and did a united states obsessed bbc get carried away by this week's midterm elections? first, president trump's relationship with the media has always been fractious, but occasionally it breaks out into outright confrontation. a news conference in washington on wednesday was one such occasion. i think you should let me run the country, you run cnn and if you did it well your ratings would be much better. let me ask, if i may... that's enough. if i may ask one other question are you worried... that's enough. pardon me, ma'am... excuse me, that's enough. mr president, one other question if i may ask on the russian investigation, are you concerned that you may have... i'm not concerned about anything with the russian investigation, because it's a hoax. that's enough. put down the mic. mr president, are you worried indictments coming down in this investigation? mr president... i tell you what, cnn should be ashamed of itself, having you working for them. you are a rude, terrible person, you shouldn't be working for cnn. jim acosta, the victim there of a presidential tongue

in the united states, yes, it has gotten much worse. there are a lot of threats against our journalists. we've had to increase our security increasingly. and that started in the last presidential campaign. increase your security in what sense? i cannot give details. but in many ways we have increased security. for individual reporters and for our headquarters. some of your reporters in certain situations had you have bodyguards? we have not gone that far, but there are reporters in the united states who do have bodyguards, particularly journalists who work for some of the television networks. arthur salzburger, the publisher of the new york times, he told donald trump to his face that trump's rhetoric — quote — "will lead to a rise in threats and ultimately a rise in violence." he meant towards journalists. do you echo those sentiments? i think he is correct, absolutely. the kind of rhetoric that has been used makes life more dangerous for journalists. it has already led to threats and it is a dangerous path to travel. the — one o

you have many friends and a network in the united states. to some in nicaragua, that makes you deeply suspect. deal will and i would understand their position. 20% of the nicaraguan population, for years, have been forced to flee their country because their lives have been at risk or because they haven't had any opportunity. at this point, i'm not trying to fight for my credibility. i'm putting myself in the public eye and i recognise that part of the population will see suspicions, you know. but some other people have been taking greater risks. so i'm fine with that kind of risk. you clearly are talking to the trump administration. as you say, it's not just about them, it's about the international community. but do you not worry that there is a very difficult message coming from the trump administration when it comes to relations with central america? if we think about what donald trump says about migrants coming from central america right now, mexico, they are mostly guatemalans and hondurans, i dare say there are some nicaraguans there to

i that you will see it from the united states does. you will be shopping on friday. it is black friday on friday. it is black friday on friday. thanks giving, and in some monday on monday. within this article in the guardian suggesting that we are going seed by friday sales down. the high street has been introducing black friday deals. full disclosure, i'm about to join introducing black friday deals. full disclosure, i'm about tojoin dixons carphone. they very have black friday deals for almost two weeks. there will have two weeks by black friday. the guarantee that any sales reductions to come back friday be met if you have gone out and purchase. so there should sure to improve. i think you will see a lot more happening on the lot, online, to 50%, perhaps. this article talks about the fact that why would you breathe the high street the hustle and bustle, when you consider home with a glass of wine and hope that your broadband is all right. exactly. at the comfort of your home. your son to see me that retailers aren't going to combine retailers aren't going to combi

china has1.3 between china and the united states. china has 1.3 billion people, 900 million internet users and the reason you see companies investing in china is that they want access to date huge domestic market and all of those people that are buying cars, sending their kids to school, healthcare. when these carrots started to kick m, when these carrots started to kick in, it is difficult for companies to change their behaviour? the computer and electronics, a lot of the factories will be set up, specialise to meet certain specifications, to fit into a telephone, computer and companies can change supplier chant: cannot do it overnight. -- supply chain. not any big impact yet. no, it has widened a little bit since the tariffs were introduced. they need an opening of services trade with china and there has not been any move on that and companies are not had time to rearrange that. lot of the strong language and rhetoric from donald trump, the threats about future tariffs, was in the run—up to the midterms. we will have results tomo

in a similar vein to what goes on in the united states. but in australia they are saying you are out of touch with our values and culture. this must have been seen as an easy win from virgin australia with a campaign in the media to start to recognise what service men and women do for the country. one of the ideas was, as you say, to recognise troops as they came on board. as soon as this was announced, the associations that represent those men and women said, many of these people are concerned about mental health issues following being in combat for example, they don't want to be called out. they would rather get on the plane and sit quietly and have a quiet journey. please, don't do this. don't highlight who they are. and also saying it goes against the nature of australians who feel that they should be able to serve and keep quiet about what they have done and actually the other airline in australia, qantas, has said we find it tricky because we admire what these people do, but in the end, what about paramedics, people who drive ambulan

the future direction of the united states of america is at stake in these mid—term elections. and a a prediction on what the outcome will be, we were here two years ago and it didn't work out so well. after four stabbings in five days, police say they'll step up patrols on the streets of london. east sussex becomes the latest council to cut key services to avoid a budget crisis. also coming up: preparations for the armistice centenary.

