Hello and welcome. Theres anticipation building as President Trump and chinas xijinping are due to meet shortly at the 620 summit injapan. The two countries are of course currently locked in a bitter trade war which is threatening to escalate. All eyes are on whether this meeting can break the deadlock or at least offer Global Markets some relief. Ourjapan correspondent, Rupert Wingfield hayes is at the summit in osaka. How likely is it that the two sides will reach any sort of agreement . I dont think we will see this trade dispute dissolved resolved during this very brief meeting, between xi jinping and donald trump, but there is some hope that perhaps a truce can be called and concessions will be made by either side that will allow their trade teams to get back to the table, where they have not been for the last month or so. As they work out the details of any bilateral trade agreement. This is really important because since the end of last year the us and china have imposed swingeing tariffs on each others products, chinas economy is slowing, there is a fear that could become contagious and spread to the rest of the world, so i think there is a great desire by all the World Leaders here to see these two giants, the first and second largest economies in the world, at least event their trade dispute, their trade war, from getting any worse and perhaps leave an opening for the trade deal, the trade teams to get back together. Something else everyone is looking out, donald trump is heading to south korea after this, and he has tweeted an interesting invitation to the north korean leader. Thats right, it came out of the blue this morning, before this trip we had been led to understand that donald trump had no intention of making any approach to north korea or having any meetings with the north korean regime. Out of the blue this morning donald trump tweeted that he was willing to go to the dmc, the demilitarised zone, the border between north and south korea, during his trip later today and tomorrow, and as if chairman kim is willing to come down to the border he would be willing to have a meeting with him. Dmz. That came asa meeting with him. Dmz. That came as a real surprise, when viral gcioss as a real surprise, when viral across twitter and everyone is talking about it, but we dont know if there is actually a conversation going on behind the scenes or if this is actually going to happen, or whether donald trump woke up this morning and decided it would be a nice thing to do. We will be there and ijust put out a feeler, because i dont know where he is right now, he may not be in north korea, but i said that if chairman kim wants to meet i will be at the border, it certainly we seem to get along very well, i can tell you, that is a good thing, not a bad thing. For the stupid people that say oh, he gets along, it is good to get along. President trump later reiterated that this would just be, he was just putting out feelers, if they meant it would just be for a few minutes. So no one is quite sure at the moment whether this is really going to happen and how official this is, and even if kimjong un has any idea that this invitation has been put out there. Rupert, no doubt we will catch up with you as president she and president jumpstart with you as president she and president jumpstart their meeting with you as president she and president jumpstart their meeting president jumpstart their meeting president xi and President Trump started their meeting.

The eu says the agreement with argentina, brazil, paraguay and uruguay will create a market for goods and Services Covering almost eight hundred Million People and produce more than a hundred billion dollars in trade between the two blocs. 0ur south America Business correspondent daniel 6allas has more. Its been 20 years in the making and now it has finally been announced. Europe and south america have closed one of the largest free trade deals in the world, tariffs are being scrapped to ease trade in a combined market of over 800 million consumers. For years there was distrust from both sides european farmers campaigned for tariffs and subsidies in order to block Cheaper Products from the south. Manufacturers in countries like argentina and brazil also relied on trade barriers to limit competition, but negotiators say a deal has been reached in which all can benefit. In terms of tariff saving its also unprecedented. When fully in operation it will save, from the european side, companies up to four billion duties at the border, thats four times as much as with japan. Protectionism is on the rise globally, with brexit and the growing trade war between china and the United States, politicians and south america and europe were keen to stress that the deal is also a message to World Leaders who say protectionism is the way to save jobs. This is an historical moment. Historical not only for the moment we are living in the world in which we have to show commitment to integration, multilateralism, opening of the markets, free trade, trade routes. It took 20 years to reach this far. Now there will be testy months ahead as the deal is put to parliament in member states.

A rally is taking place in new york to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the birth of the l6bt movement. Thousands of activists from around the world have gathered in greenwich village. The rally is in a park near the Stonewall Inn, the gay bar where exactly 50 years ago patrons rose up against police harrassement, giving birth to a national and Global Movement in support of equal rights. 0ur l6bt correspodent, ben hunte, is there. It was on these streets in new york 50 years ago where many people say the modern l6bt Rights Movement was born. The Stonewall Inn gay bar was raided by police and that kicked off several nights of violent protests across the city. Just a year later, and america had its first gay pride march. Today, the Stonewall Inn is Still Standing and still serving and many people are out celebrating in the streets for world pride this weekend. Its estimated there will be around 4 6 million extra people in new york just to celebrate this weekend. Of course, many young people dont need the same facilities as the Stonewall Inn, they dont need to hide away because they are accepted as l6bt people but these places are a constant reminder of the struggles that did take place 50 years ago, to get to where we are today.

