Scientists in indonesia said he found a way to limit the spread of the virus by 77 . It is a summit of firsts the first time g7 leaders are meeting Face To face since the pandemic, the first overseas Trip Forjoe Biden as the us president and, this afternoon, the first meeting between the president and uk prime Son'>Minister Boris JohnSon. They have been meeting for bilateral talks on the sidelines of the G7 Summit in cornwall discussing Transatlantic Travel and signing a new So called atlantic charter, designed to reaffirm the two countries Special Relationship. The talks were great, they went on for long time. We covered a huge range of subjects and its wonderful to listen to the biden administratiOn AndJoe Biden because all, theres So much they want to do together with us. From security, nato, to Climate Change. Its fantastic, its a breath of fresh air. A lot of things that they wanted to do together. We air. A lot of things that they wanted to do together. Air.

Prime ministerjohnSon and i had a very productive meeting. We discharged and discussed a broad range discharged and discussed a broad range of discharged and discussed a broad range of issues on which the united Kingdom Range of issues on which the united kingdom and the United States are working kingdom and the United States are working in kingdom and the United States are working in very close cooperation. We affirmed the Special Relationship, and its not said lately, relationship, and its not said lately, the Special Relationship between our people. And renewed our commitment to defending The Enduring commit commitment to defending The Enduring commit two democratic values. Christian fraser is there for us in cornwall good to see you. Mood music matters, language matters but lets start with the details what would you pick out is the most significant detail within that bilateral meeting . I think obviously its a reset. Boris johnSon put out a statement this morning saying its been very difficult over the last year, countries have been working independently and what is G7 Summit gives them an opportunity to do is to work with common purpose. Thats what were going to hear over the next course of the three days. Youre right, language is important. In an interview that borisjohnSon gave last week he said he didnt like the term Special Relationship. He said he thought it made the uk seemed needy. ButJoe Biden speaking in the last hour said that he doesnt use that term lightly because what he refers to is he said, a set of shared values, respect for democracy. How these two countries lead by example and he alSo talks about the very important things they can do together when they work closely. So as Son'>Boris JohnSon was just saying theyre on The Beast that they are going to set out the path for Climate Change. With the un climate two Climate Change coming up at The End of the year. Theyre going to talk about what they can do to get the Vaccine ProgrammeAround The World working properly. Lets face it, the picture in africa at the moment, asia is pretty abject given that we are into this vaccine program. They will talked about Girls Education which is crucially and pour into talking about tackling poverty in developing countries. Force the neck first and foremost for all these leaders here its about proving to the rest of the world that democracies can work. Theres a feeling i think that china, russia, what they need to show is that they are speaking with one voice and after the difficult. On under donald trump, Joe Biden wants to show that the alliances across the atlantic is the root back our strongest they once were. Across the atlantic is the root back our strongest they once were. Stay there christian because there are Some issues overshadowing the talks the Post Brexit Trade arrangements in Northern Ireland. The issue is around the Northern Ireland protocol, which is designed to keep an open border between Northern Ireland and the republic of ireland, which is still a member of the eu. To achieve that, Some checks are necessary on goods entering Northern Ireland from elsewhere in the united kingdom. The Uk Isnt pleased with the way its working in practice, and wants the eu to be more flexible, the eu says it simply wants the uk to stick to the deal it signed last year. Today we heard from the president of the european commission, Ursula Von Der leyen. We agree with the united kingdom that protocol was the only SolutiOn And ensuring the absence of a hard border and ensuring the absence of a hard border of and ensuring the absence of a hard border of Northern Ireland. We have been really border of Northern Ireland. We have been really debating that since years been really debating that since years and we have found The One And OnlySolution. Now, we have a treaty only Solution. Now, we have a treaty on bat. Only Solution. Now, we have a treaty on bet. The only Solution. Now, we have a treaty on bat, the withdrawal agreement. It has been on bat, the withdrawal agreement. It has been signed by both sides. It is important has been signed by both sides. It is important that we now implement the brotocot protocol. So where doesJoe Biden come in . Well hes been vocal about his his irish heritage and since becoming president he has expressed his attachment to the good Friday Agreement that the us helped to broker peace in Northern Ireland in 1998 stressing that any talks between the eu and the Uk Need to ensure that the agreement is upheld. And the president met with Son'>Boris JohnSon as weve been discussing after that. The bbc� s Larkins Word as borisjohnSon at the issue had come up. H0 as Son'>Boris JohnSon at the issue had come u. , � �. , come up. No he didnt. But what i can say the come up. No he didnt. But what i can say the united come up. No he didnt. But what i can say the United States, can say the United States, washington, The Uk Plus the European Union have one thing abSolutely all want to do and that is to uphold the good Friday Agreement. And make sure we keep the balance of the Peace Process going. Thats abSolutely common ground. Im optimistic we can do that. , common ground. Im optimistic we can do that. ,. , do that.

