results, not timelines. and even though kabul might be a long way from charlottesville, recent from virginia were clearly on his mum when he said this: loyalty to oui’ mum when he said this: loyalty to our nation demands loyalty to each other. love america requires love for all of its people. when we open oui’ for all of its people. when we open our hearts to patriotism, there is noah rubin for prejudice, no place for bigotry, and no tolerance for hate. and some of his harshest words we re hate. and some of his harshest words were aimed at the pakistani government, whom he accused of harbouring terrorists, while taking billions of dollars in us aid money. he called his new age policy " strategic realism", and summed it up this way: we are not nation-building again. we are killing terrorists. what do his supporters make of the afghanistan u—turn?|j what do his supporters make of the afghanistan u-turn? i think mr trump has received some new information. i am has received some new information. i a m relu cta ntly has received some new information. i am reluctantly going to follow his lead. he has been listening and knows exactly what he needs to do, fiow. knows exactly what he needs to do, now. that is why i am for his decision. i'd like what i am seeing in afghanistan, but i go to reserve judgement until i see the fruits that are going to come out of it. but the fruits right now are that we are wasting money, and we are training terrorists over there. although donald trump has tried to dress this speech up as a significant shift in policy, the most striking thing about it is the sense of continuity with the vile white house. and one other thing: now this major policy announcement has come, this is donald trump is's war in afghanistan, not iraq obama's, not the generals‘ war in afghanistan, not iraq obama's, not the generals'. he now has something he never wanted to buy. jon sopel, bbc news, washington. —— barack obama. the us secretary of state rex tillerson told a news conference that negotiation not military might is the solution in afghanistan. this entire effort is intended to put pressure on the taliban and to have the talent and understand you will not win a battlefield victory. we may not win one, but neither will you. so some point, we need to come to the negotiating table, and bring this to an end. this is a regional approach. and part of the reason this took as long as did is that which is not just this took as long as did is that which is notjust to focus on afghanistan, but we undertook a fairly conference in review of our relationships in pakistan, and our relationships in pakistan, and our relationship with india, and we see this approach as requiring an integration of all three of those strategies. rex tillerson speaking a little earlier today. the government will tell the eu it's "not appropriate" for the european court ofjustice to have directjurisdiction over the uk after brexit in a paper due to be published tomorrow. the document will set out ways trade disputes between the eu and uk could be resolved in the future, but the question of how any agreements will be enforced has already proved contentious in the negotiations. our political correspondent chris mason is in westminster tonight. chris, one suspects brussels will have something to say about the question ofjurisdiction, especially over eu citizens living and working, potentially, in the uk after brexit? yes, clive, this is an essential sticking point in the negotiations that are about to happen between the uk and european union. the question is how disputes will be resolved when the uk is the eu. central to thatis when the uk is the eu. central to that is what is known as the european court ofjustice, in luxembourg, the supreme arbiter of all things eu law. the primus has fought over herself to say that because coming out of the eu, it is not necessary oi’ because coming out of the eu, it is not necessary or appropriate for the court to have any direct jurisdiction over the uk after brexit. —— the prime minister has fought. the key thing here is how much a role it could have in england in the new arrangements with the uk. police have seized on the word " d i rect" police have seized on the word "direct" tonight, saying that indirectly could continue to have a role, which frustrate some. indeed. —— frustrates. more than 70,000 people have signed a petition, calling for the government to spend more on transport outside of london and the south east of england. it emerged earlier this year that more than half of england's annual £32 billion transport budget is spent in london. the former chancellor, george osborne, says a northern powerhouse rail network connecting liverpool to hull, must be established. jon kay has been speaking to passengers travelling between liverpool and manchester to gauge opinions. this train will be calling at manchester victoria, huddersfield... heading across northern england tonight, the 17.10 service from liverpool. on time, but, for some, it's just too slow. yeah, it's terrible, it's absolutely terrible. rona has spent six hours today commuting between yorkshire and merseyside and it's only 70 miles each way. it's a really long day. so for me, i left home at 6:30am this morning and i'll get home at 7:30pm tonight, so that's a very long day. so for my productivity, it impacts me tomorrow because i'm just shattered. while she is recovering, tomorrow the north of england's politicians and business leaders will be holding a summit to discuss building a high—speed link across the region. it could cut the journey from manchester to leeds from 48 minutes to 26, and the 90 minute journey from liverpool to leeds to just one hour. just the section between manchester and leeds across the pennines can cost up to £7 billion, so do rail users think it's worth it? no, no. that's a lot of money. it's not worth that money. what do you think the money should be spent on instead, what would you do with it? spent it on education, spent it on health. it's always been the south, so why not the north for a change? definitely. i don't think it's a big deal getting somewhere ten minutes quicker, really. i think if they're more efficient, on time, better services, cleaner, i think that's more important. with a house on the wirral and a business in newcastle, herb would love a faster line, but he thinks they are cheaper and more realistic ways of getting business moving. to make sure anywhere along any of the northern rails you would never drop a phone call, you would always be able to have high—speed mobile data available to you, ideally wi—fi, but even just ag would be a huge step forward. but raman thinks a new railway is the only solution and would help him expand from the north—east to the north—west. for us, better links towards manchester and liverpool, that would make it easier for us to do business in those regions. it could actually lead to the opening of an office in those regions, because at the minute we are quite restricted, in terms of what we can do in that region. but this could be a long and slow journey. it's about politics as well as the price, and the north of england is not the only region raising its voice and demanding urgent investment in infrastructure. jon kay, bbc news. the former boss of the retail chain bhs, dominic chappell, is to be prosecuted by the pensions regulator, forfailing to provide information to the investigation into its sale. bhs went into administration last year, with 11,000 people losing theirjobs, and the company pension scheme £171 million in the red. you up—to—date with all the news. now it's time to new site. —— newsnight. our troops will fight to win. we will fight to win. fighting talk from president trump over afghanistan. but harsh words too for pakistan, formally a us ally, for harbouring the taliban and other terrorists. how far can he push islamabad? what does the afghanistan announcement tell us about who holds the power in the white house? we speak to the mercenary boss who had hoped for a role in the region. what does he make of the president's plan? grenfell‘s long shadow. more than 600 people are receiving nhs counselling following the tragedy. we'll hear of the slow painful process towards recovering mental health. my children did not know what fear was. she knows what fear is now. my child is priceless and their children are priceless. the government said hs three will happen. representatives of northern cities get together to discuss the plans for london. we'll speak to one of the police officers who dealt with the paddington rail crash in oct 1999. good evening. "we will fight to win." that is now president trump's battle cry for afghanistan, a far cry from his pre—election determination that there should be an american withdrawal from the country. now he has given the pentagon authority to ramp up troop numbers, and greater autonomy to attack the taliban. also in his sights in his fort myer speech was pakistan — with the president calling for islamabad to stop providing safe havens for terrorists. mr trump said pakistan had much to gain from partnering with the international effort in afghanistan and much to lose from harbouring criminals and terrorists.

police searching for him say they believe he may have been the driver of the van which mowed down so many people on thursday in barcelona, killing 13 and injuring 130. from there, james reynolds reports. the king of spain, determined to show that barcelona has nothing to fear. symbols of rule from the capital, madrid, are not always welcome in this, the catalan region, but in the aftermath of

for their lives. the authorities say that they have now broken up the network responsible for the attacks in both barcelona and the coastal town of cambrils. at first investigators believed that one

attack himself. he is currently at large. the authorities have announced greater security at spain's borders and also in places where tourists gather. the new measures come too late for andrew cadman,

group of white nationalists were trying to hold what they called a "free speech rally". the protests followed last weekend's violence in virginia — when a young woman was killed by a car driven at a crowd of anti—racist demonstrators. aleem maqbool reports from boston. crowd chanting: we can't hear you! it was a day of taunting american‘s far—right. this was their so—called ‘free speech‘ rally that after recent violence, many had been worried about. but this was the city‘s response — a massive counter protest of bostonians condemning hate—speech and racism. crawd chanting: the people united will never be defeated! i am outraged. outraged. we have to make a difference. i can't believe in 2017 that we are still marching for rights. when faced with the option to stand and say what is right and wrong, i cannot sit home and keep my views to myself, when there is hate out there. they certainly have the right to speak but we also have the right to congregate and to show that we do not support what they have to say and i think the numbers bear that out today. the two demonstartions — one outnumbering the other by many thousands — were kept apart to prevent trouble, but the far—right demonstrators, often wearing from trump hats, were unapologetic. i‘m a racist. that defiance often angered those around. just one of those so—called free—speech protesters has just come out into the crowd and has had to be escorted by police through this very angry crowd, who have been chanting anti—racism and anti—trump slogans all day. the president has been underfire for failing to unequivocally condemn the far—right activists that protested in charleville, last week. even after a counter—demonstrator, heather heyer, was killed. today, donald trump twitted... there were moments of tensions but, on the whole, the day was peaceful. more about being a huge statement from people here that, whatever their president does, they will come out in their drove to condemn bigotry when they see it. aleem maqbool, bbc news, in boston. let‘s ta ke a look at some of the other stories making the news. the president of nigera, muhamma—du buhari has arrived back home in abuja, after spending the past three months receiving medical treatment in london. mr buhari has had three spells of medical leave since june last year. the 74—year—old is due to address the nation on monday.

more people are missing. attempts continue to dig out more bodies from the debris in the regent district of the city. the authorities are warning of the dangers of water—borne diseases. at least seven people have been stabbed in the russian city of surgut. the attacker was then shot dead by police. investigators say they‘ve identified him as a local man, and they‘re checking for information about his mental health. the white house says president trump and his wife, melania, will not take part in one of america‘s top arts awards. a statement said this would allow the recipients to celebrate

