Analysis on the President Trump visit and nato meeting. Five women who allege they were abused byJeffrey Epstein urge Prince Andrew to testify in their cases. The 12 year old boy killed yesterday when a car ploughed into a group of children near a school in essex is named as Harley Watson. Coming up on afternoon live, all the sport with holly hamilton. Weve got a full midweek calendar of premier League Fixtures coming up over the next few days weve been hearing frmo the managers, including an under pressure Manchester United boss. More at 2. 30. Thanks holly, and stav danaos has all the weather. Thank you, there is a change on the cards, today might be settled, mostly dry, but cold, it will be turning milder later on in the week, but thats only half the story, i will have all the details in around half an hour. Also coming up our live coverage from enniskillen, annita. Thats right, bbc news continues its election tour of the uk. Today, im in enniskillen, which is in the fermanagh constituency, right in the border of the republic of ireland. It will be tightly fought contest between nationalism and unionism. Hello, everyone. This is afternoon live, im lukwesa burak. Our main news this afternoon President Trump is in london ahead of a gathering of 29 nato leaders thats to take place in hertfordshire. Theres already controversy around the summit, with intense disagreement between some leaders over security issues, and continuing arguments over money. Mr trump spoke this morning to reporters in Central London. Carrie gracie is there for us carrie. Hello. I hope you can hear me all right, there are helicopters overhead. Im outside winfield house, the american ambassadors residence in regents park, where donald trump is staying before he joins other nato leaders for a gathering in watford to mark the 70th anniversary of the alliance. Right now, he is supposed to be having a meeting with president Emmanuel Macron of france. That has been one of the most fractious moments this morning. We will get into nato events in a moment, it is of course the 70th anniversary of the military alliance, which it celebrates as the most enduring, resilient, adaptable military alliance in history, but which has been troubled on various fronts as we speak. A difficult moment domestically in the uk, controversial, because all of these visitors and President Trump himself a drive in the midst of an Election Campaign, the role of the nhs, the future of the uk us free trade agreement, delicate issues at the heart of that campaign. Lets take a look at the politics of this now, and this report from jonathan blake. Arriving during an Election Campaign is unusual for a president of the United States but Donald Trumps visit was supposed to be strictly focused on the nato summit. No high profile meeting with the Prime Minister, officials acknowledging the president knows he should not get involved. After his motorcade rolled into london this morning and the president took questions from the press, it sounded at first like donald trump might stick to the script. I will stay out of the election. But. I think boris is capable and he will do a good job. After showing support for borisjohnson he was asked about Jeremy Corbyn becoming Prime Minister. I can work with anybody, im a very easy person to work with. Jeremy corbyn has written to the president about concerns the nhs could form part of a trade deal. And there was this morning for donald trump. There was this warning for donald trump. We want a Good Relationship with the usa but the trade talks undertaken by the government have been done in secret and we do not accept any idea of us companies coming in to run our National Health service or the idea of extending dependence on medicine which would increase costs for the National Health service. Earlier this year the president said everything would be on the table but now. I dont even know where the rumour started, we have nothing to do with it and we wouldnt want to, if you handed it to us on a silver platter, we want nothing to do with it. Boris johnson met military veterans in milford today. How are you doing . Not too bad, thank you, bearing up. He said the nhs wouldnt form part of trade talks and attacked Jeremy Corbyns record on security and defence. There is a stark contrast between our approach which sees the value of nato as the protector and guarantor of our future, and Jeremy Corbyn in the labour party which wants to disband nato, seems to be quite incredible position to take, that is the choice at this election, in just nine days time. Labour says it will maintain the uk commitment to nato despite Boris Johnson maclaine, Donald Trumps comments on the nhs will ensure that subject remains a talking point with nine days to go until the election. The nato meeting to celebrate its 70th anniversary is overshadowed by internal arguments. 29 allies will be gathering together to celebrate this anniversary. President macron of france made some comments which President Trump has taken exception to this morning. President macron said the alliance was strategically brain dead, President Trump said that was insulting, disrespectful and nasty. So, hardly voices raised in unity on the brink of this summit. Lets get the brink of this summit. Lets get the latest on all the difficulties and disagreements for this 70 year old alliance. Heres our dramatic correspondence, james robbins. Diplomatic correspondent. Nato ought to be in party mood. The military alliance was born 70 years ago in 1949. Lead and largely paid for by the United States. Nato saw off the cold war threat, first from josef stalin and fulfilled its purpose, outliving the communist soviet union. Nato is the most successful alliance in history and because we have been able to change when the world is changing, thats exactly what we are doing again and the fact is we are doing more in this alliance than has been done for many decades. But todays nato looks like a family at war with itself, President Trump who once called it obsolete, champions nato, turning on frances president macron who accused him of lack of vision and calls nato brain dead. When you make a Statement Like that, that is a very, very nasty statement to essentially 28, including them, 28 countries. I think you have a very high Unemployment Rate in france, france is not doing well economically at all. But its military action by another military member turkey inside Northern Syria which poses a far more immediate threat to nato unity. Turkeys president enraged nato isnt100 supportive, now threatens to Block Alliance plans to strengthen the collective defence of the Baltic States against russia. We have tremendous spirit as it pertains to nato, i would say except perhaps for one country. And we will be talking to that one country, we will see how it works out. And actually, the one country has a couple of points but those points are devastating nato, we will find out about that during the next two days. Present divisions within nato risk drowning out crucial discussions of future military threats to the alliance. Space is the next frontier for nato to defend. From possible Cyber Attacks knocking out satellites which are critical to Global Navigation and communication systems. All this is the backdrop to a reception at Buckingham Palace this evening when the queen will surely use her diplomatic skills to try to bring natos divided leaders closer together. Well, as i was saying a moment to 90, well, as i was saying a moment to go, right now behind me, President Trump and president macron in discussion, we believe. We can now speak to vice admiral patrick chevallereau, former Defence Attache of france to the uk. And also vice admiral still. Thank you forjoining us. What do you think mr macron is saying to President Trump right now . |i think mr macron is saying to President Trump right now . I think you have to come back the recent visit that the nato secretary general had in paris a few days ago. President macron will certainly say the things which are absolutely aligned with what he said at that time, repeatedly, the commitment of france to nato. Also, some concerns that he raised previously that nato has to talk and inside nato, consultation is very important before taking actions that can put at stake the security of other members. This is exactly what happened in Northern Syria, and it shouldnt happen between allies. And yet, there are some critics of france and president macron who say that by drawing attention to the winds in the alliance right now, he risks widening and deepening those wounds. How do you answer that . have spent a lot of time myself in nato and this organisation is very successful. I would say the military pa rt of successful. I would say the military part of nato is doing very well, the decisions that have been taken during the last summit are great decisions with reinforcements of nato presence in the eastern flank of europe, for instance. At the same time, we have to talk about the things which dont work, and there are things that do not work. I think nato needs a political engine, and this political engine is shaky right iiow. This political engine is shaky right now. Once again, you cannot have nations taking decisions that impact the security of other nations. This isa very the security of other nations. This is a very important point and nato wont do well in the next few years if these kind of things go on. Argue reassured by the robust support that President Trump has issued since arriving in london . We have heard him this morning being very emphatically, ioo behind nato, his description of himself being the only problem he has with it is at the moment is evenly sharing out the financial burden of running it. Do you think that will reassure president macron . I would like to, andl president macron . I would like to, and i would like to be optimistic myself. I think president macron would like to be reassured, too. Well, you have words and you have actions, and what donald trump said this morning is very good for nato, so this morning is very good for nato, soi this morning is very good for nato, so i observe that this is 180 degrees from what he was saying a few months ago, telling nato was obsolete. I just hope few months ago, telling nato was obsolete. Ijust hope he will not change his mind again. So lets take his words today and lets hope this is what he thinks. Thank you so much for joining is what he thinks. Thank you so much forjoining us. And just a reminder, that meeting between President Trump and president macron is going on behind me, we believe. Well bring you the latest on that as we get it. Later in the afternoon, we also have a meeting at downing street, which is also potentially a fiery one between a president ardagh one and president macron and the german chancellor and Boris Johnson, addressing the issues of Northern Syria again and the troop deployments to the baltics and poland. Much more to come as well as the reception in Buckingham Palace and the meeting for all 29 nato allies in downing street tonight before the nitty gritty talks tomorrow. Lots more from here later, but for now, back to you. A man has been arrested by police in essex investigating the death of 12 year old Harley Watson who was killed when a car hit a group of people outside a school in essex yesterday. The 51 year old is being held on suspicion of murder and the attempted murder of five other people injured in the crash. Charlotte rose reports. Flowers of remembrance for a School Community in mourning. Students arriving at Debden High School laid flowers to their fellow pupil, named locally as Harley Watson, who died in whats been described as a hit and run just metres from the school gates. The sense of shock here is a palpable. The tears of a relieved mother, just grateful her son, who was one of those injured, got to come home last night. You know, he hasjust got tissue damage and concussion, but he is lucky, you know. Yeah, very lucky. Parents today accompanying their children to school, to make sure they get there safely. Children should be safe. And i know this is slightly different, but. Itsjust too much pain. Theyve taken our babies out of the community, havent they . And for those parents, i wouldnt even know what to say to them. You just dont know what to say. Earlier, the schools head teacher paid tribute to him. This young man has made his mark on the school and was liked and loved by staff and students. We will consult with the family and our community to decide how best to commemorate his life. The pile of flowers here continues to grow as students, parents and staff show their grief at the loss of one of their own. 0ne message reads, i will miss you so much, harley, be forever in our hearts. Police say they are not looking for anyone else in connection with this incident, following the arrest of a 51 year old man last night. But they have urged anyone with information to contact them on the 101 number. Charlotte rose there reporting from Debden Park High School. Youre watching afternoon live, these are our headlines President Trump says he wont get involved in the election but insists the us isnt interested in the nhs when it comes to possible uk us trade talks. The president willjoin World Leaders in london this afternoon to celebrate 70 years of nato. Hes already defended the organisation against attacks from frances president macron. Five women who allege they were abused byJeffrey Epstein urge Prince Andrew to testify in their cases. And in sport theres a dreadful missed catch from joe denly, as englands cricketers draw the second test in new zealand, and lose the series. Manchester united manager 0le Gunnar Solskjaer says hes not worried about his job, despite the rumours and the recent glut of sackings. And Anthony Joshua says hes reinvented himself, as he prepares for his re match with andy ruinunior, who took his three world heavyweight titles in the summer. Ill be back with more at half past four. Lets get the latest from the general election now, and with just over a week to go, all of the Political Parties are still on the campaign trail. All of the Political Parties 0ur Political Correspondent ben wright is travelling with the Prime Minister, and they are currently in hampshire. He has a very busy day ahead of him, hasnt he . He does, thats right. Before the nato summit begins, Boris Johnson made a quick trip to the south west. President trump arrived in london, Boris Johnson south west. President trump arrived in london, borisjohnson went to salisbury, which is not somewhere that the tories are fighting hard to keep because they already have a thumping majority down there of 17,000, but Boris Johnson thumping majority down there of 17,000, but borisjohnson did turn up 17,000, but borisjohnson did turn up in wiltshire for a rare occurrence on this campaign trail, which is an unprompted, unannounced walkabout around the town centre. He ppped walkabout around the town centre. He popped into some shops and tea calls quite a scram around the Christmas Market in salisbury as he pressed the flesh and met some voters. The reception from a solid tory seat was rather warm to Boris Johnson. Reception from a solid tory seat was rather warm to borisjohnson. That is the campaigning we have been used to over yea rs of is the campaigning we have been used to over years of a politician wading through a crowd in a town centre, it doesnt happen any more. Security concerns are a big part of it but they dont want the unpredicted ability, the randomness of an egg or ability, the randomness of an egg or a hackle, to interrupt the campaigning. Boris johnson did a hackle, to interrupt the campaigning. Borisjohnson did do a 1520 campaigning. Borisjohnson did do a 15 20 minute walk through salisbury earlier on, but now, he is headed back to london and the nato summit. Thank you. 0fcom has rejected a complaint from the conservatives after channel 4 used a melting Ice Sculpture to represent borisjohnson during a climate debate last week. The media regulator says the act was not a breach of impartiality and election rules. You can find out what each party is promising to do. 0n the issues that matter to you and our general election manifesto guide now lets you easily compare between each party and their policies. It is at bbc. Co. Uk news or on the bbc news app. Dont forget, it is always available on the app. 0n the evening of friday 6th december, Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn will go head to head in the bbc Prime Ministerial debate. If you have a question you d like to ask, visit the website. Http bbc. Co. Uk bbc. Co. Uk pmdeba te. That s the bbc Prime Ministerial debate hosted by Nick Robinson on bbc one, friday 6th december from 8. 