Youvejust of the Brexit Agreement are nonnegotiable. Youve just heard from ursula but underlined that the protocol is the only Solution, it was hammered out over several years and they see it as the only way forward. There are Some people who say the uk signed up to this, didnt they know what they were signing up to . Of course they did. Lord frost knew exactly what this meant but i sense they thought when they reality dawned and when things started to develop on the ground that may be they, Some flexibility would appear on the European Side. There doesnt appear to be that flexibility. Except there was one chink of Light Today perhaps for the british side and it was this, that Ursula Vonda Lyon said that this has to work for all sides of the community. Which it does, of course it does because the union is the most crucial a part of the good Friday Agreement as the nationalists in Northern Ireland. And the union is filled very bitterly at the moment that being separated from great britain. Although there is in trenches and on the European Side and although although there is in trenches and on the European Side and Althouthoe Biden is saying to the bridge Prime Minister you are inflaming the situation, we are where we are. Its what remains to be seen i think over the course of the next few days what role the Irish American president can play in pairs. Does he stand in the middle of the two sides like the parent trying to bang their heads together at the angry children. Does he find Some way forward . Is a Something that they can offer to the Uk Side . There was talk today look, if you sign up to Agricultural Standards the uk had it wont discount in american Trade Deal with the uk. Is there Something like that they can ease the way for the two sides . Wejust they can ease the way for the two sides . We just dont know. They can ease the way for the two sides . Wejust dont know. But whether or not its overshadowing the early part of the summer two summit, ithink the early part of the summer two summit, i think it is all were talking about at the moment and No Doubt its been mentioned in that Hour Discussion this afternoon between Son'>Boris JohnSon Hour Discussion this afternoon between borisjohnSon and biden. Irate between borisjohnSon and biden. We talked about the bilateral meeting about next lets talk about the subject which is sure to dominate. And clearly the big topic will be the Coronavirus Pandemic and in particular vaccinating the worlds poorest countries. BorisjohnSon in this says he wants the developing world by The End of next year. And as weve been hearing in the last Hour President biden has made his own announcement on vaccines. ,. , on vaccines. United states will urchase on vaccines.

Where over 70 here in the uk. Adults that have had One Shot, thats great. But then look at the situation in africa, just 2 of the continent vaccinated So far. 500 Million vaccine starting in august is a really good start but its a drop in the ocean. We require Something like 12 Billion vaccines over the course of the next 12 months in order to put a dent in this pandemic. There is going to have to be an awful lot of discussion over the course of the next few days over where those extra vaccines come from. There are Ex Leaders around A HundredEx Leaders around A HundredEx LeadersPrime Ministers, former secretaries assigned in Open Letter to the g7 saying it needs about 66 Billion in the g7 needs to step up two thirds of that. Thats an awful lot of money in the context of the debts that all these countries have run up. That will need to be thrashed out. They want to talk about a global surveillance initiative. This Radar System whereby they would all work together collectively to spot identify and eradicate new variants that might p0p up eradicate new variants that might pop up Around The World. When you think about that, that begs the obvious questions. What happens when you get a variant in a country like Chatter Ethiopia . Do we in with vaccines or Testing Kits made available . Are Testing Kits made available . Are Testing Kits made available for weeks and months to come So it doesnt re emerge . That takes an awful lot of Collaboration And Sharing of information. And i dont think the world is anywhere near that point at the moment. When i say their big promises being made, yes there are. They are setting the direction this week and that is crucially important. But it is details like that that the who and outside partners will want to know before they have any confidence that the g7 is delivering the Solutions. Thank you christian. Christian is guiding us through the G7 Summit in the next 48 hours. Lets turn to another big story here in the uk. The governments Health SecretaryMatt Hickok has been given evidence to parliament over his handling of the pandemic. Inevitably he it had to answer a series of the questions by allegations made by prime Son'>Ministers BorisjohnSon former chief ministers Son'>Boris JohnSon former chief AdviserSon'>Ministers BorisjohnSon former chief Adviser dominic cummings. Here is Some of what we heard from Matt Hancock. We heard from Matt Hancock. I have got out of bed every morning with the view and the attitude that myjob is to do everything i could to protect lives and to get this country out of the pandemic. Over 127,000 people are reported to have died of covid in the uk, and in his evidence two weeks ago, mr cummings said the governments inept handling of the pandemic led to Tens Of Thousands of unnecessary deaths. I think that the Secretary State of health i think that the Secretary State of health should been fired for at least health should been fired for at least 15 health should been fired for at least 15 to 30 things including tying least 15 to 30 things including lying in least 15 to 30 things including lying in meeting after meeting.

