BBC sounds music radio podcasts hello.
The NATO summit is underway in Washington as we speak.
Keir Starmer's first big moment on the world stage.
So I thought we would recreate Thursday morning's or preview Thursday morning's 810 slot on the Today programme because Chris Mason is here.
Well, he's there.
Hello, Chris.
Hello.
And also the host of Americast and presenter of the Today programme, Justin Webb is here.
Hello, Justin.
Hello.
So don't mind me as you two just preview what you're going to do on the radio on Thursday morning.
But anyway, let's see what we can discuss with this big moment in the news on this episode of Newscast.
Newscast, newscast from the BBC.
Hello, it's Adam in the studio.
And as I said, chris is in Washington and Justin is down the line.
So Chris, we're recording at eleven minutes past six what is happening at the NATO summit.
How is Prime Minister Keir Starmer doing?
Yeah, hello to you, Adam, from the main press center at the NATO summit here in Washington.
I'm a fairly rare visitor to the United States and to be in Washington in the summer, I've discovered it's quite hot, I mean, particularly when you've flown from the UK, which is well, you know, wet and soggy and feels like February, even though it's July.
And then you arrive in Washington and it's a bit kind of jungley and swampy and you get a sweat on just walking round the block.
