In the US, President Biden has criticized the Supreme Court after it said that Donald Trump and other former presidents are partially immune from criminal prosecution. In a message delivered at the White House, Mr. Biden said the nation had been founded on the principle that there were no kings in America, adding that no one was above the law. But he warned with the court's decision that fundamentally changed. Here's our North America correspondent, Peter Bowes.

America's most powerful court and a victory for Donald Trump. It relates to this, the riot in Washington on January sixth, 2021, when the then President is alleged to have encouraged his supporters to invade the Capitol building, all in an effort to overturn Joe Biden's election win.

We fight like hell. And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore.

The Supreme Court has ruled that the President's words on that day, including his social media activity, were all official acts and that he is immune from prosecution. But for any unofficial act in a private capacity, the now former President can still be held criminally responsible for his actions. It'll be up to a lower Court judge to decide which aspects of his behavior are relevant to the trial which is now on hold. In a post on his Truth Social platform, Mr. Trump celebrated the Court's decision. Big win for our Constitution and democracy, he wrote. Proud to be an American. Speaking at the White House, President Biden told a different story.

This nation was founded on the principle that there are no kings in America. Each, each of us is equal before the law. No one, no one is above the law, not even the President of the United States. With today's Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity, that fundamentally changed for all practical purposes. Today's decision almost certainly means that there are virtually no limits on what a President can do.

The Supreme Court 6-3 ruling, split along ideological lines, is a landmark decision and could have far-reaching consequences for future presidents. For Donald Trump, it's almost certain that he'll face no more trials during the election campaign, although the cases haven't completely gone away. Peter Bowes, BBC News.
