Now a warning from Harry And Meghan� s lawyers. And, grab the popcorn, smell the coffee and settle in. New york is hosting the Tribeca Film festival, with a Blockbuster Rollout of the much anticipated musical in The Heights. Welcome to the programme. President biden has arrived in the uk for the G7 Summit. He began his first overseas trip with a rallying cry for the worlds democracies, insisting the united states was back after the trump years. Within the last hour, Air Force one arrived in cornwall where the summit is taking place. He will meet the Prime Minister, borisjohnson at Carbis Bay on thursday, before the summit begins on friday. Our North America Editorjon sopel has this report on the start of the us president s visit. For the first time since becoming president injanuary, Joe Biden stepped out from Air Force one on to foreign soil. The soil of Suffolk And Raf mildenhall on a perfect summers evening. The president wants this first foreign trip that will take him to cornwall, brussels and geneva to be seen as a decisive break from the trump years, america no longer isolationist. Points he drove home to us servicemen and women at the base once hed told them to relax. Please, at ease. I keep forgetting im president. America is back on a role of global leadership, he told them. At every point along the way, we are going to make it clear that the united states is back and democracies of the world are standing together to tackle the toughest challenges and the issues that matter most to our future. That we are committed to leading with strength, defending our values and delivering for our people. Whether it be covid, the global economy or Climate Change, Joe Biden wants to see america at the forefront and he looked ahead to the trickiest of his encounters on this trip. His meeting in geneva with the russian president. Im heading to the g7 and then the Nato Ministerial and then to meet with Mr Putin to let him know what i want him to know. Applause one domestic issue whereJoe Biden can be expected to weigh in is on Northern Ireland, where the us is watching with some unease british attempts to amend or renegotiate the northern Ireland Protocol that puts a De Facto Border For Trade between Mainland Britain and the province. The us says the achievements of the 1998 good Friday Agreement have played such a decisive role in bringing peace to Northern Ireland and must not be put in jeopardy. Whatever way they find to proceed must at its core fundamentally protect the gains of the good Friday Agreement and not imperil that and that is the message President Biden will send when he is in cornwall. And if he had any indication it would imperil the good Friday Agreement, would thatjeopardise a Future Us Uk Trade deal . I dont want to sit here today and negotiate in public around linkage or make some claim or threat. I would just say our concern runs very deep on the Northern Ireland issue. The g7 leaders will be relieved to see a more familiar style of american president less isolationist, more supportive of international bodies. Less capricious. But there is also concern about how reliable a partner the us will be in the long term, how much longer the us can be seen as the pre eminent superpower. Joe biden has his work cut out. Jon sopel, bbc news. So not long to go until the big Face To face meetings begin, with a number of issues from global health to tax, all falling under the umbrella of promoting democracy and human rights. But how well do their words travel beyond the summit� s shores . Do these politicians actually keep their promises . Well it seems that, on the whole, they do the G7 Research Group has crunched the numbers. And look at that looking back at all summits since they began back in 1975, the average compliance by g7 countries averages out at about 76 , over the entire Years Summit by hosted by Donald Trump in march had an amazing 94 compliance. So it seems countries are getting better at keeping their promises. Professorjohn kirton is director of the G7 Research Group at the University Of Toronto and he joins us from toronto now. Thank you forjoining us. Good thank you for oining us. Good to be with thank you forjoining us. Good to be with you. Thank you forjoining us. Good to be with you. So, thank you forjoining us. Good to be with you. So, you thank you forjoining us. Good to be with you. So, you are i to be with you. So, you are measuring to be with you. So, you are measuring these to be with you. So, you are measuring these commitments, they are Face To face meetings and really people activate politician� word for it, there is no legally binding commitment but looking at your data, canada can be trusted more than say, italy . I think canada, more than say, italy . I think canada, along more than say, italy . I think canada, along with more than say, italy . I think canada, along with the more than say, italy . I think. Canada, along with the united kingdom is extraordinary historical experience through restricted membership summits of this kind, dating back to the Commonwealth Heads Of Government meetings and i948, government meetings and 1948, even the imperial Walkout Will of 1917, so we both know that to succeed as a global power on which we depend, the rest of the world, with got not only to be at the central council to make our contribution if we are going to be invited back, and listen to and have others follow along while we are there. ,. ,. ,. ,. ,~ there. There is a lot at stake this year there. There is a lot at stake this year. We there. There is a lot at stake this year. We mentioned there. There is a lot at stake this year. We mentioned the i this year. We mentioned the Health And Tax commitments. You also have borisjohnson and Joe Biden, not political soulmates naturally so they may be making commitments through gritted teeth. Do you think we might see more of them resend on their commitments this year . I dont think so. What we do know don� t think so. What we do know is that since the start, g7 members have complied with their Health Commitments and their Health Commitments and the Climate Change commitments, the Climate Change commitments, the development commitment, 75 , that is a very solid start and of course with the ones on covidi9, and of course with the ones on covid i9, from last year and Donald Trump� s summit issue, they are up to 94 , so the Commonwealth Summit really has strong winds and its sales from the back, and i think Boris Johnson has sensed that, and Thatis Johnson has sensed that, and that is why he boldly said publicly the other day, i� m going to get my Fellow G7 leaders to vaccinate everyone in the world everywhere by The End of next year. But in the world everywhere by The End of next year. End of next year. But is it difficult end of next year. But is it difficult