On the final day of his visit to Britain, US president Donald Trump has been meeting the UK prime minister, Keir Starmer, in talks dominated by trade and business deals. The US president has also signed what the UK prime minister says is a "groundbreaking" technology partnership between the two countries. Also in the programme: Thousands more Palestinians are fleeing south in the Gaza Strip, but hundreds of thousands remain in Gaza City; and Australia, one of the world's biggest polluters per capita, will aim to cut its carbon emissions by at least 62% over the next decade.
