let's speak to nadine baba, who is a downing street for us nadeem. let's start with that meeting between rush you through not president barton. it took place a few hours ago. it was very brief. we know that they went on the same page when it came to costa munitions, which the u. s. has promised the crane. do we know if that topic came up in the conversation? what else was said as well? yes, he said, it was very brief, barely 40 minutes before the president boynton made his way to wins. that yes, we know from down the street that the issue was for us supplying that's cost of items to ukraine on an announcement that was made last friday. they've come up the appointment as the spokesman in the last hour or so saying that so basically the decision seems to have been forced upon the americans due to what the spokesman said was rushed as was the question in the ukraine for the last few days. the portage have been stressing the, the signatories of this convention, which finds the production and use of its costs to meet it, shouldn't. um, but certainly it's

i think downing street asked him to that. peter was saying to say that.t only got presidential that we only got a presidential visit were desperate visit because we were desperate to on the hand, to have it on the other hand, i'm certain that it was i'm all but certain that it was downing that asked the downing street that asked the president because they were trying to keep in trying to keep us in the european say we'd at european union to say we'd be at the back the queue for any the back of the queue for any trade deal. that's very possible. >> but why should why >> but. but why should why should oblige to this should they oblige to this anyway, still anyway, it all it's still a close quarters dissolves into nothing. get we get nothing nothing. we get we get nothing from about michelle's viewers >> what about michelle's viewers comment, though? because it did seem of us let's take seem to most of us let's take your view of more general pessimism of the state of the relationship. think relationship. don't you think that there was plainly something speci

and so it was the first chance for rishi sunak to host president biden in downing street.he talks would have been dominated by the forthcoming nato's summit. ukraine. how much support can the west give to ukraine and tackling some of the tricky issues and divisions between nato's allies towards the conflict in ukraine. and you're quite right. we did hearfrom a spokesman for the prime minister who said that the prime minister and president biden discussed the decision by the us to supply controversial cluster bombs to ukraine. i mean, that is an instance in which the two countries find themselves diverging, perhaps in terms of approach. just explain to us why there are different views when it comes to providing ukraine with cluster bombs between the us and the uk. well, cluster bombs are ammunition which explodes in the air into lots of different bombs, if you like. and those little bombs spread out over quite a wide area on the ground and then explode. now, traditionally, the difficulty with this type of ordnance is that a lot of the little bombs don't explode so—called du

there is a lot to repair, if you like, and the two men will be meeting at both 10 downing street andime since he was correlated at windsor castle. live to the bbc security correspondent, frank gardner. how will this cluster bomb issue translate to talks at the nato summit in lithuania, which are coming up? it summit in lithuania, which are coming up?— summit in lithuania, which are coming up? it is not 'ust britain amonust coming up? it is not 'ust britain amongst the h coming up? it is not 'ust britain amongst the nato _ coming up? it is notjust britain amongst the nato allies - coming up? it is notjust britain amongst the nato allies who i coming up? it is notjust britain i amongst the nato allies who don't agree _ amongst the nato allies who don't agree with the provision of cluster bombs _ agree with the provision of cluster bombs. france, germany, another of other_ bombs. france, germany, another of other countries are signatures to the convention banning the use of these _ the convention banning the use of these so—called apparent weapons. spain _ these so—called apparent weapo

we'll talk to a conservative former minister who wants downing street to compromise.the last few minutes the government has said the g7�*s going to announce, quote, a "significant international framework for ukraine's long—term security arrangements" at the nato summit tomorrow. will president zelensky be satisifed with that for now? we'll talk to his former defence minister. good evening. as we came on air last night we tried to be really clear with everyone watching about the limits to what we actually know as fact in the ongoing crisis that has engulfed the bbc and one of its leading presenters. today, following an intervention from the bbc director—general tim davie and a publication of a timeline of the organisation's interraction with the parents of a person allegedly paid for sexually explicit pictures by the presenter, it's fair to say we have answers to at least some of the big questions. but in their place swept in several new ones — about the pace of the bbc�*s response to the complaint made to it in may. about the conduct of the presenter, who's facing new

we have team coverage, nic robertson and arlette saenz are outside downing street.ette, let's start with you with this meeting with the uk prime minister. what do we expect to come from this? >> reporter: pamela, president biden is meeting at this moment in 10 do you think with british prime minister rishi sunak. the president telling reporters that they have a rock solid relationship, so much of the relationship between biden and sunak hassan turd around the war in ukraine. officials say this will give them an opportunity to discuss the war in ukraine and also further the support that they can offer, but it also comes as president biden recently approved sending controversial cluster munitions to ukraine, a decision that puts him at odds with many allies, including the united kingdom. the concern about these cluster munitions is that they can scatter bomblets over large areas and can pose significant threat to civilians. president biden in an interview with fareed zakaria explained the reasoning for why he decided to send those munitions at this moment. >> it was a