united states. these are for the most part incredibly sympathetic people that are fleeing horrific gang violence in that northern triangle region are looking for better opportunities for the children educationally or financially. the situation has been made worse by president trump's november eight proclamation requiring that all individuals that are applying for asylum do so at unofficial port of entry. that again is in complete contradiction to us law and our international obligations, which allowed individuals however the enter the united states, either loftily or through other than lawful means, to apply for asylum once they are in the united states. the reason is because the security situation of the people who are applying for asylu m the people who are applying for asylum in mexico at the moment is not good and therefore the odd to be able to come into the united states and apply from a situation which is more safes of what is the security situation? if you are camping out in this stadium, wh

states, which will include things like iphones, la pto ps, include things like iphones, laptops, all of those things — the us consumer is one of the biggest losers? the us consumer will be a big loserfrom all of losers? the us consumer will be a big loser from all of this for the simple reason prices will go up. look, this is my central argument, no one wins in a trade war. there is this general uncertainty in the world which is beginning to slow down economic growth, it is beginning to have an effect on foreign direct investment. in the end it ends up hitting the pockets of people who buy these things because tariffs have an impact on prices of cars, they in pack prices... look at general motors. absolutely. general motors is potentially a byproduct of that uncertainty as well. we are in a situation at the moment where there is an economic crisis created through the use of trade if you like asa through the use of trade if you like as a tool of foreign policy. so that is one of the big stories and it won't go away. talking of foreign policy, there is a lot riding on this 620 policy

so what kind of leadership does he think the united states needs now? general stanley mcchrystal, welcome to hardtalk. thanks for having me. divided country, now divided congress. what would you advise your commander—in—chief to do given the situation that faces him? well, i think, if the short term view was winning the 2016 election and then another short—term view was trying to hold on to what he had in the 2018 elections, i think right now he needs to take a long—term view and a long—term view means he has to think, not about his legacy, but about american values, about america's sustainability as a working democracy. i think that means you've got to bring people together. i think that means you've got to have get america to have a national conversation on leadership, because we have a crisis of leadership right now and, if we do not fix it, we're going to be in trouble. do you see him doing that? not a glimmer yet and i actually do not see enough leaders in america from either side — there is a little bit of rhetoric about it — but act

actually, the unites stated of america, like any nation, should control our borders. nobody should be able to cross our borders without our permission and agreement. it is hard to do but that should be the goal —period. that said, nations should be compassionate. we should have effective immigration laws. when you see a column of people that's made up of women, children and young men want to get across to avoid danger in guatemala and honduras, it is hard to consider them invaders. ok, now ,you've talked about the importance of a nation should be able to control its borders. president trump has sent thousands or will ultimately send, he says, 15,000 us soldiers to the border to control it. there has been some pushback from various senior military figures. would you be among them? i don't think it's the move that i would recommend. i think it also plays to emotion. i actually think it was designed to go before the mid—term elections to meet with the idea of invasion of this caravan, but it actually should be viewed separate from should we control our border? i thin

turn back now, because you're not coming into the united states unless you go through the process. cheering turn back. so, if you want more caravans and you want more crime, vote democrat. it's very simple. booing if you want strong borders and safe communities, vote republican. cheering along america's southern border, the first of thousands of troops have already arrived to defend this country against what the president has called an invasion. he's talking about this caravan of migrants from central america. they're still many weeks away from the us. this election, on the other hand, is only days away, and it's clear with this, and issues like iran, the president is trying to present a certain image. in washington, sunday was game day for american football fans, but they know the truly crucial contest will happen on tuesday. if we don't have a secure border, we don't have a secure country. we just need to get the republicans out. if you don't like something, vote. i don't want to hear any talk after. you're too late. it's a biggie. as barack obama knows all too well. in the midte

