Frustrated by labours lack of progress on its brexit position while the head of the unite union asks thatJeremy Corbyn is given more time. And coming up at a30 witness history looks back to the uprising by members of the Lgbt Community in new york that inspired the creation of the modern gay rights movement. Hello. Good afternoon. Donald trump has become the First American president to set foot on north korean territory. He visited the demilitarised area between north and south korea, where he shook hands with the norths leader, kimjong un. Our seoul correspondent, laura bicker, sent this report. Unconventional . Maybe. Unpredictable . Definitely. Buta meeting arranged via president ial twitter has just ensured that these two men a place in history. Donald trump did not just two men a place in history. Donald trump did notjust take one step into hostile territory. He took 20. Before returning south over the official military line which separates the two koreas. He may be a showman by nature but a last minute scramble to arrange this event meant news outlets fought for their close up. President trump has just walked across the demarcation line. That made him the first us president to visit our country. I just want to say that this is my honour. I did not really expect it. We were injapan for the 620, we came over and i said, hey, i am over here, i want to talk to chairman kim, and we got to meet, and stepping across that line was a great honour. A lot of progress has been made. A lot of friendships have been made, and this has been, in particular, a great friendship, so i just want to thank you. That was very quick notice and i want to thank you. And it seems that more invitations may be forthcoming. I would invite him right now. To the white house. The two held talks behind closed doors. The meeting was supposed to last two minutes. Instead, they took nearly an hour. They held a press conference where mr trump acknowledged that his twitter invitation could have gone horribly wrong. I want to thank chairman kim for something else. When i put out the social media notification, if he did not show up, the press was going to make me look very bad, so you made us both look good and i appreciate it. The drama did not end there. The farewell wave was lost in the chaos. As President Trump leaves, critics have described his big moment asa photo op, fake diplomacy, reality tv politics, and that there has been very little mention of the word denuclearisation, but others, including seouls president moon, believe that this, after nearly 70 years, could lead to peace on the peninsula. Once the meeting was over, donald trump appeared alongside his south korean host, president moon. He explained to the press that sanctions would be on the agenda for any future talks. I do not like sanctions being on this country. I am looking forward, but the sanctions remain, yes. But at some point during the negotiation, things can happen and that is when we will be talking about sanctions, 0k . Once again, the us president may face criticism this meeting was more style than substance. But it is another fresh start. The hope here in south korea is that this time it will not be a false one. Laura bicker, bbc news. Our correspondent Stephen Mcdonell is in the south korean capital, seoul. Earlier he gave this analysis of todays events at the korean border. President donald trump is right when he says that this is history in the making. He knows that for decades to come people will remember that moment when a United States president stepped across that frontier to shake hands with a north Korean Leader and then the two of them coming back across the border to sit down with the president of south korea in this friendly atmosphere, to talk about peace and the future, you know, potential Nuclear Disarmament on the peninsula here. The us says that we are now going to move to these talks, at least preliminary talks, to get that whole process going again, to move towards denuclearisation. But really, are we any closer to denuclearisation today . In fact, some analysts have argued that things are the other way around. Some serious north korea watchers think this is the First Step Towards washington actually recognising north korea as a Nuclear Armed state. Then again, you have the president of south korea, moonjae in, he says there is no path towards peace other than dialogue and for that reason, hes welcomed this impromptu. We are led to believe it was impromptu, this impromptu meeting with kim jong un. He came to power here, in this landslide victory, saying that he was going to steer this country towards dialogue with the north. And for that reason he would argue that this has been the right path to take. Because despite there being no denuclearisation, at least theres less tension, there is less talk of war on the korean peninsula, like there was just a few years ago. Analysis of that meeting. Lets go live to the scenes in birmingham, where a rally is happening for the brexit party. This is to confirm the candidates for the general election. The partys leader, nigel farage, has described the event as being the biggest rally to date for the party. That is happening right now, live in birmingham at the nec. Lets bring in chris mason, a Political Correspondent. Given their showing in the european elections, it is quite a high bar and lots of pressure, but lots of interest in how they will do in the general election. Yes, and what is interesting looking at these pictures, the event does seem to be on the scale they were suggesting in advance that it would be, talk of up to 5000 people could be, talk of up to 5000 people could be there. 0ver be, talk of up to 5000 people could be there. Over the next 1. 