It is two years since the last summit, you can see the leaders there in france, and theres been quite a few leadership changes since then, including the significant change in the us administrations. President Joe Biden is due to touch down in the uk in the next hour or so, and this it will be his first overseas trip since taking office. He set off today from Force'>Andrews Air Force base in the us. The us media has been talking about one thing to deal with his departure, and it was this moment. See the president there swatting away a cicada, a huge brood of the insects has emerged from the ground across the eastern united states, as they do every 17 years. They are a largely harmless to humans but can be pretty disruptive. In fact, the plane carrying precedent, accompanying the president was delayed due to swarms of the insect. Joe biden has flown to eastern england. We are watching the ground there, he will be meeting with us troops at Milton Hall and theirfamilies, then he will be flying in Force'>Air Force one to newquay. From there and helicopter, Hell Fly to a trick in a castle where the g7 is being held. Preparations going ahead and carve a spay and st ives, we can show you the security services they are prepping For the leaders to arrive. These are both small and seaside towns and popular with Uk Holiday makers. Usejon kay with Uk Holiday makers. Usejon kay with more on the preparations. Cornwall, you know, that laid back corner of the country where nothing much happens. St ives does not have a police station, but there are now 6,000 officers here from across the uk. They look like they are well prepared and were putting our lives in their hands. From tomorrow, there will be less of a Holiday Vibe here. The two hotels where global leaders will discuss things like the pandemic and the environment are sealed off. Cornwall� s airborne predators now have some serious competition. Fishing boats now have company. Oceans told i couldnt go inside a certain area. Oceans told i couldnt go inside a certain area oceans told i couldnt go inside a certain area.

But given us a heads up. Some worry i about covid and protests. But next door to the summit, there is pride that cornwall� s big moment is here. What does that mean For Boris Johnson . Our political Editor Laura Kuenssberg is there in carcass pay. This is a big, serious diplomatic get together after an extraordinary yearFor get together after an extraordinary year For democracies across the world. Its a huge opportunity For borisjohnson who wants to be seen as the host with the most. Any opportunity For him is particularly important in two areas For downing street. One, firstly, the opportunity to show that after the turbulence of the trump years, that the relationship between the united kingdom and the united states is reaffirmed as stronger than ever, and he hopes that even though hell be meeting President Biden in person For the very first time, that the two men will show when they meet tomorrow that they can get business done and the relationship between the two countries is strong and secure. But borisjohnson also wants to show that after these stresses and strains of the pandemic, that the worlds big democracies working together can achieve more than they can do a part. Now, this administration has been looking to distance itself from the previous one. In particular in the area of international diplomacy. As his national Security Adviser Jake Sullivan explained to my colleaguejon sopel. From our perspective, actions will speak a lot louder than words, just giving Reassurances Wont be enough. What will be enough is showing the world that the united states still has what it takes to rally the worlds democracies to solve the great problems of our time. When we show up in cornwall, we will be there to help lead the g7 in ending there to help lead the g7 in ending the pandemic. We will be there with incredible domestic growth to help power a global economic recovery. We will be coming out of a climate Leader Summit that President Biden hosts in handing off the baton to Prime Ministerjohnson For the Glasgow Climate Summit later this year, with the us hoping to galvanise a global response to the coronavirus crisis. Putting all that together, i think will be showing through our deeds that the unit six is capable, right now today, eventually delivering bold and decisive actions to help solve problems that affect people Around The World. Rob watsonjoins me. What do you think we could call realistic objectives . First what do you think we could call realistic objectives . What do you think we could call realistic objectives .