the united states will maintain its crimea—related sanctions against russia. further russian escalation of this kind will only make matters worse. to some, the incident is a reminder ofjust how dangerous the russia—ukraine conflict is. the war continues to be live, and the war could escalate any moment, while endangering the relationship between russia and the west. at sea and in the sky, russia has sent a clear message to ukraine and to the west — don't mess with moscow. steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. and there's plenty more detail on our website, including a background feature on ‘why the clash is fraught with risk for the world'. that's all at bbc.com/news — or download the bbc news app. general motors has announced plans to halt production at five factories in north america and cut more than 111,000 jobs. the move follows slower car sales and rising costs, partly caused by tariffs on imported steel introduced by president trump. the us carmaker is to focus on its line—up of trucks and electric and self—driving vehicles. david cohen, a profe

states. as such, many are now trying to decide whether their stories amount to what's known as credible fear among the us authorities, or if they would be better off trying to remain in mexico instead. this baby was born in mexico. his parents ran a bakery in el salvador and fled after gangs began to extort them for money. they believe they'd qualify for asylum in the us under credible fear, but this man has been deported once and admits he isn't sure what to do next. translation: i don't know what the consequences are of handing myself in. that's what i want to ask my lawyer. lawyers who know the us immigration system fear many migrants will arrive so poorly informed, they'll simply be sent back. we're trying to just give out general information without giving really important for people to understand their options. a small taste of home. it's been weeks since these travel—weary migrants enjoyed baleadas, traditional honduran tortillas filled with this cook is a honduran migrant, too, who

it's unfair to have the european security today being assured just by the united states, and we need a much better burden—sharing. i appreciate what you're saying about burden—sharing. you know what my attitude's been. and we want a strong europe. it's very important to us to have a strong europe. after leaving the elysee, mr trump pulled out of a visit to a cemetery for american servicemen, and faced criticism when his officials blamed the rain. tonight, world leaders attended a dinner in paris ahead of tomorrow's armistice centenary. elysee president macron wants to use the ceremony notjust to remember the dead but also to shine a light on the dangers that he believes nationalism can pose today. james landale, bbc news, paris. there's plenty more on all the stories we're covering on our website. that's at bbc.com/news, or download the bbc news app. just days after the us mid—term elections, the state of florida has announced there will be a recount of votes in the race for both the senate, and for governor, with the results too close to call. president trump was quick to reac

in the united states? well, the united states is in deep crisis. there is no opposition party, the democrats have no programme, they have no leader. and they have fallen into trump's trap ofjust attacking him. none of the main issues are debated. no alternative is offered. there is no solution? so, yes, he's in a fantastic position. saying that they have the house? they don't. 25 of the democrats are conservatives. who, in fact, asked the conservative leaders, luminaries like bernie sanders and elizabeth warren not to come to the constituencies. the us politics is not so black and white. they could side with the republicans. and in any case, trump does not have any domestic agenda now. he did that in the first term, in the first two years with tax cuts and all of the other things he has attempted to change, like 0bamacare. that has been stalled. now he will focus on foreign policy, because he controls the senate. one of the battle grounds appears to be immigration. are they going to give him his wall? but that is also good for donald trump. possibl

as the president said today, the united states will continue to have a relationship with the kingdom of saudi arabia, they are an important partner of ours. we will do that with the kingdom and its people and that is the commitment the president made today. mike pompeo speaking a short time ago. and for more on the congressional reaction we can speak now to republican congressman adam kinzinger who sits on the foreign affairs committee and joins us from illinois. i get the point about putting america's interests first and you have said you side with the president in supporting the relationship with saudi arabia. but is there growing concern in congress that actually, perhaps mohammad bin salman is not the best person for the united states to be backing. he has bungled the murder ofjamal khashoggi and the war in yemen is going on for a long time with civilians being killed and america being implicated. is that the right person right now for america to be backing? forget values and interests, it could be a question of competence, couldn't it? possibly. there are definitely conversation