30pm. Throughout the campaign, weve been examining some of the key battle grounds. Today, were in enniskillen and Annita Mcveigh is there. Annita. Thank you. Im in the butter market here in enniskillen, which is a lovely collection of shops and studios and galleries, selling locally made arts and craft products, and we are in a largely rural constituency here of fermanagh, south to rome, and much of it borders the republic of ireland. South tyrone. That ability for people who live and work in this constituency to be able to move in this constituency to be able to m ove a cross in this constituency to be able to move across that border which has been such a huge part of the Brexit Debate is a key aspect of this campaign and why brexit is such a big issue in this election. Let me tell you a little bit more detail about the constituency. The seat has been held by sinn fein since 2017, the nationalist party, when they unseated the former Ulster Unionist Party leader tom elliott. Three of the four constituencies labouring it are also held by sinn fein and the other by the dup. Neighbouring uat. Fermanagh south tyrone is one of the tightest battle grounds of Northern Ireland, between unionism and nationalism. Sinn fein currently have a majority ofjust 875 and nationalism. Sinn fein currently have a majority of just 875 votes. Since this seat was created in 1950, it has been represented by six separate nationalist mps and five unionist mps, that gives you an idea of how tightly fought this constituency has been for a very long time. It is right on the border with the irish republic, which has been a huge issue in the brexit process. Our ireland correspondent has been out and about speaking to voters here to ask them what matters to them. If you thought the Election Campaign was an unpredictable, adrenaline pumping race, try this. Garryjennings passion, dedication and skill have won him International Rally driving prizes. His life is fast paced in other ways too. Like many businesspeople in this area, he pays his way by having a few different interests, from fuel sales to farming. But the man who loves to keep moving is frustrated by political paralysis, both at stormont and in the brexit process. Its just uncertainty. We need to know whats happening and we need to know soon, because theres nobody investing in here. Theres nobody making positive decisions in anything. And i think that is the real problem. If we just decide what is happening and we know how its going to happen, itll survive, but we just need to know. Just down the road, you get to pettigo, a place which shows why that uncertainty is so unsettling. The border is this river, which runs right through the village. A derelict customs post remains as a relic from different times. Two soldiers. This bbc film, from 35 years ago, captured the unique local challenges. This is a smuggler. Shes on a return trip from britain into ireland with quantities of butter, bread and tinned food, all of which are cheaper in ulster. 7, 979. Pensioners here remember well the days of disruption, amidst the troubles. It was an awful handicap to have the roads blowing up all around you, that you couldnt travel. Some of the times, they were filled in, but then the army came in and reopened them. Then the customs, they were there. When you come over the border. They then searched you. So, that was the way it was. The future of the frontier is very much playing into the big numbers game of how people will vote. Well, its often been said in the last few years that this border is pretty much invisible, although brexit means its loomed large in the political debates in the uk. However, for generations in Northern Ireland, elections have, in a sense, tended to be about this frontier. In particular, the question as to whether it should exist at all. The contest between unionists and nationalists is always tight in this constituency. This campaigner thinks that kind of politics doesnt really work. Its about identity and its about a sense of belonging, and when that feels questioned or chastised or pointed at, then people, i think, end up falling back into those camps. However, i think there is an increasing desire for day to day politics. At the edge of the United Kingdom, the issues are unlike anywhere else, but that means the election matters all the more here. Chris page, bbc news, pettigo. I think its fair to say that most people agree that it is either going to be the uup or the sinn fein candidate who wins this constituency again. Between them, they have been mpfor again. Between them, they have been mp for this constituency for the last 18 years. Joining me now is kieran flaherty, who is a reporter at the impartial reporter. The vote last time was incredibly close, 875 votes with the sinn fein candidate winning. Presumably, it will be really close again . Yes, i suppose it looks like that. Michelle and tom, who are the two frontrunners in this election, they are the two most well known candidates, people this election, they are the two most well known candidates, people know what they are about and what they are offering. Michelle is a huge anti brexit campaigner, whereas tom elliott voted for leave, is a brexiteers, so with brexit being such a focus on this election, people know what they will get with these two candidates in this election. Tom elliott describes himself as a soft leave voter. There have been many of them throughout this brexit process, but it is important to note that he is the unionist unity candidate, in other words, the democratic Unionist Party had to decide in this constituency to give him a run at this seat. Have stood aside. To think that will pay dividends for them in a closely fought constituency . The dup havent run here in quite a while to support the unionist unity candidate. Tom w011 the unionist unity candidate. Tom won the seat in 2015 under a unionist unity pact. I think you will gather the support again, as it will gather the support again, as it will be such a tight run race between him and michelle. Itll be interesting to see remain unionists and what way they vote. If they might look at may be an alliance candidate or the independent candidate or the independent candidate to give their vote too, because they dont want somebody who has voted for leave to take a seat at westminster. That is an interesting permutation, if you are a unionist and if you support remain, where does your vote go . There has been chat that they should have been a unity candidate on the other side of the brexit divide, a candidate who supports remain. There isnt a unity candidate in this constituency, is there . No, there are three candidates who support remain in the eu. Michelle, matt bowman of the Alliance Party and Caroline Wheeler who is standing as an an independent but runs on a labour manifesto. There has been talk that it would be smart to put forward a united anti brexit candidate, somebody from the alliance or sdlp or the independent, Caroline Wheeler. That didnt happen, and now, it is maybe the permutations are that the vote could split, michelle might lose votes to the sdlp, the alliance, the independent and then that would leave it open for tom elliott to sneak in with his unionist unity candidate vote. Good to talk to you, thank you for your thoughts on this campaign in the constituency. So, kieran wasjust campaign in the constituency. So, kieran was just saying that because two of those candidates are so well known in this constituency already that the tempo, if you like, of this campaign has been relatively low key. Campaign has been relatively low key. His has perhaps not as as many election posters or adverts up on billboards or on lamp posts in the constituency, but the issues at sta ke the constituency, but the issues at stake absolutely huge, of course, over brexit. The other thing people are thinking about is stormont, the fa ct are thinking about is stormont, the fact that there has been no assembly sitting for three years, come january. This isnt a Stormont Assembly election, this is a westminster election. Nonetheless, people here may be looking to see if there will be any change in terms of there will be any change in terms of the configuration of the westminster seats that might unlock some sort of movement at stormont. For now, from enniskillen, back to you. Thank you very much indeed. We will catch up with the weather now, it looked rather chilly in enniskillen but we will start off with something a little bit wilderfurther afield. We are talking about a typhoon which at the philippines local time on monday night. These pictures were taken before the strongest of the winds and the heaviest of the rain, but you can see, it was a powerful storm. Sustained wind around 100 mph, gusts shy of 150 mph, so a powerful system working its way through. You can see it clearly on the satellite image, there is a great swirl of cloud and because it hit the archipelago islands, it didnt really lose any of its momentum, so thats why it was so strong. Not only where there are strong. Not only where there are strong wind, but quite a lot of rainfall. Some spots saw around 223 millimetres of rain in around 2a hours. You can see here, there is more rain to come, so they are not out of the woods yet. This looks like it will be the track, it will work its way westwards towards the middle part of the week before gradually working its way southwards as we head towards the latter stages of the week, heading towards malaysia, but by then, it should have lost momentum. Lets have a look closer to home and todays forecast. In many places, a settled story, mostly dry, lots of sunshine in the forecast. Not everywhere, a bit more cloud across the north and west of scotland, it could be thick enoughin west of scotland, it could be thick enough in some spots to produce some drizzle. A mostly dry, mostly settled, thanks to High Pressure which remains in the driving seat. You can see the isobars are tighter together the further north and west you go, nearer to the area of low pressure. Temperatures are feeling quite cold, the sunshine, though, some compensation. Heading into this evening, the wind will strengthen further across Northern Ireland and North Western parts of scotland in particular, as the rain starts to edge closer. Elsewhere across england and wales, clearing skies, so england and wales, clearing skies, soa england and wales, clearing skies, so a patchy frost possible, may be fog as well, because the wind will be lighter. Quite a contrast in the temperatures, as you can see, the blue is focused on the southern half of the uk where temperatures will be closer to freezing. Here is this band of rain that will work its way in overnight. As it bumps into the area of High Pressure, it will tend to weaken, but gusty wind associated with it. The further south and east you come, lighter wind, so the fog could lingerfor much of you come, lighter wind, so the fog could linger for much of the day in some spots, which will suppress the temperature. They wind clears south and east, some showers will follow behind. Temperatures similar to today. As we head into thursday, we will see this game changer work its way in from the atlantic. This area of low pressure has milder air associated with it as well. As we go through thursday, a blustery day across the board, particularly for the north and west of scotland, where we will have rain, heavy and persistent, leading to some 30 localised Flooding Issues. For much of england and wales, one or two showers in the forecast, it will be quite windy, sunshine around. You will notice the temperatures creeping up a little as we head through thursday during the day. That trend will continue as we head into the overnight period. The milderair into the overnight period. The milder air that we saw gradually works its way southwards, so as the night goes on, the temperatures will tend to left and many places starting friday morning with double digit temperatures once again. A different feel to the start of friday, it will be a wet day through friday, it will be a wet day through friday and will gradually start to cool down as we head into the weekend, and for many spots, the temperatures were once again be back into single figures. This is bbc news our latest headlines. President trump says he wont get involved in the uk election but insists the us wants nothing to do with the nhs amid fears it will form a part of post brexit trade talks. We have absolutely. I dont even know where that rumour started. We have absolutely nothing to do with it and we wouldnt want to. If you handed it to us on a silver platter, we want nothing to do with it. The president willjoin World Leaders in london this afternoon to celebrate 70 years of nato. Five women who allege they were abused byJeffrey Epstein urge Prince Andrew to testify in their cases. The 12 year boy killed yesterday when a car ploughed into a group of children near a school in essex is named as Harley Watson. Sport now on afternoon live with holly and englands cricketers have lost the series against new zealand and whats this i hear about a dropped catch . Youre going to have to see possibly the worst dropped catch ever in test cricket. Just to paint the picture, this was the second test against new Zealand England battling not to end it with another defeat. In the end they settled for a draw but it will probably be remembered for this. This was whenjoe denly had the chance to remove kane williamson. Straight forward, youd have thought. Bowlerjoffra archer could only laugh. England failed to take a single wicket on the final day, with williamson and ross taylor both on unbeaten centuries when rain brought an early end to the match, which means new zealand won it 1 0. Which also means for the first time this century, englands cricketers have gone through the year without winning a single test series. It doesnt happen very often. I feel, with the calibre ofjoe, who takes magnificent catches and moves extremely well in the field. What do you say after that . We have not quite gone there yet. Im sure the lads will have their say at some point, but it was a gooba. England move straight on to south africa now, for test, one day and t20 series. We had a few sackings in the premier league, any more movement we can expect . Manchester united manager 0le Gunnar Solskjaer says hes not worried about his job, although he concedes that results could be better. United are ninth in the premier league, which solskjaer puts down to too many draws that they should have turned into wins. They take on tottenham tomorrow night, with Jose Mourinho returning to old trafford. And after the recent run of managerial sackings, solskjaer has played down talk of him being one of the next. It doesnt make me more concerned, im just focusing on myjob, and that isjust doing as well as i can and looking forward to the next game, but also, look long term, plan things with the board. But its that time of year, its never nice to see your colleagues lose theirjobs. Its also the time of year that talk turns to the january transfer window but when he was questioned about possible purchases, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola was very quick to say he had no plans to buy anyone. Looking ahead to january, do you think. Nope. I dont want any players in january. Is that because it kind of disrupts the team at mid season . I dont want any players. We cannot do it in summer, we cannot do injanuary. Anthonyjoshua said he has reinvented himself since losing his three world heavyweight titles to andy ruinunior in the summer. The pair meet again in saudi arabia on saturday night a warning, theres some flash photography coming up. The word from joshuas camp is that his sparring in recent days has been some of the most impressive of his career. Rumours circulated about his condition after his shock defeat by ruiz at Madison Square garden and joshua says he feels different and more like his old self. It was an unknown test, i give the man his credit, he was victorious, well done to him for that. Now its my turn to kind of right my wrongs. He thinks he is truly going to do the same thing and get the same result, but i have had to check myself, reinvent myself to a certain degree. Not physically, i have always been dedicated to the gym. Mentally, understanding what im doing as soon as i step into that boxing ring. Ronnie 0sullivan is aiming to move a step closer to successfully defending his uk championship title this afternoon. Hes playing thailands noppon say ang kham in the third round of the tournament at the york barbican and is currently leading three frames to one. As well as defending the title, victory in the championship would see 0sullivan win the trophy for a ninth time. That match is on bbc two, with ding junhui against ali carter on the red button. Both tables are also on the bbc sport website and connected tvs. Lets go back to our main news this afternoon, World Leaders have descended on the uk for a two day nato summit. Carrie gracie is in Central London for us. Good afternoon. Im outside winfield house, the american ambassadors residence in regents park, where donald trump is staying as he joins other nato leaders for events to mark the seventieth anniversary of the alliance. He has met with macron, obviously strong words have been spoken in the past. Macron talked about the nato allies being strategically brain dead and has stuck by his remarks in that meeting this afternoon with President Trump, despite President Trump saying the remarks were insulting and nasty and disrespectful. Lots more to come, we have a meeting in downing street coming up, president macron needs to hotfoot it down there for a meeting with president duane, borisjohnson and chancellor merkel, which also is going to be quite robust, giving the differences between and turkey in terms of views on north syria. Will come back to that in a moment, but first i want to talk to the Lithuanian Defence minister, because the Baltic States are very much on the Baltic States are very much on the front line between the old Nato Alliance, the new members of nato and the great rising, some would say, russian power on the eastern border. So Lithuanian Defence minister joins border. So Lithuanian Defence ministerjoins us now border. So Lithuanian Defence minister joins us now from westminster. I wonder what your hopes are for the nato meeting. 