First of all, i must say, good to be with youj realistic objectives . First of all, i must say, good to be with you and im very much looking Forward to drawing the thong in cornwall, ill try not to add to problems facing the local police Force. I think mr Bidens Objective is pretty clear, to try and reassure the united statess western allies that the Trump Administration was some Form of aberration, the united states will not become some sort of nationalist isolationist power. And to convince the European Countries at the eu, the japanese and the canadians that this is a one off. That will not be an easy task because europeans are wondering if there could be another Donald Trump. They look at The State of the Republican Party which still has strong allegiance to the Former president. You will have a lot of persuading to do. Perhaps the way to think of it is if you think of the broader Western Alliance is represented by the g7 as a sort of house that crumbled and collapsed during the time of Donald Trump, that this summit in Cornwall Wont be rebuilding the entire house, it be rebuilding the entire house, it be Mr Biden hopefully digging a few foundations and persuading the other members to get on the Building Site and help them rebuild. In members to get on the Building Site and help them rebuild. And help them rebuild. In terms of rebuilding. And help them rebuild. In terms of rebuilding, both and help them rebuild. In terms of rebuilding, both leaders and help them rebuild. In terms of rebuilding, both leaders have and help them rebuild. In terms of i rebuilding, both leaders have talked about Post Pandemic building back and growth. Here in the uk, everyones wondering when lockdown will finally be absently over. So theres a lot of pressure on both of them . ,. , them . Yes, in particular there is ressure them . Yes, in particular there is pressure on them . Yes, in particular there is pressure on the them . Yes, in particular there is pressure on the united them . Yes, in particular there is pressure on the united states i them . Yes, in particular there is. Pressure on the united states and the uk bilaterally to agree on a time For opening up, because of course, Travel And Trade between the us and the uk is hugely important to both sides, its particularly important to a Post Brexit Britain For borisjohnson to get travel moving again. What the White House has said is that this will be determined by science which strangely enough, or strangely not enough, is the sort of lines used by downing street. They understand how impatient everybody is to lift the lockdowns and given the success of the vaccine programmes in both countries. But they both say it will be determined by the science. The uk is not only hosting be determined by the science. The uk is not only hosting the be determined by the science. The uk is not only hosting the g7, be determined by the science. The uk is not only hosting the g7, but be determined by the science. The uk is not only hosting the g7, but it is not only hosting the g7, but it will be hosting the really important summit on climate later in the year, so Something Else borisjohnson as its already talking up. Yes. So Something Else Boris Johnson as its already talking up. Its already talking up. Yes, he is. And i its already talking up. Yes, he is. And i think its already talking up. Yes, he is. And | think thats its already talking up. Yes, he is. And i think Thats Something its already talking up. Yes, he is. And i think Thats Something that l its already talking up. Yes, he is. L and i think Thats Something that he shares with President Biden. And if you want to think about this g7, its not about delivering finished solutions. Its the World Leaders looking at whether they can agree on a coordinated position on Climate Change For the summer later this year is met can they really agree on putting flash on those words of building back better . Can they agree on coordinated positions on Russia And China which all of the various members of the g7 see as a threat, but in somewhat different ways. So if you like, this is the chance For leaders of Western Democracy to see themselves in Person And Figure out if there is something more concrete they can do than just slogans. Theres plenty they all agree on, theyd all like to build back better and tackle Climate Change, they want to defeat covid. But at The End of these three days, will be the there be something concrete they can point to . You there be something concrete they can oint to . ,. ,. , point to . You will be able to tell us, rob.