A coroner in the uk says hes not convinced that Security Services and police missed any opportunities to prevent a terror attack on London Bridge two years ago. The inquests into the deaths of eight people concluded that they were unlawfully killed in the van and knife attack. But the chief coroner of england and wales said he would not criticise mi5 and the police but did highlight a lack of barriers on the bridge. Daniel sandford reports. It was a happy summer night on London Bridge that turned to horror in an instant. Christine delcros and herfiance, xavier thomas, were enjoying a romantic visit from paris when a white van did a u turn and drove deliberately and at speed onto the wide, unprotected pavement. Christine is still recovering from serious injuries, but xavier was knocked off the bridge and did not survive. Canadian tourist Chrissy Archibald was also killed. Today, as he ended the London Bridge inquest, the chief coroner said that the system for assessing the bridge after the Manchester Arena terror attack proved wanting. The inquest heard that one of the killers, khuram butt, had been identified by mi5 two years earlier as someone who might attack the uk. Even his own brother in law had warned Counter Terrorism police about him and there had been bureaucratic errors. But the coroner was not convinced that mi5 had missed a chance to prevent the attack. The father of Alexandre Pigeard and other bereaved families disagree. We are now aware that there were a lot of missed opportunities to neutralise at least one of the attackers, who was known as very dangerous. So i think this attack could have been preventable. He then embraced the off duty nurse, helen kennett, who tried to save his son and was herself stabbed in the neck. And i want to thank so much helen for her courage. Police conceded they had made some errors with khuram butt. We know certain things could have been done differently. But after careful consideration the chief coroner has found that the pre attack investigation was, nonetheless, thorough and rigorous. The coroner also criticised khuram butts family, saying thats mad. That is terrorists. After ploughing through pedestrians on the bridge, the van crashed and the killers got out. Each carrying a weapon for the next stage of the attack. With 12 inch knives strapped to their wrists, moving swiftly and as a pack, the men cornered and then attacked their victims two here at the top of the stairs, two further down the stairs, and a fifth at the end of the courtyard near the entrance to the boro bistro. In less than a minute they had fatally injured five of their victims just in this small area. On a night of heroes, James Mcmullan died trying to help sara zelenak. Kirsty boden died trying to save Alexandre Pigeard. Passers by and Police Officers desperately tried to keep Sebastian Belanger alive, while the attackers moved on, still knifing anyone they came across. Off duty pc charlie 6uenigault took them on unarmed, earning himself the george medal. I remember them thrusting towards me with their knives, getting out of the way, obviously this happened within seconds, and getting stabbed in the back. Ive dropped to the floor, dropped straight onto my bum, he stands above me and he stabs me three times in the head. The last person the men killed was ignacio echeverria, stabbed outside the restaurant two and a half minutes after the attack started. Just inside the restaurant was junior doctorjohnny moses. He told me a man at the door was trying to stop him leaving for his own safety. I said, you have to let me out, im a doctor, i cant watch them die, i cant watch them bleed to death. And we were having this argument, i was getting very frustrated. I understood him, but i just had to get out. I said, let me out and then you can close the door and lock it afterwards. Working with Police Officers, he was able to save marie bondeville, who was stabbed 18 times. The killers rampaged through Borough Market for another 7 minutes, still attacking people, but failing to kill any more. They were in the process of stabbing antonio filis when armed officers arrived and shot them dead.

Followed quickly by an even higher peak, almost 46 degrees, near montpellier the hottest france has ever been. Translation ijust stay at home with the fan on and the windows closed. Translation there are fewer people at 11 in the morning there is nobody about. The last time france broke temperature records, more than a decade ago, it was august. What makes this heatwave unusual is notjust the high temperatures, its how early its come. The government has published a video showing people how to keep cool and asked for safety announcements on trains in both french and english. But these few days of hot weather arent expected to spark the kind of Health Crisis france has seen in the past. And some accuse the government of acting like a nanny state. The warning from across the border, though heat poses more than one kind of risk. Forest fires that began in spain on wednesday were still outpacing emergency crews today. All this sparked by farm waste left to heat in the scorching sun carelessness turned to catastrophe, in the words of one official. Dozens of wildfires have now appeared in the hottest parts of france. In paris, the Health Minister expressed frustration at those ignoring government advice. This heatwave testing the state for its vigilance, its citizens for their famed sangfroid. Lucy williamson, bbc news, paris.

A white supremacist in the us has been sentenced to life in prison for driving his car into a crowd of people two years ago. James fields targeted anti racism protestors who were demonstrating at a White Nationalist rally in charlottesville, virginia. He killed one person and injured more than two dozen others in the attack. The case stirred racial tensions around the us and the President Donald Trump was criticized for his response. Barbara plett usher reports. James fields carried out the attack during a rally of White Nationalists protesting plans to remove the statue of a confederate 6eneral, robert e lee. Using his car as a weapon, he killed one of the counter protesters, heather heyer, and injured others. As a result of this act of domestic terrorism that was charged as 29 hate crimes, a United States district judge this afternoon determined that mr fields deserved to spend the rest of his life in federal prison and imposed that sentence. He avoided the Death Penalty by pleading guilty to 29 counts of hate crime and apologised for the hurt and loss hed caused. Miss heyers parents were present at the sentencing. They said they forgave mr fields but her mother susan said his case sent a strong message that there were consequences for hate crimes. The last time i saw my daughter was to identify her body and to sign the papers for her to be cremated. And i held her bruised hand and bruised arm and i said im gonna make this count for you. And thats what ive done. And i will continue to do. You dont get to knock my child down and silence that voice without 500 more raising up. The rally was a critical moment in the rise of the far right movement. Since then public gatherings of White Supremacists have drawn smaller crowds. President trump was harshly criticised by his ambivalent response of the dispute between the neo nazis and the protesters, saying there were fine people on both sides.