the united states will maintain its crimea—related sanctions against russia. further russian escalation of this kind will only make matters worse. to some, the incident is a reminder ofjust how dangerous the russia—ukraine conflict is. the war continues to be live, and the war could escalate any moment, while endangering the relationship between russia and the west. at sea and in the sky, russia has sent a clear message to ukraine and to the west — don't mess with moscow. steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. we will get more analysis and that stand—off little later in the programme. for reaction and analysis from around the uk and around the world, including updated live pages, reports from correspondents based in over 80 locations around the globe, that's all at bbc.com/news. it's two months since a powerful earthquake and tsunami hit the indonesian island of sulawesi. hundreds of children were separated from their families and more than 2,000 people died, with large areas being declared mass graves. but as rebecca henschke reports, in recent weeks there

the maximum pressure exerted by the united states is only going to mount from here. there are 700 individuals, banks, oil exporters, shipping companies, and others on the sanctions target list. there are some exemptions. eight countries including china, south korea and japan and italy have been given temporary waivers, as they are major importers of iranian oil. also, the uk, germany and france, which are still committed to the nuclear deal, have all promised to help european firms to do business in iran. bbc persian's rana rahimpour. it'll have a huge impact because many of that european banks are dealing with the united states and they are too worried about being fined because many are forced to pay millions sometimes billions in finder. especially after doing trade with iran under previous sanctions, and even before the united states left the nuclear deal, many were refusing to work with iran, so now we might have smaller deep banks in europe who might be encouraged to work with iran, but on a larger scale it's very unlikely they'll do it, that'll touch anything r

states. for president of the united states. what he saw as an unforgivable act of disloyalty. of disloyalty. fired, to the consternation of democrats. consternation of democrats. greatly limiting the robert mueller investigation. investigation. the president sees the probe as an existential threat. the probe as an existential threat. he said that he does not have an attorney general. this tweet was typical... typical... when, not ifjeff sessions left the post. post. the president moved quickly after the mid—term elections. has to deal with now. his republican party has tightened its grip on the senate. on the trump presidency. of defiance at his post mid—term news conference. he was aglow with his own achievements. i think it was a great victory. i'll be honest. a great victory. but not all the press. oversight role on the white house. and cnn in particular. it was roughhouse stuff. that's enough. put down the mike. mr president, are you worried about indictments from this investigation? cnn should be ashamed of itself, having you working for them. and you shouldn't be working for cnn.

when i came to the united states 30 something years ago — 31 years ago — i told the man who would later become my husband, willie, isaid, this is a fascinating country, willie, but it is also a very potentially fascist country. and he said, what are you talking about? this is the cradle of democracy. and i said, yeah but look at the south, look at the middle of the country, look at segregation, the mental segregation of people because, even if the country got over slavery and got over segregation, it is still rooted in the culture and the hearts of so many people. so he denied it completely then. now he admits that i was right from the very beginning. and i think that the white population that supports trump feels very threatened by anything that defies or threatens their privileges or their superiority or the fact that they have been in control always. that is shifting also, and it is very scary. but donald trump would says that he is lowering taxes and increasing employment, and that leads to a better... yeas, but lowering taxes for the rich. it is true that there is more employment b

everyone is waiting for a deal between china and the united states. so can we expect anything relevant to come out of the 620 meeting before the two leaders meet? the most important thing right now is to ensure the kind of conversation exists between the two sides shifts in terms of mode of engagement. it has to shift from a mode of threats and accusations, finger—pointing, to one of finding solutions. i think both sides understand what their concerns are. we already know what is bothering the two sides. what we need to figure out now is how do we find solutions and how do we find a way forward in light of the concerns that both sides have? what we need to figure out now is how do we find solutions and how do we find a way forward in light of the concerns that both sides have? with us is janet, mui, 6lobal economist at cazenove capital. roberto azevedo speaking to the bbc exclusively. with us is janet mui, 6lobal economist at cazenove capital. thanks forjoining us. the 620 summit is in its tenth year and is a forum that was intended to secure global

the united states featured again in the headlines of thursday's news at one, but it was the precise wording here, which caught the ear of another viewer. emboldened by success in the midterm elections, donald trump fires his attorney general, and bans a cnn reporter from the white house. ian gilmore seized on a phrase used by clive myrie there, asking: that same bulletin at 1.00 on thursday attracted criticism for leading on the line from prince charles, in a documentary to mark his 70th birthday, that he would stop speaking out on topics he feels strongly about when he become king. strongly about when he becomes king. the item ended like this. and the prince, son and heir: charles at 70, will be shown on bbc one at 9.00 tonight and it will be available after that on the bbc iplayer. john sadler objected to the news priority shown by the bulletin‘s running order. he recorded this video for us. i was appalled to see that the top story was about prince charles, when he became king. the second item on the news was about 12 people being shot dead in a massacre in california. i think the reaso

