Are disrupted by coronavirus restrictions, as 5,000 fans are forced to leave the court. Welcome to our viewers on pbs in america and around the globe. 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 following the trump years. Late on Wednesday Night 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. 0ur North America Editor Jon Sopel has this report on the start of the us president s visit. For the first time since becoming president injanuary, Joe Biden steps out from Air Force one on to foreign soil. The soil of Suffolk And Raf mildenhall, to be precise, 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. Laughter. America is back on a role of global leadership, he told them. At every point along the way, were 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 were 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 0ne domestic issue where Joe 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, that played such a decisive role in bringing peace to Northern Ireland, 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 that 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 that our concern runs very deep on the Northern Ireland issue. For g7 leaders, there will be relief to see a more familiar style of american president less isolationist, more supportive of international bodies. Less capricious. But Theres Unease too 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� s got his work cut out. Jon sopel, bbc news. 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. The row concerns the northern Ireland Protocol which allows for Border Checks on goods going into Northern Ireland from great britain. The british prime Minister Borisjohnson said a resolution to the row was Easily Doable 0ur political Editor Laura Kuennsberg reports from cornwall. So, 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. I got it. As World Leaders make their way to cornwall, he wants to be the host with the most. Its a big moment. Dont 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. Its his first time on the european continent, its the first time any of us, really, have been able to see each other Face To face since the pandemic began. And you know, the pandemic, lets 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 uks 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. Its not too late, lets correct the path, lets 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 theres 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 times passed, the uk is frustrated, it wants the eu to be flexible about the deal, but the eus perplexed, they think the uks 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 theres a stand off, because neither side appears willing to budge. So the Problem Weve 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 werent any breakthroughs, there arent any breakdowns either, and were 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 from Around The World to show they can pull together. But unscripted moments, unplanned for spats, could always spoil the show. Reports from the us Say America will send 500 Million Szier Coronavirus vaccines to around 100 countries over the next two years. But congressional leaders are pushing for even more to be done. Earlier, i spoke to congressman raja krishnamoorthi. He is on the us Coronavirus Crisis select committee which has introduced some new legislation. He explains what he wants to achieve. This new bill called the Novid Act its a play on words, no more covid aims to basically vaccinate 60 of the population of the worlds 92 poorest countries. And this is absolutely needed right now, not only because its the right thing to do, but its also the smart thing to do to prevent those variants which are developing abroad, from coming back and defeating the progress we have made in our respective countries, with regard to obviously our health, but also our economic progress. So, to get to where you want to, 60 of 92 poorest countries, is 500 Million doses enough . Its an excellent, meaningful step in the right direction, its a great downpayment, but obviously to get to where we need to go, we need to have a lot more doses. We need to be talking about billions of doses being produced and then getting into peoples arms. So, how differently can these doses be produced in order to reach your target . Basically, our Novid Act spins up the Manufacturing Capacity not only of our domestic companies but also our foreign partners, and basically tries to get to a point where we can ensure end to End Delivery of these vaccines because if they dont end up in peoples arms, theyre not useful. So in my own Birth Country of india, we learned very quickly how variants and other strains of the coronavirus can take a country which was experiencing cases of no more than 10,000 per day, up to 300,000 per day in a matter of weeks, and we cant possibly allow that to happen either there or anywhere. So manufacturing will be easier in other countries, will it . Well, i think that, for instance, take india, which is the worlds largest producer of vaccines. Its an Essential Component of whats called the quadrilateral initiative the us, india, the australians and the japanese in helping to vaccinate asia, for instance, because the indians are licensed, they are able to produce the Astrazeneca Vaccine within their country, and then export it abroad. Of course, nobody predicted that they themselves would fall victim to such a huge surge of the coronavirus. And China And Russia seems to be making a lot of headway here. Is america going to look like its constantly catching up . No, i dont think so. I think at this point, if you offer the average person the sinovacs, which is the vaccine from china, or one of these modern vaccines either the pfizer vaccine, or the moderna, or Thejohnson Johnson Vaccine theyre going to choose the latter, theyre going to choose those ones that work. Lets get some of the days 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 2014. The murder of around 600, mainly shia, detainees at badush prison, was one of thejihadi groups biggest attacks. The wife of the mexican Drug Lord known as el chapo, emma coronel aispuro, is expected to plead guilty on thursday in a federal court in washington, where she has been accused of helping her husband run the Sinaloa Cartel of smugglers. If convicted on all the charges she faces, she could be sentenced to life in prison and fined up to 10 Million dollars. She was arrested in february. 