reality. wejoin the man united fan club in baghdad. more now on the attempts by a far—right group to hold a rally in the us city of boston which was thwarted by a massive counter—demonstration. nicci went along to the protests in boston today. thank you forjoining us. you are not going to go, then you did go, what changed your mind?” not going to go, then you did go, what changed your mind? i felt strongly about it. i wanted to see everything that was going on, feel the energy, and it was great. were you at all concerned about what might take place at the event?‘ very small part of me knows that anything is possible, especially after what we saw with charlottesville. after what we saw with cha rlottesville. that after what we saw with charlottesville. that is something, but i wasn‘t too worried about it. i have a lot of faith in more peaceful people being there and the police protecting everyone. there were some scuffles, police have reported a number of arrests is? i didn't see those scuffles, i was not there for that. from what i gather, there were some arrests. with any group, you have people who get so passionate that they forget about the bigger picture, and they can get violent. we have seen that in a lot of different peaceful groups. it is sad because it kind of diminishes the point of why we are doing this. group say that kind he message of the original rally, this was a message about free speech. you don‘t agree that it was just about free speech? you're getting together with a large group of people and waving flags and banners that have swastikas, which are generally associated with genocide. kkk people out there in robes, i don‘t know anybody who associates with them, they are associated with things like hangings and burnings. that is not free—speech to me. when you are preaching something that is harmful towards others and is meant to intimidate, that is not free—speech andi intimidate, that is not free—speech and i don‘t think it should be protected, it needs to be shut down. it's protected, it needs to be shut down. it‘s not right. protected, it needs to be shut down. it's not right. we saw some people having to be escorted through the crowds. what was the mood like? pretty tense? absolutely. you have people that are very passionate, and you‘ve got different levels of that. some people get so passionate that they get angry. some people are there just to be supportive and say nothing. there are different levels. a lot of us understood that the police were just a lot of us understood that the police werejust doing a lot of us understood that the police were just doing theirjobs. protecting these people. it doesn‘t mean they are supporting them or their message. there were a lot of different situation is going on. a lot of different emotions. thank you very much. a british paramedic severely injured while trying to save the life of a woman stabbed in finland on friday has told the bbc he‘s not a hero. hassan zubier said he did his best and no more. i saw the severe injuries she had. i got hold of her artery, stopped the bleeding. but the man came back. he tried to stab me, i kicked him off. he ran away. he came back. and then i felt someone hitting me in the back. people screamed. i was trying to save her life. two women died in what‘s being described as finland‘s first terrorist attack. police say the attacker, who was shot and then arrested, is moroccan. four more moroccan men have been arrested and an international search warrant is out for a fifth. tom donkin has more. in the wake of the dual attacks in spain, another european community is coming to terms with the horror of terrorism. the city of turku, a business and cultural hub on the south—west coast of finland is now calm with quiet remembrance. on friday afternoon, it was the scene of chaos. an 18—year—old man carrying a knife went on a frenzied attack in the city‘s main market square. the moroccan killed two people and injured eight others before police shot him in the leg and made the arrest. authorities have not released the identity of the attacker, who remains in hospital. police believe this was not a random act of violence on the innocent, but a targeted attack on women. the two finnish victims were female as were six of the eight others injured. this is the first ever terror attack in finland‘s history. juha sipila is the first finnish leader who has had to respond to terrorism but his message was familiar. this is the first time we have a terrorist attack in finland. of course, the whole country is sorrowing the situation right now and we are looking for the future anyway, together. and we don‘t give up. while terrorism is new for finland, the authorities are asking the usual questions after an incident like this. did the attacker act alone, or was he part of a wider network? so far, four other moroccan men have been arrested in connection with the attack. an international search warrant is out for a fifth. so, while the interior ministry says nationwide security is being stepped up, the country‘s flags are lowered to half—mast out of respect for the victims. but also, it will remind those here that despite a history of relative peace, terrorism is part of a new reality. the iraqi prime minister has announced the start of an offensive to retake tal afar, one of the last strongholds in iraq of the militant group, islamic state. in a televised broadcast, haider al—abadi said is fighters in the city had a choice between surrender and death. tal afar is said to be surrounded and the iraqi air force has been bombing the city in preparation for a ground assault. this is bbc news, the headlines: spain‘s government says the terror cell behind last week‘s attacks has but the hunt continues for a key suspect several of the men behind the attacks grew up in the small town of ripoll, north of barcelona. most were the children of moroccan immigrants. among them younes abuyaaqoub, now on the run, who as we‘ve heard, may have driven the van in the barcelona attack. our correspondent, wyre davies, has been to ripoll, to speak to people there about the extremists who lived among them. the small chocolate box mountain town of ripoll in the foothills of the spanish pyrenees, the last place you would expect as the breeding ground for a gang of radical islamist militants preparing to commit mayhem and murder. at least seven young men from this small town either died during the attacks or have been arrested since thursday. they include moussa oukabir, said aallaa and mohamed hychami. all three were killed by police in cambrils, on friday morning. also from ripoll is younes abouyaaqoub, who is still on the run. at this small mosque in ripoll, where the boys and young men sometimes prayed, but were by no means the devout, community leaders were almost speechless, distraught by what has happened. we did not really know the boys or what they were up to, says this man who has been in charge of the mosque since the imam left two months ago. they sometimes came to pray, he says, but if we‘d known their plans we would have gone straight to the police. on the main road into town today, armed officers checking cars and lorries as spain hunts down all of those responsible for the attacks in barcelona and cambrils. although the spanish government says the cell that carried out these attack has now been dismantled, little is actually known about this small group of young men, mainly of moroccan descent, who apparently became radicalised and planned their attacks in the most unlikely of places. in the last two days, several suspects and known associates of the attackers have been arrested. the former imam‘s home has been searched and no one left in ripoll, a town where everyone knows everyone, can quite believe it. at the beginning the people in ripoll were shocked, because in a big town, in a big city, it is easy to find isolated communities, but not in a place like ripoll, because most young people participate in many activities. a 22—year—old son of this town is currently the most wanted man in spain. after what he and the others are accused of doing, it will take ripoll years to recover. wyre davies, bbc news. professor stephen hawking, one of the world‘s most famous and foremost scientists, has launched a stinging attack on the government over the nhs. he‘s accused the health secretary jeremy hunt of "cherry picking" evidence to justify the creation of a seven—day nhs. mr hunt has rejected that and accused the nobel—prize winning scientist of spreading falsehoods. sarah cambell reports. professor hawking acknowledged that he would not be here today were it not for the expert care he received at the hands of the nhs, but he is concerned about its future and he did not pull any punches, accusing the health secretary of abusing science, of cherry—picking studies in order to win the argument over whether levels of care at weekends in hospitals are dangerously low. hunt has cherry—picked research. speaking as a scientist, cherry—picking evidence is unacceptable. applause. ..citing some studies but suppressing others to justify policies that they want to implement for other reasons, that debases scientific culture. the issue of a seven—day nhs week has proved toxic in relations between the health secretary and much of the medical profession in england. it was at the heart of many of the recent strikes that led to cancelled operations. responding to the cherry—picking accusation, mr hunt tweeted... jeremy hunt has never shied away from taking on the medical profession and it seems he is not shying away from taking on arguably britain‘s greatest living scientist. stephen hawking expressed concerns over and increasingly privatised nhs. the health secretary tweeted... at the event itself, the tone was much less confrontational. our system of a taxpayerfunded nhs free at the point of use and based not on the ability to pay is a principle we have to fight for and uphold. that point was made clearly. it is something all political parties have committed to. the organisers wanted to spark debate over the future of the nhs. that has certainly happened. sarah campbell, bbc news. the ecuadorian government has sent a strong warning to china about illegal fishing in waters around the galapagos archipelago, a marine reserve. officials say over one hundred chinese flagged boats have been identified in or near to the protected zone. one of the vessels was captured last week, carrying three hundred tonnes of endangered sharks — the crew was arrested. sarah corker‘s report contains some graphic images. this is the chinese flagged vessel suspected of fishing inside the galapagos islands marine reserve. on board there were 300 tons of fish. most of the catch was endangered sharks, including baby sharks and protected species such as hammerheads. on saturday, ecuadorian officials sent this warning. translation: china has been asked to respond translation: china has been asked to respond to this protest regarding the respect of our sovereignty and our exclusive economic zone, and of the conservation principles established in the un convention on the rights of the ocean. the crew members are being held in custody, pending court proceedings. if found guilty, they could face up to three years in prison for environmental crimes. the islands are located in the eastern pacific ocean, more than 900 kilometres off the coast of south america. the unesco world heritage site has been listed because of the diversity of plants and animals found there. shark fin is considered a delicacy in chinese cuisine. they said that that fishing is wiping out endangered species and fuelling illegal trafficking. manchester united boasts followers across the world. iraq, despite its years of war, is no exception and at the official fan club in baghdad, members say football is used as an escape

them. time for a look at the weather. hello again. saturday was another day of sunshine and showers, showers particularly frequent across more northern parts of the uk. in scotland, many of them were heavy and thundery. this is one of the clouds working across the skyline of argyll and bute, a big cumulonimbus cloud working into the scottish highlands. some beautiful pictures there. a few showers left over across north—western scotland, for most, a dry start to day. these kind of temperatures first thing in the morning. our weather today is going to be influenced by this. hurricane gert a few days ago was to the east of the united states, but since then it has moved north, and it has been ripped apart by the strong winds of the jet stream. the moist remains of gert are now racing across the atlantic tied in with this normal area of low pressure. sunday starts off for most of us as a much better day. dry weather, a few showers around. more in the way of morning sunshine. in the afternoon, things clouding over a little bit. some bright weather for most of the uk. towards the south—west, a different story. through the afternoon, gradually seeing the cloud thickening up to bring outbreaks of rain. initially quite light and drizzly, similar in wales. later in the evening, the rain getting a bit heavier. for the midlands, eastern and northern areas of england, dry with some sunshine. probably clouding over in northern ireland. in scotland, far fewer showers. dry weather and light winds, should feel pleasant when that sunshine comes out. sunday night seas the rain turn increasingly heavy. notjust across england and wales but also in northern ireland, later in the night we will see heavier rain arrive. along with that band of rain, turning quite murky with mist and hill fog. rain tied in with this weather front. early in the week it will push north, taking some heavy bursts of rain with it. allowing some warmer air into the south of the uk. the warmer air is behind this front. a cloudy start with some damp conditions and hill fog, it may stay wet in northern ireland for a chunk of the day. rain crossing into northern england, central and southern scotland but probably not reaching the far north of scotland. increasingly humid in the south. not much in the way of sunshine but temperatures still in the low 20s. although tuesday starts cloudy, if we do see some sunshine breaking through the cloud in the south of england, temperatures could reach around 27 celsius. after weeks of looking for it, i finally found some warm august weather. this is bbc news — the headlines. the spanish government says the terror cell behind the recent attacks there has now been broken up. but a police manhunt continues for the driver of the van which killed 13

with hundreds of bodies thought to be still trapped under the debris. our diplomatic correspondent james robbins reports. snatched video on a mobile phone shows a torrent of mud and water carrying away everything in its path. this driver risked his life, on a bridge all but overwhelmed by the flash—floods. freetown is an overcrowded coastal city, with few defences against heavy rains. they come every year, but not usually with quite such ferocity. about 250 bodies have been recovered so far. the authorities fear there could be many more trapped in the ruins of houses. the bbc‘s umaru fofana is there. i went down to the spot myself, and you could see people using their bare hands, pulling up corpses from beneath the mud. the road itself to the disaster area is almost impassable, massive rocks. and this area, called mount sugarloaf, caved in in the early hours of this morning, and it's covered literally dozens of houses, and hundreds of people, according to the country's vice president who just spoke to me, are feared dead under the rubble. there are some ambulances parked here, but it is now a recovery mission instead of a rescue mission. many victims lived in the flimsiest of homes, little more than shacks, often on unprotected hillsides. a british charity has been helping to build far stronger houses, and its head, back in britain, explained today how it is the poorest in sierra leone who are often the most defenceless. people build houses all up the sides of cliffs, and they often build them with inadequate materials, because generally people are unbelievably poor. people are trying to reclaim land from the sea, and then the water just comes and wipes them away. six out of ten people in sierra leone live below the poverty line. survivors often risk everything to salvage a few possessions, trying to hang on to whatever they can, despite the rising waters. james robbins, bbc news. president ernest bai koroma said in a televised address that an emergency response centre had been set up to deal with what he called a national tragedy. iam very i am very distraught by this national tragedy, and with a heavy heart, let me extend profound

on murder charges, after a car ploughed into anti—racism protesters. oh, my god. people are badly hurt. oh, my god, badly hurt. the president's "everyone's to blame" response, and silence until now, lit a firestorm of criticism. so why has donald trump been so unusually tongue—tied over this? while the number of fully paid—up white supremacists may be small, the number who have sympathies is probably far larger, and they were among the most vociferous supporters of him last november. certainly his surrogates have condemned the far—right, but donald trump reluctantly so. today, 48 hours on, a dramatic shift in language from the embattled president. he sounded tense. there was no freewheeling, as he gripped the lectern, and gripped every word on the autocue, his eyes barely moving. racism is evil, and those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the kkk, neo—nazis, white supremacists, and other hate groups, that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as americans. we are a nation founded on the truth that all of us are created equal. we are equal in the eyes of our creator, we are equal under the law, and we are equal under our constitution. while he said the right things today, i look and say did that come from his heart or did that come from his staff telling him what they think he should say? this man is a senior adviser to george w bush, and is now a republican strategist. has the republican repair the damage? no, certainly not for people like me. people who look at his actions, and his words and deeds, and say he didn't go far enough. he didn't measure, frankly, the sensitivity of what was happening in charlottesville, virginia, and rise to the occasion. but this was too little, too late for ken frazier. today, the boss of one of america's biggest pharmaceutical companies resigned from the president's industry forum, saying... within minutes, donald trump fired back at this prominent african—american. mr president, can you explain why you did not condemn those hate groups by name over the weekend? they've been condemned. they have been condemned. donald trump has bent to criticism, something that has not happened often. but why it has taken him two days to name these groups, well, that question still hangs. jon sopel, bbc news, washington. let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news: prosecutors in france have ruled out a terrorist motive after a man drove a car into a pizza restaurant in a paris suburb. a teenage girl was killed and eight other people injured, five of them seriously. the incident happened to the east of paris, in the village of sept—sorts, in the seine—et—marne region. pro—government supporters in venezuela have been holding a rally after president trump's assertion that he hadn't ruled out military intervention there. the country's president, nicolas maduro, announced nationwide civic and military exercises for later this month. during a visit to colombia, the us vice president, mike pence, said he hoped a peaceful solution would be found to the crisis in venezuela. the british man credited with stopping hackers from spreading the wannacry computer virus has himself appeared in court in america on unrelated hacking charges. marcus hutchins denied writing and distributing code which could help steal banking details. he was released on bail, and will be allowed to continue his cyber security work while living in los angeles. state media in north korea says the country's leader, kim jong—un, has received a full briefing from the army on a plan to launch missiles near the us pacific territory of guam. but the official state news agency said mr kim would keep watching american actions for a time before deciding whether to order any launch. earlier the american defence secretary, james mattis, warned that he would authorise the shooting down of any missiles fired by pyongyang that threatened guam. we can speak now to our correspondent in seoul, yogita limaye. how is all of this looking right now from there? well, in fact we are just about to hear the presidents speak. he is making an address today on the occasion of liberation day, which is being celebrated in south korea but will also be celebrated in north korea. it is a joint holiday between the two countries, the way they were liberated from occupation. the president has been trying to minimise the situation. he says he doesn't want war on the korean peninsula, he wants a peaceful resolution to the situation. he also met with america's highest ranked general, generaljozsef dunford, and during that conversation general dunford assured him that diplomatic and economic pressure was being put on north korea, and military action would only be used of those options failed. generaljames mattis has been talking fairly unequivocally of war, hasn't he? saying should a north korean missile hit us soil, including guam, that would constitute an act of war. is there wiggle room there? because the missiles, we are being told, are aimed around guam. well, yes. i mean, james mattis saying that if north korea strikes the us than they will certainly be war. if you look at what north korea has said in a statement that has been put up their official newsagency today, that is saying that for now, kim jong—un will watch the situation, will give a little more time to the us, and see how it is conducting itself, and then will decide whether or not to execute the plan. and the plan, as you pointed out earlier this week when it was put out, very clearly said that the plan was to fire four missiles at the waters around guam. it does seem like sharpening rhetoric at this point. you know, a nalyst rhetoric at this point. you know, analyst i have spoken to say they don't believe that either side will act on their threats. but, you know, perhaps because we have heard such fierce statements also coming from the us this time around, what has happened is that tensions are higher in this region than they perhaps have been in recent times. thank you very much. gunmen have attacked a un peacekeeping base in northern mali, killing seven people. the base in the city of timbuktu was attacked by unknown men armed with machine—guns, according to a un spokesperson. four of the gunmen were reportedly killed in the assault. in a separate incident, a un