L after the g7 meeting, President Biden will go onto Meet President Putin as well as the members of nato. Top of that agenda will be cyber security. This is in the wake of a number of serious Ransomware Attacks in the us. Heres Jake Sullivan again. Especially as it relates to Ransomware Attacks on critical infrastructure. When ransomware infrastructure. When Ra Nsomwa re causes infrastructure. When ransomware causes the shutdown of a pipeline or causes the shutdown of a pipeline or causes major disruption to food supplies, or because of some disruption to an Electricity Grid Thatis disruption to an Electricity Grid that is a national security issue. And President Biden intends to consult closely with partners of the g7, with allies in nato at how we can have a collective response of this. And he intends to say to Vladimir Putin privately what weve said publicly which is that we dont believe the russian government is behind these Ransomware Attacks, but the russian government Shares Responsibility to deal with the criminals on their soil who are conducting them and to prevent them from conducting further attacks. You can read more from conducting further attacks. You can read more on what Jake Sullivan can read more on whatJake Sullivan told the bbc in the interview online, will also be looking at what he said about another subject, sharing vaccines with the world, later in the programme. Now lets turn to brexit the eu has doubled down on its threat to take action against the uk after talks about Post Brexit Trading arrangements in northern Ireland Brokedown today. The uks chief negotiator, lord david frost, says he wants to keep talking the Eus Negotiator says his patience is wearing thin. There werent any breakthroughs. There werent any breakthroughs. There arent any breakdowns, either, and we will carry on talking. But we all need to do now is, very urgently, find some solutions which support the belfast good Friday Agreement, support the Peace Process and allow things to return to normal. ,. ,. , normal. Today, i can say that we are at a crossroads normal. Today, i can say that we are at a Crossroads In normal. Today, i can say that we are at a Crossroads In our normal. Today, i can say that we are at a Crossroads In our relationship i at a Crossroads In our relationship with the at a Crossroads In our relationship with the uk. Trust, which should be at the with the uk. Trust, which should be at the heart with the uk. Trust, which should be at the heart of every partnership, needs at the heart of every partnership, needs to at the heart of every partnership, needs to be restored. The uk must abide needs to be restored. The uk must abide by needs to be restored. The uk must abide by its needs to be restored. The uk must abide by its legal obligations and perForm abide by its legal obligations and perForm these controls. UnFortunately, there are still numerous and fundamental gaps in the uks implementation of our agreement. So whats the issue . Well, For the uk its to do with the way the northern Ireland Protocol works. In order to ensure that there wasnt a hard border on the island of ireland the protocol left Northern Ireland still following many eu rules while the rest of the united Kingdom England wales and scotland do not. That means that when certain Goods Cross from great britain to Northern Ireland, the eu requires checks to ensure they meet eus standards. Effectively creating a border in the Irish Sea. Something that infuriated unionists and is already causing issues on exports and imports. One example of that issue is chilled meat. Heres our Reality Check Correspondent Chris Morris on why. Theres been a Grace Period For what would be a ban on chilled meats. This is the Sausage Row thats been in a lot of papers, being moved from great britain and the dutch in Northern Ireland For. 17 great britain and the dutch in Northern Ireland For. .

And the way the Brexit Deal has been organised, again, market. And the way the Brexit Deal has been organised, again, this has been organised, again, this government signed up For this, is that Northern Ireland basically follows, when it comes to goods, eu rules. So if The End of this Month And Nothing has changed, the uk must decide, do we unilaterally say we will abide by this, then legal challenges get worse . Or is some sort of compromise found . So while the uk is asking For the eu to be more flexible, the eu is telling the uk to stick to the deal that the Uk Parties actually signed. A deal that when it was signed at The End of 2020 was publically celebrated by the uk government. Heres Cabinet Minister Michael gove. Businesses in Northern Ireland have the opportunity to enjoy the best of both worlds. Access to the single market, at the same time, unfettered access to the rest of the uk market. Injust over six months, that opinion has clearly changed in the government. In this Opinion Piece in the financial times on sunday, Lord Frost now seems to be saying that the uk didnt properly understand the consequences of the protocol. He writes. His claims have been rejected by those within the eu. Irelands Foreign minister Simon Coveney tweeted. The claims have also been rejected from those Who Sat in negotiations. Heres Theresa Mays Cheif of Staff Gavin Barwell who was part of Brexit Negotiaitons up until 2019 speaking to Bbc Radio 4s today programme. And, of course, theres another big player in this very high stakes game the united states. As we were reporting earlier in the programme, us President Joe Biden is due to land on his visit to the uk within the next hour and this is a politician who is hugely proud of his irish roots and has made it very clear since being elected that the health of the good Friday Peace agreement is paramount. Its likely to be a key topic of discussion between the two leaders on the sidelines of the summit. President bidens national Security AdviserJake Sullivan commented on it during his exclusive interview with the bbc. The northern Ireland Protocol is part of the agreement between the uk and the European Union. It is critical to ensuring that the spirit promised and future of the good Friday Agreement is protected. That said, the uk and that you need to work out the specifics and modality on that, they need to find some way to proceed that works both For the eu and the uk. But whatever way they find a proceed, it must at its core fundamentally protect the gains of the good Friday Agreement and not imperil that. Im joined now by our political correspondent hellen catt.