0bviously hopes are for the nato meeting. Obviously it is fractious and argumentative, is it a serious fracture or a storm in a teacup . will let the letters discuss. Since 2014 quite a lot was done in nato. What we had already, it is kind of a breakthrough, adapting nay so kind of a breakthrough, adapting nay so to the new security situation. 0n the other hand, of course, it is nato but nothing is perfect. There is an amount of topics on the table that are being looked into that are going well. But it is the ordinary work we need to do. This is about the meeting of the leaders, ministerial meetings and the work of experts. So i think, speaking about that,. Experts. So i think, speaking about that,. Of experts. So i think, speaking about that,. Of course experts. So i think, speaking about that,. Of course we need to improve a little bit. Where do you stand on the row between france and President Trump and turki . 0f stand on the row between france and President Trump and turki . Of course we have heard President Trump calling president macrons remarks disrespectful, insulting and nasty. But are the actually accurate . Is it true when macron says we cannot rely on american commitment in europe, we are strategically brain dead and need to adapt a further . Nato is an alliance of 29 nations, and we have some different opinions on some specific issues, so we need to get to the consensus for the decisions. But its not the first time we have had disagreements on specific issues in nato. The beauty of nature was that despite those complications, we a lwa ys that despite those complications, we always found agreements. So i hope that also will hold the same, but of course, from time to time it needs some review of activities. In some improvement, but once again, i think that nato is really in good shape. And it is one of the best International Organisations in our days, bringing concrete, specific results. And i hope that nato will continue. It is interesting that you say that, some might say that you say that, some might say that you have no choice. You are on the front line between the Nato Alliance and the russian bear on your other border. That you have to be an optimist because you have no other option. You have to hope that the rest of your allies keep pouring in the 4000 troops that the Baltic States and poorly need to defend against the russian threat. States and poorly need to defend against the russian threatm states and poorly need to defend against the russian threat. It is also about that, but speaking about the threats from russia, yes, indeed, russia is the only external threat for lithuania and other baltic countries. It it has existential importance and risks. But we need to look from different angles. From 2014, we had insurance measures, 110w angles. From 2014, we had insurance measures, now we have nato enhancing measures, now we have nato enhancing measures with the presence of the nato battle groups. In lithuania we have more than 1000 strips permanently. And also a us presence in poland, and in lithuania with United States forces, 550 american troops. It is a very important measure for deterrence. Yes, the security situation in the region is relatively risky, but on the other hand, lithuania has never had such a number of guarantees and as many allies as we have now. So, from the participation of allies, it is the unity, the solidarity, and i very much expect that it will work. Thank you so much forjoining us in london today. Lots more on the nato meeting and on the trump visit to come, but right now, back to the studio. Now, lets return to the election now with just over a week of campaigning left. Throughout all of this, weve been examining some of the key battle grounds and now we can cross to enniskillen and Annita Mcveigh whos there for us. Annita. Thanks, lu kwesa. Well, bbc news has been visiting 10 parts of the uk where seats will be closely contested. Mainly between the sinn fein candidate and the ulster unionist candidate. Last time round, not many books in it. Everywhere we have been, the radio one newspeak camper van has been as well. Today, were in enniskillen, which is in the Northern Irish constituency Fermanagh South Tyrone and also here is the radio1 newsbeats camper van and inside that, is presenter, steffan powell. Steffan. I was excited to come here because im a big game of thrones fan, and im a big game of thrones fan, and im just round the corner with they filmed some of the scenes in the river lands in the show. I didnt expect to fall in love with the views here. It is amazing, the rolling fields, the ancient waterways, the 600 year old cassells. Will show you waterways, the 600 year old cassells. Will show you what it looks like outside of the ban here. The out and it is looking glorious in enniskillen. Almost as glorious as inside the van. We had a bit too much tinsel last time, so we have gone a bit more classy. Joining us in the campervan gone a bit more classy. Joining us in the camper van we have ryan, molly and aaron who all live locally, and we have been talking about whether or not this is a brexit election, because we are just 12 miles from the border with the republic year. It is a conversation that comes up a lot, molly, and you we re that comes up a lot, molly, and you were saying sometimes people in the rest of the uk dont realise how often you sort of nip over across the border. Yeah, its not a Straight Line like some people think. You can be walking down a country road and upon things and it says you have entered ireland, you can walk up more steps and it says you have entered the uk again. That is why i think a hard border would be the worst thing ever, because it is unrealistic. It is not a Straight Line, there are so many borders. You enter the south into the north like multiple times. A lot of the Political Parties are working to try and avoid a hard border, depending on what happens with brexit. Boris johnson with a Withdrawal Agreement certainly try to do that as well. How far certainly try to do that as well. Howfarup your certainly try to do that as well. How far up your list of priorities when it comes to voting. This is your personal election. How far is this on your list of priorities . M is numberone this on your list of priorities . M is number one priority, because i think if you bring the border into the situation, there is already a lot of mist lot of chaos. I think bringing a border for Northern Ireland is going to create as much tension as there was in the past during the troubles. And talking about the troubles, youre saying you and your mates a new generation are trying to move on, aaron . The trouble are a thing of the past now. Nobody wants that kind of drama going on in their life now. It is time to move forward and find new solutions and you pass to take. And you were saying that when people come to the pub, it is not something they necessarily chat about any more. Know, those things are done and dusted. The older generation that were involved in those times would rather move on from it. They wa nt would rather move on from it. They want to remember it, but not to keep bringing it up and make it into something. It needs to be remembered, but move on. Ryan, you are big into your drama. You were involved in those times would rather move on from it. They want to remember it, but not to keep bringing it up and make it into something. It needs to be remembered, but move on. Ryan, you are big into your drama. Your single drama group is across the border on the other side. This must be an issue close to your hearti didnt even think about it but as soon as you cross the border, you get a notification on your phone. And you know you technically are going to the south. So a hard border will compete that more. So for you is it a border issue is about trying to stay in the opinion . What is on your check list . It is about everything but the border is at the forefront of my mind is coming into the sport. The whole brexit situation is something im very conscious of it as well, and just trying to sort that out, because of italy that is a big issue at the moment. Aaron, you wa nted big issue at the moment. Aaron, you wanted to leave the European Union . Where are you with this . We are not much further than we were three years ago so, much further than we were three years ago so, to be honest, i think everyone just wants a conclusion. They want a decision made. For me, i wish they would hurry up and leave and have it over and done with, and then Start Building up again from that. And any sentence, molly, you are the same . Yeah, i would have voted to remain, but now that ip like i have a voice in the next election, i would definitely be thinking about maybe taking time, but making a good plan to leave. Thank you very much forjoining us. I will give you one more look at that glorious view outside where we are. For now, also in enniskillen is John Campbell with business news. For so long the irish border has been at the centre of the Brexit Debate. For many businesses, and indeed across Northern Ireland, all that becks uncertainty has had a Significant Impact on their businesses. I am joined Significant Impact on their businesses. Iam joined by Significant Impact on their businesses. I am joined by terry who ru ns businesses. I am joined by terry who runs a hotel in the town and sits on the board of tourism. What has brexit and the uncertainty meant for businesses in this part of the world over the last couple of years . The uncertainty, it is definitely affected it. We are primarily, in this part of the role, a short break destination. If people dont have confidence, they take less short breaks. That then means this area is hurt economically. We are in part of the most beautiful part of ireland, we have the stairway to heaven, National Trust properties, enniskillen castle, but we need more people to visit. But for them to come the need to be more positivity and more certainty to get me. When it comes people deciding if theyre going to pick into Northern Ireland, fly to dublin and drive across the border, they need to be sure that that will be a smooth process at the brexit. Think you are at the stage that they have that reassurance that nothing is what you change when it comes to, either travelling across that border, ordering border across that border, ordering border across that business across the border . Hill at the moment the only certainty is that there is uncertainty. People booking their holidays will be unsure, a lot of the access to ireland is to dublin, so if someone is going to fly into dublin, we want them to come up north superman or belfast or giants causeway, but will there be issues crossing the border . Northern ireland. We would need all of these issues ironed out to have the confidence to go to america, europe, just to be selling this part of the world. When we look at the ma nifestos world. When we look at the manifestos of the two main parties, labour and conservatives, are you confident that what they are putting forward means that the prospect of a no deal brexit is effectively off the table for good . No deal brexit is effectively off the table for good . The only thing im confident is, am i gonna fill rooms tonight . Am i gonna fill rooms as we can . From my point of view, we need to get stormont up and running, tourism priority, we have a situation were down south the Irish Government put a lot of money into tourism, so we are competing against that. As for the two big parties, they are going to do what theyre going to do. We will be left to pick up going to do. We will be left to pick up the pieces and make the adjustments after that. It is anybodys guess what is going to happen. What sort of reassurance would you like from whoever the next government is about what brexit is going to mean for this part of the world . Going to mean for this part of the world . I think, the ideal situation is that we are able to trade and travel into southern ireland without borders, without problems, and to be able to do it east, west as well from here into the uk. If we can get that and people can move freely, but from a skills point of view, employment point of view Anti Terrorism point of view, then Northern Ireland has a unique opportunity to be economically active, tourism point of view. Is for this part of the world, right up against the irish border, businesses here really do need that sense of reassurance about what the policy is going to be and how it is going to u nfold going to be and how it is going to unfold over the next couple of years or so. Now its time for the weather. The cold but settled conditions will give way to something a little milder. I will have more than that any moment, but for today, there is some sunshine on the cards across england and wales in particular. We have quite a bit more cloud prickly across northern and western parts of scotland, they can up in some spots to produce some drizzle. Mostly dry because we have High Pressure in the driving seat. There is more of a breeze up towards the far north and west of scotland, where we are closer to an area of low pressure, but a mostly dry story. Temperature wise, very disappointing, still feels cold out there but the sunshine is some compensation. As we head into this evening, the wind will strengthen further for Northern Ireland and scotland, and rain will gradually make inroads as we head to the night. Across england and wales, under clearing skies, once again we are expecting a patchy price. Maybe as well in some northern and eastern parts of scotland. Look at the contrast in temperatures, the blue colours indicating that they are closer to freezing. As we head into wednesday, here is the band of rain that will move into parts of Northern Ireland and parts of scotland. It will be keen as it tracks for the south and east where it bumps into that area of High Pressure. Because the wind is that bit lighterfurther pressure. Because the wind is that bit lighter further south, somebody may linger for bit lighter further south, somebody may lingerfor much of bit lighter further south, somebody may linger for much of the day and suppress the temperatures. Another blustery day per northern and western parts of scotland, some squally showers feeding in through the afternoon which could be next with some hail and the odd bit of thunder. Temperatures similar to todays values. Here is the game changer. This area of low pressure feeding in from the atlantic, bringing in some milder air. As we head into thursday, we are going to notice the temperature left, that is only happy story because it is also bringing strong winds across the board, but particularly for northern and western parts of scotland, where we are also going to see some rain which will be heavy and persistent and could lead to some Flooding Issues. Elsewhere across much of england and wales, there will be one or two showers, but a mostly dry short story, was in spells of sunshine the further east you come. And notice those temps are starting to edge up a notch or two. That will continue to be the trend as we head through thursday night. That milder air gradually working its way southward, and suffer many spots, temperatures will actually start to rise as we head towards don. We will start friday morning with double digit temperatures. We will see some rain through friday and the milder conditions wont last long. Killer by the weekend. Cooler by the weekend. Hello, youre watching afternoon live im lukwesa burak. Today at 3 President Trump says he wont get involved in the election, but insists the us wants nothing to do with the nhs amid fears it will form a part of post brexit trade talks.

The president isjoining World Leaders here in london this afternoon to celebrate 70 years of nato.