we were waiting outside for the driver to come and pick us up, and then we heard the shootings. after that, i didn't see anything. translation: at the beginning, we thought that it was a robbery. but then we realised that it was more than that. some people were telling guests that they were robbed, and then thrown out. and then we saw the events. it is worse than we thought. when waiting to see when they would be the start of the assault. after firing on the diners, the gunman ran inside the restaurant. they held a hostages and return fire through the night. it happened just a few hundred yards from where al qaeda militants killed a people using similar methods in 2015. a government spokesman said the attack was terror related. president marc christian kabore called upon burkina faso residents to unite against terrorism. questions will be asked about how the attack could have been allowed to have happened, just 18 months after the last one. stay with us on bbc news. still to come:

india is marking independence from britain, one day after pakistan held its own celebrations. with the end of colonial rule, partition was marred by bloodshed: hundreds of thousands died, millions were displaced. reeta chakrabarti has been speaking to one family in the indian city of amritsar about how partition affected them, and what they feel about india today. i almost refused the invitation. remembering happy times, but this family lived through trauma. dr singh and his wife fled pakistan as children, but the events have gone largely undiscussed. unfortunately my generation has not brought much to the younger generation, my children and grandchildren, about the partition. it is high time that this came out. we made the mistake, but history should not. he feels it may not be what the country's founding fathers had hoped for. it is not what should be. sometimes you feel that things are not what you wanted, what they wanted. for their grandson, india has an exciting future. in the coming decade, india is going to be the place to be, because there is so much technology coming up. but at the same time, culturally, there is a bit of a decline, largely due to censorship. pakistani tv programmes are now barred. his cousin wants to know more about partition to understand why the countries remain such suspicious neighbours. i have never felt the tension between india and pakistan. i have met pakistanis when i have travelled in the us and london, and other areas. and we got along perfectly well. but those meetings happened abroad, and he has never been to pakistan, just a few kilometres away. the effects of partition are still felt strongly today, even for young people, for whom it is just history. and we'll have a special series of features,

informant that he wanted to cripple the american government and start a revolution. it's claimed he tried to detonate a huge truck bomb outside a bank in oklahoma city just after midnight on saturday. the plan apparently failed because the fake bomb had been supplied by an undercover fbi agent. a verdict has been reached in the court case between an american dj and the us singer taylor swift. jurors at a federal court in denver agreed that david mueller had groped her at an event in 2013. we can talk now to the bbc‘s peter bowes in los angeles for more on this. tell us more. this goes back to 2013. the dj that taylor swift met ata 2013. the dj that taylor swift met at a photo shoot, that is where she said she was assaulted. it all started with him is suing her because he said he had been sacked from hisjob as because he said he had been sacked from his job as a result of essentially, the actions of a mother and manager, who had gone to the radio station to report what had happened. he said it was his dream job and she had ruined his career. she countersued, and his part of the lawsuit was thrown out last week by a judge who said that a connection could not be made between taylor swift's actions and him losing his job. she then allocated that she was sexually assaulted and the jury agreed. he was ordered to pay $1 in damages, a token amount. it is what she had asked for because this was never really, for her, about money. and she will be giving the money to charity. david mueller‘s council has been shared very widely on social media? yes, taylor swift was very stoic. she described the assault in quite detailed terms. she has made it very clear, since the verdict, she has released a statement explaining her motives about why she did this. noticeably, part of her statement is, i acknowledge the privilege that i benefit from in life and society, and my ability to show the enormous cost of defending myself in a trial like this. my hope is to help those whose voices should also be heard. she also pledges to make some donations to various charities helping women fight cases like this. thank you very much. in the wake of the weekend violence in

be the longest period its been silenced for since it first chimed in 1859. but big ben will still be heard during important national events such as new year's eve and remembrance sunday. our political correspondent leila natthoo reports. big ben chimes the hour. these chimes have filled the westminster air for more than a century and a half, but soon, a four—year pause, as the great bell, big ben, is silenced, so crucial repairs can be carried out. if you can imagine running your car for 160 years nonstop, 2a hours a day, it will need looking at, so that is what we are doing. we will be able to at this time, because it is such a long stoppage period, check absolutely everything on the clock. chimes. it is still working, which is good. still ticking, for now, but the clock mechanism needs attention. it is connected to the hammers that strike the bells. piece by piece, it will be dismantled. the parts cleaned and restored. and because the whole tower is being renovated, too, the construction workers cannot be subjected to the regular ringing. loud chimes. it's deafening to be at this close range without these protective earphones on. but from next monday, big ben and all the four smaller quarter bells will get a rest, depriving westminster of its familiar soundtrack. repairs on the tower have already started and soon, the scaffolding will encase it entirely. not quite the same sight to come and see. big ben is big ben, and people want to see big ben — not half a ben, a full ben. that would definitely be a bummer, for sure, to come all the way here and not to be able to see it. but you have to look at the advantages. if we are going to secure the tower for the future, forfuture generations, that far outweighs the inconvenience of having scaffolding up to two or three years. big ben will still be able to herald special events like the new year and remembrance sunday, but in the long break from its constant ringing, a strange silence will descend here, in the absence of its reassuring sound. leila natthoo, bbc news, westminster. and just before we go, a lioness who was rescued from a zoo in aleppo in syria has given birth just hours after arriving at a wildlife park injordan. dana was transported to a reserve with four other lions, two bears and two tigers on a three month trip via turkey. staff found this newborn cub in dana's cage on saturday. they've named her hajar which means fled in arabic. and you can get in touch with me and most of the team on twitter, a reminder of our top story. the number of people killed by mudslides in sierra leone has risen to over 300. it is feared that many more bodies are still trapped under the debris. many people have lost their homes, the red cross estimates about 3000. it has been described as a national tragedy. well, tuesday's looking pretty good across most of the uk. the rest of the week, however, overall is still looking rather changeable. and actually as we head into the weekend, it looks pretty blustery as well. this is a gloomy picture from yesterday. tuesday is going to be a lot sunnier across this part of the world. this is the satellite picture, from the last 12 hours or so. we had some rain sweeping across many western and northern areas. really quite heavy rain in some areas, and towards the early hours of tuesday morning, there still could be some heavier rain around across the far, far north—east of the country and possibly the far south—east as well, and maybe even a clap of thunder. the start to the day is a relatively mild one. 14,16 degrees, even up to 17 during the rush hour across the south. and really, it is starting pretty nice nad bright across most areas. there are a few showers around, here and there, but on balance, fine start for the south—east, the midlands, wales, a couple of showers there, around the lake district. maybe a few dotted around in northern ireland and western scotland, but on the whole, a nice start to the day. here's that overnight rain moving away towards the north—east, off the edge of the screen, good riddance. as far as tuesday morning, and the second half of the morning and the afternoon is concerned, showers are actually going to be brewing inland. not a completely dry day. take an umbrella if you are out for any lengthy period of time. sunny spells, plenty of them, yes, and feeling quite warm, but there will be showers breaking out. how are we doing compared to the rest of europe? well, london will be warming up to 2a degrees, we're on a par with paris, but some storms around here. similar to warsaw and moscow. hotting up across spain and portugal, and in italy and rome, there, temperatures up to around 35 degrees celsius. anyway, back home, tuesday into wednesday, there will be a ridge of high pressure. high pressure usually means fine weather. so for many parts of england, i think, and eastern scotland, wednesday morning and afternoon is looking fine. but you can't miss this. this is the next low pressure, next weather front moving in during wednesday morning and afternoon. so the weather will go downhill in belfast, in glasgow, around the irish sea, liverpool, western wales, and down into cornwall. but london is looking fine. temperatures could even be a little bit higher than 23 degrees celsius. but that rain will move through during the course of wednesday into thursday. and then it's a fresher day for most of us on thursday. slightly brisker winds, with some showers. still temperatures getting up to around 2a degrees. i say fresher because the winds will pick up. and then by friday, really quite blustery with sunshine and showers. this is bbc news, the headlines: the number of people killed by mudslides and flooding in sierra leone has risen to over 300. it's feared that many more bodies are still trapped under the debris. the red cross says around 3,000 people have lost their homes. president koroma called it a national tragedy. after two days of mounting pressure following the fatal attack by a white supremacist on anti—racism protestors in the city of charlottesville, president trump has condemned race hate groups. in a news conference, mr trump described the ku klux klan, neo—nazis and others as thugs and criminals. state media in north korea say the country's leader, kim jong—un, has received a full briefing from the army on a plan to launch missiles near the us pacific territory of guam. but it said mr kim would keep watching american actions for a time before deciding whether to order any launch. now on bbc news, it's time for

tonight at six: a damning report accuses royal bank of scotland of the systematic abuse of its business customers. a leaked report shows that hundreds of the banks‘ business customers complained they were mistreated, one man tells us he considered suicide. it was like the gestapo walking in, the aggression, the divisiveness, the whole way in which they'd talked. rbs, the biggest lender to companies in the uk, denies the allegations. we'll be asking what more can be done to protect customers? also on the programme: convoys of lorries, linked by wi—fi, with only one driver, they'll be