Because of the sensitivities on ireland, all sides decided they didnt want a halt. A hard border between the two, they didnt want checks and a Border Post happening there. The solution they came up with was that goods would need to be checked as they went from great britain, across the Irish Sea into Northern Ireland. And part of the problem here is that so far, there was a Grace Period of six months where some of these things didnt apply, the uk has been holding back on putting full checks on things like goods going into irish supermarkets and all parcels, which is particularly problematic. Then theres the other issue around the movement of chilled meets from great britain into Northern Ireland that, because the eu doesnt allow the import of chilled meets from a non eu country, when this Grace Period expires in three weeks time, what thatll also do is it an effective ban those moving from Northern Ireland into great britain. So these are the issues behind this, and of course, theres all the political sensitivities that go around that. This is why it has proved so difficult to come up with a solution. ~ ,. ,. , proved so difficult to come up with a solution. ~. ,. , a solution. When you talk about olitical a solution.

Thats what everyone is trying to avoid here and what is at the bottom of all this. , here and what is at the bottom of all this. ,. We have live pictures from raf Milton Hall, the base in suffolk in eastern england, Force'>Air Force one has just landed. Just as scheduled, Force'>Air Force one has touched down in the uk, Joe Biden is on board. His first Foreign trip since entering the White House this january, and its also reminding me of the covering of Donald Trump in the uk four years ago. I think i was broadcasting from the bbc� s Buckingham Palace, and as Donald Trump landed, he was furiously tweeting and insulting the mayor of london. In true trump style. Joe biden is trying to show hes different in many different ways. You will have to call on all his Double Medic Skills though, because when he arrives in cornwall, weve been hearing about all the different issues at play here, havent we . He will be talking about g7 priorities, Climate Change, talking about coming out of the pandemic, how economies build back, about how inequalities, inequities and financial systems, Sony People having suffered through the pandemic he will want to talk to his allies, youll want to talk to Boris Johnson about issues, about Northern Ireland. Hes also in touch with the Irish Republic and with eu members about the Way Brexit is proceeding in practice. So theres quite a lot on his plate, quite a lot to deal with, and of course we will be hanging on every word as we see the official Press Conferences and find outjust official Press Conferences and find out just what theyve been talking about. So we will watch what happens asjoe about. So we will watch what happens as Joe Biden about. So we will watch what happens asJoe Biden is here in eastern england, and hell be taking off her cornwall in the next hour or so. El salvador has adopted bitcoin as legal tender becoming the first country to make it an official national currency. The president tweeted after Tuesday Nights vote. Heres that historic moment. Congressional approval means the cryptocurrency will become legal tender, alongside the us dollar, in 90 days. Every business must accept bitcoin as legal tender For goods or services, unless it is unable to provide the technology needed to do the transaction. To the president s mind, it will make it easier For Salvadorans Living abroad to send money home. We as humanity can do almost anything we can think of. Our ingenuity, what separates us from other species. We are trying to rescue this idea and start to design the culture For the future.