Eitherjo swinson, or ed davey will take over from sir vince cable, at the end ofjuly. With more, heres our political correspondent, jonathan blake. Working hard for every vote. Campaigning in cambridge and london today, jo swinson and ed davey going head to head in the race to be the new leader of the liberal democrats. And tonight Party Members in good spirits after recent success in the european elections came to hear both candidates make their pitch. So who are they . Ed davey was first elected in 1997 as mp for kingston and surbiton, a former energy and climate secretary in the Tory Coalition government wants to focus on the environment and this week he revealed he was once approached to work for mi6. I want our party to be pro eu, to tackle the climate emergency, but i want our party to be compassionate and as we stop brexit we need to heal the divisions in our country. We need to reach out to leave areas and leave communities to bring our country together. Jo swinson is the partys deputy leader and was first elected as mp for East Dunbartonshire in 2005. She wants a new liberal movement to challenge the forces of nationalism and populism. In her spare time she is a keen marathon runner. We have a golden opportunity in front of us right now. The country is crying out for a liberal movement to be the alternative, to take on the forces of nationalism, populism, the likes of borisjohnson and nigel farage, and the liberal democrats must be at the heart of that movement. Who is going to get your vote, and why . I think at the moment its going to be jo swinson. I think shes got a really good Media Presence and i think that the lib dems need that in a leader. Im thinking of backing ed davey, because i thought while jos pitch was very aspirational, i thought eds was more heavy on detail. The winner of this contest will be announced at the end ofjuly.

Thousands of nearby residents were evacuated from their homes before the explosive tear down. James reynolds reports. At nine oclock this morning, 6enoa got ready to bring down the remains of the morandi bridge.

The pile of dust covered the entire area. The operation was a success. Translation at 9 37 the bridge came down, procedures have been strictly followed, and plans are on track. Man shouting. Italy is still recovering from the partial collapse of the bridge last summer. The structure fell when decaying cables, encased in concrete, snapped. An investigation in who is to blame has yet to reach its conclusions. The country has already begun work on a replacement bridge designed by the countrys most famous architect, renzo piano. This is what it will look like. The government says the new structure is expected to be ready by next year.

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first man on the moon, nasa has spent 5 million to restore the mission hq to its original condition, much to the delight of the apollo 11 flight leader 6ene kranz. It was dazzling, overwhelmed. You couldnt believe this. All of a sudden, you were 50 years younger and you wanted to work in that. I wanted to walk back into that room and work. Mission control three, two, one, lift off. While working in the former control room wont be possible, visitors will be able to step back in time and its hoped the experience will encourage the next era of space exploration. Many have left us, and for the apollo generation, our time is rapidly coming to an end. I pray that the room you will be going into will continue to inspire and drive the current future teams to complete the work that we began.

Friday was a hot one in the west of the uk, saturday is going to be hotter across eastern parts of the country. Still nowhere near as hot as france here is a reminder of that record breaking temperature set on friday in southern france, nearly 46 celsius, smashing the previous record set in august 2003 of 44. 1. Across europe, still very hot, you can see these deep red colours, temperatures into the 30s across much of the continent, the heat is actually going to be shifting eastwards over the next few days, and then it will start to turn cooler. Back to the uk, in england on saturday, temperatures could get up to 34 celsius, that is just in one or two spots, for most of us it wont be quite so hot but it will feel very muggy already from the morning onwards, first thing in the morning on saturday in the south, temperatures could be around 16 17, a little fresher in the north east of england. On saturday there will be a lot more cloud across western parts of the uk, so here it wont be quite so hot, the heat is going to ease, in fact showers and thunderstorms are possible in Northern Ireland and scotland, but across england, the heat is going to intensify. Look at these deep red colours temperatures in excess of 30 degrees are expected in yorkshire and possibly 34 in the south east of the country. But in western scotland, a significant drop. Showers and thunderstorms across parts of scotland may rumble through during the course of saturday evening, whereas across many parts of england it will be a balmy, if not hot, hot end of the day. If you dont like the heat, here is the good news sunday is going to be much, much fresher, a cool front is set to sweep across the country, it will cut off that hot wind out of france and instead we will see a westerly wind blowing, so we can see yellow colours here indicating the cool air and that heatwave transfers into more central and eastern parts of eastern germany and poland, where temperatures could approach 40 celsius. Here is sundays weather forecast. You can see the wind blowing no longer out of the south, it is blowing out of the atlantic, a fresh breeze around western coasts, showers as well, still pretty warm in the south, temperatures around 25 celsius, low 20s across yorkshire, but in stornaway a mere 15 degrees an atlantic breeze and some showers.