That is only part of the story, ill have all the details later in the programme. Thanks, mel. Also coming up those festive lattes and hot chocolates being sold by some high street coffee chains can contain a staggering 23 spoonfuls of sugar per cup. Hello. This is afternoon live im lukwesa burak. Our main news this afternoon President Trump is in london ahead of a gathering of 29 nato leaders thats to take place in hertfordshire. Theres already controversy around the summit, with intense disagreement between some leaders over security issues, and continuing arguments over money. Mr trump spoke this morning to reporters in Central London. Carrie gracie is there for us carrie. Hello. I am outside the american ambassadors residents, regents park, in Central London. You can probably see over my left shoulder, some of the traffic build up by the ring of steel, which is around the residents. There has been a lot of motorcade traffic in and out and a lot of helicopters up ahead. A lot going on for the president , as you we re going on for the president , as you were saying, he has been talking after his meeting this morning with the nato secretary general about his hopes for nato robust positive endorsement on the alliance on its 70th birthday. We are gathered here with the 29 allies to meet this evening and tomorrow outside watford to mark the 70th anniversary and to talk about adapting to the future. Donald trump arrived in the uk last night. He is already insisting that the nhs would not be part of a future trade talks between the usa and the uk, because of course, that isa and the uk, because of course, that is a delicate little topic in light of the general election. So the politics are quite complex, both internationally and domestically. Lets ta ke internationally and domestically. Lets take a look at some of the domestic politics first and join our reporter, jonathan blake. Arriving during an Election Campaign is unusual for a president of the United States, but Donald Trumps visit was supposed to be strictly focused on the nato summit. No high profile meeting with the Prime Minister, officials acknowledging the president knows he should not get involved. After his motorcade rolled into london this morning and the president took questions from the press, it sounded at first like donald trump might stick to the script. I will stay out of the election. But. I think boris is capable and he will do a good job. After showing support for borisjohnson, he was asked about Jeremy Corbyn becoming Prime Minister. I can work with anybody, im a very easy person to work with. Jeremy corbyn has written to the president about concerns the nhs could form part of a trade deal. There was this warning for donald trump. We want a Good Relationship with the usa but the trade talks undertaken by the government have been done in secret and we do not accept any idea of us companies coming in to run our National Health service or the idea of extending patents on medicine, which would increase costs for the National Health service. Earlier this year, the president said everything would be on the table but now. I dont even know where the rumour started, we have nothing to do with it and we wouldnt want to, if you handed it to us on a silver platter, we want nothing to do with it. Borisjohnson met military veterans in wilstshire today. How are you doing . Not too bad, thank you, bearing up. He said the nhs wouldnt form part of trade talks and attacked Jeremy Corbyns record on security and defence. There is a stark contrast between our approach which sees the value of nato as the protector and guarantor of our security, and Jeremy Corbyn in the labour party which wants to disband nato, seems to be quite incredible position to take, that is the choice at this election, injust nine days time. Labour says it will maintain the uk commitment to nato despite Boris Johnsons claim, Donald Trumps comments on the nhs will ensure that subject remains a talking point with nine days to go until the election. Well, its not only uk politicians who find relations with donald trump somewhat awkward. We have had a lot of problematic language around the comments from president macron of france. He last month said the alliance itself would strategically brain dead. That is very Strong Language to talk of an Alliance Central pillar of everyones defence and 78 years old this year. President trump is not best impressed on this morning, he said these remarks were nasty and disrespectful, but they obviously, as you can see from the pictures, had made up a bit for the cameras this afternoon, when they met in the residence behind me. Lets listen to president macron. Translation cooperation between our two countries, whether its military, economic or diplomatic, is important, and sometimes, we dont agree. That happened on climate, but on the fight against terrorism, on key missions, our soldiers, our teams work side by side. So, president macron trying to sound president ial, optimistic, collegiate, unified in readiness for the events of this evening and the events of tomorrow. In fact, from the residence behind me, he had to hotfoot it down to downing street where a meeting is taking place between him, the president of turkey, another difficult relationship there, borisjohnson and chancellor Angela Merkel. Lets go to downing street and our correspondent. And they all arrived and what is happening . We have just seen the german chancellor Angela Merkel going to downing street. We are not sure that Boris Johnson is here at the moment, but she is due to have a bilateral meeting with him. He is also then going to have meetings with Emmanuel Macron, who we just heard from, and also the turkish leader. This is all here for the 70th anniversary of nato, but quite a lot of disunity showing already. We have had President Trump attacking president macron and saying that his observation that nato was brain dead was very nasty, just respectful and dangerous. President trump then went on to say that those countries who we re on to say that those countries who were not paying enough into nato, in his view, where delinquent, who were taking advantage of the United States. Not much harmony at the moment. Thank you very much for that update. Just looking at the pictures of chancellor Angela Merkel going into downing street. We will give you the latest on the outcomes of those meetings as we get them. We can now speak to the former first sea lord, admiral lord west. He also served as security minister in Gordon Browns government. It used to be said of the Nato Alliance, you will remember this just as well as i do, or better, that its purpose was to keep the americans in, the russians out, and the germans down. 70 years on, is its purpose clear . I think what i would first say is that its initial purpose was achieved wonderfully, apart from keeping the germans down, which i didnt really agree with anyway, but it basically stopped world war iii, its stopped the soviet plans for invasion of western europe and it ensured victory in the cold war, which allowed Eastern Europe to become free countries from out from under the soviet yoke. It then went through a difficult patch, i had to rewrite the intelligence documents at the end of the cold war for nato, and people wonder, where will it go . Amazingly, that shows what a Resilient Organisation it is, it did find a new role in the new world, which is very chaotic, looking at terrorist issues as well. The only time that article five has been called into operation was the invasion of afghanistan, where alqaeda were training immense numbers of terrorists to be used around the world. It has been successful since then. There is no doubt it has been successful, but we doubt it has been successful, but we do need to look very carefully now at exactly where is it going, what is it doing, and that is what i had hoped it would be done during this conference, but im afraid there are a lot of other tensions, which i think will make that very difficult. That is what i want to pick up with you now, because we hearfrom some quarters that this is a bit of a storm in a teacup, that everyone is loyal, you dont need to listen to or read the tweets from President Trump, you just need to look at what Us Military Forces do on the ground, they are as committed to nato as ever, but these arguments are not the real action and underlying is a very Resilient Alliance which is still very committed to its back to basics mission of securing europe against russian pressures. What do you say to those who rather shrug off the factions and frictions on those lines . I think that nato still functions and article five still works and the americans are fully pa rt of works and the americans are fully part of that. I think some of the statements and tweets by President Trump have not helped, but there is no doubt that for example, the fact that he says that europe, particularly mainland europe, doesnt pull its weight financially is absolutely correct and has been correct for many years. I think the statements by Emmanuel Macron about nato being brain dead and some of his statements about the turkish president and what has happened in syria, are very damaging. I dont think he has thought this through andl think he has thought this through and i am delighted that chancellor Angela Merkel, in a sense, gave him a slap on the rest about that and said, dont be so stupid, we need to nato, there is no way whatsoever that europe on its own as a European Defence force at the moment could ensure its own security. The issue of turkey is very worrying as well, with the purchase of the 400 series surface to air missiles from russia. It means that turkey cant be a full memberof the airdefence it means that turkey cant be a full member of the air defence protection of that part of nato, and the actions in syria as well. I think thatis actions in syria as well. I think that is very worrying. Those tensions are very very real and that is why one needs to get down to some serious talking, and i fear that with so much else going on at the moment, im not sure that anything will come out of this meeting other than some bland communique and we will not really have moved forward ina way will not really have moved forward inawayl will not really have moved forward in a way i would have hoped we would. Thank you very much for joining us from westminster. Im joined by lewis lukens former deputy head of mission at the us embassy in london, currently senior partner with signum global advisors. Thank you for being with us on this chilly afternoon just outside this residence. Your assessment so far . So far so good, i think President Trump is playing the role of senior statesman which is sometimes a struggle to do. He seems to be focused on coming across well at the summit, and bringing up old arguments. And yet, does he have the Leadership Qualities and patients and strategic depth of vision to bang all these 29, 28 other than his, Heads Together and get them phasing in one direction . his, Heads Together and get them phasing in one direction . I dont think he does. The role of the us relies a lot on his coat ability and while President Trump is playing the role today, he has spent the last three years bashing nato and beating up three years bashing nato and beating up on his allies, so i think that whatever he says today and tomorrow at the summit will probably be greeted with a healthy dose of scepticism from his partner is. Should be getting credit . Lloyd weston talked about the money there. Should we give him credit . He has had for the last three years, you allies need to contribute more to your own defence and we had him in london are saying that he will take credit for that having been achieved. He certainly deserves it is partial credit for that, everyone else is aware of the need. The countries committed before President Trump was to increase defence spending. His rallying behind that cause has sped up that process. And just briefly on the comments from president macron, interestingly, he said he was standing by his brain dead, quote, which is obviously Strong Language. He said he wasnt sure that nato allies can count on each other to come to their defence. That is a very strong thing foran defence. That is a very strong thing for an Alliance Member to say. Do you think it is legitimate . for an Alliance Member to say. Do you think it is legitimate . I think he is frustrated by what happened with turkey and syria. The president made a decision, communicated it to turkey and they went into syria and their reference trips on the ground there. There is no coordination between france and american president s and irritated president macron. Now looking at uk politics, we are nine days before an election. We heard the president say this morning, i will not wade into uk politics and then he kind of dipped his toe in. I know you will not comment on the uk political angle, but are you impressed by his restraint . I was. He but are you impressed by his restraint . Iwas. He couldnt but are you impressed by his restraint . I was. He couldnt help dipping his toe in a little bit, but from President Trump, that was a restrained answer and i think you got the message that if he wants to help his friend borisjohnson, the best way to do that is to stay out of british politics for the next week. You have done that so many times yourself, you have seen so many bilaterals between the us and uk, are you surprised that we havent got a scheduled bilateral between a uk Prime Minister and the us president . It is unusual but im not surprise given the state of british politics and the election next week. Thank you so much for joining us. Lots more coming from here it later on this evening and in fa ct here it later on this evening and in fact from Buckingham Palace and downing street because the queen is hosting a reception for all 29 nato leaders. And then borisjohnson is hosting a meeting for them all in the downing street. More reporting and analysis to come, but right now, back to you in the studio. Youre watching afternoon live, these are our headlines President Trump says he wont get involved in the election but insists the us isnt interested in the nhs when it comes to possible uk us trade talks.

A man has been arrested by police in essex investigating the death of 12 year old Harley Watson who was killed when a car hit a group of people outside a school in essex yesterday. The 51 year old is being held on suspicion of murder and the attempted murder of five other people injured in the crash. Charlotte rose reports. Flowers of remembrance for a School Community in mourning. Students arriving at Debden Park High School laid flowers to their fellow pupil, named locally as Harley Watson, who died in whats been described as a hit and run just metres from the school gates. The sense of shock here is a palpable. The tears of a relieved mother, just grateful her son, who was one of those injured, got to come home last night. You know, he hasjust got tissue damage and concussion, but he is lucky, you know. Yeah, very lucky. Parents today accompanying their children to school, to make sure they get there safely. Children should be safe. And i know this is slightly different, but. Itsjust too much pain. Theyve taken our babies out of the community, havent they . And for those parents, i wouldnt even know what to say to them. You just dont know what to say. Earlier, the schools head teacher paid tribute to him. This young man has made his mark on the school and was liked and loved by staff and students. We will consult with the family and our community to decide how best to commemorate his life. The pile of flowers here continues to grow as students, parents and staff show their grief at the loss of one of their own. 0ne message reads, i will miss you so much, harley, be forever in our hearts. Police say they are not looking for anyone else in connection with this incident, following the arrest of a 51 year old man last night. But they have urged anyone with information to contact them on the 101 number. Charlotte rose there, reporting from Debden Park High School. Five women who accused the convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein, of abusing them, are calling on Prince Andrew to testify in their cases. Their lawyer told the bbcs Panorama Programme that he plans to try to compel the duke legally to give evidence. The programme centred on an interview with the woman who says she was forced to have sex with the prince when she was 17. Prince andrew denies any such relationship. 0ur royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell reports. The pressure on andrew shows no sign of easing. His rejection of the allegations against him remains absolute. But in her first British Television interview, Virginia GiuffreVirginia Roberts, as she was repeated her story of being trafficked by the sex offenderJeffrey Epstein. One of those she was told to sleep with, she told the bbcs Panorama Programme, was Prince Andrew. She said the instruction came from epsteins friend, Ghislaine Maxwell, after a visit to a london nightclub. So, andrew drives in the other car. He not with us, hes with his security guards. And in the car, ghislaine tells me that. I have to do for andrew what i do forjeffrey. And that made me sick. I just didnt expect it from royalty. In court documents, Ghislaine Maxwell has said all Virginia Giuffres claims are lies. Andrew too has been emphatic in his denials. It never happened. Do you recall any kind of sexual contact with Virginia Roberts then, or any other time . None whatsoever. And yet, virginia guiffres challenge to andrew is a direct one. He knows what happened. I know what happened. And there is only one of us telling the truth. Now, us lawyers are intensifying their demands for andrew to step forward and be questioned under oath as a potential witness to what occurred inJeffrey Epsteins homes. Prince andrew, every day the clock is ticking, while he delays and, as i said, he should provide his testimony without condition, without delay. Without saying yes, or seek the advice of his lawyers or as required, required by whom . Its required for the truth, its required forjustice. Andrew has said he will cooperate, if required, with us Law Enforcement agencies, but he has not said whether he is prepared to be questioned by lawyers for epsteins victims. Nicholas witchell, bbc news. Now, to the general election bbc news has been visiting 10 parts of the uk where seats will be closely contested. Today, were in enniskillen, which is in the Northern Irish constituency, Fermanagh South Tyrone. This seat has been held by sinn fein since 2017, when they unseated the former Ulster Unionist Party leader, tom elliott. Three of the four constituencies neighbouring it are also held by sinn fein the other by the dup. Fermanagh and south tyrone is one of the tightest battle grounds in Northern Ireland between unionism and nationalism. Sinn fein currently have a majority ofjust 875. Since the seat was created in 1950, it has been represented by six separate nationalist mps, and five unionist mps. My collegaue, Annita Mcveigh, is in enniskillen. Im in the butter market, which is home to studios, galleries and shops, selling locally made arts and craft products. For people who live and work here, the ability to cross the border into the republic of ireland is absolutely vital to their daily lives, so brexit absolutely a dominant issue in this election. In this particular constituency, the brexit supporting dup have stood aside to allow the ulster are you new candidate, who also supports brexit Ulster Unionist Party date, have a clear run against the nationalist remain supporting sinn fein. Lets take a look at this report from chris page, who has been talking to people in the constituency to ask them what matters to them. If you thought the Election Campaign was an unpredictable, adrenaline pumping race, try this. Garryjennings passion, dedication and skill have won him International Rally driving prizes. His life is fast paced in other ways too. Like many businesspeople in this area, he pays his way by having a few different interests, from fuel sales to farming. But the man who loves to keep moving is frustrated by political paralysis, both at stormont and in the brexit process. Its just uncertainty. We need to know whats happening and we need to know soon, because theres nobody investing in here. Theres nobody making positive decisions in anything. And i think that is the real problem. If we just decide what is happening and we know how its going to happen, itll survive, but we just need to know. Just down the road, you get to pettigo, a place which shows why that uncertainty is so unsettling. The border is this river, which runs right through the village. A derelict customs post remains as a relic from different times. Two soldiers. This bbc film, from 35 years ago, captured the unique local challenges. This is a smuggler. Shes on a return trip from britain into ireland with quantities of butter, bread and tinned food, all of which are cheaper in ulster. 7, 979. Pensioners here remember well the days of disruption, amidst the troubles. It was an awful handicap to have the roads blowing up all around you, that you couldnt travel. Some of the times, they were filled in, but then the army came in and reopened them. Then the customs, they were there. When you come over the border. They then searched you. So, that was the way it was. The future of the frontier is very much playing into the big numbers game of how people will vote. Well, its often been said in the last few years that this border is pretty much invisible, although brexit means its loomed large in the political debates in the uk. However, for generations in Northern Ireland, elections have, in a sense, tended to be about this frontier. In particular, the question as to whether it should exist at all. The contest between unionists and nationalists is always tight in this constituency. This campaigner thinks that kind of politics doesnt really work. Its about identity and its about a sense of belonging, and when that feels questioned or chastised or pointed at, then people, i think, end up falling back into those camps. However, i think there is an increasing desire for day to day politics. At the edge of the United Kingdom, the issues are unlike anywhere else, but that means the election matters all the more here. Chris page, bbc news, pettigo. The tight race in this constituency is by no means the only one in this election in Northern Ireland. Annita mcveigh there for us in enniskillen. 0fcom has rejected a complaint from the conservatives after channel 4 used a melting Ice Sculpture to represent borisjohnson during a climate debate last week.