they were small businesses that found themselves in need of help during the financial crisis almost a decade ago. but instead of helping them their bank, royal bank of scotland — which itself had to be bailed out — has been accused of systematic abuse of its customers. a leaked report by the financial conduct authority, seen by the bbc, says it mistreated almost all of its customers with 92% of viable firms experiencing "some form of inappropriate action" by the bank. one small business owner has told the bbc he considered suicide. rbs denies the allegations. here's our business correspondent, joe lynam. it's britain's biggest lender to businesses, it's customers are the backbone of our economy, but a major report has highlighted the scale of mistreatment faced by some at the hands of rbs. we opened in december 98... this man used to own bowling complexes and was an rbs for deck decades. when when profits fell during the recession, his bowling bigs was placed into the restructuring unit, supposedly to get the company back on its feet. restructuring unit, supposedly to get the company back on its feetm was like the gestapo walking in. the aggression, the divisiveness, the whole way in which they'd talked. they would bang tables, shout, point fingers. the whole thing was, like, they weren't in anyway here to help us they weren't in anyway here to help us through a difficult time. they we re us through a difficult time. they were trying to sub gentleman indicate us. they loaded additional debt on the company and they had to surrender 80% of the company. debt on the company and they had to surrender 80% of the companylj debt on the company and they had to surrender 80% of the company. i was referred to a counsellor for treatment and prescribed antidepressants and i became suicidal. he is suing rbs for breach of duty and conspiracy. rbs said that the case was currently the subject of litigation and that the bank would be vigorously defending these claims. hundreds of rbs customers had long complained of mistreatment, so the financial conduct authority commissioned an independent report which it received last year, but only published a limited summary of. now the bbc has acquired the full report and it highlights the extent of the widespread inapolicewomaniate treatment faced by rbs‘ own customers some of which was systematic or orchestrated from within the bank. crucially for rbs, the report said the bank had shown narrow compliance with the investigation instead of co—operating fully as it said it had. the report for the financial conduct authority found that 92% of viable or otherwise healthy companies experienced some form of inappropriate action by rbs, such as hiking up lending costs and fees unnecessarily. only 10% of those companies placed by rbs into grg returned intact to the main bank. many of the rest were sold off, forced to hand over substantial sta kes to forced to hand over substantial stakes to rbs or liquidated. in the ied idst of reare reseeings they we re ied idst of reare reseeings they were earning £i.2 ied idst of reare reseeings they were earning £1.2 billion for rbs. the bank said they had not handled complaints well and put in new complaints well and put in new complaints process overseen by a retired high court judge. complaints process overseen by a retired high courtjudge. the issue of mistreatment has been examined by mps who urged the financial conduct authority to pub publish the full report. they forced lots of companies who that could have survived and back into health, they went out of business because they we re went out of business because they were mistreated because the bank wa nted were mistreated because the bank wanted to make a profit out of them. we have to learn that lesson. the financial conduct authority said: for the bank, which is 73% owned by uk taxpayers, this is yet another obstacle uk taxpayers, this is yet another o bsta cle o n uk taxpayers, this is yet another obstacle on the road to full health. being accused of wholesale mistreatment of its own customers may delay that rehabilitation. joe is here now. the mesh you spoke to felt suicidal what more can be done to protect customers like him? the fca admits that in this report there may be regulatory gaps in what it can do if a company is mistreated by its bank. if it has the power it will act. so if you are a former rbs business customer and you feel as if you may have been mistreated by the bank's he rerestruring division, grg, the first port of call is the compensation scheme, overseen by a retired high court judge. compensation scheme, overseen by a retired high courtjudge. i think the is pretty keen though to put this latest chapter in its checkered cv behind it. thank you. semi—automated, self—driving lorries will be tested out on our roads from next year. the trucks will be connected wirelessly with up to three lorries travelling in convoy. the technology has already been tested elsewhere in europe and the united states. the government says it will mean cheaper fuel bills, lower emissions and less congestion. our correspondent, richard lister, looks at how it will work. this could be the future, the driver in the second lorry is only steering, his speed is controlled by a computer, which is monitoring what the lead driver does. it's called "platooning". these dutch trials suggest lorries, linked by wi—fi like this, can drive much closer together, and that may have benefits. 10% fuel savings. that means 10% less fuel, that's money off yours and my shopping bills. the goods in shops will go down. it's 10% less c02, so we're going to be really helping the planet. congestion, if we get platooning, vehicles are running smoother together, we're not going to get the trafficjams we have together. —— today. and finally, safety. we're going have robots and sensors not making mistakes hopefully that you and i are making every day. this is one of the specially equipped lorries that'll take part in the british trials — first on test tracks and then, in 2019, on the motorway network. this technology is moving fast, some cars can already steer themselves too. the haulage industry wants to catch up. so the big question is, do sophisticated lorries like this need people at all? well, the short answer is, yes, most british roads are too small and too complex for mighty road trains, but vehicles like this could revolutionise long distance haulage. so daniel, what we're going to do now, is jump into the vehicle and then we'll pull forward and start the exercise. les is training the next generation of lorry drivers here in slough. daniel's almost ready to take his test, neither is keen on sharing the driver's seat with a computer. if a driver sees something is wrong, they can deal with it, but if a machine breaks down, which is my main concern, wi—fi connections, what if that breaks down? i really don't think it's a good idea. we should be fully in control of the vehicles we're driving, there's other road users and you have to account for all these things, all these factors all the time, when your driving these size vehicles. the british trials will have three lorries in a platoon, but even that, say some, is too many. uk motorways are the most congested in europe, we have more entrances and exits and if you've got a platoon of driverless lorries, it's very difficult to see road signs. it'll be difficult to exit the motorway. but with several countries now testing this technology, it looks like it is coming and the uk will have to decide if it wants it. richard lister, bbc news. at least 28 people have been killed in clashes in india after a controversial self—styled religious leader was convicted of rape. violent protests have broken out in the states of punjab and haryana, which includes the home town of gurmeet ram rahim singh. thousands of his devotees went on the rampage after he was found guilty of raping two women, 15 years ago. there are also reports of arson attacks in the capital, delhi. from there our south asia correspondent, justin rowlatt, reports. violence broke out almost as soon as the guilty verdict was handed down by the court in this town in north india. more than 100,000 followers of the self—styled godman guru, had blocked to demonstrate their support. they went on the rampage, burning cars and attacking the police, who responded with tear—gas and water cannon. when they didn't subdue the crowd, they fired live ammunition. and there have been clashes elsewhere, too. this train was torched by an angry mob here in the indian capital, delhi. elsewhere in the city, buses have been set on fire. the guru has an absolutely enormous following. he estimates 50 million people and the fear is, that violence could spread in north india. gurmeet ram rahim singh is a charismatic figure. he calls himself the messenger of god, sports a huge beard and has a taste for enormous motor cycles. he has been dubbed "the baba of bling", and stars in his own movies and pop videos and, despite his extraordinary appearance, he's regarded as a living saint by many of his followers. this is the latest in a series of scandals here in india, involving those who claim exceptional spiritual powers. guru ram rahim says his sect is a social welfare and spiritual group, but he's been accused of involvement in murder and it is also claimed he persuaded 400 of his acolytes to have themselves castrated in order to get closer to god. it's that kind of devotion that explains the scale and intensity of the violence here in north india and also why the authorities are so concerned about it spreading. justin rowlatt, bbc news, delhi. a pakistani man who is suspected of being an international drugs dealer has been arrested in north london. muhammad asif hafeez is wanted in america for importing heroin and methamphetamine. known as ‘the sultan', he's thought to run a global drug production and distribution network. a former rock star, who's beenjailed for multiple cases of child abuse, could have been caught years earlier if the police had investigated him properly. ian watkins, the lead singer of the band lost prophets, was sentenced to 29 years in prison, four years ago. but an investigation by the independent police complaints commission found that south wales police missed a series of opportunities to stop him. our wales correspondent, sian lloyd, reports. a rock star and a hero to his fans across the world, but in private ian watkins was a paedophile, his behaviour was described as "having plumbed the depths of depravity." his sexual interest in children was reported by his former girlfriend. watkins had sent indecent images tojoanne mjadzelics' mobile phone, but when she took it to the police, her allegations were not followed up. the police watchdog, the independent police complaints commission, has found officers' bias against her meant watkins was able to carry on abusing children. joanne mjadzelics spoke today of the toll it's all taken. she said: south wales police didn't begin investigating ian watkins until four years after they were tipped off that he was a danger to children. he was arrested during a drugs raid at his home here, in pontypridd. what they then found on his mobile phones and computers showed that those earlier warnings should have been acted on. in all, six people made complaints about watkins, none were followed up. south wales police missed opportunity after opportunity to bring him in for questioning, to arrest him or to bring him tojustice. the force says it's truly sorry for its failings and has introduced wide scale changes. the ipcc has also criticised south yorkshire and bedford police over inaction in investigating watkins. the singer manipulated fans to get access to his victims, the extent of his abuse may never be known. sian lloyd, bbc news. our top story this evening: a damning report accuses royal bank of scotland of the systematic abuse of its business customers. and coming up, i'm live in las vegas with the build—up to this

everybody talking. the stage is set in las vegas for a record breaking bout. the great bank holiday getaway is on and there are more problems than usual. major engineering work on the railways is expected to add to the disruption. london's euston station — one of the main lines into and out of the capital — will be completely closed over the weekend. there's also disruption on routes serving london bridge, london liverpool street, cardiff and bristol. adina campbell is at euston station and dan whitworth is on the m6 motorway near knutsford. deli. well, you only have to look behind me to see just how busy it is here at euston station tonight. hundreds of people packed out under those information boards, hoping to get to where they need to be over the bank holiday weaning. this, of course, because of this major enfwleerg project which starts tomorrow. it'll close euston station for two days, it is a multi—million pound project costing more than £130 million, involving 17,000 engineers. they will be extending platforms it make way for longer trains and also making improvements to signalling and tracks, as well as preparation for hs2. this will mean major disruption for passengers up and down the country, including the midlands, wales and the north of england. network rail says it has to do this work because it is the perfect time to do it because 50% fewer passengers use the railways during this time of year. the advice — check before you travel and plan your journey. well, of course all those engineering works will have a income—on effect on the road network. the rac is forecasting monday will be the busiest day with 5 million cars expected on the network. the m60, the m1, the m62 will all still be affected by roadworks. at the m6, it is flowing freely now but has been at a standstill for much of the afternoon, affected by roadworks, despite the highways agency moving around about a50 miles worth of roadworks to ease the pressure on the network. other pinchpoints, the m5 in the south—west. all routes in and out of the lake district and the m1 and m3 motorways heading out of london. like adina said, if you are thinking on getting on the roads, check before you travel, plan your route and if you have one of these, then you probably do, search bbc august bank holiday travel. you will have all the information you need at your fingertips. have all the information you need at yourfingertips. thank have all the information you need at your fingertips. thank you have all the information you need at yourfingertips. thank you both. an aristocrat who was jailed for making threatening comments online about the anti—brexit campaigner, gina miller, has abandoned an appeal against his sentence. rhodri philipps was sentenced last month for suggesting on social media that he would pay people to harm the ms miller. phillips was told by the court that his sentence could be increased if he went ahead with his appeal. lung disease is expected to be one of main causes of death in the uk by 2020. the condition is particularly prominent in former mining areas but it's notjust former miners who are being diagnosed with breathing difficulties. in the second of our reports on former mining towns in the north of england, our disability affairs correspondent, nikki fox, has been to a specialist clinic in rotherham which is treating some of those most affected. the relentless struggle to breathe. patients at this specialist centre all have some kind of lung condition, an occupational hazard for those who worked in the coal mining industry. how are you this morning? i'm a lot better. yeah, you're looking a lot better. yes. so the combination of coal dust and smoking was never a good one. no. but hindsight is a great thing, isn't it? yeah. many of the patients here would've ended up in a&e. i couldn't breathe. i was coughing so much, i couldn't inhale. in rotherham, the number of people with lung disease is higher than the national average. deep breath and steady blow. demi—leigh has a chronic lung condition, exacerbated by smoking from the age of 12. my mum smoked and my dad smoked. it seemed like everybody were doing it, so i wanted to do it. she gave up cigarettes when she was diagnosed but has spented much of her life in and out of hospital. she's just 21. even though i am an adult, i still feel like i'm not grown up, because i can't go out to work every day. that gets to me quite a lot. if i'm like this at 21, what am i going to be like when i'm at 60? the kind of industrial legacy of areas like rotherham means that young people have been brought up sometimes in conditions and exposed to an environment which doesn't give them the best chances for lung health. so that could be poor nutrition, it could be poor housing. this clinic opened ten years ago and in that period not only has it helped cut hospital admissions, it's also reduced the number of deaths from industrial—related lung disease. will, who was a former miner, came here when it first opened. the staff helped him get fit for his double lung transplant. do you think that they were responsible for saving you? totally responsible, yeah. i wouldn't have seen my granddaughter, who's two—and—a—half now. you know, walking my daughter down the aisle. everything. willis now able to piece his life back together, thanks to the centre. and the demand is great, with other miners looking for that specialist support. there are plans for more clinics so many others, young and old, can get the treatment they desperately need. nikki fox, bbc news, rotherham. the countdown is on in las vegas for what could prove to be the boxing match that breaks all records. the american boxer, floyd mayweather, has had a9 fights during his professional career and he's never been beaten. now he's come out of retirement to take on the mixed martial artist, ireland's conor mcgregor. it's a pay—per—view match and it could rake in £550 million. £175 million — that's how much floyd mayweather could earn. connor mcgregor would have to make do with around £60 million. and it's all happneing in las vegas on saturday night, or rather the early hours of sunday morning here. richard conway is there for us now. sophie, in a city full of stars, connor mcgregor and floyd mayweather will outshine all the big name performers here on the las vegas strip this weekend. this mega fight is not without its critics or controversies. without that, thousands are flocking in to watch in person, millions will watch on tv at home. to them it is an exciting and intriguing clash of styles and anticipation is building ahead of fight night. on face value, it is an unlikely match up. floyd mayweather, one of boxing's all—time greats will, this weekend, step into the ring with connor mcgregor, the 29—year—old dubliner who has never boxed professionally. most experts give him little chance of victory. but then this is las vegas, where the bright lights act as a beacon for those hungry to make their fame and fortune. exact figures are hard to pin down, but both men are expected to earn tens of millions of dollars in the most lucrative boxing match ever staged. what will the impact for boxing if you were to win? there will be a new king and that's it. there will be a new king. they'll begin to study my methods. they'll begin to implement my methods and that's it. i will reign supreme. mcgregor, ornately tattooed and nicknamed the notorious is already a star of the ultimate fighting championship, in which competitors use a brutal mix of martial arts. claiming unemployment benefit four years ago, he's had a meteoric rise and a shock win on saturday would see him propelled to a whole new level of global recognition. his opponent, meanwhile, insists this fight will be his last. at the age of a0, an undefeated floyd money mayweather wants to exit with one final mega pay day. i'm not the same fighter i was 21 years ago but, like i said before — mentally, no athlete is stronger than me, mentally. the usual hype and hoopla in the build—up to the first bell has, however, crossed several lines. last month's publicity tour was tarnished by homophobic slurs, allegations of racism and pantomime behaviour, with both men now admitting they made mistakes. such behaviour, though, has not prevented thousands of fans from flocking to las vegas, or millions around the world are purchasing the fight to watch on tv. connor mcgregor may never have fought professionally but he is being greeted here as if he was the champion. floyd mayweather, in this his home town, is being seen as very much the outsider and mcgregor the man that the crowd here want to see win. but one former champion, who has fought and lost to mayweather, has concerns. i think genuine boxing fans and ufc fans probably feel a little bit like i'm feeling, that it's a little bit — it's making a little bit of a farce of our sports. what happens in vegas, should, according to the old saying, stay here. not with this fight. richard conway, bbc news, las vegas. finally, a major storm — named hurricane harvey — is on its way to the us mainland, threatening lives on the texas coast. thousands of residents are battening down their homes and mandatory evacuations are in place. up to 35 inches of rainfall and sustained winds of 110mph are expected over the next few days. ben richards is here with the weather. how is it looking, is it as bad as they bad as weather. how is it looking, is it as bad as they fear there? they are right to be making the preparations for this storm. it is a major hurricane, you can see it on the sat slight hurtling towards the coastline of texas and the utter rain bands of the storm making contact with the land. —— the outer rain bands. the winds will be a feature, they will have an impact, a storm surge that will inundate coastal surge with flooding. the rain will be the main feature, 900 millimetres of rain in places, more than we get in the uk in a whole year, which could cause catastrophic flooding. here in the uk, things are obviously quieter than that. some rain in some places but for many, dry, warm with sunshine and the weekend not looking too bad. spells of warm sunshine and a few showers particularly in the north. showers continue across northern ireland for a time this evening, also across scotla nd a time this evening, also across scotland and northern england. further south largely dry with clear spells, perhaps the odd fog patch and temperatures around 12—16. into tomorrow, actually a lot of fine weather around, with some spells of sunshine. there will be showers, too, particularly for north—east england and eastern scotland where some of the showers could be heavy and under thisry at times. northern ireland having a much —— thundery at times. northern ireland having a drier day than of late and temperatures up to 18 or 19. further south and east, in the sunshine we could get up to 25. for sunday another fine day for the most part. good spells of sunshine. perhaps damp weather into the far north—west of scotland. those temp tu, a bit of a range, around 18 or 19 in glasgow and belfast but 2a, 25 in the south—east. split fortunes into monday. a bank holiday for many. we will see lots of sunshine across england and wales. for northern ireland and scotland thicker cloud, outbreaks of rain, increasingly blustery. temperatures here around 17 to 19. as we look towards the south—east, 27 or 28 is possible. given it is a bank holiday weekend for most, not looking too bad. summer at last. a reminder of you are a main story this evening: a damning report accuses royal bank of scotland of the systematic abuse accuses royal bank of scotland of the systematic abuse of its business customers. that's all from the bbc news at six, so it's goodbye from me this is bbc news, the headlines. a leaked report accuses royal bank of scotland of the systematic abuse of its business customers — hundreds of customers complained they were mistreated. rbs denies the accusations. travel delays are expected over the bank holiday weekend as engineering and roadworks take place on some of the country's busiest routes. the police watchdog has said that the paedophile ian watkins could have been arrested nearly four years earlier if south wales police had investigated numerous tip—offs. at least 28 people have been killed in violent clashes following the rape conviction of a controversial religious leader in north india. texas braces itself for hurricane harvey, the worst storm to hit the us mainland in 12 years. in a moment it will be time for sportsday, but first a look at what else is coming up this evening on bbc news. as the road and rail networks face the full force of the bank holiday getaway, we'll be asking what's the best way forward for britain's transport system. texas prepares for hurricane harvey — we'll hear the latest predictions for what could be the worst storm to hit the us in 12 years.

