learned and corresponded big mass is covering biden's visit and joins us now from carpets bay in cornwall. that's where the us president will meet with british prime minister boars johnson, today's thursday, and where the g 7 leaders are set to meet to morrow present by kicking off this whirlwind tour in the u. k. what's his priority there? well, president biden definitely wants to re establish the us as a global power. you want to reestablish leadership in areas such as climate change and also when it comes to tackling the coven panoramic, he's also meeting boris johnson, the u. k. prime minister. the yuko of course, historically a very important dallas off the u. s. however, when it comes to the customer relationship between those 2 d, this might be a little bit delicate this meeting today because president biden had one like and

johnson to a clone of president trump. however, we know that both leaders, it is an important meeting. it is also important for both of them that this g 7 summit goes well, so we assume that they will try to make good with the u. k no longer in the u. back it is their work to be done to reconfigure us british relations. well, yes, sure. and we know, you know, the u. k has only just left the european union and president biden was not a fan of breaks it. unlike history de says, donald trump and he's headed my has made it always very, very clear that for him having irish roots that this issue of ireland and of the good friday agreement of the peace process and the republic of ireland. that's an absolute priority for him. and just now we're seeing that the u. k. and you actually and gulf and quite a big grow over island,

over the border and then overboard attacks and basically technical issues that nevertheless cause big problems when it comes to the relation between the u. k. u 2, we will expect that joe biden was desperately raised this issue and might help boys johnson off when it comes to the piece poses the know the knowledge we can. thank you very much. those are correspondent, big master in carbon bay, in the u. k. cyclic some other stories making headlines around the world today. the world's largest meat processing company, j. b. s, says it pay the ransom of $11000000.00 during a cyber attack. earlier this month, the attack interrupted cattle, slobbering and us plants and threatened to disrupt food supply chains. it followed earlier cyber attack on the colonial gas pipeline and the f. b i is recovered. most of the rents and paid in that attack. a major oil pipeline, a post by environmentalists and climate change campaigners has been cancelled. the

keystone ex l pipeline would have carried crude oil from canada to the u. s. president joe biden revoked it's permit on, on his 1st day in office. now the company behind it has scrapped the project child labor has risen for the 1st time in 20 years. united nations says 160000000 children around the world are forced to work more than half or younger than 12. the un is warning that the pan demik could push millions more into labor. european union has condemned a russian court's decision to ban organizations connected to the opposition leader elected body. judges in moscow declared the groups to be extremists, the ruling bars, people associated with the groups from running for public office. dashing the hopes of nevada, these allies of seeking seats in parliamentary elections in september activists to have worked with the organizations and anyone who donates to them or shares the

groups materials could be prosecuted and go to prison. earlier i spoke to moscow correspondent, emily sure. when i asked her what the ruling means for the future, the opposition movement in russia. the biggest hurdle that now by nice allies face now is people's growing fear. because this extremism label means that if you're associated with the organization or were associated with it, you know, you could face real consequences. for example, nobody has been calling for people to register for what he calls smart voting. which means basically these allies will send you the candidate who in, in the vote, could most likely be the ruling united russia party in your area. and, you know, people could be afraid to even register their for example. there was a case recently where a database of nevada ne supporters was actually leaked. and i think that fear now will be growing going forward. so it's,

it's hard to know how many people will be likely to take that risk. cultural life here in germany is slowly reviving, after months of locked down. what's normally berlin's top event in the middle of winter is now taking place as an outdoor celebration. the berlin international film festival is already handed out its trophies, the gold bears, and an online competition. now, audiences can finally see the entries under summer skies. berlin museum island is being turned into a giant open s cinema. first on the build more attain in. jodie foster stars as a lawyer defending a suspect being held at guantanamo bay. after $911.00. there will be 3 names on the lawsuit. united states of america, donald rumsfeld, and george w bush like a list is jodie foster won't be here in person because of travel restrictions.

instead, it's a burly knowledge for the fans. i think we all need a little bit of hope and happiness. this event comes after a very long, dark moment and made the most important thing for us is really to give the feeling that it's possible to stay together. and without any fears, it's a little different this year outdoor screenings only, and the berlin bears are already awarded the pandemic and the rise of screaming, changing all the rooms and for more on this years, rather different berlin film festival enjoyed by the w culture correspondent scott rocks program is so finally a bell in the, in the summer, but without the awards. how significant is it, scott that these films are finally being screened?

i think it's incredibly significant. i was at the opening ceremony last night, and one of the actors i spoke to the red carpet. he said it was like coming out of hibernation because we've all been sort of in our own little caves at home, watching, watching films with us, of light of our laptop. and this is the 1st time for many people and maybe over a year that they've been able to see a film on a big screen with, with a real live audience even though with, with open air and not in the cinema. and for the film industry and for cinema fans, i think it's a hugely important moment. sort of aside, hopefully that things maybe are getting back to normal, that movies are, are coming back, so kills more about the films themselves and the viewing experience here. what is it that the, that film goers have to look forward to? from the view experience, it's quite different than your typical belly, not. which takes place usually in the winter. and if you're cold and you're inside

this, these, these little theaters, these are all open air theaters are doing for this festival, the summer festival. so they're in these quite dramatic, impressive locations. last night it was on the museum island in front of the famous program on museum. the you could see the bullying cathedral in front of you and the museum behind you and the huge screen in front of you really impressive location in terms of the the films deflection here is phenomenal. last night we saw the martini, which is a big some hollywood film with jodie foster. but there's a lot of very interesting art house movies being shown to me. the one that won the golden bear, which is the phenomenal title of bad luck banging or loony porn. it's a social satire from o mania. phenomenal film, exactly the right film for sort of this moment in time. after the sort of crazy year that we've had berlin's culture minister called this year's belly, not a new start for culture, but the pandemic really has had taken a horrible tool on the film industry and culture as

a whole. how deep has the impact been on the film industry? it's been phenomenal, particularly in the center beside. send was of course, have been shot for almost a year now. the there have been allowed to reopen in some parts of germany, but there hasn't still really been a complete sort of nationwide reopening and germany's a bit different. a lot of other countries in that there's a lot of sort of mom and pops in opperation here. there's a lot of sort of small business owners have one or 2 syllabus instead of the sort of huge change change to dominate everything. and they've been really, really hard that they can sort of take a hit of one year without income. so up till now the german government has supported these are small operations, but it may be seen how quickly they can come back as start to reopen. the big question for all these monitors across germany is, will people come back in droves? will they re enter the cinema or have people have gotten out of the habit of going to the movies and for a year doubt they haven't been able to. i think that's the real question. the answer that will show how deep the damage has been to the cinema district. people

going to pass barely not as like yourself, are used to shivering out on the red carpet, we see stars coming in, you know, often some, some of the women wearing dresses in this very cold temperatures. finally, we're in the summer. do you think maybe the brilliant on past might end up happening in the summer in the future? yeah, i mean it's funny go way back before my time. it was a summer festival that was the original idea of the many, many years ago. they move it up to the winter months also to fit better with the sort of film industry calendar to happen before the oscar. and so there's that big push before that having a really now late in the summer is phenomenal. like the last light being under the sky. in warm weather people were having a great time of it gets real berlin summer feeling. but i don't think it's going to be going to happen. i think they might have some special events in the future, but it's going to be a winter event going forward. sadly, scott, thank you so much. our calls correspondence, scott rockville. you're watching