Do stay with us on bbc news. Good evening. It was very warm where we saw sunshine persist, temperatures into the mid 20s, wills further west it wasnt sunny. In fact, it was quite grey and damp around some of the Irish Sea coasts. The North Sea Coast maintained sunshine For longer. The reason we got all that cloud in the west is because the Azores High is just drifting a little bit further southwards, allowing these weakening Weather Fronts to come in. But theyll pick up with time. A lot of clout around through this evening, even the sharp shower in the west, and as that cloud eases overnight itll prevent those temperatures from falling, so a warmer Night And Muqqy from falling, so a warmer Night And Muggy night, as well, really notable where we have those Clear Skies first thing this morning. It also means there be more clout around, grey and misty conditions first thing. Tomorrow our low pressures close in, isobars are more tightly packed with more breeze around and more clout. So its the partial social democratic clips which starts in the morning, but please dont look directly into the sun. Obviously we will have a bit of clout around with proximity to the north of the west. Even further South And East where we had more sunshine, there will be more cloud around. It takes time For the sunshine to work through, but it is strong and will come through in the afternoon. Certainly a bit more breeze to contend with in northern and western areas, perhaps some heavier rain later. But its still warm, perhaps warmer than it spent today in the North And East of scotland, and parts of Northern Ireland, eastern england, those areas favoured to see higher temperatures. Through friday, that Weather Front and isobars are with us, but we change to a fresher weather and cloudier rather pushing south. But again, its very tenuous, sunshine is coming through and it will be strong, even though itll feel a bit fresher towards the north. So we will freshen up towards The End of the weekjust a little bit, but by the weekend that high pressure, the Azores High will reestablish itself across the united kingdom, and thatll allow more sunshine to come through. And again, as a result, temperatures will start to rise once again to become pretty hot potentially by The End of the weekend. That means temperatures pushing towards 30 celsius, particularly in southern and eastern areas. More as ever is on the website. Its much hello, im philippa thomas, this is outside source. Its much in an hours time the us president will land in the uk For his first overseas trip since taking office President Biden is heading to the G7 Summit in cornwall with one key message, america is back trying to re establish global leadership the president will head i think we will be showing through our deeds that the united states is capable right now, today, that actually dealing with board and decisive action to solve problems that affect people everywhere Around The World. With Northern Ireland. The eu says its patience is wearing very thin with the uk in talks aimed at avoiding a Trade War over border checks with Northern Ireland. We will not be shy and acted swiftly, firmly and resolutely that the Uk Advice by the International Law Obligations. And leaked documents allege americas most famous billionaires, including amazonsjeff bezos and teslas elon musk, pay far less tax than ordinary workers. High on the g7� s agenda is what has become known as vaccine diplomacy. Members of the group of seven have some of the highest vaccinated populations in the world. 51 of the population in the us have received at least one dose. The united kingdom has vaccinated 59 of its Population And Germany has vaccinated 45 . Now, its important to remember that these countries do have significant Vaccine Development or production capabilities. They have also ordered too many doses For their populations. And there are now calls on them to share their vaccines. There have also been strong criticisms that they lag behind China And Russia in terms of sharing those vaccines. Heres Jake Sullivan again. When its all said and done, it will be the united states in the Western Democracy that did the Lions Share of the work from the developed world in terms of helping to end this pandemic globally and let me give you three reasons why. At The End of this month alone, the united states will have shared more vaccines by orders of magnitude than either China Or Russia but by The End of june, we arejust China Or Russia but by The End of june, we are just getting started. Secondly, we are not seeking to extract concessions or demand favours or coerce or intimidate other countries in order to get our vaccines. We are not asking anything. We are giving them because it is the right thing to do and third and finally, i believe the g7 is going to come together in cornwall a Plan Notjust to make sure that we can vaccinate the world but we can build strong resilient Health Systems to ensure that we are ready For the next pandemic. We heard earlierfrom the american national Security Adviser. He told the bbc that america would be at the Forefront of vaccine diplomacy. So lets Have A Look at who has shared the most vaccines. Well the us has pledged 80-million'>80 Million vaccines Around The World. And the eu has promised over 1. 