I now have a better idea of who was. Newspapers. I now have a better idea of who was of who was. Well, Wonky Question from the beginning of who was. Well, Wonky Question from the beginning of of who was. Well, Wonky Question from the beginning of the of who was. Well, Wonky Question i from the beginning of the pandemic is how Care Homes or werent protected. From March Tojune 2020 in england and wales nearly 30,000 more residents died in Care Homes than in the whole of the previous year. Many of the dust were found to involve Covid I9. The uk had a limited Testing Capacity in the early days of the pandemic which made it harder to protect Care Home residents from covid. Questions remain about why people were discharged from hospital to Care Homes in the way that it occurred. Dominic cummings accused the Health Secretary of misleading the government on this issue. We were told categorically in march that people would be tested before they went back to Care Homes. We only subsequently found out that that hadnt happened. Now while the Government Rhetoric was we put a shield around Care Homes and blah blah, was complete nonsense. Quite the opposite putting shield around them, we sent people with covid back to the Care Homes. This was the Health Secretarys response. We set out a policy that people would be tested when tests were available. And then i set about building the Testing Capacity to be able to deliver on that. Sadly, the biggest route oh Covid I9 into Care Homes is through the community. Its through people who live in the Community And Work in the Care Home. As of the most important thing for protecting people and Care Homes was Staff Testing which we introduced as Soon as we had the Testing Capacity to be able to do So. To be able to do So. Jonathan blake was watching to be able to do So. Jonathan blake was watching all to be able to do So. Jonathan blake was watching all others. To be able to do So. Jonathan blake was watching all others. Here to be able to do So. Jonathan blake was watching all others. Here are l was watching all others. Here are his thoughts. Was watching all others. Here are his thoughts his thoughts. There were bigger auestions his thoughts. There were bigger questions from his thoughts. There were bigger questions from the his thoughts. There were bigger questions from the mp his thoughts. There were bigger questions from the mp about i his thoughts. There were biggerl questions from the mp about the Governments Response to coronavirus and the uks preparedness to deal with the pandemic as it emerged last year. There were Some regrets from Matt Hancock about not pushing back against scientific advice at the public wouldnt have complied with lockdowns over long periods of time as they have now been shown to do. That was part of the reaSoning he said that the government didnt lock down Sooner. AlSo challenging he said the notion that coronavirus could not be transmitted a symptomatically which was the advice that the government was the advice that the government was getting early on. That again turned out to be inaccurate. And there was alSoSome revealing information from Mr Hancock about more pressing questions in the Here And Now that the Delta Variant of coronavirus first discovered in india is now largely dominant in the Uk Accounting for the vast majority of cases. AlSo on that looming decision in the coming days about whether england will be able to take its final step out of lock out measures onjune the 21st, when all legal restrictions are due to be lifted. He said he was naturally cautious when approaching such decisions. And you echoed the Prime Ministers words and less data So that that decision is seemingly not a foregone conclusion. Everyone can see that cases are going up. They are more decisions to come from Matt Hancock before the pandemic passes that he will doubtless be judged hancock before the pandemic passes that he will doubtless Bejudged On and doubtless faced further questions on in the future. Weve been talking about president bidens trip. Cyber security. This company has paid Eleven Million Dollars to reSolve a major Cyber Attack. Its called jbs and its the worlds biggest Meat Processing Company. It was hit by a Cyber Attack nearly two weeks ago which shut down many of its plants in the us. Its the worlds biggest meat industry. It was hit by this attack nearly two weeks ago. Many Business Plans were shut down click back down by it.

It appears that there was a russian Criminal Group for having me. It appears that there was a russian Criminal Group called| was a russian Criminal Group called result. They in the United States and in australia. What they essentially did it it Sounds at this point the all details are not out they were able to take a lock up Some data, essential data of the company. The company had Back Ups and it Sounds like it took Some time to ensure that the systems were going to continue to work be up and running a loss about a day of production. Obviously this concerns any time a Criminal Group has excellent traded significant amounts of sensitive data are and you want to get that data back. You dont want them to have it, you dont want them to be able to leak it you can have all Sorts of Company Or Customer information you want to keep.