this is bbc news. i'm rachel schofield. the headlines at 11pm: theresa may insists she is not a quitter and vows to lead the conservatives into the next general election. i'm here for the long—term and it's crucial what me and my government are about is notjust about delivering brexit, we are delivering a brighter future for the united kingdom. after north korea's latest missile test, president trump says talking is not the answer to the crisis. the texas governor says his state has not yet seen the worst of the flooding triggered by tropical storm harvey. coming up on newsnight, a case of a white christian five—year—old girl put into the foster care of muslim families has made headlines in recent days. these cases can be complex, but is something wrong in the world of fostering and does culture and religious background even matter? good evening and welcome to bbc news. theresa may says she intends to stay on to fight the next general election. the prime minister, who is visiting japan, told the bbc there was absolutely no basis whatsoever to reports that she would stand down in two years' time. mrs may was speaking to the bbc at the start of a three day visit to japan, during which she hopes to ease concerns about brexit and prepare the way for a trade agreement. this report from our political correspondent ben wright contains flash photography. it's theresa may's first visit to japan as prime minister. she doesn't plan on it being her last. wearing the colours of the country's flag, this visit is a reminder that brexit is notjust about fractious talks in brussels. it's about reassuring long—standing allies and investors beyond the eu. stick with us, her message to japan. but theresa may also revealed her ambition here, and had a message for her critics back home. is it your intention to lead the tory party into the next general election? yes, i'm here for the long—term. and it's crucial... what me and my government are about is notjust delivering on brexit. we are delivering a brighter future for the united kingdom. it is the first time theresa may has been so blunt about her plans to fight the next election and her foreign secretary today seemed enthused at the prospect. i'm giving my back tooing theresa may. i'm giving my undivided backing to theresa may. we need to get brexit done. she is ideally placed to deliver a great outcome for our country. by the next general election, britain will be out of the eu, the question is on what terms and the japan's prime minister wants to know more about the uk government strategy. over three decades more than a thousand japanese firms have established in britain. notjust the big three car makers, but manufacturers and banks. both ways, it is a relationship that matters. but some ofjapan‘s banks are worried their access to eu markets could suffer. some financial institutions have announced that they prefer moving certain number of operations from london to europe, to retain the single passport within the eu. do you still think that no deal is better than a bad deal and we could would being away? yes, i think that is right. if you talk about the point at which we leave the eu, we want to ensure that at that point we do have a deal and we have a deal that is the right deal for the united kingdom. after about eight hours in kyoto theresa may is moving to tokyo, where discussions about trade will dominate the talks. but she has come and tried to settle for good the question about her leadership that has dogged her since the botched general election in june. but the question is whether her mps and her party back in the uk accept that she can stick this out for the long—term zmrchlt. ben wright, bbc news, in kyoto. president trump has said talking is not the answer to the north korea missile crisis. pyongyang warned yesterday's missile test overjapan was the first step of military operations in the pacific. despite the president's comments, the american defence secretary, james mattis, insisted there is still room for diplomacy in dealing with north korea. from tokyo, rupert wingfield—hayes reports. these are the first pictures of north korea's latest and most provocative missile launch. as expected, kim jong—un was on hand to give his personal guidance. the north korean dictator gazes skywards as the missile flies towards japan. and along with the pictures came this statement from north korea's state media. north korea's statement shows the ultimate target of yesterday's test was not here injapan, but the us pacific island of guam, with its huge military bases, and that north korea intends more such tests. so what can be done to stop it? last night in new york, the un security council members, including china, were unanimous in condemning north korea. today, the cracks have already begun to appear. from president trump came this tweet, ruling out any prospect of talks. here injapan, prime minister theresa may said china must now do something. we want to work with international partners to see what further pressure can be brought on north korea. and of course particularly look at what china can do. in beijing, china's foreign ministry spokeswoman had this rather caustic response. translation: some countries dash forward when it comes to imposing sanctions but hide away when it comes to asking for peace talks. this is not the attitude of a responsible nation. there is growing suspicion that north korea could not have developed this new missile so fast by itself. there is also agreement that it must be stopped. but there is none on how to do it. china wants talks. the us, britain and japan, more sanctions. meanwhile, north korea is almost certainly preparing for its next test. rupert wingfield—hayes, bbc news, in tokyo. the governor of texas says the worst is not yet over for some parts of the state as torrential rain continues to fall in the wake of tropical storm harvey. the flooding has forced a number of oil and gas pipelines and refineries to shut down, affecting almost a quarter of america's fuel output. at least 20 people are known to have died. the storm has now moved on to neighbouring louisiana. when harvey hit landfall on friday it was already a powerful category four hurricane, which was expected to cause flooding. but high pressure was already sitting over america and that's what made a bad storm a lot worse. instead of moving inland and weakening, as expected, harvey became trapped over texas for several days. and that meant that the tropical storm was able to suck up more and more warm ocean water from the gulf of mexico and then dumped it, in record levels, on houston. from there, james cook reports. this is what hurricane harvey did to houston. believe it or not, the water has gone down and still swathes of the city look like this. lives have been lost, homes have been ruined and people are still trapped. from the air, we spotted this couple, desperate for help. what's happening now is that we've seen these people in the water down below, they‘ re clearly in need of help. there's a boat, just a few blocks away, but it can't get to them. it can't see them, so we're going to use the helicopter to try to guide them in. slowly, carefully, we help them find one another. a helicopter directing a boat along a leafy street, suburban america turned upside down. they made it. just seconds later we spotted this, fire and flood and no way in for the firefighters. this was a five minute slice of the drama which has been unfolding in the skies over houston for days. and not just houston, this is port arthur in neighbouring louisiana where harvey has hit again. the hurricane may have been downgraded to a tropical storm, but it still packs a powerful punch. with a0 inches of rain here, they're taking what they can as they help their children escape. back in down town houston, still dazed, but at least they're dry. the people of this city do now have a chance to take stock and they know there are struggles ahead. thank you, guys. rodman young is now homeless in his own city after his house was flooded when two reservoirs spilt over. it's sad. it is sad and you feel a little bit hopeless because you're losing all your stuff and they only gave us, from the point we woke up, a couple of hours sleep and we were fighting the waters at our house. here people formed a chain to help an elderly man trapped in his car. the human touch that has brought people together plain to see. as it moves across the southern united states the wake of this storm is widening and so is the damage. the bleak legacy of hurricane harvey will be felt for years to come. james cook, bbc news, houston. the chair of the independent inquiry into building regulations set up in response to the grenfell tower fire has said it's inevitable she will find failings in the existing system. damejudith hackitt has promised to produce an interim report by christmas, and herfinal conclusions by spring next year. karl mercer has the details. before the 14th of june, few people had even heard of g re nfell tower. ten weeks later, it stands testament to a system that failed, to fire and building regulations that didn't do theirjob and to inspection regimes that didn't pick up the risk of fire. and in the weeks since, tower blocks across the capital have had to be evacuated, deemed unsafe. at the chalcots estate in camden, hundreds had to leave their homes. at the ledbury estate in southwark, the gas was turned off over safety fears. today, the woman charged with looking at what went wrong with those regulations promised answers. i can understand that people living in those tower blocks right now are worried and rightly so. and it's important that we get some recommendations out quickly so that the right rectifications can be made and things can be progressed quickly. her inquiry will focus on fire and building regulations and how they've worked. in the wake of grenfell, the government ordered tests on hundreds of pieces of cladding from tower blocks. they all failed the test. i think it would be obvious to most people, having seen the data on the number of high—rise buildings where the tests have proven the cladding to be inadequate, it's clear to most people that there must be some problem that is bigger than a one—off. herfindings will feed into the wider public inquiry being led by former judge sir martin moore—bick. it may have hard lessons for many across the sector. i think it's inevitable that we're going to find some shortcomings in the system. what they will be, i'm not prepared to speculate at this stage. i think it's important that i look at all of those things. the competence of the people, how they work, whether people know what their roles and responsibilities are, all of those things matter. if this system is going to work effectively, it's notjust about what's written down, it is about how it applies in practice as well. damejudith has promised an initial report by the autumn, a full one by next spring. karl mercer, bbc london news. let's have a quick look at some of the front pages. the telegraph has the two stories which dominate tomorrow's front pages. it marks the 20th anniversary of the death of princess diana. it also reports on theresa may's intention to stay in power to fight the next general election. the financial times says the prime minister's comments could prompt an early leadership contest as many mps had expected her to step down following the brexit negotiations. the guardian also leads with the prime minister's interview, in which she insisted she was not a quitter. the times says the prime minister wants to stay on to focus on social justice as well as brexit. the daily mail says mrs may's declaration could mean she remains prime minister for the next 10 years. the metro dedicates its front page to the tributes to diana at kensington palace. the sun also gives a full page to princess diana, saying she is still the people's princess. now on bbc news it's time for newsnight with evan davis. quote of the day. is it your intention to lead the tory party into the next general election? yes, i am here for the long term and it is crucial, what me and my government are about is notjust delivering on brexit, we are delivering a brighter future for the united kingdom. the prime minister is not a quitter, she says. the conventional view is that it may not be up to her. is it possible that theresa may could just turn around and carry on prime ministering? if she delivered brexit and i think she will, she will be a national hero. and then why not carry on? should you be outraged at a white christian child being put into the care of a muslim family? this kind of small—minded kind of hysterical reaction to you know, white english child going to a british muslim family. i mean, that it could be so shocking and worthy of so many headlines and such drama was disappointing. also tonight: the week that changed britain. ordid it? as the wreaths piled up outside kensington palace the nation renowned for its stiff upper lip was showing a decidedly wobbly lower one. 20 years on, did diana's death tip us into a new era of ridiculous sentimentality? or were we right to become more open about our feelings? hello. theresa may said something that is generally considered highly unlikely today. speaking to journalists on her trip tojapan,