5 billion doses to be made available by the vaccine producers. But there has been criticism of both of Vaccine Hoarding and vaccinating their own populations first. Heres the Director General of the world health organization. At the assembly, i called For a massive global efFort to vaccinate at least 10 of the population of all countries by september and that leaves 70 persons by The End of the year. To reach this target, we need an additional 250 Million doses by september and we need 100 Million Dosesjust Injune and september and we need 100 Million doses just injune and july. This weekend, the leaders of the g7 countries will meet For the annual summit. The seven nations have the power to meet these targets and calling on the g7 to sharing those, but to commit to sharing them in june and july. And, Argubly China has been at the Forefront of sharing vaccines Around The World. Its a policy that President Xi is calling the health silk road. A Spin Off from the chinese infrastructure investment project. They have pledged millions of vaccines Around The World. Theyre providing free vaccines to 69 countries and commercially exporting them to 28 more. They have been exported Around The World, often to countries with low vaccination rates, here they are being used in sri lanka. And its worth mentioning that less of the chinese population are vaccinated than the us. And they shared their vaccines earlier than the us had. Theres also a huge amount of the eu has, however, already promised 500 Euros million in Grant Funding and guarantees to the covax facility. The us has donated 2 Billion to covax in recent months. This likely shortfall might explain why china has donated vaccines to at least 2a countries but delivered to each only a minuscule number of doses compared with their populations, typically in the range of 20,000 to 300,000. They have twisted arms and demanded concessions in order to give the vaccine, the united states is not done so and when it comes down to it, as we have managed to vaccinate the majority of our population, we now have the wherewithal to begin to distribute high quality vaccines, not For any geopolitical favour. We are doing so and theyre heading out the door now we are rapidly passing both China And Russia in terms of the provision of her vaccines to others. So is that a fair assessment . The us is not alone in its doubts over its criticism over its perceived Vaccine Roll out. The president of the European Council said Yanzhong Huang is from the council on Foreign relations. How true is that claim by Jake Sullivan . We look at chinas vaccine diplomacy. We have to make a distinction between the amount of vaccines sold via commercial channels in the vaccines that were donated to other countries. As far as the donations are concerned, i think the us government has referred to the total donated vaccines amounted to 22 Million doses and thatis amounted to 22 Million doses and that is less than 10 of the total Amount And Quantity of vaccines that are shipped overseas and in that sense, the number itself is indeed not very large, it is less than 10 of the total vaccine shipped overseas but it still makes china the largest Vaccine Exporter as far as what is already been donated and the other larger donors. The other larger donors. Putting it in context is the other larger donors. Putting it in context is important the other larger donors. Putting it in context is important with the other larger donors. Putting it in context is important with the i in context is important with the bigger numbers but is it fair to say that the west is sometimes reluctant to credit china with generosity where it exists is yellow it can be used to chain of being generous and especially when we are dealing with a global challenge that is a global challenge that 3 everybodys business. We should everybody� s business. We should encourage china to be as generous as possible and in the meantime, certainly we should also be careful that we are not that generous, especially now since we are still having to prioritise our own domestic vaccination efForts.

Five days after the most populous country in africa banned twitter, nothing has changed, as many privately owned Media Outlets continue to defy the order by using private networks. This is what you see when you try and access the social Media Site from within nigeria. It all started last wednesday, when The Social Network deleted a post by president Muhammadu Buhari For allegedly violating its rules on abuse. The presidency denied the subsequent ban was an act of retaliation. On monday, the countrys Foreign minister met with Foreign diplomats to discuss the governments decision. We are not saying that twitter is threatening the country or any such thing like that. We have taken this measure to see to what extent we can re balance this media as Forces of good and stop them being used as platForms For destabilisation. But many sites have continued to defy the ban, such as news outlet punch, For example, who tweeted this just a few hours ago ban insecurity, not twitter is their message.

As journalists, that is because they need to twitter. Asjournalists, twitter is so baked into the way we work, a lot of these websites will publish a story on mine and then use twitter to drive traffic to the website and so they cant afFord to not use the platForm, they continue to use them as as several other nigerians of high following.

I was iwasa i was a bit distracted because i could see the cameras watching this spot.