Yes, we are talking about a typhoon which at the philippines local time last night. It hit one of the most populated areas. These pictures were taken before the strongest of the winds and the heaviest of the rain which happened after dark. It was a powerful storm. To give you some idea, sustained winds of around 100 mph, gusts of around 150 mph, the equivalent to be a category four hurricane. You can sit nicely on the satellite image, this swell of clarity. As well as the strong wind, it also brought heavy rain, some spots recorded over 220 millimetres of rain. There is more rain to come, so they are not out of the woods. It looks as though when we head through the middle part of the week, this system will track its way westwards and a little bit later on in the week, are crowned and brackets way southwards, through the south china sea, heading towards malaysia. It looks as though the wind will be can but it will still bring quite a bit of rain. You are right, it is a quieter story back home. Its cold but settled, there is a change on the cards and i will have more on that in a moment. We have got more cloud, particularly across the north and west of scotland, sick enough in some spots to produce some drizzle. A bit breezy out here, we are closer to this area of low pressure, but really, High Pressure remains in charge at the moment, which is why we have the settled conditions. In most places, it is dry and still feeling cold, but still some sunshine around to compensate. As we head into this evening, the wind will strengthen further, particularly in Northern Ireland and the north and west of scotland. As the north and west of scotland. As the night progresses, we will see rain edge its way in. Across england and wales, the skies were clear, like to wind, so a patchy frost likely, could also be some frost in north east scotland, fog will be an issue through parts of the south and east of england as we head towards dawn. In contrast to the temperatures, the blue indicating close to freezing. This is the set up close to freezing. This is the set upfor close to freezing. This is the set up for wednesday, the rain works its way in and pumped into the High Pressure, so itll be a weakening feature as it tracks further south and east words. A blustery day for northern and western parts of scotland, lighter wind across england and wales, so if there is any fog it could linger for much of the day, suppressing the temperatures. Largely fine and dry with some sunshine, squally showers following on from the north and west of scotland, which could have some hailand of scotland, which could have some hail and thunder, temperatures similarto hail and thunder, temperatures similar to today. Here is the game changer, this area of low pressure which works in from the atlantic. That brings mild conditions, but thatis that brings mild conditions, but that is only part of the story, it will also bring strong wind. It will be blustery across the board but particularly for northern and western parts of scotland, where we also have some rain, heavy, persistent rain, particularly over the hills. It could lead to some Flooding Issues into thursday and friday. The difference is the temperatures which are starting to pick upa temperatures which are starting to pick up a little as we head through the day on thursday. Just starting to feel a little milder. It will remain drier and brighter the further south and east you go. Temperatures will continue to rise as we head over night. They will pick up as the night goes on as a milder area works its way down towards the south, so many places starting friday morning with double digits. Some spots havent seen that for some time. On friday, spells of rain, it will be quite a breezy day once again, the milder conditions dont hang around for long as we head into the weekend, it will feel cooler with many places back down in single figures. This is bbc news. Our latest headlines President Trump says he wont get involved in the uk election but insists the us wants nothing to do with the nhs, amid fears it will form a part of post brexit trade talks. We have absolutely nothing to do with that, and we wouldnt want to. If you handed it to us on a silver platter, we want nothing do with it. The president willjoin World Leaders in london this afternoon to celebrate 70 years of nato. Five women who allege they were abused byJeffrey Epstein urge Prince Andrew to testify in their cases. The 12 year boy killed yesterday when a car ploughed into a group of children near a school in essex is named as Harley Watson. Sport now on afternoon live with holly and a busy time in the premier league,weve had a few sackings over the last couple of weeks, any other managers in the frame . With such a spate of sackings recently you can understand why Manchester United boss 0le gunnar soljkaer should be worried. United are ninth in the table follwoing their worst start to a campaign in 31 years and so far in the past week weve seen the arsenal manager sacked, the watford manger, weve had Maurico Pochettino sacked from spurs, so theres been mounting pressure on solkjaer but the man himself he says hes not too concerned but admits the results could be better. In his pre match press conferene ahead of tomorrow nights match with tottenham, solskjaer says theyve simply had too many draws that they should have turned into wins and he played down any talk of him being next. It doesnt make me more concerned, im just focusing on myjob, and that isjust doing as well as i can and looking forward to the next game, but also, look long term, plan things with the board. But its that time of year, its never nice to see your colleagues lose theirjobs. Manchester united face spurs tomorrow evening, so that means the return ofJose Mourinho, interesting to see what reception he recevies. And lionel messi won the ballon dor yet again but liverpool managerjurgen klopp thinks one of his players missed out . Yes, klopp believes that Virgil Van Dijk would have been a worthy winner but does say that he understands why it went to messi, which by the way is the sixth time the argentian has lifted it. The dutch captain played a major role as liverpool won the Champions League last season. They actually beat messis barcelona in the semi final. The last season was, i cannot remember a more impressive season of a defender ever, honestly. So it would have been right as well but i had it was pretty close. Now to cricket and the worst dropped catch youre likely to see. This was the second test against new Zealand England battling not to end it with another defeat. In the end they settled for a draw but it will probably be remembered for this. Joe denly had the chance to remove kane williamson. Straight forward, youd have thought. Bowlerjoffra archer could only laugh. England failed to take a single wicket on the final day, with williamson and ross taylor both on unbeaten centuries when rain brought an early end to the match which means new zealand won it 1 0. Which also means for the first time this century, englands cricketers have gone through the year without winning a single test series. Anthonyjoshua said he has reinvented himself since losing his three world heavyweight titles to andy ruinunior in the summer. The pair meet again in saudi arabia on saturday night, a warning, theres some flash photography coming up. The word from joshuas camp is that his sparring in recent days has been some of the most impressive of his career. Rumours circulated about his condition after his shock defeat by ruiz at Madison Square garden and joshua says he feels different and more like his old self. It was an unknown test, i give the man his credit, he was victorious, well done to him for that. Now its my turn to kind of right my wrongs. He thinks he is truly going to do the same thing and get the same result, but i have had to check myself, reinvent myself to a certain degree. Not physically, i have always been dedicated to the gym. Mentally, understanding what im doing as soon as i step into that boxing ring. Lets go live now to the uk snooker championship at the york barbican, where englands ronnie 0sullivan is attempting to take the title for the eighth time. After breezing through the first two rounds, hes playing Noppon Saengkham of thailand and is leading. Thats all the sport for now. Lets go back our main news this afternoon, World Leaders have descended on the uk for a two day nato summit. Carrie gracie is in Central London for us. Hi, nevera hi, never a dull moment when President Trump comes to town. You can hear the sirens behind me. This is where President Trump is having bilateral meetings this afternoon with some of his nato allies, we saw the french president in there, it was all smiles and handshakes despite some fairly robust language between the two of them on the thorny issue of whether or not nato is brain dead is a Strategic Alliance at the moment. That isnt very flattering language from the french president. Nato is celebrating its 70th birthday and it is adaptable to its future challenges. Right now, President Trump is meeting the canadian Prime Minister in the american ambassadors residence and they have not always had the easiest relationships but you can see all smiles there. Generally the assessment so far has been President Trump has on fairly conciliatory form. He has been taking credit for what he sees as a revitalisation of nato at the moment. He has promised restraint in terms of uk politics, not getting involved in the Election Campaign although he did dip his toe in that water with an endorsement for Boris Johnson and an endorsement for brexit. It is worth mentioning, lets ta ke brexit. It is worth mentioning, lets take a look at downing street because in number ten there is a meeting taking place. Macron hotfooted it from here down to there end arrived, the last in the line of thought nato leaders to go into a meeting and Boris Johnson thought nato leaders to go into a meeting and borisjohnson was there, came back from campaigning to host a meeting that with the french president , also the german chancellor and also interestingly, the turkish president because there is no love lost at the moment between ankara and paris on the question of collegiate behaviour inside nato, some bruising language has been heard to but this evening all differences must be put on for a ceremonial occasion at Buckingham Palace with green and Everyone Needs to be on best behaviour for that. Let s go and hear from to be on best behaviour for that. Let s go and hearfrom our correspondent to what we can get there. Yes, we are heading into the pit of the visit by the royals get heavily involved. We have already seen a number of leaders going into a Clarence House just seen a number of leaders going into a Clarence Housejust a couple seen a number of leaders going into a Clarence House just a couple of hundred metres away from here to have meetings with the prince of wales, Prince Charles, this afternoon. The big event is the perception that the queen is hosting in the Granite State rooms in a couple of hours time early this evening for all the nato leaders. It isa evening for all the nato leaders. It is a big party hosted by the royals but it will be notable for its activities so it is really who is not going than heroes. It is interesting in terms of the royal family. The queen will host it but missing will be william, duke of cambridge who is currently overseas in kuwait, harry and megan also wont be there who are on an extended break. They had spoken recently about the pressures of public life. They have gone on an extended holiday so we wont see them until after christmas and then of course, Prince Andrew, the duke of course, Prince Andrew, the duke of york, still all those rumours about the alleged involvement in the epstein scandal. A couple of weeks ago he stepped back from royal duties and he will not be at the reception he had this afternoon. I think there is no question that had things been different, he would have taken a major part in the celebrations here over the past couple of days. When President Trump came on his state visit back in june, Prince Andrew hosted a business breakfast and was heavily involved in those particular aspects of the visit. He is someone who has been a global trade envoy, someone with a military background so he would have been very well placed to be involved in this visit hosting leaders but he will not be here at Buckingham Palace this evening. That puts yet more pressure on the queen to do the honours there and she has been on the throne for almost as long as the Nato Alliance has been in existence was up do we know what she thinks about it and do we know what role she feels she has in presenting the unity of this alliance or hosting, in a way, to remind those nato leaders of their mission . I think she will very much perceive the perception as being a gentle, typically royal, reminder of just how important the alliance is. As ever, shes not going to get involved in anything too heavily political but it is interesting if we go back tojune, when President Trump was here and she hosted the state banquet, she rather pointedly during her speech that evening talked about the importance of world alliances in keeping and safeguarding global peace and why we should all treasure and realise why it is so important so although she would never speak out particularly openly, i think in her actions, her support of nato at various events, it is pretty clear that she thinks it is pretty clear that she thinks it is pretty clear that she thinks it is an Important Alliance in terms of keeping peace. Many thanks for that and we will go back to the studio and it reminding you that we will be covering everything post here at the american ambassadors residence and also at Buckingham Palace throughout the rest of today. Donald trump has. It is notjust about the us trade deal that is important here . Its not and if the conservatives were to win this election i think one of the big debates next year is what gets prioritised. Is it an attempted trade deal with Donald Trumps america or the United States . The government was able to bet at the same temper that is easier said than done. I think one of the key things about a deal the eu is is it really going to be possible to do that deal by the end of 2020. At the same time. Borisjohnson has said he will not extend the brexit deadline. This is what dominic raab said. We have got that and we have now got to not only a Withdrawal Agreement in the brexit deal but we have a templates and it is doable. It is notjust me saying it can be done by the end of 2020, it is the eu side. What the eu has actually said that it is going to be pretty tight and i think they believe you can do a pretty unambitious trade deal before the end of 2020. It may be one involving goods but not services and services are obviously very important for the uk economy but even to do that deal on goods would mean from the eus perspective, the uk agreeing to what are known as level Playing Field provisions which means sticking close to eu rules on things like workers rights and Environmental Protection and that is where we get back to the other trade deal because donald trump once quite the opposite, he wants the uk to move away from those rules and regulations and move much closer to the american orbit so there is a tension between the two. Even then, with President Trump, it is always about America First, isnt it . We heard that from the inauguration address, he said it is America First. This is not necessarily a free trader, this is a man who has some sort of protectionist agenda. Look at what happened yesterday, the us were preparing tariffs on france and things like champagne, cheese, hand bags because of the frances new Digital Services tax and it also says that it was re imposing tariffs on brazil and argentina on things like steel and aluminium because of what they are doing with their currencies and it said it was looking at broadening tariffs on eu countries including the uk because ofa countries including the uk because of a dispute about subsidies to airbus and all that happened just yesterday so that gives a clue about how difficult it might be to do a free trade deal with someone whose instincts really are quite protectionist. Whilst donald trump has said that the nhs is not on the, we do still no within that that Us Pharmaceutical Companies will be pushing hard to look at things like the price of medicines. We also know that the us wants access to the uks Agricultural Produce and the sector. If the uk gives ground on either of thoseit if the uk gives ground on either of those it is really difficult to see what the uk in return is going to get from its deal with the us. Thank you very much, chris. Scientists say they are almost certain the past decade will prove to have been the hottest on record with this year likely to be one of the warmest. The World Meteorological office report, presented at the un climate talks in madrid, says the record temperatures are driven by Greenhouse Gas emissions. Our environment analyst Roger Harrabin reports. As climate talks start in spain, the teenage activist Greta Thunberg has recrossed the atlantic on her way to a conference where governments are debating what to do to stop the planet overheating. As she arrives, wildfires are raging in australia, choking their cities with smoke. The Australian Government says they are not linked to human made Climate Change. Scientists disagree. The australian population is used to fire, but not like this. This was unprecedentedly early. We have onlyjust gone into summer and these fires started in september. They started in spring. Thats never happened before, and the scale is huge. Record heat in the uk brought transport chaos, and todays World Climate report confirms that the french summer heatwave broke the previous record by 1. 9 degrees. Normally records are only broken by a fraction of a degree. Then theres antarctica. Its frozen interior is shielded from the warming sea by a barrier of ice, but as the climate warms, that barrier is shrinking and some glaciers are slipping into the sea. So in part of west antarctica we are seeing the ice sheet shrinking in a way that accelerates the outflow of ice, so its become self propelling and what we would call it is past the Tipping Point and the retreat may now be irreversible. Ultimately it could give us three metres of sea level rise, which, for scientists like myself, is deeply concerning. Meanwhile the gases that are overheating the planet are still on the rise. The uk is a leader in climate policy, but even here there are contradictions. More and more people, for instance, are buying big Sport Utility vehicles like this, which are high on emissions, and even if they are battery powered, they still take a lot of resources. In madrid, International Protesters are demanding more action from their politicians. The worlds extreme weather is sending them all a very clear message. Roger harrabin, bbc news. Meanwhile, Climate Change activist Greta Thunberg has arrived at a port in lisbon after a 20 day from new york on a catamaran. She will be attending the cop25 Climate Change summit in madrid. Speaking to the press, she says that she will continue to fight there to make sure the voices of future generations are being heard. I will continue the fight there to make sure that within those walls the voices of the people are being heard and that the voices of the future generations are being heard and that the voices from the people, especially from the global south are being heard. Every year uk consumers buy billions of plastic bottles, cans and Takeaway Coffee cups, yet the many city centres dont offer any street recycling facilities. Could smiley brightly coloured bins which use local accents be the answer . They think so in leeds, where a year long project is being hailed as a big success. 0livia richwald reports. We are consuming more on the go food and drink than ever before. 13 billion plastic bottles and 3 billion coffee cups in the uk every year. It is a mountain of waste that in most cases is incinerated or sent to landfill because there isnt city centre recycling. Leeds by example tried to change that. Before this project started, there was no on street recycling in leeds and that goes for the majority of the local authorities. Now there are so orange bins for empty coffee cups, yellow bins for cans and plastic bottles and the black bin for everything else. We have looked and spent time observing people using bins, a fun activity, and found that people spent under two seconds so they arent going to read a long list of dos and donts so we are going to make it really straightforward and simple as to what can be collected. The trial also decorated the bins with yorkshire dialect which proved popular on social media and cafe and workplaces in the city centre offered coffee cup recycling. But did it work . Over the course of a year, 1. 2 million coffee cups were collected and processed and 300,000 plastic bottles and cans were captured but more education is needed because audits reveal that 80 of cans and plastic were still thrown in black bins even with recycling options nearby. We have had some success. We think it might take a few more years to really see the behaviour start to set in. We have 1. 2 Million People using the city centre per week. That is a lot of people, a lot of people from out of leeds who are getting used to this new system. One of the biggest problems with this project has been contamination. This is coming up to christmas, it is cava and it is actually full. Elaine was in charge of monitoring how much extra rubbish was thrown in recycling bins. Theres paper, food waste, a pair of pants, it is horrible. But are these types typical . They were much worse. Now i think the contamination is reducing, it is becoming habitual. People are using them regularly. The trial in leeds has now finished but the council will continue running the scheme and it has also been rolled out in swansea and edinburgh. It is hoped that time and awareness will one day make recycling on the go as commonplace as the morning cuppa. The dress worn by Princess Diana when she danced withjohn travolta at the white house will go under the hammer later today. A number of dresses including the Midnight Blue velvet evening gown worn at the state dinner in washington in 1985 are up for auction. The iconic dress is expected to fetch between £250,000 and £350,000. Now its time for a look at the weather with stav. We are continuing with the settled story for the next couple of days before we see a big change by the end of the week, telling wetter, windier and milderfor a end of the week, telling wetter, windier and milder for a time. End of the week, telling wetter, windierand milderfora time. High pressure is keeping things largely fine and settled. Funny slack isobars to there wont be much around stare the atmosphere. Through the day, a bit more cloud around for england and wales, some sunny spells, a bit of sunshine for the north east of scotland but the cloud, could see a bit of drizzle in the high slopes of scotland. Mild but a fairly chilly day for most of us. See weather fronts arrive across the north west, strengthening winds to bed elsewhere when we have clear skies, is to scotland, much of and wales is going be another chilly one. A touch of frost in places, especially for midlands and southwards and southwards and we could see one or two mr frost patches as well. As we head into wednesday, this will be moving slowly south eastward and fizzle out but it will bring a wet morning for Northern Ireland, parts of western scotla nd Northern Ireland, parts of western scotland and it was slowly push into central areas through the day. For much of england and wales it is a chilly start, mist and fog around, early frost which attempt to clear, we will see variable cloud and sunny spells again. It will be another chilly day for most of us but again the fat north west temperature is just making double figures. Then we look to the west as we head into thursday and this next area of low pressure is going to bring significant change. A blustery day across the country and quite a bit of rainfall, especially across scotla nd of rainfall, especially across scotland and western scotland where we could see some localised flooding by the end of the day. Gail is affecting northern and Western Areas but a blustery day even further south and despite the breeze should have quite a bit of sunshine across central and southern england. Much milder across northern and Western Areas as temperatures into the low teens. As we had three thursday night, that milder air eventually arrives across south eastern areas are so into friday, quite a messy picture. Another blustery day, not quite as windy as their stay. We will have showers and longer spells of rain across southern areas. Sunshine and showers following on behind and something a bit cooler putting in to the north as you can see that at a very mild day in the south and east. Hello, youre watching afternoon live. Im lukwesa burak. Today at 4pm President Trump says he wont get involved in the election but insists the us wants nothing to do with the nhs amid fears it will form a part of post brexit trade talks. Absolutely. I dont even know where that rumour started, we have absolutely nothing to do with it and we wouldnt want to. If you handed it to us on a silver platter, we want nothing to do with it. As World Leaders meet to mark the 70th aninversary of nato, President Trump accuses president macron of france of being nasty about the organisation, but mr macron says he stands by his words. And president macron isjoined by Angela Merkel and president erdogan in downing street, where theyre currently meeting with borisjohnson.