for within the venue itself, mr trump launched a blistering attack on the media for almost an hour. he also defended his record on opposing. so, the truly dishonest people in the media and the fake

they don't want to report that i spoke out forcefully against hatred, eager tree and violence, and strongly condemned the neo—nazis, the white supremacists the kkk. president trump speaking a short while ago. leaked documents from the united nations say that the saudi—led coalition, as well as the houthi rebels are killing and maiming children and that the coalition is also blocking the delivery

killed thousands and left millions homeless. we head across town. wherever you go, displaced people line the streets. with all borders closed, there's no escape. even the refugee camp offered no

replacements. food should not be a weapon of war, food should be a weapon of peace. 95% of all the food that we need to feed the innocent people comes through this sport. —— port. if this port is

after two deadly collisions in asia in two months. in the latest, ten sailors are missing after the uss john mccain, collided with an oil tanker near singapore on monday. copenhagen police say a corpse found in waters off denmark was deliberately mutilated, but can't say yet if it is the remains of swedish journalist kim vahl. she was last seen alive on august 10th, leaving on a trip with submarine inventor peter madsen, who's now been charged with negligent manslaughter. there were no longer be a direct influence after brexit. in a paper setting out to the future relationship should be enforced, ministers says there are other ways for dealing with disputes. the document still leaves the role unclear. let's get back to the story we began on in this bulletin, and that is the situation in phoenix, arizona. our correspondence is there where donald trump had been giving his address. obviously, a very tense situation. there are a number of people around here are wearing masks and on the other side of the street are the police, lined up. that will try and get you a better look at what is happening here with the police. but like that you can see flashing is from a police helicopter above us. tell me what happened. my cousin got it with a bean bag. they are shooting at us, they are trying to stop our protest. what started it? what started it was donald trump. but more immediately? donald trump. thank you very much. a lot of people are unhappy about the president of the united states. there are a lot of protesters, police just moving towards a theory so we are just going to keep an eye on them because it has been some teargas fired in the past few minutes but they have marched forwards. there were a lot more protesters here earlier, a lot more, and they were probably speaking broadly speaking they were pretty peaceful, which... police and is trying to move people down the street. i would surely what has happened. let's have a look at this. james, i don't know if you can hear me. you are asking on the protesters what started this. i have seen some reports that stones and bottles had been thrown at the police. can you give... had any idea as to what caused this and how many protesters we re caused this and how many protesters were there? i don't know is the short answer. i will not speculate. i was inside the rally when it began. there is quite a lot of gas in the street now, so we are going to keep moving away from it. a car here are just surrounded by a burning canister. some people are moving towards the police. i'm not sure it has been deployed by the police. i willjust move away from this. let's just moved down the street a little bit. there you go. we will keep moving. you just make sure you are ok and the last thing we want is to be taking in some of those gas canisters kneeing spray. as you can see, a difficult situation in phoenix in arizona after president trump gave an address at the convention centre in phoenix to very much a supportive crowd there, the protesters were waiting outside to make clear their feelings about mostly mr trump's remarks with regard to white supremacists. that ta kes regard to white supremacists. that takes us back to the situation in cha rlottesville takes us back to the situation in charlottesville a couple of weeks ago. we are going to keep a close eye on that for you and we will go back to james if and when required. in the meantime, let's get the business news. advertising does rather well. it is seen as a global bellwether. the world's largest advertising group is due to report its latest numbers in the next couple of hours. the advertiser is seen a bellwetherfor an industry that's changed dramatically in recent years. while the total spent by brands globally on advertising in 2016 was up at $493 billion — where it's being spent is shifting significantly. while traditional advertising sales were effectivly flat — global digital ad sales grew by 17% to $178 billion. that number will of course keep growing and by 2021 it's estimated it will account for 50% of all adverts. so where are those dollars going? mostly to facebook and google — together they control 54% of the global digital advertising market, up from 44% in 2015. but are adverts on these platforms even getting to their audience? it's been estimated that invalid traffic — that's where a bot rather than a human views an advert — is costing advertisers a staggering $16.5 billion a year, and that number is expected to grow. we will talk more about that in world business report. also in the programme: in hong kong the stock market has been shut down by typhoon hato, which has been battering the city. the storm has caused havoc — with hundred of flights cancelled, with most schools and businesses also closed. hato has been issued a signal ten storm warning — the highest weather warning. we'll be looking at its impact on the financial hub. that is all in world business report in

maria von trapp. we'll explain why. washington, the world's most political city, is today assessing the political health of the world's most powerful man. indeed, i did have a relationship with miss lewinsky that was not appropriate. in fact, it was wrong. in south africa, 97 people have been killed today, in one of the worst days of violence between rival black groups. over the last ten days,

the pope has celebrated mass before a congregation of more than 2.5 million people, in his hometown of krakow.

suggest both sides are violating international law. terror charges, including murder, have been filed against two of the suspected islamists captured after last week's attacks in and around barcelona. and another main story happening right now in phoenix, arizona. police have been putting up a line against anti— donald trump protesters. donald trump is in phoenix, delivering an address at the convention centre to his supporters. it is not quite a stand—off. we have seen the police moving forward, letting off teargas canisters to push supporters, the demonstrators, i should say, back, in the hope of dispersing them. this is the situation and we will keep across this for you here on bbc news. prince william and prince harry have been recalling the seven days between their mother's death and her funeral in a new bbc documentary. the princes describe how they were numb and confused when they first heard of their mother's death in 1997, and were grateful for the seclusion provided by balmoral castle in scotland. our royal correspondent nicholas witchell has more. it was the week when a nation mourned and the monarchy faced sharp criticism. at its heart were two boys grieving for the loss of their mother but required by their royal position to appear in public and help assuage the public‘s sense of loss. in the bbc documentary william and harry speak of the numbness and confusion they felt when they were told that their mother was dead. and in harry's case it is clear there is still anger to the french photographers who were pursuing diana's speeding car in the moments before the crash in the tunnel in paris. one of the hardest things to come to terms with is the fact that the people that chased her into the tunnel were the same that were taking photographs of her while she was dying in the back seat of the car. william and i know that. we have been told that from people that know that it was the case. she had had quite a severe head injury. she was still alive on the back seat. those people that caused the accident, instead of helping, were taking photographs of her dying on the back seat. then those photographs made their way back to the news desks in this country. william and harry were in balmoral when they heard the news in paris. they speak in support of their grandmotherfor they speak in support of their grandmother for her efforts to shield them, and/or their father — he tried to do his best, said harry. when they moved from balmoral to london they encountered grieving crowds. and it is clear that they found the experience bewildering with so many sobbing and wanting to touch them. the decision to walk behind their mother's coffin said they felt a strong sense of duty even then. when you have something so even then. when you have something so traumatic as the death of your mother when you are 15, as, very sadly, many people have experienced, and no one wants to experience, it leaves you, you know, it will make oi’ leaves you, you know, it will make or break you, and i wouldn't let it break me. i wanted her to be proud of the person i would become. i didn't want her worried, or her legacy to be that william or harry we re legacy to be that william or harry were completely and utterly devastated by it. and all of her ha rd devastated by it. and all of her hard work, love and energy she put into us when we were younger would go to waste. they were children coping with their own grief and the attention of the grieving nation. and they kept going to honour their mother's memory. and viewers in the uk can see diana: seven days on sunday night at 7:30pm on bbc one. england will play new zealand in the women's rugby world cup final this weekend. they beat france 20—3 in the second semi—final in belfast

are through to a second successive world cup final, beating france in the end, 23—3. it was so tight in the first half. just one kick apiece. three each on the board at half—time. in the second half, england gradually pulled away. first a try by sarah byrne, the prop, to give some daylight between england and france. and then at the final whistle, england pounced on the ball to get the 20—3 victory. and they meet champions new zealand after beating the underdogs usa in the earlier semi—final. the scoreline was 115—12. it was another very tight semi—final. much tighter than people expected from the usa. they really put up a fight against the mighty black ferns. it was 15—7 at half time, very close at half—time, but gradually, new zealand found a second gear and pulled ahead to get to the final as well. it is the fairy tale final everyone wanted to see in belfast on saturday. the top two teams in the world, england against new zealand, going head to head for the world title. barcelona says it will demand at least $10 million from its former player, the brazilian striker, neymar. they say the 25—year—old was in breach of contract when he left the catalan club for french giants paris saint—germain. the legal action follows neymar‘s world record $260 million transfer. the club is also chasing an additional 10% in interest payments for a delay in payment. ijust want i just want to take you back to phoenix now, the situation after donald trump delivered an address at the phoenix convention centre. there we re the phoenix convention centre. there were a number of protesters outside. we don't have an exact count on that. some reports have suggested several thousand protesting against donald trump and his position with regard to the white supremacist movement.

aside. as the mayor now calls for calm to be restored. laura bicker, bbc news, washington. let's stay with that story now — earlier i spoke to local reporter, michael bragg, about the latest developments in charlottesville. a lot of it has cleared out at this time. i walked around downtown area just a few moments ago, and it's mostly state and local police at this point. so not much going on right now. michael, this has been brewing as an issue for a long time, but were people there really expecting violence like this? i don't think people were expecting violence like this. people were definitely concerned, and afraid of what was going to happen, but i don't think anybody expected, you know, what happened today to actually happen, a car running through people in the downtown mall. in terms of the groups making up what we believe are white nationalists, what more do we know about them, in terms of where they have come from and what you know about them? to our understanding, they have come from all over the country. last night at the university of virginia, they met for a torch rally. we counted, or guessed, at least 700 were out there. there were several thousand people out there today, so it's hard to say exactly where they came from. now, we heard very strong words from governor mcauliffe. you know the local area very well. what do you think will happen in the coming hours and coming days? well, i know tomorrow there will be a lot of different events for people to kind of process what has happened. three people have died this weekend, one on the downtown mall, and two police officers, in a helicopter crash. so a lot of people are going to take time to think, regroup and reassess, and as the week goes on, it will be brought up several times, and i'm sure there will be plenty of opportunities for public input, and really the community coming together. can i pick up on the two police officers. do you know any more about that? sure, we were released information a little while ago, the names were released. i can pull up the e—mail now. the cause of the crash is still unknown. at this time, they are saying there's no foul play is suspected. but, as far as the names, they are both state police officers from virginia. that's really all we have at this moment in time. let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news... the chief of a hospital in the indian state of utar pradesh has been suspended in connection with the deaths of sixty four children in six days. many of the victims were newborn babies. there are allegations that oxygen shortages caused the deaths in the town of gorakpur, because suppliers‘ bills went unpaid. authorities deny this and have ordered an investigation. venezuelan opposition protesters are again on the streets of caracas. the government has described comments by president trump about military options against venezuela as a "reckless threat", aiming to drag latin america and the caribbean into conflict. the aid agency, msf, says it's suspending the deployment of its largest migrant rescue ship in the mediterranean. the charity has blamed the decision on libya for imposing new access restrictions on large stretches of its coastal waters that traffickers use to smuggle migrants to europe. msf said it would now assist another rescue team instead. spain is the latest country to be

