look at one of the more unusual sides of her popularity for some people. as the washington post is reporting, she's being embraced online by progressive content creators, with users reposting odd or awkward public moments, saying they show her as relatable. let's take a look at one of the memes. everything is in context. my mother used to... she would give us a hard time sometimes and she would say to us, "i don't know what's wrong

with young people." "you think you just fell out of a coconut tree?" laughs you exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you. taylor lorenz is a tech reporter for the washington post — she's been covering this story — and explained to me how these memes have developed. people find her wacky, kind of nonsensical quotes and missives really relatable and funny. she's got this kind of raucous laugh that people love, and she just seems like everyone says, like your favourite wine aunt, you know, that's a little bit zany and, is just simply more relatable and funny than biden right now. i can see that, and i can see a kind of popularity online. but how much does that transfer? is this just a niche corner of the internet, or is there something wider there? no, it's not a niche corner. i think it started, almost ironically, you had a lot of big

former bernie supporting leftist meme accounts joking about her. but now everybody is saying they're fully coconut pilled and they love her. and especially among gen z, you're seeing a lot of fan cams. i think there's a lot of excitement that the party might actually put someone that they can actually feel like they can rally behind. when you talk to young voters, and especially these young content creators that have audiences of millions, they don't want to get behind biden. he's never resonated with them. they felt like they were compromising for him in 2020, and just the possibility of someone like kamala is exciting. coke upheld was a new one on me. caroline and leon are here with me. —— coconut pilled. what do you make of that internet meanwhile potentially rolling over? everyone

is runnina potentially rolling over? everyone is running around _ potentially rolling over? everyone is running around the _ potentially rolling over? everyone is running around the vice - potentially rolling over? everyone l is running around the vice president at the moment, i think that is a bit of a stretch. she was known as the prosecutor in chief. she had difficult assignment, and she certainly isn't necessary someone who gen z kind of thing is super relatable. the memes, yes but i don't know if she is quite there. she has excelled in the region of reproductive rights, which will be on the ballot on a lot of states come november. young people in particular, very concerned and certainly, were to be the easiest pick ifjoe biden were to exit? yes, her name is ready on the ballot. and so his delegates would automatically go to her. i think there would be some oxygen in the race. that is

some oxygen in the race. that is some of the strongest arguments about biden bowing out now. it would inject some oxygen into the race, it would inject some oxygen amongst democratic voters who have been very apathetic at the foot of an 81—year—old taken the mantle come january. 81-year-old taken the mantle come janua . ., ., , ., 81-year-old taken the mantle come janua . ., ., .«r 81-year-old taken the mantle come janua . ., ., ., 81-year-old taken the mantle come janua. ., ., ., ., january. leon, what you make of that idea, january. leon, what you make of that idea. kamala — january. leon, what you make of that idea, kamala harris, _ january. leon, what you make of that idea, kamala harris, this _ january. leon, what you make of that idea, kamala harris, this is _ january. leon, what you make of that idea, kamala harris, this is orders i idea, kamala harris, this is orders hypothetical, of course, the what you make of it? t hypothetical, of course, the what you make of it?— you make of it? i think she is betterthan — you make of it? i think she is better than biden _ you make of it? i think she is better than biden at - you make of it? i think she is better than biden at the - you make of it? i think she is - better than biden at the moment because — better than biden at the moment because she can string a sentence together— because she can string a sentence together without making an embarrassing gaffe and if that is the lrar— embarrassing gaffe and if that is the bar in— embarrassing gaffe and if that is the bar in which we are holding a kind is— the bar in which we are holding a kind is it — the bar in which we are holding a kind is it too, she reaches that threshold _ kind is it too, she reaches that threshold. there are some issues around _ threshold. there are some issues around her— threshold. there are some issues around her popularity, there are some _ around her popularity, there are some issues around her record as vice president. clearly she is a trailblazer, the first woman to hold that role _ trailblazer, the first woman to hold that role. and that speaks to a lot of people. — that role. and that speaks to a lot of people, obviously. she is very capable — of people, obviously. she is very capable but is she the right candidate to take on a unique

there's a saying that "a week's a long time in politcs". well, the past seven days have been something of a whirlwind for keir starmer. last friday, he guided the labour party back to power, met the king who asked him to form a new government. he then appointed his cabinet, greeted more than a00 labour mp�*s to the house of commons and met various world leaders at nato's 75th anniversary meeting in washington. so how was week one? let's speak tojohn mcternan — who used to be tony blair's director of political 0perations — and is now a commentator and analyst. thanks for coming on the programme. what is your... we will get to the detail in the moment but a broad brush, week one, as much as we can get out of one way, what is your assessment of it? t get out of one way, what is your assessment of it?— assessment of it? i think keir starmer is — assessment of it? i think keir starmer is really _ assessment of it? i think keir starmer is really relaxed - assessment of it? i think keir starmer is really relaxed in i assessment of it? i think keirl starmer is really relaxed in his assessment of it? i think keir- starmer is really relaxed in his new position as prime minister. he has got a different style from his predecessors, he has got a different