We look forward to that, thank you very much. Also coming up climate Scientists Say they are almost certain the past decade will prove to have been the hottest on record with this year likely to be one of the warmest. Hello, there, this is afternoon live. Im lukwesa burak. Our main news today President Trump is in london ahead of a gathering of 29 nato leaders thats taking place in hertfordshire. Theres already controversy around the meeting, with intense disagreement between some leaders over security issues, and continuing arguments over money. Mr trump has tackled a number of issues in a series of statements and interviews over the course of the day. Nine days ahead of the general election, the us president said he could work with anybody in numer ten. Carrie gracie is in Central London for us. Carrie. Hello. As you said, there are extreme delicacies around this on a domestic uk political dimension and on the International Stage in terms of those 29 allies of nato. And some of their really quite stark differences in how they see the Alliance Going forward profits 70th anniversary. I am outside the american ambassadors residence in london, winfield house. Its been a busy day with lots of security coming and going and lots of big Diplomatic Missions arriving. We have seen, this afternoon, the french president coming for a bilateral conversation with President Trump, quite a tricky one, that. Also the canadian Prime Minister, justin trudeau. 0ne bilateral that is not happening and this is very significant, is a uk us bilateral. No meeting scheduled as such or publicised at least between Boris Johnson as such or publicised at least between borisjohnson and donald trump. That is due to the sensitivity surrounding the uk election in just sensitivity surrounding the uk election injust nine sensitivity surrounding the uk election in just nine days time. That the us president did say, this morning, ina that the us president did say, this morning, in a press conference that he would not wade into, he would not get involved or interfere, in the uk election. But he couldnt resist dipping his toe in the water with little endorsement for Boris Johnson and an endorsement for brexit. Lets examine the uk political dimension of this moment here, now, with our correspondent, jonathan blake. Arriving during an Election Campaign is unusual for a president of the United States, but Donald Trumps visit was supposed to be strictly focused on the nato summit. No high profile meeting with the Prime Minister, officials acknowledging that the president knows he shouldnt get involved. After his motorcade rolled into london this morning and the president took questions from the press, it sounded at first like donald trump might stick to the script. I will stay out of the election. But. I think boris is very capable and he will do a good job. After showing support for borisjohnson, he was asked about Jeremy Corbyn becoming Prime Minister. I can work with anybody, im a very easy person to work with. Jeremy corbyn has written to the us president about concerns the nhs could form part of a trade deal. Campaigning in london this morning, he had this warning for donald trump. Obviously, we want a Good Relationship with the usa but the trade talks undertaken by the government have been done in secret and we do not accept any idea of us companies coming in to run our National Health service or the idea of extending patents on medicine, which would increase costs for our National Health service. Earlier this year, the president said everything would be on the table, but now. I dont even know where the rumour started, we have absolutely nothing to do with it and we wouldnt to do with it and we wouldnt want to, if you handed it to us on a silver platter, we want nothing to do with it. Borisjohnson met military veterans in wilstshire today. How are you doing, anyway . Not too bad, thank you, bearing up. He again said the nhs wouldnt form part of trade talks and attacked Jeremy Corbyns record on security and defence. There is a stark contrast between our approach which sees the value of nato as the protector and guarantor of our security, and that ofJeremy Corbyn and the labour party which wants to disband nato, seems to be quite incredible position to take, that is the choice at this election, injust nine days time. Labour says it will maintain the uk commitment to nato despite Boris Johnsons claim. Donald trumps comments on the nhs will ensure that subject remains a talking point with nine days to go until the election. Jonathan blake, bbc news, westminster. Well, not everybody in the Political Landscape is reassured by the us president scomments about not touching the nhs, even if handed over on a silver platter. Snp leader Nicola Sturgeon today has reacted to those President Trump comments this afternoon. Her party are proposing legislative protection to stop the nhs being included in any future trade talks with the us. It was donald trump who previously said everything was on the table in trade negotiations. I can but this as delicately and diplomatically as possible, i dont want the future of our nhs to be dependent on trusting the word of borisjohnson or our nhs to be dependent on trusting the word of Boris Johnson or donald trump. So lets have legislation that explicitly and in statute takes any risk of trade negotiations to the nhs away and makes absolutely clear that the nhs notjust nhs away and makes absolutely clear that the nhs not just will not nhs away and makes absolutely clear that the nhs notjust will not be on the table but could not be on the table in any trade negotiations. Thats the kind of policy that the snp after this election will be pursuing andl snp after this election will be pursuing and i hope will have support from other parties. Well, its always full of delicate and not dull moments when the us president comes to visit. Well, its not only uk politicians who find relations with donald trump somewhat awkward after president macron of france described the nato they met this afternoon, the two president s behind me and it was all smiles for the camera. President macron had a few words to say about the brain dead comment and the effo rts the brain dead comment and the efforts to build unity in the alliance. Translation cooperation between our two countries, whether its military, economic or diplomatic, is important, and sometimes, we dont agree. That happened on climate, but on the fight against terrorism, on key missions, our soldiers, our teams work side by side. Worth noting, however, that even if the teams on the ground work side by side, the leadership comes from the top not always quite so obliging and President Trump said president macrons comments that they were. Nasty, disrespectful, dangerous. Lets listen in. The president and i feel like we need more flexible at the end we can both agree with that. We can use it for other things, notjust both agree with that. We can use it for other things, not just looking at one specific country. In that people say it was meant to look at originally the soviet union a lot of people. Now russia. But we also have other things to look at. Nato is becoming different than it was, much bigger than it was, and much stronger than it was because people are now fulfilling their commitments here. The intention for the summit was to provide an image of unity on this 70th anniversary. Some issues have been discussed this afternoon in downing street. As president macron arrived in downing street for the meeting with german chancellor Angela Merkel going in. We also had president macron and president erdogan of turkey, now. He and president macron of france have got a very frosty relationship at the moment, after the turkish action in Northern Syria. President macron very unimpressed by the failure to consult other nato allies on that other than the americans. And that a meeting going on behind the door of number ten right now. That meeting. Lets talk to our correspondent on the ground in downing street. What do we know about what has been said . L downing street. What do we know about what has been said . A few awkward moments you highlighted between President Trump and president macron. There probably could be a few awkward moments inside numberten could be a few awkward moments inside number ten downing street. For the last hour and a half we saw Angela Merkel arrive and then president erdogan and then president macron. These are meant to be bilateral meetings with the Prime Minister borisjohnson. But i would imagine if president macron and president erdogan were to meet, there could be some pretty strong words. We had president macron earlier saying that nato needed to clarify its strategic aims. He was, again, critical of turkey taking what he saw as unilateral action in syria against the kurds, who were a key ally to nato in the fight against isis. He also criticised turkey for doing a deal with russia, for a Russian Missile defence system. And he also said there needed to be a new Nuclear Disarmament treaty after the collapse of the one that was built after the cold war between the United States and russia. President macron outspoken and whether he gets a chance to be outspoken with president erdogan behind me in downing street, we just dont know at the moment. We just saw president erdogan going in. Of course, his tone so far has been utterly defiant. He said if anyone was brain dead it was the french president. Thats right. Thats why, as i say, they are speaking plainly and directly to each other face to face and it could be pretty awkward. The interesting thing is that we are not expecting President Trump here for a bilateral meeting. We are expecting him he had little later for a reception at downing street, thats under that reception at Buckingham Palace. But as i said, President Trump not having a bilateral meeting. He was criticised by france, Emmanuel Macron, for pulling out American Forces from Northern Syria, something which some nato allies, including france, said gave the green light for turkey to take that action against Kurdish Forces in Northern Syria. I know you will come back to us even when there is more from there but right now, lets leave and talk to lord ricketts, who was uk ambassador to france from 2012 to 2016. And before that the ukip is a National Security adviser in an eminently good position to assess this for us the uks National Security adviser. Some would say this is a very Resilient Alliance, the strongest and longest etc in military history and that it is dealt has dealt with all kinds of controversy before and it will get with it and adapt. Is that your assessment . Yes, that is all true. 70 years on, this is a very useful and visited a mind is that what you have just been describing in your package is nato providing a forum to have some very frank and very direct exchanges between heads of state, particularly the three president s, trump, macron and erdogan. And in some senses absorbing those pressures and giving them a forum in which to sort them out. I am confident that tomorrow when they sit around the table together they will be a much more unified presence about nato and the value of nato. They will put out a statement that will confirm that. But there is no doubting there are some pretty serious tensions between the individual countries. You have a special insight in the french worldview having been based there so long. Do you think the view that president macron is putting forward in terms of europe are really staying up and on this continent we cannot rely on the United States for the long term future, because its attention to asia will naturally drift to asia, whether or not youve got a drift to asia, whether or not youve gota trump drift to asia, whether or not youve got a trump in power, and we in europe need to step up and pay for our own defence, coordinate our own defence and take a lot more geopolitical responsibility. Is he making a legitimate point in your view . He is certainly making a legitimate point. That europe has not been pulling its weight on defence spending and overall contribution towards the burden in the Transatlantic Alliance. America has been doing more then we should have expected. In the last three or four years, partly because President Trumps pressure and partly because of the threat from russia, nato countries are spending more on defence. President macron is about, europe should be doing that. Where i disagree with him is to give the impression that somehow europe could do without the us. He talks about what he calls strategic autonomy, which i interpret to mean, if necessary, europe should step up, because the United States might go their own way. I think thats a mistake. I think it could become a self fulfilling prophecy, if were not careful. Yes, europe should do more, but very much in coordination within and part of the Transatlantic Alliance with the us. And, also, we should try and have a common line on russia. Because president macron has been much warmer towards a new dialogue with moscow than many other countries around nato, including the Baltic States and those who live nearer to russia. There are differences there. At present macron is right to bring them out and to allow them to be discussed in a frank way but president. Allow them to be discussed in a frank way but president. Does anyone line up behind him or does the fact that he states this mother robust, independent position in a loud voice enable anybody else to about a more unified position he states this robust. When he talks about nato being brain dead, nobody else shared that view and indeed chancellor merkel of germany put him fairly sharply back in his place on that. But when he says im making a wake up call, we need to recognise that there are some quite profound differences around the nato table with turkey and america now having a greater view towards a power competition with china, everybody agrees we need to think about that. We need to get some wise heads to go away and think about what is the political role of nato in the years to come. But i think what we will see tomorrow and when this build up is over is actually nato getting on with modernising itself and taking on new challenges like Cyber Security and being useful to all its member states. I hope this rather tumultuous build up and tomorrow will be more a demonstration of unity around natos 70th birthday. Thank you so much forjoining us from westminster. I am still outside the us ambassadors residents. Im joined by lewis lukens former deputy head of mission at the us embassy in london, currently senior partner with signum global advisors. Thanks very much forjoining us. You have seen these nato summits come and go, youve seen us state visits to london, and go. Nearly 24 into this particular piece of choreography, how do you think its going . Well, it is fascinating. After three years of bashing nato and bullying up on nato, President Trump is suddenly the saviour because he is responding to present macrons criticisms of nato. Its a very interesting flipping of roles. Kind of low expectations allows you to exceed them . Kind of low expectations allows you to exceed them . Extremely low expectations and all of a sudden, present macron is the bad guy and President Trump can swoop in and be the saviour to be the good guy. Theres still a lot of time to go and they havent had a formal meeting yet, which will be tomorrow. We still have to wait and see how the rest of the summit goes. But i think President Trump so far has been pretty restrained in his criticism. Where do you think the truth lies in relation to present macron point that we cant rely on the americas but very bluntly, and we need to have some strategic autonomy, versus we need to have some strategic autonomy, versus many of the other allies in europe of nato who would have dearly loved to continue to rely on the United States . Its a great point. Realistically, most of those allies are also wondering how reliable the United States is these days, there is no doubt that President Trump as weakened some of our alliances and is a less reliable partner for our friends and allies around the world. On the other hand, most of the leaders dont want to say that out loud and dont want to say that out loud and dont want to say to President Trumps face. They are letting macron take the heat for that. Do you think there is truth to the point that some of them make in a way highlighting these fishes, president macron make the fishes wider. Fissures. Normally this is diplomatic and behind closed doors unlocked out in public. The public rancour that is going back and forth between President Trump and present macron is very unusual, especially for such old allies like the us and french. In specially in the context of nato. Lets talk about the us uk relationship. Whatever you say about the rancour between them, at least they did have a bilateral meeting in the building behind us. Unusually, we see no bilateral schedule between the uk Prime Minister and us president , almost unheard of. Its not because of any rancour, President Trump recognises and Prime Minister johnson rancour, President Trump recognises and Prime Ministerjohnson didnt wa nt and Prime Ministerjohnson didnt want to have a bilateral meeting. President trump, as you know, is very unpopular in the United Kingdom and for Prime Ministerjohnson, a week before the election, keeping a bit ofan week before the election, keeping a bit of an arms length distance from trump is better for his electoral goal was, i think. Thank trump is better for his electoral goalwas, ithink. Thank you trump is better for his electoral goal was, i think. Thank you so trump is better for his electoral goalwas, i think. Thank you so much for joining goalwas, i think. Thank you so much forjoining us. Lots more to come. Both he at the residents but also in downing street and later on at Clarence House with Prince Charles here at the residents. Nato allies have a long night ahead of them and so does bbc coverage, we will be with you every step of the way. Back to you. Thank you. Youre watching afternoon live, these are our headlines President Trump says he wont get involved in the election but insists the us isnt interested in the nhs when it comes to possible uk us trade talks. As World Leaders meet to mark the 70th aninversary of nato, President Trump accuses president macron of france of being nasty about the organisation, but mr macron says he stands by his words. Five women who allege they were abused byJeffrey Epstein urge Prince Andrew to testify in their cases. And in sport. Manchester united manager 0le Gunnar Solskjaer says hes not worried about his job, despite the rumours and the recent glut of sackings. Liverpool boss jurgen klopp says his defender virgil van dyke would have been a worthy winner of the ballon d0r after lionel messi pipped him to the post to win it for a sixth time. And Anthony Joshua says hes reinvented himself, as he prepares for his re match with andy ruinunior, who took his three world heavyweight titles in the summer. Ill be back with more on those stories at half four. Back to the topic of donald trump now. He of donald trump now. Is in london as part of the n summit. Today he said he could work with any any leader who was elected uk Prime Minister. 