A Buckingham Palace source has told the bbc that the queen was never asked For permission by Prince Harry and meghan to name their daughter lilibet, which was the queens childhood nickname. Earlier today, the Law Firm schillings which acts For the couple has written to some News Organisations saying that claim is false and defamatory. Our royal Correspondentjonny Dymond says that two different versions of events had emerged. Maybe its an issue of interpretation, but lets rakitic Sunday Night we get an announcement from Harry And Meghan about the naming of their second child, their daughter will be a little Bit Diana Mountbatten windsor. Lilibet is the queens childhood nickname, given to her by her grandfather, george v, used by her closeness and relatives. The name she used on the Funeral Wreath For her dearest friend, earl mountbatten. So it means a lot, lilibet. Over the next couple days, stories start to come out from various different sources citing generally friends of Prince Harry that the queen had given permission For little bit to be used. And as you mentioned, a Palace Source told the bbc that she was never asked lilibet. Within hours there was response from harry and megans spokesperson, saying harry had spoken to his grandmother, the queen, as the first person to tell about the baby beFore the announcement was made. That he had shared their hope of naming their daughter lilibet, and that had she not been supportive, then she would they would not have used the name. So two pretty contradictory accounts there of what happened stop the Palace Source at least a very keen to set the record straight as they saw it, and equally Harry And Meghan very firm that they thought that they had gone through all the proprietary is involved. A momentous occasion, President Joe Biden hasjust arrived in a momentous occasion, President Joe Biden has just arrived in the a momentous occasion, President Joe Biden hasjust arrived in the uk on his first Foreign visit since becoming us president. He became president injanuary and this is his first Foray abroad. Him in the first lady disembarking and they will later go on to cornwall which is where the g7 leaders will be gathering and so much to talk about, including Post Pandemic recovery and the urgent flight against Climate Change. Now, he will be going inside and he will be in this, you can see that there is a big welcome here at Milton Hall and he will be addressing Force'>Air Force men and their families and his first remarks beFore he goes to cornwall. This would be the first time that we hear what he has to say about his themes, his key themes. This is been looking to distance itself from the previous one in the area of international diplomacy. We all remember Donald Trumps four years in office where many key allies in the eu and in nato felt that he had rather turn his back on them and was going it alone and then taking washington in the united states with them. The message from Joe Biden and from his national Security Adviser speaking to the Bbc Today has very much ben, america is back and america wants to reassert leadership in the field of global diplomacy and he has a lot of challenges ahead of him. Not least the ones to deal with Climate Change and rebuilding it with issues of equity, economic fairness as so many people have been hit so hard by the pandemic and will be giving you all of the developments and theres a lot more on the Bbc Website as well. Thank you For being with us here on bbc news. Good evening. It was very warm where we saw sunshine persist, temperatures into the mid 20s, whilst further west it wasnt sunny. In fact, it was quite grey and damp around some of the Irish Sea coasts. The North Sea Coast maintained sunshine For longer. The reason we got all that cloud in the west is because the Azores High isjust drifting a little bit further southwards, allowing these weakening Weather Fronts to come in. But theyll pick up with time. A lot of cloud around through this evening, even the sharp shower in the west, and as that cloud eases overnight itll prevent those temperatures from falling, so a warmer and muggy night, as well, really notable where we have those Clear Skies first thing this morning. It also means there be more cloud around, grey and misty conditions first thing. Tomorrow our low pressures close in, isobars are more tightly packed with more breeze around and more cloud. So its the partial social democratic clips which starts so its the partial Solar Eclipse which starts in the morning, but please dont look directly into the sun. Obviously we will have a bit of clout around with proximity to the north of the west. Even further South And East where we had more sunshine, there will be more cloud around. It takes time For the sunshine to work through, but it is strong and will come through in the afternoon. Certainly a bit more breeze to contend with in northern and western areas, perhaps some heavier rain later. But its still warm, perhaps warmer than it spent today in the North And East of scotland, and parts of Northern Ireland, eastern england, those areas favoured to see higher temperatures. Through friday, that weatherfront and isobars are with us, but we change to a fresher weather and cloudier weather pushing south. But again, its very tenuous, sunshine is coming through and it will be strong, even though itll feel a bit fresher towards the north. So we will freshen up towards The End of the weekjust a little bit, but by the weekend that high pressure, the Azores High will reestablish itself across the united kingdom, and thatll allow more sunshine to come through. And again, as a result, temperatures will start to rise once again to become pretty hot potentially by The End of the weekend. That means temperatures pushing towards 30 celsius, particularly in southern and eastern areas. More, as ever, is on the website. This is bbc news.