to end of next year. But is it difficult to keep end of next year. But is it difficult to keep Track End of next year. But is it difficult to keep track of l difficult to keep track of which of these commitments matters the most when you� ve got a0 made in 1975 and 5000 503 made last year . Got 40 made in 1975 and 5000 503 made last year . Got 40 made in 1975 and 5000 503 made last year . What we do is, Ou 503 made last year . What we do is, you mentioned 503 made last year . What we do is, you mentioned the 503 made last year . What we do is, you mentioned the 5000, 503 made last year . What we do is, you mentioned the 5000, we| is, you mentioned the 5000, we have assessed about 500, we picked the priority commitment, depending on which ones represent the Heart And Soul of the summit, what it most wants to do, and borisjohnson has clearly said it� s about vaccinating everyone, so i� m sure he will make a lot of acro three commitments, vaccination, and we will be monitoring a whole lot of that, but he� s got not only on Climate Change to get off to a fast start at cornwall, because he� s got to give a big boost to his much bigger summit on Climate Change at glasgow where the un will all be there in november. So i think it is going to pull cornwall into a success as well as being pushed from the momentum thatJoe Biden and the other leaders will bring. Ieeri; other leaders will bring. Very tricky one other leaders will bring. Very tricky one to other leaders will bring. Very tricky one to end other leaders will bring. Very tricky one to end on. Other leaders will bring. Very tricky one to end on. When i other leaders will bring. Very tricky one to end on. When we talk about open democracy and human rights, the function of the g7, what are the commitments most likely to be kept on china� s role on Hong Kong and russia� s Rollover Belarus . Kong and russias Rollover Belarus . Kong and russias Rollover Belarus . ,. ,. , belarus . What we do know is that the highest belarus . What we do know is that the highest compliance i that the highest compliance comes with the G7 Commitment on political security. That includes of course nuclear non proliferation. It includes regional security, think ukraine for example. And since the G7 Summit was founded with a very clear, distinct mission, to protect with its own countries, think election interference, to promote globally the values of open democracy and human rights, very much, i think, they will be true to their word and the commitment they made. Hong kong, the Uighur Muslims and so much else, we will see strong commitments and strong compliance as well. We look forward to compliance as well. We look forward to seeing compliance as well. We look forward to seeing if compliance as well. We look forward to seeing if they compliance as well. We look forward to seeing if they do | forward to seeing if they do keep their promises this year. Thank you so much forjoining us. The eu has doubled down on its threat to take action against the uk, after talks about the implementation of Post Brexit Trading arrangements in Northern Ireland ended without a breakthrough. But, as they also put it, no break up either. At the heart of the row is the brexit deal� s northern Ireland Protocol, which allows for Border Checks on goods going into Northern Ireland from great britain. But as he arrived in cornwall ahead of the g7 conference, prime Minister Borisjohnson said a resolution to the row was easily doable our political Editor Laura Kuennsberg reports from cornwall. Is this just the beginning . The beginning of what . The start of what could be a momentous week for this Prime Minister. To crank out deals with other democracies on climate, on covid and cooperation. As World Leaders make their way to cornwall, he wants to be the host with the most. It� s a big moment. Don� t forget, this is the first time in six months in office almost thatJoe Biden, the us president , has been able to come overseas for a major trip. It� s his first time on the european continent, it� s the first time any of us really have been able to see each other Face To face since the pandemic began. You know, the pandemic, let� s face it, was a pretty scratchy period. So a tiny Cornish Bay is being transformed into a stage for the world. Yet some of the nuts and bolts of the uk� s friendship with its neighbours are already banged out of shape. While the Prime Minister was making his way to the south west, in westminster, this diplomatic spat with the eu was reaching new levels of danger. The eu will not be shy in reacting swiftly, firmly and resolutely to ensure that the Uk Abides by its international law obligations. I was coming here with hope for a breakthrough. Of course, now, we have to consider our future steps. It� s not too late, let� s correct the path, let� s focus on what unites us. That tension is bound to be a topic of conversation here. This huge get together is the first since the uk left the eu and there� s a heightened sense of hostility over how the brexit deal� s affecting Northern Ireland, just at the moment when borisjohnson wants to be showing why friendship matters. Remember, under the deal, Northern Ireland has to follow some eu rules. So some goods are meant to be checked when they move from one coast to another. That created a Trade Border of sorts inside the united kingdom, but it avoided the need for a hard border between Northern Ireland and ireland. Now time has passed, the uk is frustrated, it wants the eu to be flexible about the deal but the eu� s perplexed, they think the uk is not willing to do what it agreed. And the time allocated to business to get used to some of the change is about to run out and there is a stand off, because neither side appears willing to budge. So the problem we� ve got is that the protocol is being implemented in a way which is causing disruption in Northern Ireland. And we had some pretty frank and honest discussions about that situation today. There weren� t any breakthroughs, there aren� t any breakdowns either and we are going to carry on talking. What we really now need to do is very urgently find some solutions which support the belfast good Friday Agreement, support that the Peace Process in Northern Ireland and allow things to return to normal. Once the final preparations are complete, there is a big chance for the Prime Minister and for his colleagues Around The World to show they can pull together. But unscripted moments, unplanned for spats could always spoil the show. Let� s get some of the day� S Other news. Dozens of iraqis in baghdad have been giving Blood Samples in the hope of identifying relatives of an islamic State Massacre at a jail in 201a. The murder of around 600, mainly shia, detainees at Badush Prison was one of the jihadi groups biggest attacks.