his name is not on the ballot anywhere across the united states, but the forthcoming elections are all about donald trump. he's put himself at the absolute centre of this campaign, hurtling around the country energetically. and so it's impossible to avoid the conclusion that the results of tomorrow's midterm elections will be a referendum on his presidency. today he was in ohio. everything we have created and achieved is at stake on election day, it is. if the radical democrats take power, they will take a wrecking ball to our economy and to our future. the issue that's grabbed more attention than any other is this, the caravan of immigrants making their way up from central america and heading towards the us border. the president has deployed thousands of troops and fearsome rhetoric. "america is about to be invaded," he says. fear mongering, say his opponents. getting fewer headlines is health care, but arguably of far greater concern to many more americans. the administration stands accused of watering down people's ability to get insurance cover if they have pre—existing condition

the latest headlines: the united states authorities say they will prevent people who illegally enter the country from claiming asylum. a former us marine with suspected mental health problems has been identified as the gunman who killed 12 people at a bar in california. now it's time to look at the stories that are making the headlines in the media across the world. we're going to begin with vox. it's leading with the latest us policy to limit asylum for migrants, and it calls it donald trump's "most legally dicey immigration move yet". that is the quote over at vox. the front page of the independent has a rather alarming messge from the eu, which expects britain to have the weakest growth in the bloc over the next two years. the top story on the scottish daily mail looks at how scottish children are to become the very first in the world to be given gay rights lessons in the classroom. and the new york times international edition features a story on how, from the working from a populist playbook, italy is now loosening its gun laws — a move that would've been unthinkable not even t

the united states will continue to have a relationship with the kingdom of saudi arabia. there are important partner of ours. donald trump's statement took aim at iran — and the country's foreign minister was quick to respond mr trump bizarrely devotes the first paragraph of his shameful statement on saudi atrocities to accuse iran of every sort of malfeasance he can think of. perhaps we're also responsible for the california fires, because we didn't help rake the forests just like the finns do?" decidedly unimpressed. here's lyce doucet in riyadh. some people saying this is not so much a change in policy asjust america saying out loud what it has done for some time, what would you say to that? i think from the very beginning even since donald trump ran for election of the united states the saudi is a saw in him an ally, are very important strategic partner. i was here shortly after president trump came to power and whatever the criticisms across the muslim world president trump a man that we can deal with, you may not like him but he speaks the truth and i think tonigh

states from the central americans, who are walking thousands of miles to the united states border than we see in other parts of the world. and that is simply an exaggerated version of reality. i was born and raised along the texas border. these are communities that have long—standing cross—border ties, family ties, and economic ties, family ties, and economic ties, and through more boots on the ground, if you will, is that they not improve conditions there. immigration and crime and one of the links that may be between them like your specialist areas of study. what would you say to the president about that area? migrants by and large commit fewer priced the native born us citizens. if you want to make our community sector, which actually encourage and lock them more immigrants into our cities across the united states. interesting to talk to. thank you very much. thank you, mike. president trump is imposing new sanctions on venezuela — a country already in crisis, even though it has the largest oil reserves in the world. it's all increasing pressure on president nicolas maduro. a

it comes as thousands of central americans continue to make their way towards the united states‘ southern border. in a wide—ranging speech ahead of next week's congressional elections, donald trump said he is finalising plans to overhaul the immigration system. but his language has been criticised by many, including senior figures within his own party. our north america editor, jon sopel reports. it feels as though america is going on to a war footing. thousands of troops are being mobilised. destination — the southern border. the enemy — men, women, and children winding their way up through mexico. 15,000 soldiers are being deployed to stop immigrants on foot from entering the united states — illegally, says the president. and with five days to go until crucial congressional elections, this issue has taken on a deeply political hue. at this very moment, large well—organised caravans of migrants are marching towards our southern border. some people call it an invasion. it's like an invasion. they have violently overrun the mexican border. you saw that two days ago. these are tou
