British Prime Minister David Cameron Meets With President Obama

David Cameron is holding talks with US President Barack Obama in Washington, with the BP oil leak, Afghanistan and the global economy on the agenda.

He arrived at the White House, on his first visit as UK prime minister, shortly before 1600 BST. A press conference will take place later.

Mr Cameron told a US newspaper he would be "hard-headed and realistic" about UK-US relations.

The PM will also meet four US senators about the Lockerbie bomber's release.