But the White House said Mr Biden has instructed the Commerce Department to conduct a Security Review of the chinese owned apps. A separate investigation by the us Security Services is also continuing. Stay with us on bbc news, still to come heading back to the movies. New york plays host to the Tribeca Film festival, and the premier of the much anticipated in The Heights. The day the british liberated the falklands. And by tonight, british troops had begun the task of disarming the enemy. In the heart of the West German capital, this was gorby mania at its height. The crowd packed to see the man who, for them, has raised great hopes for an end to the division of europe. It happened as the queen moved towards horse Guards Parade for the start of trooping the colour. Gunshots the queen looks worried but recovers quickly. As long as theyll pay to go and see me, ill get out there and kick em down the hills. What does it feel like to be the first man to cross the channel by your own power . It feels pretty neat. It feel marvellous, really. This is bbc news, the latest headlines on his first foreign trip as president , Joe Biden touches down in the uk. On the eve of the G7 Summit he promises a multilateral America And Support for global democracies. 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. Sofia sapega, the girlfriend of Opposition Activist Roman protasevich, has told her family, she� s not giving in and is holding up in prison, in Herfirst Direct Communication since being arrested in belarus. The couple were arrested when their Ryanair Flight was forcibly diverted to minsk, sparking international condemnation. News of how she is coping, came in three letters to herfamily she� d written injail. Here� s our correspondent in moscow, sarah rainsford. Sofia� s mother shared these letters with me late last night. They were the very first direct communication she� s had with sofia since she was arrested on the 23rd Of May with her boyfriend when they were forcibly removed after their plane was forcibly diverted as we just mentioned. The tone of the letters appear to be one attempting to reassure her family that she was ok but there were obvious moments of distress in there. Sofia talked about how much she was tormented by the thought of missing out on life, how she was supposed to defend her dissertation this week, and talked about how she had planned to drink champagne with roman and to celebrate that with her boyfriend with a special dinner but instead she said she had tea and a biscuit alone in her kgb prison cell. 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 queen� s 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 it� s an issue of interpretation. But let� S Rack back a bit. Sunday night, we get an announcement from Harry And Meghan about the naming of their second child, their daughter, who will be lilibet diana mountbatten windsor. Lilibet, as you say, is the queen� s Childhood Nickname given to her by her grandfather and used by her closest relatives. The name she used on the Funeral Wreath of her dearest friend, one of her dearest friends, earl mountbatten. It means a lot, lilibet. Over the next couple of days, stories start to come out from various different sources citing generally friends of Prince Harry that the queen has given permission for lilibet to be used, and then, as you mention, a Palace Source told the bbc that she was never asked. Within hours, there was a response from Harry And Meghan� s spokesperson, who said that 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 they would not have used the name. So, two pretty contradictory accounts of what happened. The palace, a Palace Source at least, very keen to set the record straight as they saw it, and equally, Harry And Meghan are very firm that they thought that they had gone through all of the proprieties involved. France has taken more steps to ease its lockdown, with cafes and restaurants now able to open inside as well as outdoors. The start of the night time curfew has been pushed back to 11 from nine o� clock. Hugh schofield reports. Is it just the is itjust the good weather or are peruvians actually smiling about some thing . Suddenly it seems possible that life might indeed be heading in the direction of normal. First, the terraces opened and now because covid cases keep falling into the interiors of cafe � s and restaurants. That plus the fact that they can all now stay open later, 11 instead of nine, it� s a bit of familiarity that has just come back. Translation who cares of the coffee is good or bad, and long as we are inside a cafe. It doesn� T Taste the same at home.

