To a field in South Africa. Welcome to our viewers on pbs in america and around the globe. The last President Of The United States openly questioned the value of nato� s existence. The current incumbent said if it didnt exist they would have to invent it. President Biden Has delivered a strikingly more friendly tone towards americas allies in this military organisation, towards americas allies in this military organisation, as he attended his first Nato Summit in belgium as president. Our North America Editor Jon Sopel reports. Theres a new sheriff in town, and if nato members could have thrown Rose Petals in front ofjoe biden� s motorcade, they probably would have done. He is resetting the relationship after the hostility of his predecessor. And look at the Body Language the Mock Double take. Hello. There was the hybrid fist come elbow bump, and even a jokey hello with Turkeys President erdogan. Joe biden likes nato, and nato seems to like him. I want to make it clear, nato is critically important for us interests, in and of itself. If there werent one, wed have to invent one, and i just want all of europe to know that the united states is there, the united states is there. Donald trump, on the other hand, questioned the whole idea of collective security, thought america was paying far too much, and wanted to pull the us out of nato. Those arguments are in the rear view mirror, as the trans atlantic Defence Organisation puts its focus on a resurgent china, and its increasingly militaristic stance. We all recognise that chinas heavy investment in military capabilities and continued aggressive behaviour, and growing influence matters for our security, and we need to respond to that together as an alliance. Joe biden sees this trip as a battle of ideas the competition of values between democracy, and autocracy and authoritarianism. While all nato members are happy to sign up to compete against china, theyre very worried that it could tip into confrontation. And then theres russia, where relations are at a low ebb. There seems to be a much greater willingness to confront Vladimir Putin over what hes doing militarily, but also the state and non state actors responsible for Election Interference and ransomware attacks, like The One that crippled the colonial pipeline, supplying fuel to americas east coast. Biden will meet his russian counterpart on wednesday, in geneva. Its not going to be a meeting of minds. Jon sopel, bbc news, brussels. We can now speak to kay bailey hutchison, whos a former us senator and most recently us ambassador to nato. She joins us from dallas, Texas Talk of a resurgent china. Do you think there is a resurgent nato ready to confront china . I do think the Nato Summit was a very positive under that account. I think this was a first step for President Biden to say we need to have a United Front as we deal with china because everyone knows that they steal intellectual property, they violate the rules based border. We all want free and fair competition and i think, if the eu, uk, us, canada, norway, all of Europe And North america can speak with one voice when china does something that is outside that order, such as with australia, that we can make a difference and maybe we will bring china into the rules based audit which would be the best of all worlds which is what i think the president is trying to do. It is interesting you mention australia which of Course Falls Outside nato but for countries within nato, many states recognise that china is also an extremely valuable Trading Partner and that is the difficulty of the balance, isnt it . It difficulty of the balance, isnt it . ,. , isnt it . It is, david. Many of our european isnt it . It is, david. Many of our European Allies isnt it . It is, david. Many of our European Allies do isnt it . It is, david. Many of our European Allies do not i isnt it . It is, david. Many of. Our European Allies do not want to provoke china but i think, and our president suddenly took the message that, if we speak united, together, when china steps out of line in a rules based order, in a fair competition, that maybe we can influence china to come into the World Order and have free and fair competition. Jens stoltenberg and fair competition. Jens stoltenberg said and fair competition. Jens stoltenberg said china and fair competition. Jens stoltenberg said china is not our enemy. It is perceived nonetheless as an adversary . It is certainly building and that is certainly building and that is why i think what nato is doing and has been doing for the last few years, santa china, were not going stand by and watch the south China Sea have militarisation. Saying to china. Attacking india as they did on the northern border,. Harassing the japanese coast. They are doing a lot not to mention Hong Kong a lot that is troubling and we think that it is important that we begin to set up defences so that we can try to create the rules based order but also assure that we will not be overrun militarily or have cyber and hybrid and the other kinds of attacks that we see from russia, frankly. Obviously the issue of from russia, frankly. Obviously the issue of a from russia, frankly. Obviously the issue of a possible the issue of a possible Military Confrontation is another step again but trying to tell china, via nato, to stop behaving the way it is behaving within its own backyard, if i can get that way, is a very tall order. It is but it is a very important to always remember that nato is to always remember that nato is to deter so that we will not have to defend. If we can build out defences so that we will not have to use them, that has always been what nato does. It is a tall order but if we are united in that, which i believe we are getting to that point, i think we have taken a first step but it is certainly not the end of the road, to try to do what is it better for all of us which is bring china in but be prepared if they are on a different track, if they are trying to defeat the kind of government that we have, free democracies, then that is when we have to be prepared. figs democracies, then that is when we have to be prepared. As You Sa , it is we have to be prepared. As You Say. It is a we have to be prepared. As You Say. It is a long we have to be prepared. As You Say, it is a long road we have to be prepared. As You Say, it is a long road ahead. Say, it is a long road ahead. Thank you very much indeed. Thank you very much indeed. Thank you, david. The bbc understands that the british prime Minister Borisjohnson and his