0n the campaign trail, the lib dem leaderjo swinson was asked if she could work with him. Of course, in a government situation, you have to be able to work with people where you disagree with them, who are the leaders around the world. I think thats different to rolling out the red carpet, which is what we have seen this government do. You know, donald trump does not deserve that honour of the state visit he had earlier this year. He is not someone who shares our values. He has demonstrated that through the way in which hes talked about women, bad minorities, the way he has been separating children from their pa rents separating children from their parents at the border in his own country. This is not someone who shares our values, not someone we should be rolling out the red carpet for. Obviously, you engage with and work with people around the world who you agree with and those who you disagree with, too. In many ways, borisjohnson seems disagree with, too. In many ways, Boris Johnson seems to be disagree with, too. In many ways, borisjohnson seems to be doing best to be avoided avoid being seen with him. If you had five minutes alone with donald trump, what would you talk about . I would challenge him particularly on the Climate Emergency. This is a man who is denying the science, denying that very real threat to our future survival. You know, by pulling out of the paris climate accords, he is undermining the International Agreement that we have fought for so hard, that liberal democrats in government were instrumental in making sure that the uk played a leading role in europe. In europe played a leading baltic and the International Agreement and donald trump is undermining that. A leading role on. Our childrens future depends on tackling the Climate Emergency and that is what i would bend Donald Trumps here about ifi would bend Donald Trumps here about if i got the opportunity. Donald trumps ear about. 0fcom has rejected a complaint from the conservatives after channel 4 used a melting Ice Sculpture to represent borisjohnson during a climate debate last week. The media regulator says the act was not a breach of impartiality and election rules. Five women who accused the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein of abusing them, are calling on Prince Andrew to testify in their cases. Their lawyer told the bbcs Panorama Programme that he plans to try to compel the duke legally to give evidence. The programme centred on an interview with the woman who says she was forced to have sex with the prince when she was 17. Prince andrew denies any such relationship. 0ur royal correspondent, Nicholas Witchell, reports. The pressure on andrew shows no sign of easing. His rejection of the allegations against him remains absolute. But in her first British Television interview, Virginia GiuffreVirginia Roberts, as she was repeated her story of being trafficked by the sex offenderJeffrey Epstein. One of those she was told to sleep with, she told the bbcs Panorama Programme, was Prince Andrew. She said the instruction came from epsteins friend, Ghislaine Maxwell, after a visit to a london nightclub. So, andrew drives in the other car. Hes not with us, hes with his security guards. And in the car, ghislaine tells me that. I have to do for andrew what i do forjeffrey. And that made me sick. I just didnt expect it from royalty. In court documents, Ghislaine Maxwell has said all Virginia Giuffres claims are lies. Andrew, too, has been emphatic in his denials. It never happened. Do you recall any kind of sexual contact with Virginia Roberts then, or any other time . None whatsoever. And yet, virginia guiffres challenge to andrew is a direct one. He knows what happened. I know what happened. And theres only one of us telling the truth. Now, us lawyers are intensifying their demands for andrew to step forward and be questioned under oath as a potential witness to what occurred inJeffrey Epsteins homes. Prince andrew, every day the clock is ticking, while he delays, and, as ive said, he should provide his testimony without condition, without delay. Without saying yes, or seek the advice of his lawyers or as required, required by whom . Its required for the truth, its required forjustice. Andrew has said he will cooperate, if required, with us Law Enforcement agencies, but he has not said whether hes prepared to be questioned by lawyers for epsteins victims. Nicholas witchell, bbc news. A man has been arrested by police in essex investigating the death of 12 year old Harley Watson, who was killed when a car hit a group of people outside a school in essex yesterday. The 51 year old is being held on suspicion of murder and the attempted murder of five other people injured in the crash. Charlotte rose reports. Flowers of remembrance for a School Community in mourning. Students arriving at Debden Park High School laid flowers to their fellow pupil, named locally as Harley Watson, who died in what is described as a hit and run just metres from the school gates. The sense of shock here is palpable. The tears of a relieved mother just grateful her son, who was one of those injured, got to come home last night. You know, he just has tissue damage and concussion, but he is lucky. You know, yeah, very lucky. Parents today accompanying their children to school to make sure they get there safely. Children should be safe. I know this is slightly different, but. Itsjust too much pain. Theyve taken our babies out of the community, havent they . For those parents, iwouldnt even know what to say to them if we saw them, you just wouldnt know what to say. Earlier, the schools head teacher pay tribute to him. This young man has made his mark on the school and was liked and loved by staff and students. We will consult with his family and our community to decide how best to commemorate his life. The pile of flowers here continues to grow as students, parents, and staff show their grief at the loss of one of their own. One message reads, i will miss you so much, harley, be forever in our hearts. Police say theyre not looking for anyone else in connection with this incident following the arrest of a 51 year old last night, but they have urged anyone with information to contact them on the 101 number. Now its time for a look at the weather with mel coles. Hello, there. Milder conditions lurk just around the corner, but it will be turning wetter and windier. Today its a fairly settled story. Most places remaining dry with some spells of sunshine, the thickest of the cloud across northern and western parts of scotland, where its a little breezy, too, and those winds will strengthen further as we head into this evening. There may be clear skies for North Eastern parts of scotland and across large parts of england and wales, so a patchy so a patchy frost expected here as those temperatures drop closer to freezing, but quite a contrast to the temperatures the further north and west you go. So, through wednesday, our band of rain will weaken as it tracks a little further south and east. Fairly blustery across northern and western parts of scotland. Some squally showers will follow on behind. A quieter story across much of england and wales. Fine and dry with spells of sunshine. That is where we dont keep the fog for much of the day, which could suppress the temperatures. And it will be another cool one for many areas. This is bbc news, our latest headlines President Trump says he wont get involved in the election but insists the us wants nothing to do with the nhs, amid fears it will form a part of post brexit trade talks. As World Leaders meet to mark the 70th aninversary of nato, President Trump accuses president macron of france of being nasty about the organisation, but mr. Macron says he stands by his words. And president macron was joined by other World Leaders at number ten downing street where theyre currently meeting with borisjohnson. Five women who allege they were abused byJeffrey Epstein urge Prince Andrew to testify in their cases. The 12 year old boy killed yesterday when a car ploughed into a group of children near a school in essex is named as Harley Watson. Sport now on afternoon live with holly and a busy time in the premier league, weve had a few sackings over the last couple of weeks, any other managers in the frame . It feels like we are getting almost one a week but you can understand why some feel under pressure. You can understand why Manchester United boss 0le gunnar soljkaer should be worried. United are ninth in the table follwoing their worst start to a campaign in 31 years and so far in the past week weve seen the arsenal manager sacked, the watford manger, weve had Maurico Pochettino sacked from spurs, so theres been mounting on pressure solkjaer but the man himself he says hes not too concerned but admits the results could be better. In his pre match press conferene ahead of tomorrow nights match with tottenham, solskjaer says theyve simply had too many draws that they should have turned into wins and he played down talk of him being next. It doesnt make me more concerned, im just focusing on myjob, and that isjust doing as well as i can and looking forward to the next game, but also, look long term, plan things with the board. But its that time of year, its never nice to see your colleagues lose theirjobs. Manchester united face spurs tomorrow evening so that means the return ofJose Mourinho to old trafford interesting to see what reception he recevies. But liverpool managerjurgen klopp wasnt happy, what happened . Yes, klopp believes that Virgil Van Dijk would have been a worthy winner but does say that he understands why it went to messi, which by the way is the sixth time the argentian has lifted it. The dutch captain played a major role as liverpool won the Champions League last season. They actually beat messis barcelona in the semi final. The last season was, if you really go for only that season i cannot remember a more impressive season of a defender ever, honestly. So it would have been right as well but i heard it was pretty close. Its also the time of year that talk turns to the january transfer window but when he was questioned about possible purchases, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola was very quick to say he had no plans to buy anyone. Looking ahead to january, do you think. Nope. So you definitely wont spend any money . I dont want any players in january. Is that because it kind of disrupts the team at mid season . I dont want any players. We cannot do it in summer, we cannot do injanuary. Anthonyjoshua said he has reinvented himself since losing his three world heavyweight titles to andy ruinunior in the summer. The pair meet again in saudi arabia on saturday night, a warning, theres some flash photography coming up. The word from joshuas camp is that his sparring in recent days has been some of the most impressive of his career. Rumours circulated about his condition after his shock defeat by ruiz at Madison Square garden and joshua says he feels different and more like his old self. It was an unknown test, i give the man his credit, he was victorious, well done to him for that. Now its my turn to kind of right my he thinks he is probably going to do the same thing and get the same result, but i have had to check myself, reinvent myself to a certain degree. Not physically, i have always been dedicated to the gym. Mentally, understanding exactly what im doing as soon as i step into that boxing ring. Ronnie 0sullivan is a step closer to successfully defending his uk championship title. He beat thailands player 6 2 in the third round at the york barbican. As well as defending the title, victory in the championship would see 0sullivan win the trophy for an eighth time. Thats all the sport for now. Jane dougal will be back with more in the next hour. More on trumps visit to london marking the 70th anniversary of the organisation. Lets speak to our correspondent. President trump is in london. A few people here with very strong views about the president , im joined by a few of them now. You teach magda because students and very concerned by the nhs but President Trump has said he doesnt want it . He has said he doesnt want a lot of things but then turns around and get them anyway. I dont think it is a case of deeds not words. Words are cheap. Ido of deeds not words. Words are cheap. I do think. Big campaigns for the nhs, do not believe borisjohnson has said the nhs will never be for sale . He lies, you know that. He gets away with it. He is above the law. Borisjohnson is. Honestly. He would say i am telling the truth and im not going to sell the nhs. If you believe that. He lies, lies, lies. Daniel, you are 21 and a student studying in london, why dont you like a president . Obama did such a good job and when President Trump came into office he brought so much racism and what took so long to. He is not giving the opportunity for people to come to our country and build a life for themselves and their families. Your mum is on holiday and you have brought her down as well and obviously trump would say America First and he is doing all these things for america and is not a racist, what would you be your response . I dont believe him at all. You are down here complaining about why you so worried about trump and why dont you want him here . Racism, giving platforms to people like tommy robinson. I am just so worried, we are leading up to a general election and we cant avoid the topic of brexit and the selling of the nhs. Ive grown up having the nhs at my fingertips and the idea thatis nhs at my fingertips and the idea that is going to be stripped away from us im just devastated. That is going to be stripped away from us imjust devastated. Both men, mrtrump and from us imjust devastated. Both men, mr trump and mrjohnson is saying theyre not going to sell the nhs, trump saying he doesnt want to buy it but there are lots of strong views down here. Lets turn to the election now with just over a week of campaigning left. Throughout the campaign, weve been focusing on parts of the uk where seats are expected to be closely contested. Today, were in enniskillen, which is in the Northern Irish constituency Fermanagh South Tyrone. This seat has been held by sinn fein since 2017, when they unseated the former Ulster Unionist Party leader tom elliott. Three of the four constituencies neighbouring it are also held by sinn fein, the other by the dup. Fermanagh and south tyrone is one of the tightest battle grounds in Northern Ireland between unionism and nationalism. Sinn fein currently have a majority ofjust 875. Since the seat was created in 1950 it has been represented by six separate nationalist mps and five unionist mps. The constituency is on the border and our correspondent has been speaking to islanders about what matters to them. If you thought the Election Campaign was an unpredictable, adrenaline pumping race, try this. Garryjennings passion, dedication and skill have won him International Rally driving prizes. His life is fast paced in other ways too. Like many Business People in this area, he pays his way by having a few different interests, from fuel sales to farming. But the man who loves to keep moving is frustrated by political paralysis, both at stormont and in the brexit process. Its just uncertainty. We need to know whats happening and we need to know soon, because theres nobody investing in here. Theres nobody making positive decisions in anything. And i think that is the real problem. If we just decide what is happening and we know how its going to happen, itll survive, but we just need to know. Just down the road, you get to pettigo, a place which shows why that uncertainty is so unsettling. The border is this river, which runs right through the village. A derelict customs post remains as a relic from different times. Two soldiers. This bbc film, from 35 years ago, captured the unique local challenges. This is a smuggler. Shes on a return trip from britain into ireland with quantities of butter, bread and tinned food, all of which are cheaper in ulster. 