Many people are still worried that this could turn out to be a temporary reprieve and like last year there will be another wave of covid but then they remember the vaccination and the vaccinations really are kicking in now, daring to hope that maybe this time things really are on the mend. Gyms and Swimming Pools were also able to reopen for the first time in months and there is good news on the tourist front. If they have been vaccinated, travellers from inside the eu can come freely.

It� s a big moment in New York� s comeback from covid, as the Tribeca Film festival gets underway. Actor Robert Deniro co founded the festival after the 9 11 attacks, and it begins wednesday with the World Premiere of in The Heights, a movie musical set in the dominican community of manhattan. The message to the world is that New York city is back in business, celebrating the diversity of its culture. Tom brook reports. The washington Heights Neighbourhood in New York is abuzz with excitement over the arrival of in The Heights. Maybe this neighbourhood is changing forever. This exuberant movie musicals set in the dominican community with elaborate Dance Numbers is based on Lin Manuel miranda� s award winning broadway stage musical. It� s centred on a Bodega Grocery Store owner who dreams of a better life played by Anthony Ramos who has been winning strong reviews. It� s a film that really celebrates the latino community, long underrepresented in mainstream cinema. The hope for me is that in five years, people go, why was in The Heights such a big deal . We have ten latino movies every year now. That would be a dream come true. To be quaint would be a dream come true. It� s just the Opening Act of this year� s Tribeca Film festival, which is marking the 20th Anniversary and making its presence felt all over the city. In the coming days some 60 full length features will be shown at outdoor Screening Locations and made available virtually as well. It has been billed as the first in person Film Festival in North America since the pandemic hit the continent. Tribeca� S Line up is socially aware black stories and storytellers are very present in a section devoted to juneteenth. Several films have an arab focus, with Films Made By Women Of Colour and lgbt film makers. And there� s a special documentary on the late chef anthony bourdain. Tribeca cofounder Robert De Niro sees his festival with the broad slate bringing the city together after the upheaval of the pandemic and social tumult of the last year. Film is a way of creating that, promoting that, the idea that we are all the same, different but the same. And we are all in it together. Tribeca is now helping New York rejuvenate post covid. Politicians have seized on tribeca� s presence to proclaim that New York is back and better than ever, but covid has left its mark and that there is still a way to go. But tribeca has opened boldly with in The Heights and will close on equally optimistic note by filling the 6000 Seat Landmark Radio City Music Hall to 100 capacity with a fully vaccinated movie loving crowd. Something that would have been unthinkable just a few weeks ago. Looks pretty uplifting. Don� t forget that you can get loads more news on the bbc website, including a feature on the New York Philemon Symphony orchestra and why they are performing among tombstones goodbye. Hello. Two main points to take from our forecast for the next five days. Number one, there is very little rain on the way for the uk as a whole, and number two temperatures will be sitting above average for the majority of us in the days ahead. The reason for this weather, this ridge of High Pressure which extends up from the azores. We will see various Weather Fronts trying to push their way into the northwest. There� ll be some rain for the Northern Isles on thursday. More cloud around in general and some patchy, Light Rain possible around western coasts and hills, often quite mucky and murky here with Mist And Fog as well. Best of the sunshine on thursday will be for central and eastern england. Quite windy to the north. That could break the cloud up quite nicely across eastern scotland, seeing temperatures up to 23 around the moray firth. Further south, 2a 25 across central and eastern england. Overnight thursday into friday, we do start to see a Weather Front having a bit more success working its way south across the uk, but not bearing anything significant in the way of rain. It basicallyjust introduces some slightly lower humidity here, so slightly less muggy across the northern half of the uk first thing on friday. To the south, still a warm and humid start, and a cold Weather Front works its way south through the day, but you can barely make it out. It� s essentially a few showers drifting their way south across england and wales. The odd one may be sharper, but certainly, the majority of places will stay dry. Ahead of the front, still looking at temperatures in the mid 20s, a Little Down on Thursday Thanks to more cloud. To the north, it will feel fresher, but temperatures still into the high teens, even the low 20s. And then, through the weekend, the High Pressure plumbs us into a more Southerly Airstream once again. It keeps things fine and it also bumps those temperatures back up after that brief dip behind the cold front on friday. There� s what� s left of the cold front heading off into the continent. Here is saturday. Aside from a bit of cloud across Western Scotland and perhaps Northern Ireland, wall to Wall Sunshine and temperatures above average across the uk. For sunday, just the chance of a little more in the way of rain getting pushed in on the front to Western Scotland. Elsewhere, though, again, a lot of dry weather. Sunday, if anything, the warmest of the two days. Eastern scotland up to 2a, perhaps close to 30 in the southeast. This is bbc news, the headlines us president , Joe Biden has arrived in the uk, on his first trip abroad since taking office.
