i�*m sure we will hear similar sentiments in ballina this evening.our reflections on that because there�*s the impasse politically there that�*s a real problem, and we saw real subtlety and diplomacy from the president, very aware that if he moved in and tried to pressurise, it might backfire. but how much help do you think the visit is to actually, in concrete terms, move things forward, get power—sharing? in concrete terms, move things forward, get power-sharing? there's no stick america _ forward, get power-sharing? there's no stick america can _ forward, get power-sharing? there's no stick america can wave _ forward, get power-sharing? there's no stick america can wave here, - forward, get power-sharing? there's no stick america can wave here, it i no stick america can wave here, it wouldn�*t work, there�*s no magic wand the president can wave to resolve the president can wave to resolve the problems of northern ireland. he made it clear in belfast that it�*s up made it clear in belfast that it�*s up to you guys here to reach an agreement. but he

forjoe biden in many ways but i think the fact that he is doing his last engagement in the town of ballina be speaking at the cathedral on friday night, because a lot about him and his feelings towards ireland. he describes himself as a proud irish—american, proud irish catholic, and is admittedly important to him, those roots in the country. some news from here in the us. suggesting the charges against evan gershkovich are politically motivated, wrongful detention centres allows the us to allocate more resources to the case and that is something a message the wall streetjournal itself has also echoed that evan gershkovich was wrongfully detained in russia. stay with us here on bbc news. iam sumi i am sumi somaskanda in washington. hello. tuesday will be a day which the movie will have to make the most of the morning whether because it'll be a day on which conditions will be rapidly deteriorating with wet weather spreading to many areas from the south and west, and by the end of the day and be increasingly windy, especially around western coasts and hills. a low pressure approaching now, b

his great grandfather was a brick makerfrom ballina.ve just been speaking to a distinct cousin. president biden regularly speaking of his irish heritage and very pleased to have been able to make this journey is part of the visit. today very much the formal part of this official visit, where we will get details too of a speech he is due to me a little later. we understand president biden will talk of a shared vision for the future of us — irish relations when he addresses both houses of the irish parliament. president biden has said he has had the time of his life as he has had the time of his life as he took part in this journey. some of the things he is also restricted to touch on, of course, will be reborn in ukraine, something that is likely to be high on the agenda for both men when they conclude these meetings —— the war in ukraine. they will talk of close partnership between countries and of course island's participation in the support for ukraine in the war. let's have a listen. this is mike downer. you have a busy few days. ina

one of greater liberty, greater dignity and greater possibilities for ballina, joe biden is literally a larger the life figure. this mural completed in 3 days by a community group just before his presidential victory in 2020. i caught up with the artist who designed it and the rest of the group who helped make it reality. if the team effort we were spend the nights dierdon a sender general way to got up and listen to or god leathers and you know, paint here, paint there, but look, we got through it and, and the end result is absolutely perfect and on. so we're all proud of alan prouder here. people have done that. there have been disappointments on this trip. biden's visit to belfast for example was reduced to just a few hours, but the enthusiasm of the welcome in dublin and dunn dog and now in mayo has exceeded even the most optimistic expectations. yeah, i truly extraordinary. 3 day trip by the u. s. president trip, which is combined the parcel, the political turbine spoke recently with me about the importance of is irish ministry and of a sense of home coming under a sense event wh

we are seeing the sites earlier on from ballina, thousands of people turned out there, where patricks born. just looking at pictures of air force one waiting for president biden to arrive. there was a lot of waiting for president biden to arrive yesterday, so we will see if he is on schedule today. it is clear from all the pictures that he is enjoying himself, meeting as many members of the irish public as possible, and he seems to be related to quite a few of them! we will keep you up—to—date with all of his movements. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. he's run, he's cycled and, all in, charlie's raised almost £20,000 for charity and the cause is very personal for him and his family. a car crash when he was four left serious injuries and years of plastic surgery. the charity was helping me out a lot, so we just decided to do charity challenges. the money charlie's raised is for the charity changing faces, which works with people who have a disfigurement or visible difference. he's 11 now and he's made huge progress, a process, though, that's sometimes been diffic

and then he is topping off his visit with a speech in ballina, outside of the town pass cathedral, inf thousands of people. he has cousins in the town that he sees very often. in fact, they sometimes go to the white house, especially st patrick's day. and when one of them got married, he said a message. so he obviously feels there is ties to ireland and his irish family very deeply. charlotte, you are talking about that address. just the fourth us president to make that address to both houses of parliament. in contrast to what we saw in previous days, of course the stormont assembly suspended. there was some frustration perhaps that he wasn't able to speak with politicians there. this feels very different on this leg of the trip. it there. this feels very different on this leg of the trip.— this leg of the trip. it does feel very different. _ this leg of the trip. it does feel very different. and _ this leg of the trip. it does feel very different. and i _ this leg of the trip. it does feel very different. and i say - this leg of the trip. it does feel. very different. and i say actua