At a federal level, at a Government Level what is joe at a federal level, at a Government Level what isJoe Biden and his administration think they can possibly do to help these companies protect themselves . I possibly do to help these companies protect themselves . Protect themselves . I think unfortunately protect themselves . I think unfortunately the protect themselves . I think unfortunately the answer i protect themselves . I think unfortunately the answer is | protect themselves . I think unfortunately the answer is very little. Although they are Some similarities between the two attacks both for russian Criminal Groups. Which to be clear is a very thin wall between the russian civil groups and the russian intelligence. It is very unlikely that either was able to a company without the ok of the Intelligence Services there. What they were looking to do is to put pressure on the russian government to essentially clean up things going on in its territory. Its very difficult when a Criminal Act is taking place in the United States that the criminals themselves have never stepped foot in the United States. How will we get access . The only way is to liaise with russian Intelligence Or Law enforcement services in order for them to clean up the mess that they have there. The russians arent particularly incentivised to do it. Help me understand the nature and of the interaction with the hackers once a company decides to pay. This Meat Processing Company wants to protect its self against future problems and that was one of the reaSon it paid given that its dealing with hackers from abroad how can you be sure paying the money will do that . I can you be sure paying the money will do that . Will do that . I think its been a really fascinating will do that . I think its been a really fascinating Sort will do that . I think its been a really fascinating Sort of will do that . I think its been a l really fascinating Sort of industry that cropped up with us. They have a thin veneer of Business Practices with The Dark Side which executed colonial pipeline provides rental where as a service. Essentially provide technology for other groups it execute. They actually have customer service line, they help the company is long in order to how they can effectuate payments and get information back, give them tools to a Marker Dater and Sometimes clean up a Marker Dater and Sometimes clean up their system. At The End of the day they Criminal Groups. Should be concern in the back of Everyones Mind Today they may pay 11 Million and feel like their data is secure but the data essentially they could be multiple copies out there. How can they be sure that this group didnt destroy the copies that they had or didnt put any footholds are essentially places that they can reenter the system when they had access . They can be assured that. In many ways its really the company could get back in a year and say ii could get back in a year and say 11 Million payments that was 2021, in 2020 two we need another million dollars.

That is coming up in a couple of minutes time. Good evening. Thursday has been a day of chasing cloud amounts and we started on a grey note and for Some, The Cloud lingered all day, thick enough for Some light rain is well across highlands in scotland. Further South and east, The Cloud broke up and it was a warm afternoon but a little bit of with a cloud in compariSon to recent days and if you take a look at the satellite picture, you can see how extensive The Cloud is been and i was up to the west, thick enough to a drizzle, you can just make it out Some visibility and that low cloud, that Mist And Mirk is going to continue to plague the West Coast through the night and that whether funds will continue to scotland as well. A very weak affair by then and it will introduce more cloud. Generally, it is going to be a rather humid night So get a good Night Sleep and lives generally over the mid uncomfortable first thing in the morning. A Weather Front moving in England And North wells and he will gradually bring more stubborn cloud towards the midlands slowing brightening up and slightly over here at 19 degrees, and front of that Weather Front squeezing that warmth down into the Southeast corner. That does mean for day two of the second test that the Weather Front may well bring Some cloud and the Odd Spot of drizzle or two but we not expecting it to cause any significant disruption. As you move into the weekend, the high Pressure Site to build once again and the darker tones push all the way to the country for the second half of the weekend the warmth is going to return and be quite widespread and as we move into saturday, dry lot� s of sunshine coming through, just the risk of a few scattered light showers into the far north of scotland, but generally speaking, a pleasant day and temperatures would be a 25 degrees in the Southeast and that 17 fahrenheit. 77 as we look further ahead, it does look likely that further north you go, we will start to see Some Warmth Warmth returning to the second half of the weekend, but fresher conditions returning to the week ahead and further South, we should keep that dry sunny weather and keep that Warmth Peeking on monday and tuesday, back down to where we should be in terms of the time of year by The End of the week.