rishi sunak said that downing street would be diplomatic about th because the u.k.de this convention and had to make it clear that u.k. discourage the use of these. the u.s. is not a signatory to that convention and i don't think necessarily the two men fell out about that. but the view from president biden, that this is russia's fault and they are trying to give ukraine the munitions they need. that it was the illegal invasion causing this in the first place. they have both been arguing for creative fence spending from the countries who have not contributed quite so much. they did not skate over it. >> do they see eye to eye on what security concerns for ukraine should look like? >> i think they do and they don't. the starting point is they agree that the ukraine is at war, can't possibly join nato. but also agree that the final destination if you like is the u.k. -- is ukraine inside of nato. the big difference is how swiftly, for example. and what to signal in terms of ukraine swiftly joining afterwards. president biden thinks there are other ways you can give se

downing street has said the government will keep a close watch on the handling of the claims.ations, another day of pressure. notjust for this male presenter but for the bbc itself. today bosses from the corporation are meeting with the police. but we understand no formal allegation has been made yet. fresh claims in the sun newspaper, too. it says the presenter made a panicked phone call to the young person, saying, "what have you done?" and asking them to ring their mother to stop the investigation. the family also say they're upset with the bbc, claiming no—one rang them for a proper interview after that initial complaint. the presenter is now suspended. but, if an allegation was made in may, why did it take so long for that decision to be made? the big question for the bbc, i think, is are your processes fit—for—purpose? when did this question come in? was it escalated fast enough? why was it, when new information came out on thursday, it took until sunday for the bbc to suspend the presenter? to be fair to the bbc, they would say, "look, this is a complex nuanced environm

all these people show up to do this skateboarding down the street, they in effect closed that community down. people, as you say, camp, get into their houses. and when you say fireworks, it's much more fireworks. it's 80's. i mean, they're actually can kill people. those type of things. and then you get into the graffiti and what, 70, $80,000 worth of damage when the police showed up. they were not in their riot gear. so people say, well, look at what they did, they showed up and it's their fault. it's not their fault. we can see him here in this video. the dragon away the barricades. you can see the muni bus, train that right covered in graffiti. >> and and they're racing down the street where people have gotten hurt. in fact, somebody was killed at one of these over the last year. that's what and what's what are the options? just let them do their thing. and then keep the police out of it. most of the people in san francisco want the police there. when i hear people say, well, you know, they didn't have a defense attorney there to give these some of these kids. they're right. yeah. we

in september and downing street , insists discussions staff in september and downing street, insistsle. now this is supposed to account for people who hold political positions in foreign countries where there is a high level of risk of corruption and as i alluded to earlier, things like money laundering and getting dodgy dirty money and trying to hide it, this shouldn't under any circumstance be affecting somebody who is an elected official or politically connected in this country and it's this that i think the banks are using to begin to essentially launch an establishment attack against people whose politics they fund totally disagree with. but i think legally there should be no right in doing this. what then happens is this principle . it's happens is this principle. it's a big problem where someone's been as politically been flagged as a politically exposed person , that the banks exposed person, that the banks will then turn around say, will then turn around and say, we've so much we've got to do so much background into so background research into you, so many checks and crime m

joining russ is cnn's nic robertson joining us from downing street in london.ic, sell us what you to expect from the meeting between president biden and prime minister sunak. prosecute well, i think essentially, rishi sunak can bring stability to the british government after brexit, after boris johnson, after liz truss. so there is the sense that the pair get on well and have a good working relationship. and look, they've met now six times over the past six months. interestingly, though, across all of that time, this will be the first time that president biden steps into 10 downing street as president. the runup to the nato summit where the country as line and don't align, perhaps, on the issue of ukraine's membership of nato, how that should happen, the methodology, the language that should be used in a communique over the next couple of days, but also they're expected to talk about china. these are big joint issues that they face about climate. business joint issues that they face about artificial intelligence and the potential threat therein and the need for

that is something downing street opposes.i think that is one potential point of contention. there is also this question about what signals should be sent to ukraine in the next few weeks. about whether it will become a member of nato. in the trial downing street are set out ahead of this meeting later, they talked about ukraine's rightful place being in the nato alliance. well, president biden gave an interview to us media just before he left for london yesterday. and he said, well, look, we will look at that, but we are not in that place at the moment. so, the relationship between the us and the uk is in a pretty good place, but there is no doubt there is some tension, some differences of opinion. they also exist when it comes to how —— how to subsidise green industries over the next few years. what you will see in the next few hours, later this morning, in spread as —— president biden arriving here in his massive car, the beast. last time he was here there was trouble getting it out. there's not much space. it will be inter