5 hours, they will be setting out some of their candidates for the next general election, and some of their policy priorities. The party leader, nigel farage, was tweeting a picture of himself in the back of a car en route to birmingham earlier on. At the moment they are able to i at the moment they are able to i at the moment, they are able to present a very clear view on brexit. We saw this a few weeks ago. It will not be a view that everyone lives, the idea of embracing brexit without an overarching agreement with the European Union, but the big difference between their clarity and that of the two big westminster parties, the conservatives and labour, we have seen this again and again, they cannot be as clear because of internal contradictions. We have seen that in the labour party today and the distinction betweenJohn Mcdonnell, the shadow chancellor, and Len Mccluskey, the leader of the unite union, and what they have been saying. There have been disagreements within the conservative party over brexit winners nigel farage and his very new party, only around for a couple of months, they are clean and their central convictions, and at the moment they are successful as well. Stay with us for a moment. You referred to the tory leadership candidates and they have been outlining their spending plans. Borisjohnson said hed be prepared to borrow for great Infrastructure Projects and use financial headroom to invest and cut taxes. If you look at february alone, the chancellors revenues exceeded his expenditures by 11. 5 billion. In february, that is when people tend to pay tax. If you look at different months, actually you are in deficit. Believe me, there is cash now available. Are you prepared to see borrowing go up . I think at the moment, there is the headroom available and we intend to use it, and i also think that you can do some great things to stimulate Economic Growth with tax cuts. Let me ask a simple question, are you prepared to see borrowing go up . If it is borrowing to finance great Infrastructure Projects. VeryJohn Mcdonnell of you. And there is the opportunity to borrow at low rates to do things for the Long Term Benefit of the country, then we should do that. And jeremy hunt pledged to make Cutting Corporation tax a priority, warning that a no deal brexit would delay some spending pledges. A no deal brexit is not my first choice, but in the end, if the only way to leave the European Union is without a deal. Let me finish, andrew. If the only way to leave the European Union is without a deal, then i would do that and we will make a success of it and we will protect the union but we would have to be very sensitive to the concerns that people like David Mundell raised, because youre absolutely right, it would not be popular in scotland. I do not understand how it can both be the union first every time, and being prepared to endanger that by going for a no deal brexit. Those two things must be in contradiction . No, because it is not a question of choosing one or the other. It may well be. No, it is not. It is a question of choosing a Prime Minister who has the capability to deliver both. Another weekend and the two candidates once again trying to show how they are different from each other, to put clear blue water between them. They are, but in reality, and it is no surprise given they are to conservatives who have sat round the cabinet table together at various points over the last few years, they have a broadly similar approach. The biggest distinction, both are making spending promises and talking about tax cuts come on the face of it that isa tax cuts come on the face of it that is a contradiction, not always a contradiction, but you get that in political campaigns, the big distinction between them is around brexit and the tolerance or not to accept further delay to the idea of the uk departing the European Union. Borisjohnson the uk departing the European Union. Boris johnson saying the uk departing the European Union. Borisjohnson saying the uk will leave in october the 31st, the current deadline, jeremy hunt saying there are circumstances in which he would be willing to delay of the deal was imminent. He acknowledges that a no deal brexit is something he would be willing to entertain. We will see more of these gentlemen over the next few weeks, three weeks until the process is complete. The ballot papers will go to conservative Party Members inside the next week. In mind, they will have the breakthrough that they saw with the brexit party in the european elections, and this question keeps coming back about would they be willing to do some sort of a deal if it came to that . The brexit party is clearly a big entity in terms of speaking the conservatives. It is central to the pitch of Boris Johnson conservatives. It is central to the pitch of borisjohnson throughout this race, he thinks he is the biggest electoral asset to the conservatives in taking on the brexit party and Jeremy Corbyn and labour, and the resurgent liberal democrats, in recent months. Jeremy hunt says he would be a better negotiator with brussels in terms of trying to get a better deal. Both are saying they would not work with nigel farage and the brexit party. They have argued that given their success in the European Parliament elections, they should be part of the negotiating team wants a new government is put together next month. Conservatives from the grassroots up to the leadership candidates will look at the pictures we have shown you from birmingham a couple of moments ago and be very, very aware that if there is a general election soon, both contenders think they do not want one anytime soon, but it is not impossible to imagine a scenario in which one happens in the next year, but if brexit is not delivered, the brexit party could potentially perform very well and it would certainly frighten the conservatives and labour in terms of how well could perform. Thank you very much indeed. The shadow chancellor, John Mcdonnell, says labour needs to move now towards support for another brexit referendum. Mr mcdonnell, who wants the party to adopt a remain position, said Jeremy Corbyn was still trying to build consensus with the trade unions on the issue. Heres our Political Correspondent tom barton. Theyre two ofJeremy Corbyns closest lieutenants, John Mcdonnell, his shadow chancellor, and