Heres the Press Release on the pfizer any risks. Heres the Press Release on The Pfizerjab any risks. Heres the Press Release on The Pfizerjab for any risks. Heres the Press Release on The Pfizerjab for 12 any risks. Heres the Press Release on The Pfizerjab for 12 to on The Pfizerjab for 12 to 15 year olds, it is explicit, It Toa to a sense of normalcy it couldnt be clearer, but for Some, Vaccinating Children is farfrom a straightforward decision. This concern about intergenerational unfairness. The times columnist tweeted. Or there is the World Health Organization with this critique. There are concerns too about whether or not research is been done when using this vaccine as a scale with children. There are a lot of questions. Let us take you through what we know. First of all, these are the countries that are vaccinating young children with The Pfizerjab. Israel began in early june america, canada and germany are doing it too and france will start Soon. In the uk, the regulators are given clearance but the government is at the decide whether or not to go ahead. And here is pfizer tweeting that a trail of over 2000 and the lesSons of do understand why Some countries have decided to vaccinate children, there are several factors to consider. The first is to reduce transmission of covid 19 in schools which produces the risks of disruption to schooling. Here is my colleague on that. The biggest benefit for children and unionis . Is preventing outbreaks we know that the Delta Variant does seem to be spreading more easily among secondary schools. The argument being the reducing transmission in School Subs to reduce transmission across Society and helps reduce the transmission of new variants. Have a look at this tweet. He says the Delta Variant and if he is focused on the current variant, there is concern about future variance too. This is the head of the Israeli Paediatric Foundation speaking to the bbc. The argument here being that if there is one section of the community with the virus can evolve and spread unchecked, there is a risk to the whole community. In risk to the whole community. In helping to restrict transmission is the first argument for Vaccinating Children. The second is that while the vast vast majority of those who get covid 19 are not ill, Some still need protecting as this us scientist notes. Brute need protecting as this us scientist notes. ~ , need protecting as this us scientist notes. ~. ,. , , notes. We are seeing fairly severe disease and notes. We are seeing fairly severe disease and our notes. We are seeing fairly severe disease and our older notes. We are seeing fairly severe disease and our older teenagers i notes. We are seeing fairly severe | disease and our older teenagers as well and i disease and our older teenagers as well and i think that we are seeing a little well and i think that we are seeing a little bit. Well and i think that we are seeing a little bit, we are seeing a bit more a little bit, we are seeing a bit more acutely now that a lot of adults more acutely now that a lot of adults have been vaccinated. But if that is a focus adults have been vaccinated. But if that is a focus on adults have been vaccinated. But if that is a focus on a adults have been vaccinated. But if that is a focus on a smaller adults have been vaccinated. But if that is a focus on a smaller Lot Adults have been vaccinated. But if that is a focus on a smaller lot of l that is a focus on a smaller lot of adolescence, the argument here is that Vaccinating Children helps those most at risk like older adults in vulnerable people. That summed up by the doctors sarah long who said. They may be wondering why this issue remains contentious. People are unconvinced that this may be the linchpin in the first is whether or not children being vaccinated in part to make up for Some adults not getting vaccinated themselves. Listen to adam finn, another Uk GovernmentAdviser. Listen to adam finn, another Uk GovernmentAdviser. There is clear evidence from government Adviser. There is clear evidence from israel government Adviser. There is clear evidence from israel that government Adviser. There is clear evidence from israel that by evidence from israel that by immunising sufficiently high proportional adults with the vaccine, you can actually eliminate the infection with children without immunising them at all and if that proves to be the situation that we find ourselves in, then there wouldnt be anyjustification for immunising children who were not of any risk at all. Immunising children who were not of any risk at all any risk at all. New variants could chan. E any risk at all. New variants could change that any risk at all. New variants could change that equation any risk at all. New variants could change that equation but any risk at all. New variants could change that equation but his any risk at all. New variants could | change that equation but his point still stands and other scientists. Look at this quote. Which begs the question, should more be done to ensure all adults get vaccinated before children are involved. If that is given pause for thought, So is whether or not we know enough about the effect on children. This article, three Ethics Experts talk at the University Of Oxford that. The regulators Advisers say that they are satisfied and they have adequately accessed the risks. Assessed. The second marking and children right now is the biggest question of how to stop this pandemic globally. If that is the goal, the un children is clear. That goal, the un children is clear. At Some point, we will need to vaccinate Some point, we will need to vaccinate under a teens and the Priority Vaccinate under a teens and the priority At Vaccinate under a teens and the priority at this moment has to be making priority at this moment has to be making sure that all of the vulnerable and priority groups around vulnerable and priority groups Around The World get vaccines. And that matches Around The World get vaccines. 9ch that matches the mantra Around The World get vaccines. 9 1c that matches the mantra of Around The World get vaccines. 9. 