7, 979. Pensioners here remember well the days of disruption, amidst the troubles. It was an awful handicap to have the roads blowing up all around you, that you couldnt travel. Some of the times, they were filled in, but then the army came in and reopened them. Then the customs, they were there. When you come over the border. They then searched you. So, that was the way it was. The future of the frontier is very much playing into the big numbers game of how people will vote. Well, its often been said in the last few years that this border is pretty much invisible, although brexit means its loomed large in the political debates in the uk. However, for generations in Northern Ireland, elections have, in a sense, tended to be about this frontier. In particular, the question as to whether it should exist at all. The contest between unionists and nationalists is always tight in this constituency. This campaigner thinks that kind of politics doesnt really work. Its about identity and its about a sense of belonging, and when that feels questioned or chastised or pointed at, then people, i think, end up falling back into those camps. However, i think there is an increasing desire for day to day politics. At the edge of the United Kingdom, the issues are unlike anywhere else, but that means the election matters all the more here. Chris page, bbc news, pettigo. Lets go to enniskillen, my colleague Annita Mcveigh is there. Annita. You have moved indoors . We have, we are warming up because it has been pretty cold but we are inside in the cafe right now. Lets discuss this election a little bit more because the Electoral Office for Northern Ireland says that since early november, 72 and a half thousand people have registered in Northern Ireland to vote and if Northern Ireland to vote and if Northern Ireland to vote and if Northern Ireland mirrors the rest of the uk, many of those people will be young voters. I have three of them here with me right now. They are all 18 and they all have the potential to vote for the first time in this election and they are all students at the southwest further education couege at the southwest further Education College here in fermanagh. I have her someone who is voting for the nationalist party sinn fein, youll be voting for the Ulster Unionist Party and leave it you are not going to vote, why not . I dont feel like any party represents me or cares. Why do you say that . All i hear about is brexit but i am disabled and if you look around the street, the pavements are a disgrace for disabled people. Is it difficult to navigate with your wheelchair . Yes, there is not really much i can do about that. There is no one that ca res about that. There is no one that cares about the services for disabled people, nobody cares, they are worried about gay marriage and abortion, issues that should be opened and closed, not discussed. there was an opportunity to vote in an assembly election, that might be something that you vote for potentially . Not a westminster election. What is the point because sinn fein isnt in westminster, the Unionist Party does represent me and they are the main ones. There is no way of me goings knowing, the Alliance Party might be good but there is no way of knowing that my vote matters. You are going to vote for sinn fein. Why have you chosen to vote for them in your first opportunity to vote in a general election . First offi am opportunity to vote in a general election . First off i am from a catholic background so my parents are also for sinn fein as well but it is because of brexit, i want to remain in europe and sinn fein are pro europe. Remain in europe and sinn fein are proeurope. Is this more about Family Tradition or is it more about the fact that they are a remain a supporting party . I think it has to do with both but because they are a remain supporting party it has a big influence on my vote personally. They are are an abstention as party and they dont take their seats at westminster so if you vote for the sinn fein candidate and she wins, is she really representing you . Dont you want a voice at westminster . would love a voice at westminster so i hope they do make the right choice and choose to remain no matter what. Would you like them to change their policy . Yes, definitely. That is interesting. Why are you going to fight the ulster unionist candidate . I feel like they do more. The dup dont have a candidate in this area. They deliberately havent stood in this area to give the ulster unionist candidate the best chance at beating the sinn fein candidate so do you support the dup on brexit . It is kind of tough, that, because brexit is going to happen anyway so i think they will alljust argue over nothing to be honest. So, you sound a little unsure about whether you should perhaps vote for a candidate that supports backs that even though he describes himself as a soft lever, he is not a hard brexit candidate. Is there anywhere else where you have considered putting a vote . No. I will always putting a vote . No. I will always put my vote there. Is that because of Family Tradition again . put my vote there. Is that because of Family Tradition again . I guess it is. It is interesting listening to you because there has been a lot of discussion about whether this new generation indolent island might break away in Northern Ireland, from those traditions but talking to you this doesnt seem to be the case . Leave, you are the only one of these three who are doing Something Different niamh. What would you say to the candidates while standing, what could they could say to convince you that you should be voting . I dont know really. When my family voted, they traditionally vote sinn fein because im from a catholic background. Might you place your vote elsewhere for candidates back to you on those issues which are important to you . May be, i dont really care about the election andi dont really care about the election and i want the candidate that speaks to me about the issues that matter in Northern Ireland and notjust brexit because itll happen or it wont happen it is an open and closed issue, you cant change it. Ina word, closed issue, you cant change it. In a word, yes or no, do you think if there is a bit of a shift in the political make up of the political constituencies in Northern Ireland it is going to do anything to get summoned up and running again . Stormont hasnt been up and running for a while now. So you dont have much optimism . No. No. No, definitely not. Thank you. The winner of the worlds most famous and important contemporary art prize, the turner prize , will be announced later this evening. Four artists are shortlisted for the prestigous award and our arts correspondent, rebecca jones, has been exploring their work which is displayed at the turner contemporary in margate. They are, said the british artist, jmw turner, the lovely skies in all europe. And on the spot he painted them now sounds the Turner Contemporary Art gallery, playing host to the prize that also bears his name. Step inside and join this unusual congregation of stuffed mannequins, representing the modern worker, their view of the sea is blocked because we live in dark times. They were created by the colombian born artist, 0scar murillo. Next is a film lasting one hour and 40 minutes. It explores the largely overlooked role of women in the Civil Rights Movement in Northern Ireland in the 1960s. And we dont want to see the face of a policeman ever again. Its the work of helen cammock, who was a social worker before becoming an artist. Now, lets enter the surreal world of tai shani. Inspired by science fiction, she has created a futuristic feminist city. The women up there is telling a story which lasts seven hours. Tai shani, who grew up in a commune in goa, is largely self taught. People really leave their cell, theyre blindfolded as they enter and exit. Lawrence abu hamdan calls himself a privateer. He gathered accounts from prisoners tortured in a syrianjail, based on what they had heard, rather than what theyd seen. The result is this film, exploring what sound can tell us about the world. So, four artists, but only one winner announced this evening. Rebecca jones, bbc news, margate. And rebecca spoke to the artist tracey emin earlier, and sent us this update from margate. As you say, four artists, shortlisted for the price and their work is currently on display here at the Turner Contemporary Art gallery and since the exhibition opened in september, nearly 100,000 people have been to see it. Im delighted to say that we are joined by the artist tracey emin who herself was shortlisted for the prize in 1999 but also grew up in margate. So, tracy, you are particularly well placed to give as a sense of what impact the prize has had on the town. You said yourself, 100,000 people coming here in the last six weeks or something. All those people come in, walking round the town, shopping, staying here, it has created a whole economy and i have always said this, wherever art goes, commerce follows and people have to take this very, very seriously now and the whole turner contemporary, the uplift it is given margate over the last ten years is really fantastic. The education grants, Little Cottage industries opening and the best thing is, a lot of young people, artists, are moving to the area. People who cant afford to live in london, or big cities, can find a studio and a studio space here and the council is being really friendly and accommodating to artists and thats why im moving back. I can see how passionate you are about it. Just give us a brief sense of what difference it makes to an artists career, been shortlisted for the turner prize. It is kind of not so good for me in some ways but that was 20 years ago because people get to see your work on a wide mass audience and if you are an artist that may be makes work that is very subtle and very discreet and then suddenly you win the turner prize you can have a really mass exposure. For some artists that is fantastic, for other artists it might be so good that all in all the turner prize, its not the market this just seems regional because its in margate but its not, is international. And that is the difference. We must leave it there, tracy thank you so much for talking to us. The announcement of the winner of the turner prize live in a special programme at 9 30pm from dreamland in margate on the bbc news channel sojoin us if you can. Now, its time for business, and today were going back to enniskillen where bbc Northern IrelandBusiness EditorJohn Campbell is waiting. We have heard a lot of how Northern Ireland is quite different to the uk make the rest of the uk with the border but a lot of issues are the same concerning areas such as retail. In terms of a small town like this, what are the issues you face in terms of trying to regenerate the town centre . face in terms of trying to regenerate the town centre . I think with any town centre, we have issues that the town centre is changing so much for up you have Online Shopping and reduction in footfall you are a lwa ys and reduction in footfall you are always fighting against that in footfall you are always fighting against that on 23rd people who come into town to support independent retailers and they can give you much more than online retailers. When we look at the big national parties, labour and the conservatives, what is it that town centres need to hear from those parties in terms of what they can do to push forward regeneration . I think at the moment infrastructure here, particularly in enniskillen, its really important. We need to get people here quickly and comfortably so our infrastructure in terms of roads is vitally important and we would see that in the business industry that that in the business industry that thatis that in the business industry that that is a frustration. Across town centres, rates are certainly an issue. With reducing footfall, it is becoming more of an issue that rates need to be re evaluated and looked at and need to be re evaluated and looked atand a need to be re evaluated and looked at and a new plan put in place and that allows businesses to look and see if they can plan into the future because at the moment with the overheads and rent and rates and decreasing footfall, it is very difficult to put a Long Term Plan in place. We worked it to a five year Business Plan and if you go and talk to the Business Community about a five year Business Plan they tell you we cant talk about that at the moment because we are working a month to month with our overheads and looking at what is happening in our businesses so it is a difficult conversation to have when you are asking them to plan, invest and look into the future. Both the main parties, labour and conservative are talking about big increases in infrastructure spending, money which was ultimately filtered down through stormont and hopefully into Northern Ireland. This must be something that the businesses will hold both of those parties to . Yes, but i think particularly in enniskillen have been waiting for that type of infrastructure for far too many yea rs infrastructure for far too many years and i think they feel that they have been asking that a long time andi they have been asking that a long time and i suppose it may be thinking, how much longer do we keep asking and really there is a certain element of losing faith in that. They are still asking, it is certainly needed and they will continue to ask but there may be a little bit of a loss of faith at the moment. Northern ireland certainly has some very different issues in terms of the border, identity, but when it comes to business, the issues are very much the same. Businesses here are crying out for more infrastructure spending, make it easierfor people more infrastructure spending, make it easier for people to get around and certainly that issue of Business Rates is absolutely key for retailers across the uk and Northern Ireland is no different. Then it will be here with the news at five but first for the weather was not milder conditions looks just around the corner but it will be turning wetter and windier. Today it isa turning wetter and windier. Today it is a fairly settled story. Most places remaining dry with spells of sunshine. The thickest of the cloud across northern and western parts of scotla nd across northern and western parts of scotland where it is a little breezy too. Those winds will strengthen further as we head into this evening. There may be clear skies for North Eastern parts of scotland and across large parts of england and across large parts of england and wales so a patchy frost expected here as those temperatures drop closer to freezing but quite a contrast to the temperatures further north and west you go. Through wednesday, our band of rain weakens. Fairly blustery over north and western parts of scotland some squally showers were followed behind. A quieter story of england and wales. This is where we dont keep the fog for most of the day which could suppress the temperatures and it will be another cool one for many areas. Today at 5pm President Trump is in london at the start of a three day visit to the uk for a gathering of nato leaders. Mr trump promises to stay out of the Election Campaign but also denies the nhs will be on the table in future trade talks. Absolutely. I dont even know where that rumour started, we have absolutely nothing to do with it and we wouldnt want to. If you handed it to us on a silver platter, we want nothing to do with it. The president will attend a reception hosted by the queen later at Buckingham Palace, where protests are expected tomorrow he joins World Leaders to celebrate 70 years of nato. Well be live at Buckingham Palace with the latest from there amid growing tensions among nato leaders. Mr trump today denounced remarks about the alliance from the french president