tone and i think he has got an authority, he showed it at his first press conference and at the world stage in washington. and he showed it by looking like a world leader appearing on a global platform. so i think a very good week. the look and feel of it, has been a change and it feels like a change.— feels like a change. interesting. let's aet feels like a change. interesting. let's get into — feels like a change. interesting. let's get into some _ feels like a change. interesting. let's get into some of _ feels like a change. interesting. let's get into some of the - feels like a change. interesting. | let's get into some of the detail. let's get into some of the detail. let's do the international stuff because you look at that itinerary and you might think, my first couple of days on the job, i would rather stick around downing street a bit, get to know the corridors but he was straight off to washington. a lot to get your head around pretty quickly but actually, i suppose, he may as welljump in, you get to meet a lot of people straightaway? you welljump in, you get to meet a lot of people straightaway?— of people straightaway? you don't alwa s aet of people straightaway? you don't always get a _ of people straightaway? you don't always get a bilateral _ of people straightaway? you don't always get a bilateral weather - always get a bilateral weather present a united states in your first few days as prime minister. you don't get to be of all those

other leaders, president macron run, president trudeau, quite a lot of all those important people in one place. he had gone around the four nations of the united kingdom so he had actually a ready to edinburgh, belfast and cardiff, and so ready, their sense of being out and about and moving at pace, it was trying to give a sense of energy as well as everything else. and he had been in parliament for the first time being the prime minister and parliament, speaking to tory opposition, a shrunken tory opposition. so the international stage is so important for a prime minister. international stage is so important fora prime minister. quite international stage is so important for a prime minister. quite often you wait a long time to meet the president of united states. cant president of united states. can i ask a behind _ president of united states. can i ask a behind question? - president of united states. can i ask a behind question? what level of briefing will he be getting from his team because you can imagine it

taking over a newjob and going around the four nations, as you say, we are not directly involved in all the local regions and nations and international, how much does he depend on a team around him giving really detailed briefs? 0r depend on a team around him giving really detailed briefs? or is it more general, or will he be getting briefs and what different leaders like or don't like, what their families are like, give us an idea behind—the—scenes? he families are like, give us an idea behind-the-scenes?_ families are like, give us an idea behind-the-scenes? he will have had really detailed — behind-the-scenes? he will have had really detailed briefings _ behind-the-scenes? he will have had really detailed briefings for _ behind-the-scenes? he will have had really detailed briefings for all - really detailed briefings for all meetings he wanted. there are half a million civil servants in the uk, they knew that the nato summit was coming so they will have breathing packs ready for whoever was the prime minister. they will have personalised insert keir starmer because he has not met them all formally, but he has not met them as prime minister. in terms of the

other thing, the mayoral meeting, he will have had briefing prepared for him. when he came in on friday, he will have said, i will do this is my diary for next week, you have given me these events, i am giving you these events to slot in. i think, he is a former prosecuting lawyer. here's a who reads a brief and commands a brief really quickly so i think you will be able and willing to raise as much as is necessary to get on top of the issues and nuances of things that he needed to do for these initial meetings. there were quite important issues to be discussed in washington. thank you for that. i discussed in washington. thank you for that- i do _ discussed in washington. thank you for that. i do want _ discussed in washington. thank you for that. i do want to _ discussed in washington. thank you for that. i do want to come - discussed in washington. thank you for that. i do want to come back - discussed in washington. thank you for that. i do want to come back to l for that. i do want to come back to you, john but i want to bring in our panel, caroline and lyon. lyon, your assessment of week one? t

that will be really useful for voters in all parts of the country and perhaps some of those people who voted reform may say benefit from that. �* ,., ., voted reform may say benefit from that. �* ., x' , that. and something moving quickly i would like to — that. and something moving quickly i would like to see _ that. and something moving quickly i would like to see on _ that. and something moving quickly i would like to see on great _ that. and something moving quickly i would like to see on great british i would like to see on great british energy, decarbonising the economy is a great pillar of growth. we should start to get some of the details of that so they can see how scotland can be made from an oil and gas economy to a renewable economy, which has manyjobs in manufacturing and distribution as there are in oil and distribution as there are in oil and gas. so it would be great to see some of that. so there are big themes coming out and maybe some more quick wins. things like the national minimum wage, pay rise for

and some hill fog developing into tomorrow morning. so, it's a cloudy, damp, buta mild start to tomorrow morning. now high pressure remains out in the atlantic — it drifts a little further northwards as we head through saturday. low pressure still spiralling away in the north sea. it's developing more of a northeasterly wind as we head through saturday, so more of those showers just coming onshore, and even more, i think, through the day on sunday, too. but it's cloudy towards eastern areas. the best of the sunshine will tend to be across southern england into wales, perhaps the western highlands, northern ireland, northwest england, too, seeing some sunshine. watch out for some showers that will also develop — they'll melt away into the evening. temperatures, again, disappointingly low for the time of year, just ia—i9 celsius. and on sunday, with low pressure, remains out in the north sea again. we will see more showers across parts of northern england, down through southeastern scotland. there'll be more in the way of sunshine, though, further west, again, across western scotland, down through england and wales, and we'll see some higher temperatures, too.

any showers, any cloud should melt away into the evening to leave us with a dry and a fine end to the day. now further east, in germany for the euros final on sunday evening, then, well, it's looking dry — some thunderstorms there at the moment of course, but it will be drying out. temperatures generally in the low—to—mid—20s. now, as we head through into the start of next week, well, it's not too long before we see our next area of low pressure drifting from the southwest, but because we're drawing in a south—westerly wind, then the air will turn a little warmer. so, temperatures will be rising, here's the outlook for our capital cities — still rather unsettled with some showers, and possibly some longer spells of rain at times, but a bit drier for most. bye— bye.
