that's very, very clearly at the heart of what the belfast good friday agreement is trying to do.s the economic and territorial integrity of the whole united kingdom. and that's what it's all about. jill biden�*s security adviser says you are impeding that very peace process. i think that what we want is something that enables us to protect trade flows, east—west as well as north—south, and that's easily doable. i'm very optimistic about this, i think that's easily doable, and the reason to do that is because that is the way to preserve the central balance of the belfast good friday agreement which has to look at things both north—south with the island of ireland, but also east—west and don't forget that the bulk of the trade from northern ireland goes east—west. locally a very big week for cornwall, you have announced some town steals today, but we knew about this in 2019. what is the real legacy, because it is not that for cornwall? let's go back to raf mildenhall in suffolk — where joe wherejoe biden where joe biden has just wherejoe biden hasjust arrived on the stage. it's act

then, by implication, it harms the relationship between dublin and belfast.ill be saying this clearly to the irish government, it is not acceptable for them to be on one side of this argument. it is not acceptable for them to simply listen from a nationalist perspective and not listen to the concerns of unionists. they say they are a guarantor of the agreement but that means guaranteeing the rights of unionists because that is what the agreement does as well as nationalists. it means respecting the principle of consent, which they enshrined in their own constitution as a result of the belfast agreement. the northern ireland protocol doesn't respect fully the principle of consent. talk us through what could happen from here on him if he is going to be first minister, if there is an area of complication as well? yes. area of complication as well? yes, because sir— area of complication as well? yes, because sirjeffrey _ area of complication as well? ya: because sirjeffrey donaldson is an mp and if he wants to be first minister at the northern ireland assembly he

winds, so bringing relatively mild air. 18 degrees even though it stays cloudy in both glasgow and belfastine and temperatures into the low 20s. now, thursday will see a bit more rain across northern areas of the uk, a few showers drifting away southwards with time, and generally, a little bit more in the way of cloud in the skies, but there will still be some bright or sunny spells getting through that cloud. favoured spots across east wales, the midlands, southern counties of england as well. top temperatures of about 22. we end the week with cloud and rain affecting southern areas of england, slowly pulling away. northerly winds elsewhere should bring a better chance of the cloud breaking up with a bit more sunshine developing across northern areas, but it will be a bit cooler. despite that, even in thejune sunshine, it should still feel pleasant and warm. into next week, and this time yesterday, we were looking at two different scenarios, both based on a trough that was diving across the uk with a bill of pressure behind it. these two models have kind of, sort of come into line — that

we will hear from our correspondent in glasgow and thomas morgan in cardiff but annjohnson is in belfasty being about a step behind some of the other parts of the uk. the 21st ofjune was never going to be the abolition of all the restrictions here, that was only ever possible further injuly restrictions here, that was only ever possible further in july and whether easing in ever possible further injuly and whether easing in england and change to the timeline then makes any difference, we will have to wait and see. but politics could come into this because the first minister here, arlene foster, is due to resign her post in the next hour and it's not clear if the preferred candidate to take over will be endorsed. it looks like northern ireland will actually end the day without a first minister and that could impinge on the executive meeting that was supposed to take place here on thursday, do decide the next agent easing the lockdown. definitely very cautious moves across northern ireland, even though case numbers here have been very low and there were zero deaths in the last 24—hour peri

to belfast now, where arlene foster has formally stepped down as northern ireland's first minister sixas ousted as dup leader. the new dup leader, edwin poots, has nominated paul givan as the new first minister, but this still has to be agreed with sinn fein. in her resignation statement, arlene foster urged northern ireland's political parties to stick to a language and cultural deal they agreed to in january last year — an issue that now threatens the existence of devolution. let us realise on every corner of this house that people live here who have an irish identity, a british identity — some have a british and irish identity — some are british and northern irish, and there are new emerging identities. but for all of this place is a place called home. we can poke each other in the eye and have a competition of "my identity is better than yours," but it is only by respecting each other�*s identity that we will move forward. and the beauty of the union is that we can have all of our identities and live here side by side. she ended her resignation statement with these words. let's be

european union, have one thing we absolutely all want to do and that is to uphold the good friday, the belfaste will be tricky conversations to come though, yet there is no question this summit by the sands marks a shift, the two leaders�* partners barefoot on the beach, the start of something after the horror of the pandemic that washed over the world, a new american leader more interested in partnership than provocation, willing to lavish praise not just on the shared past to lay hope to what lies ahead. this is a crucial diplomatic outing for the guest as well as the host. prime minister winston churchill and president franklin d roosevelt signed an agreement known as the atlantic charter. it was a statement of first principles, a promise that the united kingdom and the united states would meet the challenges of their age and they would meet it together. today, we build on that commitment. we discharged and discussed a broad range of issues on which the united kingdom and the united states are working in very close cooperation. we affirmed the special relationship, it's not said lightly, th

for most of the uk, we're looking at drier weather with sunshine. 21 degrees in glasgow and 20 in belfastg, is a day of sunshine and showers. the sunniest weather coming through during the afternoon, but that's also when the temperatures rise and we start to see those showers and thunderstorms develop. most of them will be across england and wales, but there will be big gaps between the showers. there'll be a lot of you that escape with a dry day, top temperatures around 23 celsius. this weekend, it looks unsettled, this area of low pressure pushing weather fronts across england and wales with further fronts following for the second half of the weekend as well. it's not going to be raining all weekend, but it is a weekend that will see rain at times, some bright spells between, and temperatures just coming down a degree or two. that's your latest weather. this is bbc news. the headlines... the us celebrity bill cosby has been released from prison, after a court overturned his conviction for sexual assault. judges in pennsylvania's supreme court ruled the jury had heard tainted evidence. t

european union have one thing we absolutely all want to do and that is to uphold the good friday, the belfastre we keep the balance of the peace process going. that is absolutely common ground and i am optimistic we can do it. what is really interesting is if you look at the last bit about the atlantic charter we were talking about a minute ago, there were two clauses about northern ireland and they talk about the signatories to the good friday agreement and they talk... the uk and ireland, and they talk about the uk and the united states working together to help northern ireland promote peace. there was no mention of the eu, who are not a signatory to the good friday agreement. and so i wonder if downing street will be happy with that tonight because there was no kind of strong arming by the us to say sign up to what the eu interprets the protocol to mean. i think number 10 will be quite pleased with that. although chatting to the eu people here at this summit, because, remember, there will be loads of eu leaders and presidents of eu institutions, their theory is that it would get borisjohns

emma vardy, bbc news, belfast. a new threat in iraq. on two occasions, american airbases have come under attack from iranian—made drones fitted with explosives. it follows earlier rocket attacks on western forces but commanders say the drones are a "game changer" in terms of threat. iran denies involvement, but its proxies in iraq, the shia militia, have been growing in strength. what is in effect a shadow war is taking place between the us and iran with iraq as the battleground. and iraqis are paying the price — as our middle east correspondent quentin sommerville reports from syria and iraq. american troops have grown used to being in iraq. still watchful, they move between here and syria almost as if the border didn't exist. they came to help fight the islamic state group. thatjob is almost done, but another war is taking place here, mostly in the shadows. we are the only people operating in this part of the world. the louisiana national guard have been operating here in north—eastern syria for about as long asj