australian counterpart, Scott Morrison, have agreed the broad terms of a Trade Deal between the two countries. A formal announcement is expected on tuesday about what would be the first Trade Deal to be negotiated from scratch since the uk left the european union. Our correspondent, Shaimaa Khalil has the latest. I think that we now have the two leaders in the same room, agreeing on the broad terms, as You Say. We are now waiting for this formal announcement and, of course, for these crucial details about how this is going to play out, what it will mean for australian exporters and importers in both countries actually, in australia and the uk. But it is quite significant because i think both leaders will have something big to say in their own countries. The Prime Minister in the uk will say, well, look, this is officially the first Uk Post brexit deal, and Scott Morrison can come here and say, well, we have struck the first deal with the uk, after it has left the eu, but i think it also sets the tone, really, for Trade Deals around The World, after the uk has left the eu, so we are seeing in action in the british economy, if you will, Post Brexit what will look like, how it will change, what kind of deals theyre striking, and also what kind of compromises theyre going to make. For australia, i think it is really good news, of course, especially for the Farming Industry. We have heard, for example, from the head of the australian national Farmers Federation about how difficult it has been over the years to get into the uk market. It has essentially been a market that they have been locked out of, because of eu restrictions, eu tariffs and safeguards, they have really built high gates around the Farming Industry and now, potentially, with these tariffs being eased in a phase between ten and 15 years and again that is very important detail that we are going to try and find out, that then opens up this market but again that presents a challenge to the Farming Community and the Farming Industry in the uk. So good news for australia but still so many questions to answer. I understand they had a dinner which amounted to welsh lamb, Scottish Salmon and australian wine and im sure the Wine Producers will be pleased, given the pressure they have been under not least from china but i did wonder, the farmers over here are anxious that they cannot compete against australian farmers on Economies Of Scale and nor are they happy about the possibility of hormone induced beef, use of pesticides, feed additives, things that are just not allowed over here. Any sign of how this is resolved . We still dont know, what we have heard from officials in the uk is that safeguards are going to be in place but yes, issues for example like hormone injected beef, chlorinated chicken, just lower standards when it comes to agriculture produced in general and of course the Massive Industrial Scale that australia will be able to export to the uk, all of it is a great deal of worry for the uk farmers. We will get more details on that in the hours ahead. The crisis in ethiopia more than 350 Thousand living in Famine Conditions has led to people risking their lives to escape the country. On monday the bodies of 25 african migrants were recovered off the coast of yemen, after the boat they were in capsized. They were heading, it appears, to Saudi Arabia in search of a better life.

Another of these furry forecasters is achilles the cat sitting he predicted poland would beat slovakia in saint petersburg. Unfortunately the slovak won 21. Unfortunately the slovak won 2 1. Perhaps we found Achilles Heel . We do have some results so let me bring those to you. Scotland have their first appearance in 23 years but that endedin appearance in 23 years but that ended in defeat. Two goals from this man, one from the Halfway Line was enough to secure the points for the czech republic. This man scored the winner in Slovakia Surprise when. The third Match Of The Day was nil nil. You are up to date and hello. Monday was a day of contrast. Still hot and humid in london. The temperatures were soaring by the middle of the afternoon, we reached the highest temperatures recorded so far this year and that was 30 celsius in greater london. Now, it was a different story further north and west because of the weak Weather Front that was spilling in across scotland into the north of england. Behind it, the Wind Direction changing to a northwesterly and that brought with it some fresher air and a marked contrast. Look at sundays highs across northern ireland, 25 degrees, the warmest day of the year here. By monday, those temperatures were down quite sharply. It looks as though that fresher feel will continue to be the theme of the weather into tuesday, as well. Starting off with a good deal of dry weather, our weak Weather Front just a band of cloud lingering first thing in the morning but there will be a lot of sunshine coming through in area of low pressure bringing in some rain into Western Fringes of scotland by the middle part of the day and the winds increasing here. So, were looking at around ten to 18 degrees as the overall high but futher South And East 25 is not out of the question. Down a touch, but still that is 77 fahrenheit. That Weather Front that is bringing the rain is going to bring some heavy bursts of rain for a time across scotland overnight, but as we move into wednesday, it will be a fairly weak affair by then as it moves out of the Scottish Border into the north of england and parts of north wales. Behind it well see some sunshine as well, top temperatures of around 1a to 18 degrees ahead of it and starting to drag up more Heat And Humidity once again, 28 degrees not out of the question. And it is this Heat And Humidity which may well trigger off some sharp thundery downpours late on wednesdau towards the end of the working week. Why . Weve got this warm humid air starting to move up from spain and into france and could trigger some sharp thunderstorms moving across the channel. Theres a lot of uncertainty just where these thunderstorms are likely to crop up and so, its Worth Keeping Abreast of the forecast but anywhere across Eastern England could be at risk of real torrential thundery downpours from time to time. Further north and west, a drier and brighter affair on wednesday. Top temperatures down considerably and we are looking at 13 to 22 degrees. This is bbc news. Im david eades. The headlines President Biden has said he will lay down red lines to his russian counterpart in their meeting on wednesday.
