US President Joe Biden and UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson had their first face-to-face meeting yesterday

Johnson says the talks were "terrific" and says the US-UK alliance should be called the "indestructible relationship"

Most of the discussions over the three days will take place behind closed doors

Boris Johnson’s decision to fly to the G7 summit has raised questions over whether it was the most environmentally friendly way of travelling there.So what was the carbon cost of his flight and could he have got to Cornwall in a greener way?Reality Check has been looking at the different ways he could have made the journey and estimated the contribution each would have made to carbon emissions.