1c that matches the mantra of No One is safe until everyone is safe. But just as we have seem with Climate Change, it is a bit naive to consider global considerations would trump the considerations of national leadership. Senior Uk Politicians past and present acknowledge this. The priority will always be first to get your own country vaccinated and we are doing that. We are doing that. Those priorities mean they are we are doing that. Those priorities mean they are buying we are doing that. Those priorities mean they are buying up we are doing that. Those priorities mean they are buying up the we are doing that. Those priorities mean they are buying up the bulk| we are doing that. Those priorities i mean they are buying up the bulk of the Vaccine Supply and economics children being vaccinated ahead of adults elsewhere and not yet in the uk should emphasise but we have seen criticism of the prospects. They argue that to do this, britain and other western countries would be visibly choosing not to save lives overseas. For its part, the g7 would point to the billions that have been committed to Vaccine Programmes in the developing world. But think back to that tweet from Joe Biden. He wants to vaccinate children to restrict the Delta Variant in the us. 0k. Restrict the Delta Variant in the us. Ok. But then listen to former us President Bill clinton talking to the bbc. I think the g7 has a big obligation to get that vaccine out as quickly as possible to obligation to get that vaccine out as quickly as possible as quickly as possible to poor countries as quickly as possible to poor countries was as quickly as possible to poor countries was updated as quickly as possible to poor countries was updated all as quickly as possible to poor. Countries was updated all these variants countries was updated all these variants they keep coming up. All of us Will Variants they keep coming up. All of us will keep variants they keep coming up. All of us will keep coming back to the uk in the us will keep coming back to the uk in the United States. He us will keep coming back to the uk in the United States. In the United States. He is not criticising in the United States. He is not criticising joe in the United States. He is not criticising Joe Biden in the United States. He is not criticising Joe Biden here in the United States. He is not criticising Joe Biden here and i j criticising Joe Biden here and i should note, as he arrived at the g7, he confirmed the us will provide 500 Million pfizerjabs to other countries by next year. However, every leader knows theres not enough vaccines at the moment and that variants are a threat and there is an inevitable tension between managing those variants nationally and globally. And whether the vaccinate children is part of that equation meaning that in time, each country and each parent will have a choice to make. You can find more analysis from outside Source elsewhere on the bbc. Each week we tackle a different subject. You can see our videos on the Bbc News website. Previous editions are on bbc Sounds app too if you prefer to listen. Theres lots of ways to find them across the bbc just search for my name. Now lets return to the g7 and particularly look at where its being hosted cornwall. Its a popular Tourist Destination in the South-west'>South West of england known for its stunning coastal towns. Like St Ives where the summit is taking place. But that identity has been flipped on its head this week. Along with World Leaders and their entourages, more than 6,000 police have descended on St Ives and neighbouring Carbis Bay. Huge fences put up for miles around the Carbis BayHotel And Beach to keep a safe perimiter around the summit. And even the local Train Station has been closed with trains replaced by Police Officers checking for any suspicious packages. David white Radio Presenter for bbc cornwall. Probably only scratch the surface early on with the amount of disruption thats coming to the g7. You know what it is, its not as bad as it had to imagined it would be. People look around and they see it is pretty bad and you have to remember your id cards, youll get stopped trying to get in, you cannot use the Branch Line and on the train. There is disruption for the three main areas and where the g7 is being held. Elsewhere, the excitement is about where the planes are flying overhead and the coast and disruption, but everyone else in cornwall not too bad at all but the three main areas are pretty bad. I three main areas are pretty bad. I know cornwall pretty well in a crib there and i know with the thinking very good start. You have Some animated callers to put it one way and. ~ , ,. , animated callers to put it one way and. , , ,. , and. Will be decided is at hq, the excitement and. Will be decided is at hq, the excitement and and. Will be decided is at hq, the excitement and the and. Will be decided is at hq, the excitement and the money and. Will be decided is at hq, the excitement and the Money Shut i excitement and the Money Shut everyone is therefore and clearly, the bedwetting of the dark So we could get any good shots or non press shots of Air Force one. But there are four main categories of people in cornwall for the people who could not care less or not interested at all, people decided to get out of cornwall and Go Visit Friends and relatives outside of cornwall because they dont want to be here when its on the if the people were interested in it but are quite angry at what is going on, the disruption that is going On And around the bay. Changes that are happening and the year of the people who love it, theyjust loved everything and they want to sample the whole thing that is going on at a house talking to Some families that kept the kids up after midnight this is they can keep these cars going through into last night, they have those people in the fourth group of people are the plain sponSors and the ships boxers and believe me, there is a lot of action for them. There is plenty of from where you are in the G7 And Cornwall, think its going be good for cornwall but if you are a business thats going to be disruptive, its not going to be great for you both there are Some big businesses that are benefiting from it. But ok, there Some description, for a week, a bit longer if you were in St Ives, but it is a big event that is happening here in cornwall and putting it in The Public Eye again. This seems familiar with