of the injured were brought to hospital. the attack happened when people were out celebrating the 70th anniversary of pakistan's independence. is said they carried out the attack. security forces have been targeted by both separatists and various islamist factions for decades. but a series of attacks late last year, like this one on a police training college that killed 61 cadets, has raised concerns about a growing militant presence. laura westbrook, bbc news. the pakistani politician, imran khan, says the situation between india and pakistan is "the worst it's ever been". speaking exclusively to the bbc as the two countries commemorate seventy years of partition, pakistan's opposition leader criticises india's prime minister, narendra modi, for his association with hindu extremists, and for letting down muslims in india. india has a prime minister who has not risen above what we... ..his communal thinking, his association with extremists, his background where there was this massacre, in gujarat, of muslims when he was the chief minister. somehow we expected that when narendra modi would became the prime minister he would rise above this but i have to say we are all so disappointed because narendra modi has not just disappointed pakistanis, he's disappointed muslims in india, he's disppointed all the liberal section in india which... ..which enjoyed the fact that india had this multicultural society. he's taken india to a society where a lot of people, when i was growing up, used to say, they were worried that in india they would not be treated properly, they would not be treated as equal citizens. narendra modi has taken india right there. where my parents‘ generation used to fear that the reason there needs to be a partition is because muslims would not be treated fairly in india and that is what narendra modi has proved. next week, we'll have a special coverage to mark 70 years of partition and the independence of india and pakistan here on bbc news. and you can get more information on the dedicated partition page on our website. stay with us on bbc news — still to come... glory for the british quartet at the world athletics championships in

on protestors after results of the presidential election were announced. they claim 2a people have died in election—related violence since tuesday. leaders of the opposition have appealed for calm, but say they still don't recognise the outcome of the election. alistair leithead reports. after a night of violence, the ambulances brought out the injured from the worst—hit neighbourhoods. some had bullet wounds, others machete cuts and head injuries. it is hard to know how many people have been killed or injured in the police crackdown in these opposition strongholds. the clashes continued throughout the day, rock—throwing youths confronting tear gas—firing police. they‘ re dramatic images, and they were intense, but this was largely contained to small areas. well, there have certainly been violent clashes. we've seen people who have been killed and injured. but it is very much just back and forth between local youths and these special units you can see, who are quite well—armed. much of what was fired was tear gas, but there is plenty of evidence live bullets were used. monica atieno lost her nephew, thomas, this morning. i heard that he was shot dead by the police officers. was it a bullet wound in his body? yes, there is a wound, a bullet wound in the chest. kenya's human rights commission said the police were using excessive force, despite a denial from the government. people who break into shops are not peaceful protesters. so you cannot say the police used live bullets on peaceful protesters. it is not true. the opposition national super alliance again rejected what they called a sham election, but theirsenior leaders were absent. stealing elections with impunity, in every five years, must come to an end. this is nothing like the level of anger or violence that sparked the killings ten years ago, but it is a test of leadership over the angry opposition supporters and overzealous police, and it is a test for kenyan democracy. alistair leithead, bbc news, nairobi. china's president xijinping has urged donald trump and north korea to avoid "words and actions" that could worsen their political stand—off. chinese state media says mr xi made the plea to mr trump in a phone call. in the past week, pyongyang and washington have been exchanging increasingly angry threats. from seoul, robin brant sent this report. president trump has threatened "fire and fury." his military, he says, is now "locked and loaded." but tonight, north korea is getting sound and music from its neighbours in the south. the message at this annual peace concert on the border perhaps a little louder, after a week of increasing tension. this is south korea's capital, just a few dozen miles away from that concert. the people here have long lived with the growing threat from the north. but... translation: i am worried about that, because the level of tension caused by trump's government is much higher than obama's government. translation: trump's policy offers me a comfortable life, because he puts heavy pressure on north korea. i feel comfortable. there are small signs, though, that they may be stepping up their preparedness. there are reports shoppers are buying more ready meals, and investors here are buying more gold. in just over a week's time, they will have a civil defence drill here in this city. the sirens will go off, people will be guided from above ground to metro stations or bomb shelters, to take cover from any possible aerial attack. it happens every year. last year, just a handful of districts in seoul took part. but apparently, this year, everyone is taking part. this relationship remains key to finding a solution. china's president, xijinping, has a crucial role if there is to be peace. but, in a phone call, he told mr trump that all relevant parties, him included, should stop exacerbating the situation. this is part of a reason for that: it is a threat america cannot tolerate. mr trump called guam's governor to say this: this is between you and i, but you don't talk like they talk, and you can't do that. you can't do that to people like us. across the sea, injapan, they are preparing missiles, but these are for defence. japanese military transporters have been moved to places where they could intercept any north korean launch. robin brant, bbc news, seoul. seven members of the white helmets in syria — the emergency service in rebel areas — have been buried after they were shot dead at one of their centres. the attack happened in the early hours of saturday in the town of sarmin, nine kilometres east of the city of idlib. their bodies were discovered when volunteers arrived to start a shift. sebastian usher reports. the white helmets have lost many of their rescue workers in bomb blasts and gunfire, but this is the first time so many have been killed in cold blood. they were shot in the head as they worked the night shift. as the seven were being buried in the fields outside sarmin, a host of tributes were being paid to them online. the head of the white helmets posted the group's symbol stained with blood. others uploaded video of a man in tears after he rescued a child after an air strike. the white helmets have been celebrated as heroes by many. they have been nominated for the nobel peace prize, and their exploits documented in an oscar—winning film. but not everyone sees the group as whiter than white. they have been attacked as frauds, a western—backed pr stunt, and far too close for comfort tojihadists fighters. the group acknowledges that it receives a financial backing from the west, that some of its members were once fighters, and that, by necessity, they can only work in rebel—held areas. now it is unclear why seven of its members were killed, but the deaths bring another bleak and brutal twist to the syrian conflict. gay rights activists have been assaulted after taking part in a pride event in russia. dozens of people held flags and banners in a peaceful parade in a park in st petersburg. while leaving the event a number of the activists were targeted with pepper spray by unidentified men. at least one of the victims was treated in hospital. a danish inventor, who designed the world's biggest privately—built submarine, has been detained on suspicion of manslaughter. the 46—year—old denies killing a swedishjournalist who had been travelling with him. 30—year—old kim vall was last seen on the submarine before it sank. our europe regional editor, danny aeberhard reports. kim wall and peter madsen, looking out from the home—built nautilus on thursday evening, as it leaves copenhagen. ms wall, apparently seen here, was the only passenger. that much is clear. what happened next is not. the freelance journalist's boyfriend reported her missing, and a huge search was launched. mr madsen was spotted by witnesses on friday, aboard the nautilus. but soon after, it sank — fast. it was located at a depth of seven metres, and efforts to recover it are underway. peter, are you ok? are you ok? mr madsen was rescued, reportedly as the sub went down, by a private boat. he said he was fine, although a little sad, seeing the nautilus go down. peter madsen had hit the headlines in 2008, when he managed to build the nearly—80—metre—long vessel using online crowdfunding. he was arrested when he returned to shore. the inventor says he dropped ms wall off on one of copenhagen‘s islands on thursday night. police are examining cctv footage to try to verify this. he has appeared in court in a closed hearing. prosecutors said it was needed to shield relatives from emerging details, and to give space for the ongoing police investigation, one that could have stepped from the pages of even the most imaginative danish crime thriller. there was disappointment at the world athletics championships in london for the man considered by many to be the greatest sprinter of all time —jamaica's usain bolt. he failed to finish in the men's 100 metre relay, which was eventually won by great britain. also leaving the track for good was britain's mo farah in the 5000 metres. parvin kumar ramchurn rounds up the action. in a career decorated in glory, there wasn't a golden ending for usain bolt in the 100m relay. the 30—year—old jamaican and eight—time olympic gold medallist pulled up injured in the men's relay final, whilst running the final leg forjamaica. the race unexpectedly won by great britain, much to the excitement of the home crowd in london. the united states finished second, with japan taking an excellent bronze medal. meanwhile, in the women's100m relay, there was gold for the united states, with the british team taking silver in a close and exciting race. one of the greatest distance runners of all time, britain's mo farah, also bowed out of track competition at a major championship. the home favourite had been hoping to complete an historic double in the 5,000m, after already securing gold in the 10,000m. however, the british athlete was pushed into second place by ethiopian muktar edris. farah, a four—time olympic gold medallist, will now concentrate on the marathon. in the women's100m hurdles, there was a triumphant return to london for former olympic champion sally pearson. after two years plagued by injury, the australian produced a time of 12.59 seconds to finish first. and, in the men's decathlon, french athlete kevin mayer emerged with the gold medal. the 25—year—old, who finished second at the rio olympics last year, finished on 8,768 points. parvin kumar ramchurn, bbc news. people in dagestan have been fighting off an invasion of locusts. swarms of the pests have destroyed thousands of hectares of farmland. the insects can consume

good morning. well, despite a few nuisance showers across north—east england, for many of us, saturday was a promising day. and a ridge of high pressure continues to build through the night, so clear skies here, withjust a little bit more in the way of cloud across the essex and kent coasts, with the legacy of those saturday showers. but, generally speaking, it is quiet start to sunday. it will be a chilly one, not necessarily in towns and city centres, but in rural spots, expect low single figures to greet you first thing this morning. but there will be a light breeze, and with those clear skies comes lots of pleasant sunshine. so not a bad start to the day. as we go through the afternoon, cloud will start to bubble up, and we'll see a few isolated showers, but hopefully they'll be few and far between. favoured spots likely across scotland and northern ireland. if you dodge the showers, with light winds, 17 or 18 degrees will feel quite pleasant. certainly a better day through the borders, north—east england, down into lincolnshire, in comparison to yesterday. fine, dry and sunny. yes, the risk of an isolated shower further west, into wales and south—west england. but again, you'll be unlikely to catch those, so highs of 19 to 20 degrees here, and low 20s quite possibly, again if we get the sunshine continuing. so, if you're heading off for the final day of the world athletics championships, whether it is the morning or the evening session, perfect weather conditions for those spectators, and for the athletes. and a similar story, as well, for the premiership matches taking place today. very nice indeed, largely dry here. now, as we move out of sunday, into monday, a change to come. a weather front moves in from the west. it'll bring the heaviest of the rain through scotland, in particular, and north—west england. light and patchy into northern ireland, wales and south—west england. the best of the sunshine, really, through east anglia, the east midlands, down into the south—east corner. here, we could see highest values around 22 or 23. but, even in the cloud and the rain, we're looking at around 15 to 19 degrees. so once the rain clears through and the brightness returns, not too bad an affair. that front will still clear away. it is not going to bring that much in the way of persistent rain across the east, but it will do so through tuesday night, into the start of the day. so on tuesday it looks as though we'll see a scattering of showers, but not a bad affair. 17 to 23 degrees the overall high. that front still to clear away, and then another waits in the wings for wednesday. but, ahead of it, it stays relatively quiet, so not a bad day on wednesday. it will cloud over from the west with that rain arriving, but that is going to be the story this week. there will be some spells of sunshine from time to time, but also, we can't rule out spells of rain. this is bbc news, the headlines: one person has died and at least

welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name is gavin grey. our top stories: the un security council imposes $1 billion worth of sanctions on north korea over its nuclear and missile programmes. venezuela's chief prosecutor is fired by the new constituent assembly. she says it wants to stop her investigating corruption. also in the programme, a shock result at the world athletics championships as usain bolt takes bronze in his last individual 100m race. hello and welcome to bbc news. the united nations security council has voted unanimously to impose tough new sanctions against north korea. the resolution was drafted by the united states and comes in response to two long—range ballistic missile tests last month. the sanctions aim to deprive pyongyang of more than $1 billion a year in export earnings. china and russia also called on the us to stop the deployment of its thaad anti—missile system in south korea. from the un in new york, nick bryant reports. this was a show of ambition and menace. north korea last month testing an intercontinental ballistic missile that appeared capable of reaching the american mainland, west coast cities such as los angeles and even beyond. it's this kind of brinkmanship that's intensified diplomacy at the united nations security council and led to a deal between the us and china, north korea's ally, to impose tough new sanctions. this is the most stringent set of sanctions on any country in a generation. these sanctions will cut deep, and in doing so will give the north korean leadership a taste of the depravation they have chosen to inflict on the north korean people. every country must ensure that these measures are adhered to. every country must live up to our word. this time there is too much at stake. we simply cannot afford to fail. most of north korea's export trade goes across this border into china. and pyongyang could be deprived of roughly a third of its export income, the sanctions hitting its trade in coal, iron and seafood. but they don't limit oil deliveries, a move that would have a crippling effect on the economy and potentially a collapsing effect on the pyongyang regime. translation: we hope that the parties will immediately take action to prevent further escalation and create the conditions for the resumption of talks, and to bring the nuclear issue on the peninsula back on the right track, seeking a peaceful solution through dialogue and consultation. this week, the pentagon conducted its own test of an unarmed intercontinental ballistic missile, proof it said that america is ready and able to deter, detect and defend against attacks. last weekend, in another show of force aimed at the leadership in pyongyang, america flew supersonic bombers over the korean peninsular. but as well as displaying its military hardware, the trump administration has indicated it might be wooing to conduct talks with north korea. these sanctions increase the pressure on pyongyang to enter into dialogue. so far, sanctions have failed, and most intelligence analysts here believe north korea won't come to the negotiating table until it has proven beyond any doubt that it not only has a missile that could reach the us mainland, but a missile that could be armed with a nuclear warhead. nick bryant, bbc news, at the united nations. venezuela's opposition groups say the country's institutions have been taken hostage after the top prosecutor, a vocal critic of the president maduro, was sacked. politicians removed luisa ortega from office following a unanimous vote in the new controversial assembly. she says she's been stopped from investigating alleged corruption and human rights abuses. dozens of national guard officers took up position around her office preventing herfrom entering. will grant reports from caracas. it didn't take long for venezuela's chief prosecutor to feel the consequences of her opposition towards the constituent assembly. just hours after the controversial new legislative body was sworn in, miss ortega's office was surrounded by their security forces. she posted photographs onto her twitter account of national guardsmen in riot gear, and said she denounced the siege in front of the national and international community. a prominent member of the new assembly, the country's former foreign minister delcy rodriguez, indicated such high—profile opponents could expect swift action when she spoke at her swearing—in ceremony. more broadly, the chief prosecutor has become a serious obstacle to mr maduro since she abandoned her support for his government. first she led a national outcry after the supreme court briefly took control of the powers of the opposition—led national assembly. since the constituent assembly was proposed, she has consistently denounced it publicly and brought legal action to halt its advance. police in italy are investigating the kidnapping of a british model, who was held captive for nearly a week. the young woman, who hasn't been named, had been in milan for what she thought was a photo—shoot. detectives say she was drugged and attempts were made to try to sell her on the internet. a polish man, who lives in britain, has been arrested. sophie long reports. she had travelled to milan for a photoshoot but it was bogus and the young woman was abducted and held here, an abandoned shop on the outskirts of the city. italian police say the 20—year—old british model was attacked and robbed by two people. translation: the victim was doped with ketamine, then she was locked in a bag and carried for hours in a car. think what could have happened if she suffered from asthma. it's thought that she was bundled into the boot of this vehicle. they believe she was taken to a remote mountain cottage, near turin, and say she spent much of her week—long ordeal handcuffed to a chest of drawers. her kidnapper is alleged to have tried to sell her for sex on the internet and demanded a ransom of nearly £250,000. but after six days she was released and taken to the british consulate in milan. this man, lukasz herba, a 30—year—old polish national living in britain, has been arrested by italian police. the foreign office here say they are providing consular support of a british woman in italy and are in touch with local authorities. sophie long, bbc news. usain bolt will certainly enter the history books as one of the greatest sprinters, but his final individual 100m race did not play out for the story books. the jamaican champion finished with the bronze medal in a race won by american justin gatlin, who has served two separate drug bans. natalie pirks has the story. the day began with a thunderstorm which gave way to blue skies. jamaica's fans made to feel at home in london as they geared up for what they believed would be their hero's fairytale ending. last run, last time, going to be a great loss to the sport but we're going to be here with him on the last lap. i wouldn't say i'm confident, i'm overconfident! i know he will win! when he finishes it will be a celebration and it's going to go on all night and all morning. by the evening, the night sky was crackling with expectation. they saved the bolt for last. but the warning signs had been there, beaten for the first time in four years in the semi—final by young american christian coleman. bolt‘s starts had been shaky. commentator: and they blast away and coleman gets a brilliant start in lane number five. bolt is chasing him through. he has to dig into the reservoir of greatness. it's coleman, then bolt, coleman gets him on the line. the disbelief swept around the stadium. this wasn't in the script. there would be no 12th world title, there would be no dream goodbye. crowd boos the crowd made it more than clear what they thought of the result. bolt was their darling, gatlin their pantomime villain. a two—times drug cheat now a three—times world champion. bolt has rarely had to settle for second best let alone third but he bows out having transcended his sport, his legacy secure. natalie pirks, bbc news, at the london stadium. injamaica, people were out in the streets to watch the 100 metre final and with the last four championships won by a jamaican, it's normally a night of celebrations. here's the reaction from kingston. gatlin beat him! can't believe, man! gatlin beat him, 9.92. he crossed the line and he's made jamaica proud, and he's the best thing to happen to track and field ever. we love him and we support him no matter what. and a reminder that you can get more on all our stories by going to the bbc news website. there's full background and analysis plus video and audio content. go to

and forest fires. from sicily, gavin lee reports. scorching times for sicily. with records temperatures, the island's grapes suddenly need to be harvested weeks early. but working in the fields in 43 degrees is brutal. translation: today, unfortunately, the temperature was so high, we had to tell the workers to come back later when it's cooler. we all suffer, the machines suffer, the vineyard suffers. the fight here against the sun to save the grape and wine industry is reflected in vineyards across europe. but the wider impact has led to some governments to warn people to stay indoors in the afternoon because of the threat to public health. in the balkans, authorities have been advising people to stay indoors and increase their water intake. in hungary, it's about keeping cool and carrying on, and there's strong advice from hungarian officials. translation: if you know any elderly people ask them if they need any help and offer to do their shopping instead for them. don't let them go to the market in this heat. we also draw your attention to adequate fluid replacement for children and infants. he says it's very hot where he is, marseille, france. it's a0 degrees. staying hydrated while travelling has been a key message here. this is galicia in northern spain, flames turning the sky red and shutting highways. here in sicily, the usually packed summer streets look more like ghost towns. for those hoping for a break from europe's heatwave, temperatures are expected to return to some normality late next week. this is something scientists predict we should get used to, though, suggesting global warming will lead to more of us being exposed to increased extreme weather patterns in the years to come. gavin lee, bbc news, sicily. thousands of brazilian army troops have raided slums in rio dejaneiro in a crackdown on criminal gangs. their main goal was to stop gangs behind a surge in brazen robberies of commercial trucks. the authorities say there were 10,000 cargo thefts last year. the swoop ended with the arrests of 18 people and the deaths of two more. greg dawson reports. searched going in, searched going out. these troops are looking for drugs and weapons. this is the new reality for residents of rio's favellas, all part of the military‘s newly launched operation to get a grip on the criminal gangs overwhelming this city. it's not just those on foot being searched, with roadblocks also in force as troops try to stop a recent surge in robberies of commercial trucks. translation: they break the trucks, they steal money. it's traumatic. those of us with more experience are used to it but some drivers give up theirjobs because of what's going on in rio. it's been a week since the military was deployed across the city with the police unable to cope with the growing levels of violence. the focus of the crackdown is rio's favellas. five separate neighbourhoods were targeted on saturday with many residents saying they woke to the sound of gunfire. 18 people were arrested during the raids, two were killed. "the military calm us," says this woman. "there are so many robberies, so many shootouts. with the military we feel more secure." many residents have complained, though, that their neighbourhood now resembles a war zone but the government says the troops are here to stay until the end of the year at the earliest. this in a week that rio marks exactly a year since the opening of its olympic games. the atmosphere of celebration now a distant memory. greg dawson, bbc news. our main headline: the un security council imposes $1 billion worth of sanctions on north korea over its nuclear and missile programmes. more now on the sanctions just imposed on north korea by the united nations security council. they're intended to hit the north's trade in coal and iron to try to force it to give up its missile and nuclear weapons programmes. i asked harry kazianis, director of defence studies at the us think tank, the centre for the national interest, what he thinks of the new sanctions. they certainly sound good. keep in mind, north korea's economy is only worth $14 billion. it is one third the size of ethiopia. it sounds good. the challenge has been the same challenge facing us for over a decade. will the chinese, who actually import 90% of north korea's goods, actually enforce the sanctions. we have been talking about this for a long time. the chinese are the ones that pull the trigger and make these sanctions happen. while i think this is good the international community recognises what we need to do, the question is will china act? i hate to say it, but i think the answer is no. you have been tweeting the chinese banks need to be tackled by the rest of the world as it were to stop the sanctions being walked around. we know how money goes into north korea. it is mostly through the chinese banks that essentially help the north koreans launder money into the country. that is where the donald trump administration will have to focus its efforts. the donald trump administration, this is a moment of truth when it comes to relations with china. they need to signal to xijinping, relations with china. they need to signal to xi jinping, this relations with china. they need to signal to xijinping, this is relations with china. they need to signal to xi jinping, this is your last chance. you will either work with us north korea and help bring them in. if not, iwould not with us north korea and help bring them in. if not, i would not be surprised if the president went to the podium in the next few weeks and either imposed sanctions on chinese banks or got more tough on trade, which was supposed to happen this friday, but because of negotiations with the un security council resolution, it seemed like donald trump changed his mind. donald trump has been talking tough on china. so far, we have not seen much action. we have not seen much action. he has been active on his twitter feed. i think the donald trump administration will give us a few more weeks. you will see a much tougher response. keep in mind, the north korean nuclear missile programmes are advancing at a dramatic rate. i spoke to someone this week that told me north korea is 6— this week that told me north korea is 6- 18 this week that told me north korea is 6— 18 months away from a hydrogen bomb. that is a big deal, the most advanced nuclear device you can get, one that could kill millions of people. the donald trump administration is going to have to act, and it is going to have to act fast. the us secretary of state rex tillerson is in the philippines for a summit with asean. he will be joined by the north korean foreign minister. the state department said there were no plans for the two to me privately. last week, rex tillerson said the united states had no desire to topple the government. hassan

election is officially closed with the two frontrunners holding their final rallies. president kenyatta held a prayer with his supporters. his challenger addressed his followers in the capital, nairobi. many women in the developing world died because the equipment needed to stop bleeding during childbirth is not available. —— die. a small kit containing a condom has been developed in the us by a massachusetts hospital and is being developed to save hundreds of thousands of lives in kenya. we explain. every two minutes around the world, a woman dies in pregnancy or childbirth. the most men cause is severe bleeding. the solution is normally something called a uterine balloon device, but it is too expensive for hospitals like this one in nairobi. a new version called the every second matters ubt kit containing a condom, a catheter, and a syringe, cost less than $5. we have saved three lives with these. women who are bleeding so much. and once we started using it, she stopped bleeding. it is quick and easy to use. report the catheter right inside the condom is. —— we put. we have to tie it. this is how we decide. now let us assume this is now the uterus. you can put it using your fingers now the uterus. you can put it using yourfingers inside. you can see the way the balloon is coming out. it is bigger. that is better. it causes a lot of pressure within the uterus to stop the bleeding. this is a midwife ata stop the bleeding. this is a midwife at a local centre. every day she helps deliver babies. nurses are now being trained in how to use the kit across africa. we had a patient early last year who delivered. a few minutes after the placenta was removed she started pouring blood like water. it was pouring non—stop. and that is the time i remembered, oh, i have the ubt, i should use it. she became stable. she left the hospital with a baby. a happy patient. it has a 9796 hospital with a baby. a happy patient. it has a 97% success hospital with a baby. a happy patient. it has a 9796 success rate is used properly which could save hundreds of thousands of women's lives across the world. we have time to look at the front pages of the newspapers

final test in england and south africa, the hosts ended the day on top. they had a first—innings total of 362. the damage has been done. james anderson added 50 runs for the last wicket. james anderson dismantled the south african batting, taking four wickets. they we re batting, taking four wickets. they were on 220— nine. 142 runs behind. i like the pitch. there was something there. it wasn't moving through the air. it was up and down and a bit sideways. so, when you are feeling the game like that all of the time, your confidence is always up. you feel like you can, even if you leak a few runs, you feel like if you are in the game you can keep it going. it didn't go very well. i think the wicket has deteriorated a little bit. hussain bowled really well. and in the fourth women's major of the year, the british open at kingsbarns, it has been good for two south koreans. kim got six under. her compatriots got eight under. her compatriots got eight under par to under. her compatriots got eight under parto climb under. her compatriots got eight under par to climb up the leaderboard for fourth. and that is all of the sport. president trump is beginning a seven—day holiday. his russian counterpart valdimir putin, had more energetic pursuits in mind for his summer break. the russian president made a three day trip to the siberian wilderness, and he's been showing off his fishing, snorkelling and quad biking skills. and once again baring his chest for the cameras. sarah rainsford reports. it's russia, it's summer, so it's time for vladimir putin's photo shoot. and this year, the action—man president went fishing in siberia. it ran for ten minutes on state television. the highlight was the pike—chase. this year, mr putin went underwater with a spear gun. the