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. On wednesday, the Law Firm schillings, which acts for the couple, wrote to some News Organisations saying that claim is false and defamatory. 0ur Royal Correspondent Jonny Dymond says that two different versions of events have emerged. Maybe its an issue of interpretation. But lets 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 Queens 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 had 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 there of what happened. The palace, or a Palace Source at least, 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 of the proprieties involved. Stay with us on bbc news, still to come why 5,000 Tennis Fans were forced to leave their seats during the french open, quarterfinals. 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 latest headlines on his first foreign trip as president , Joe Biden touches down in the uk. 0n 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. When President Biden meets his russian counterpart Vladimir Putin next week, hell be discussing the Treatment Russia has meted out to jailed anti Corruption Campaigner Alexei navalny. A statement by the Moscow City Court said navalny� s regional Network Offices and his anti Corruption Organisation were branded extremist and banned with immediate effect. That means anyone who publicly supports mr navalny� s political network can now be barred from running for public office. Well, russian parliamentary elections are due to take place in just over three months. Well, earlier, ispoke to Rachel Denberfrom human Rights Watch and asked her reaction to this latest news. Two basic reactions. One, that sadly, it is utterly unsurprising that the court ruled in this way. This is exactly what we can expect from Russias Justice systems, unfortunately. The second reaction is that its completely its a scandalous ruling, the lawsuit itself was completely unfounded and baseless. And its a very dangerous precedent thats been set. There are already organisations that have been branded extremist in russia for example, thejehovahs witnesses have been branded extremist in russia. And since that time, in 2017, there are now almost 500 people in russia who arejehovahs witnesses who are under criminal prosecution. 55 are now behind bars, either having been convicted and serving sentences of like four or five, six, seven years injail, or theyre awaiting jail. A worrying prospect for mr navalny� s supporters. They are appealing this, but what affect do you think this will have on the upcoming elections . Well, look, i mean, ithink the upcoming elections are pretty much a foregone conclusion. I think that the aim of banning whats called the non systemic Opposition Movement, the state Opposition Movement, its not in the parliament, a probably premier of non systemic Opposition Movement, thats to say an Opposition Movement thats not in the parliament. The aim of that is to remove, ithink, a movement that the government cant control. I dont think they ever really stood a chance in the upcoming election anyway.

The full spectacle will be visible from northern canada, greenland and some parts of russia. And weather permitting, a partial eclipse will be seen in northern asia, europe and the United States. Our science correspondent, rebecca morelle, has more. Its one of natures most dazzling sites the Moon Casting its shadow across The Sun. The Northernmost Parts Of The World will be treated to the best view, where the total eclipse will begin in canada, travelling across a narrow band of the earth before ending in siberia. And its a special solar event known as an annular eclipse. An annular eclipse happens when the moon is a little bit further away from the earth, so it looks smaller in the sky. And what youll be able to see is a sort of ring around the moon, and that is way the annular Solar Eclipses are sometimes known as the ring of fire. Theyre incredibly beautiful eclipses to spot as well. So, how can you safely watch the eclipse . Well, you should never look at The Sun directly or through sunglasses, because you can seriously damage your eyes. Use two pieces of card, one with a hole in it, to make a projection of The Sun. Or if you can get a pair of certified eclipse viewers, you can use these to watch the spectacle instead. Across other parts of the globe, the United States, northern europe and northern asia, a partial eclipse will be visible. Scientists are urging people to take a look. I think it gives us an opportunity to connect with The Sun. Normally, The Sun is so dazzlingly bright we kind of dont pay much attention to it, but during an eclipse of one form or another, we are able to remind ourselves, that if we look safely and with special filters and projection techniques, we can look at The Sun and we can look at the Moon Gliding in front of it and remind ourselves this sort of clockwork Solar System that we live in. Eclipse watchers everywhere will be hoping for good weather. If not, there will be another annular eclipse at the end of the year, one that will sweep across antarctica. Rebecca morelle, bbc news.

Imean, i mean, anything dipped in chocolate, quite wrinkly, is delicious. Isnt it . Quite frankly. Would you try one . Thats it for now. Its been a pleasure. 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 in to the north west. Therell 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, 211 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. Its 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. Theres whats 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 south east.