The Public Eye again. This seems familiar with the The Public Eye again. This seems familiar with the tourism familiar with the Tourism Relationship it brings a lot of people, jobs and the cornish have a, as he put it, a delicate relationship with tourists. Is as he put it, a delicate relationship with tourists. Is like a Lovehate Relationship with tourists. Is like a Lovehate Relationship. Relationship with tourists. Is like a Lovehate Relationship. We relationship with tourists. Is like l a Lovehate Relationship. We know relationship with tourists. Is like a Lovehate Relationship. We know we a Love Hate relationship. We know we need tourism. Theres plenty and theyre going to bring in 50 Million pounds for cornwalljust theyre going to bring in 50 Million pounds for cornwall just over this week of the G7 And Cornwall survives on tourism. Tourism is a massive part of our industry here but yes, we want the pour us down here. They were great when No One could come and visit and everyone is going to pile into cornwall and the businesses that are involved are going to do really well and we look forward to them coming but of course there is the problem that cornwall is quite small and a 600,000 people in cornwall get inflated by the amount of roads being really tiny, theres no wayJoe Biden is going to get down here. Youre not getting around St Ives, thats for sure. And So the infrastructure can be a problem when there are So many people coming down in the summer. But youre right, we need the tourists to come down and what the tourists to come down and what the tourists to come down and what the tourists to come down but there is the problem that cornwall gets overcrowded, of course. Is in the problem that cornwall gets overcrowded, of course. Is in the cornish perSon overcrowded, of course. Is in the cornish perSon knows overcrowded, of course. Is in the cornish perSon knows driving overcrowded, of course. Is in the cornish perSon knows driving through St Ives the daytime is a bad idea especially when the g7 is in town. Thank you very much. That is david from Bbc Radio and that is the bbc sans app. Stay with us on outside Source still to come, well have a look at the partial Solar eclipse that has been dazzling the Northern Hemisphere. The Earl Of Wessex has spoken to the bbc on the 100th . Birthday of his late father, the duke of edinburgh. He spoke to daniela relph. We wouldve we would have loved it if he had been here and been with us. He didnt really want all the fuss and bother, and So we celebrate what might have been and his life, and i think we try to turn it into Something thats very positive. The funeral was an extraordinary day. It was very strange, coming from the the outside with all the pageantry, and then coming into into st georges chapel, especially into the nave which was completely empty. It was a very moving, very Sombre experience. And a lot of people were moved by seeing your mother as well in the chapel, sitting alone in her mask. It must have been very difficult for you to not be alongside her and able to comfort her that day. Yes, exactly that. But then thats no different to what So many other families have been experiencing up and down the country throughout this past year. We cant escape the fact that it has been a difficult few months for the Royal Family on a number of levels, but particularly around the situation with the Duke And Duchess of sussex and how that has played out So publicly. I stay way out of it. Thats much the safest place to be. And do you feel any sadness about how its played out . Oh, course, you know. I mean, there are all Sorts of issues and circumstances there. But, you know, weve all been through there. Weve all had that same spotlight shone on our lives. Weve been subjected to massive intrusiOn And all the rest of it, and we all deal with it in different ways. A new baby for harry and meghan, the sweet baby lilibet, a name that will be very meaningful for yourfamily. Well, wejust wish them all happiness. Its fantastic news, and yeah, abSolutely. I hope theyre very happy, and. And, yeah. How would you like your father to be remembered . Everybody will have their own memories. He was that Sort of larger than life perSon. Once met, never forgotten. This is outside Source live from the Bbc Newsroom. Our Lead Story is. The us will donate 500 Million vaccine doses to help the global fight against covid 19. Us president Joe Biden made the announcement ahead of the G7 Summit in cornwall. Climate change will be near the top of the agenda at this weekends G7 Summit. Ben rich from Bbc Weather has been looking at the challenges the leaders are faced with. G7 leaders meet against the backdrop of warnings about the state of our climate. According to the world meteorological organisation, theres a 90 chance that one of the next five years will be the warmest on record. And there is a 40 chance in one of those years, the average global temperatures will reach one and a half degrees above preindustrial levels, that is the Target Set in the Paris Climate Agreement for 2016. This would only be a temporary knowledge above the limit and not a permanent shift but it does suggest a worrying trend. More than half of the usa is now in a mega drought, affecting over 94 Million people. More than 25 of the country is suffering from severe to exceptional tract shown by the drought. Colours here. Compared to months ago. Mexico and canada are affected as well. In the united arab emirates, temperature of 51. 