Len Mccluskey, the leader of the unite union, labours biggest financial backer and a close ally of the partys leader. But over brexit they are divided. In the last few months, John Mcdonnell has become one of a number of members of the shadow cabinet to move towards supporting another referendum. And today, he admitted that he was a little bit frustrated that the partys policy hasnt done the same. Weve all agreed that we have to go back to the people. Yes, of course, we want a general election but we have to go back to the people on any deal or no deal, most probably in a referendum. And im almost certain, in a referendum. The discussion then is about what attitude should labour take. I have said publicly i would vote remain, id campaign for remain. But that other big beast of labour politics Len Mccluskey says the party needs to look before it leaps, suggesting John Mcdonnell was panicking. I dont believe there is a panic, and my message to everybody is stop panicking. Stop putting pressure onJeremy Corbyn. Hes demonstrating real leadership by seeking a consensus view across our party. Jeremy corbyn, change your mind it is notjust in labours top ranks where there is a discussion taking place over the partys brexit policy. Some members are calling for the party to take a stronger remain position. Others say the referendum result needs to be respected. But these two men will be key to how labour finally resolves this tricky debate. The headlines on bbc News Donald Trump says its a great day for the world after his walk across the border between north and south korea. A baby delivered after its mother was stabbed to death remains in a Critical Condition in hospital. Two men have been arrested on suspicion of murder.

Millions of people have descended on the streets of new york this weekend as part of a series of events to celebrate the citys annual lgbt pride. It follows the 50th anniversary of the iconic stonewall riots earlier this week, seen by many as the start of the International Gay rights movement. 0ur lgbt correspondent ben hunte reports. Just give us a sense of what the day has been like, the big parade, the focus for everyone . Yes, new york has always been seen as one of the leading destinations for lgbt pride. This weekend is set to be one of the biggest ever with an estimated 6 Million People expected to be marching along the streets. The air is filled with a sense of equality, inclusion, diversity and pride. It is worth noting there are two pride parades happening at this minute in new york city. One is the traditional new york city pride, big corporations, big floats, lots of noise and love in the air. But the other is reclaim pride and they are pushing for a heritage approach. They want people to remember the heritage of pride and the rights that took place. That is a stripped back approach to pride but both are happening right now. With the amount of changes over the past 50 years in terms of lg bt of changes over the past 50 years in terms of lgbt equality, many activists are wondering what the next 50 years will hold. |j activists are wondering what the next 50 years will hold. I suppose folsom people, pride is a celebration, a chance to celebrate the rights that have been won. But for others, it is still a very political protest and a reminder that in many parts of the world, people do not enjoy the rights that some others have . Yes, you make a really good point, especially within the us as well. We are in new york at the moment, it is very woke city, people are celebrating equality. But in several American Cities it is certainly not that way. The two pride parades taking place in new york are a reminder of that. The reclaim pride march are marching through the streets behind me and they had trans activist protesters, people from iran i think are having their first people from iran i think are having theirfirst ride people from iran i think are having their first ride float within the march. So there is a sense we need to remember the origins of pride and activism pushing for that message this year. With an event like this and the numbers there, presumably security is a concern is it . Yes, very much so. Around 46 Million People expected to be lining the streets. There are police everywhere, and it is worth remembering that the origins of pride where lgbt people fighting against the police. The police were invading lgbt spaces. So the reclaim pride march, they are not allowing Police Presence within the protest because they are saying the police have been Holding People back in terms of the riots and their freedoms. Where is the main new york pride marks, the police will have floats on the Fire Department would have floats on the fire service will have floats on the fire service will have floats. There is a huge Police Presence, so whichever march you go to, there is either a lesser police or more police. Thank you very much live from new york. Sir David Attenborough today received applause worthy of any headliner as he spoke at glastonbury festival. The 93 year old thanked the crowd for going plastic free during the festival.

Some showers continue through the night, particularly to the north and west of scotland, but some returning to Northern Ireland and Northern England later. Southern and eastern areas, seeing the best of the breaks in the cloud and temperatures into your monday morning commute between ten and 1a celsius. As we go into the night, clearer skies further east and later into Northern England. For your morning commute tomorrow, temperatures ten to 14 commute tomorrow, temperatures ten to 1a degrees. Not desperately cold but a fresh enough start for many. It will feel fresher because of the strength of the wind, which will be going ina strength of the wind, which will be going in a more north westerly direction as this weather front moves southward slowly, bringing showery rain to the north and west of scotland, Northern Ireland and Northern England initially but if few showers in the morning into north wales and the midlands.