8 celsius has been reported and thought to be a new Record Forjune and equal to the all time highest temperature. Lets spin the globe to the arctic admits the early summer heat wave, the Son'>Welfare SeaSon is already under way. Fires are burning as early as april, causing a spike in Greenhouse Gas emissions and thats after two record breaking years for fires in that part of the world. In spite of all this, im very modern standards, the start of 2021 was actually relatively cool around the globe. The period january to april was cooler than any year since 2015 and this is bits of blue around various parts of the world. But it was still above the longer term norm. One of the reaSons for this is the natural phenomenon known as la nina. Which brings cooler waters to the specific Intent Staff according to effect around the globe. But, forecasters have now declared this latest event over, paving the way for temperatures declined. And the Ni O has notjust affect the temperature is, in the east side of australia after years of drought and bushfires, this summer brought more rain and much better conditions of farmers. However, let me show you these shocking pictures because the conditions were alSo ripe for almost unimaginable plagues of mice and new South wales. Rodent numbers have exploded, bringing Damage And Disease and decimating vital crops. The Greenhouse Gas emissions driving man made Climate Change fell back during the early stages of the Coronavirus Pandemic. But, as economies continue to open early this year, Carbon Dioxide emissions rose by 7. 4 compared to the same period in 2020. And that is the dilemma that they will be grappling with. How to boost the economic recovery without the planet paying the price. Dengue fever makes millions of people sick each each year but scientists in indonesia have managed to sharply reduce its spread. Theyve done So with an experimental technique using bacteria. Heres show it works. Dengue fever is spread through mosquitos. And in this case, mosquitos were infected with a type of bacteria called wol bachia. This bacteria then takes up the space in the mosquito where the Dengue Virus would normally grow. They managed to do this by injecting the bacteria into mosquito eggs. That wasnt easy it took thousands of goes. But in The End it worked. Those eggs then produced mosquitos and those mosquitos carried the bacteria. Then when they mated with other untreated mosquitos the bacteria was based on. And On And on. Heres the Lead Scientist of the trial. Well, its a remarkable little bacteria. Its really ubiquitous across many insect species, it wasnt naturally found in this mosquito that spreads dengue. Whatever did was generate a stable infectiOn And that Mosquito Ends demonstrate that when the mosquito has its bacteria its much more resistant to getting a dinghy Virus Infection. Or indeed a zeka Virus Infection or chicken virus. This bacteria is really setting up a big great big Stop Sign and the mosquito and stopping these viruses from infecting mosquitoes in the mosquito population. Now, this has been very successful. Its Cut Infections by 77 . That matters because Dengue Fever infects up to 400 Million people a year globally. It causes sickness and severe pain in muscles and bones. In extreme cases it can be life threatening. Heres more from Health Correspondent james gallagher. We spent a year and a half talking about a pandemic. While dengue is a pandemic that has been going on for 50 yea rs. Going back to the 1970s it was in a handful of countries. Now its all around the tropical belt Around The World now. Its spreading in parts of europe and parts of say the United States. Its a genuine Growing ProblemAround The World. We have no other tools for controlling it, there are no other vaccines. There are kind of ok drugs but there were no brilliant drugs. What we are currently looking for is a way of stopping it spreading. Now skygazers in parts of the Northern Hemisphere have been treated to a Solar eclipse. One of natures most Dazzling Spectacles the moon casting its shadow across The Sun leaving a sliver of light around the edge. But where you are depends on what you can see. The total eclipse began in canada before travelling over the artic and ending in siberia. With most of the Northern Hemisphere only treated to a partial eclipse. As seen here in the uk this the view from edinburgh in scotland. Slightly cloudy but you can see The Sun missing a bit. The best views we have seen So far are from Northern Canada where the blazing intensity of The Sun is marked by the missing piece covered by the moon. This special event is known as an annular eclipse as the moon is slightly further away from the earth Sometimes creating an effect know as the Ring Of Fire where The Suns light is visible around the outline of the moon. Good evening. Thursday has been a day of chasing cloud amounts and we started on a grey note and for Some, The Cloud lingered all day, thick enough for Some light rain is well across highlands in scotland. Further South and east, The Cloud broke up and it was a warm afternoon but a little bit of Fairweather Cloud in compariSon to recent days and if you take a look at the satellite picture, you can see how extensive The Cloud is been and i was up to the west, thick enough to a drizzle, you can just make it out Some visibility and that low cloud, that Mist And Mirk is going to continue to plague the West Coast through the night and that whether funds will continue to scotland as well. A very weak affair by then and it will introduce more cloud. Generally, it is going to be a rather humid night So get a good Night Sleep and lives generally over the mid uncomfortable first thing in the morning. A Weather Front moving in England And North wales and he will gradually bring more stubborn cloud towards the midlands slowing brightening up and slightly over here at 19 degrees, and front of that Weather Front squeezing that warmth down into the Southeast corner. That does mean for day two of the second test that the Weather Front may well bring Some cloud and the Odd Spot of drizzle or two but we not expecting it to cause any significant disruption. As we move into the weekend, the high Pressure Site to build once again and the darker tones push all the way to the country for the second half of the weekend the warmth is going to return and be quite widespread and as we move into saturday, dry lot� s of sunshine coming through, just the risk of a few scattered light showers into the far north of scotland, but generally speaking, a pleasant day and temperatures would be a 25 degrees in the Southeast and that 17 fahrenheit. As we look further ahead, it does look likely that further north you go, we will start to see Some Warmth Warmth returning to the second half of the weekend, but fresher conditions returning to the week ahead and further South, we should keep that dry sunny weather and keep that Warmth Peeking on monday and tuesday, back down to where we should be in terms of the time of year by The End of the week.
