Were on these two men and what they might give away about the ties between them. For his entire time in office, Donald Trumps been plagued with questions he just doesnt want to hear over what Vladimir Putin might have done to get him elected. They met only briefly here but President Trump said he did raise the issue of russian interference in the us elections. He said he didnt meddle, said mr trump. I asked again, you can only ask so many times. Every time he sees me, trump said of putin, he says i didnt do that. And i really believe that when he tells me that, he means it. I think hes very insulted by it. But those words have led to an angry reaction from some back in the states, where the Intelligence Community has determined that russia did meddle in the election. Donald trump believes an ex kgb agent over 17 Us Intelligence agencies thats outrageous, tweeted Senate Democrat ben carden. The president s denial of facts is troubling. But that type of denial is nothing new. For months, at rallies, hes been saying it to his supporters. The russia story is a totalfabrication. Its just an excuse for the greatest loss in the history of american politics. Thats all it is. President putin says it is all made up by Donald Trumps opponents too. But if either of them think that will lay to rest the matter, they are, of course, mistaken. The Usjustice Department is investigating the extent to which russia did interfere and Donald Trumps former campaign manager, paul manafort, is currently under house arrest because of information discovered during the investigation. Well, donald trump now says all this focus on russian interference in the us election is costing lives in conflicts like the one in syria because it is getting in the way of his relationship with Vladimir Putin and so his ability to resolve such issues. But that is not going to stop investigators back in the states determining exactly what did happen with moscow, the Trump Campaign and the election of 2016. Aleem maqbool, bbc news, in vietnam. The husband of a british woman jailed in iran has told the bbc he will speak to the uk foreign secretary on sunday. Nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe is accused of spying. Her family fears her sentence could be extended after comments from borisjohnson gave the false impression that shed been teaching journalism in iran. Eleanor garnier reports. In jail in iran separated from her daughter and husband. Nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe is british and iranian and facing a five year sentence for allegedly plotting to topple the government in tehran. Its now understood the foreign secretary borisjohnson has agreed to meet her husband. I think its important now that he tries to meet with us as soon as possible, next week, so that its clear from a political point of view that the uk government is standing alongside nazanin and her family. This week, the foreign secretary had to apologise after he mistakenly told mps he thought mrs Zaghari Ratcliffe had been in iran teaching journalists. Mrjohnson later said his comments could have been clearer and the uk government has no doubt she was on holiday in iran, as her family have always insisted. But this week, irans state tv broadcast a report claiming the foreign secretarys comments about mrs Zaghari Ratcliffe amounted to an unintended admission of her guilt.

Earlier, hundreds of thousands catalans rallied in barcelona, calling for the release of Pro Independence leaders. James reynolds reports.

There will be elections here in december and these protesters want to win a majority for the Pro Independence movement, that will give them the chance to try and break away from spain again.

A british woman accused of drug smuggling in egypt has been referred to a criminal court for trial. Laura plummer, whos 33 and from hull, took prescription painkillers into the country for her boyfriends bad back, without realising they were illegal in egypt. 0ur correspondent, 0rla guerin, is in hurghada. She explained more about lauras arrest. She was detained on arrival at the airport, here, last month, on the 9th of october. Laura plummers family say she leaves for holidays in the sun. Laura plummers family say she lives for holidays in the sun. She has been coming to egypt since 2014, she comes about three times a year and she has a boyfriend here in egypt. And they say this was supposed to be a holiday, a relaxing time on the sun, like any of the other trips she made. Instead, when she arrived at the airport, she was stopped by police. They found that she was carrying about 300 tablets of this banned drug, tramadol. It is a painkiller legal which in the uk is perfectly legal, but it is banned here, in egypt. Its widely abused here, its treated as heroin substitute its widely abused here, its treated as a heroin substitute and, in fact, it is the drug of choice for most addicts in egypt. Police investigating the case here have been emphasising to us that the large quantity that Laura Plummer was carrying is the problem. That she says had so much of this drug. Now, she has said, for her part, the, first of all, she did not know it was banned here, that she was carrying it perfectly clearly in her luggage, there was no attempt to disguise it. She told us by phone this week, when we managed to speak to her, that she had in fact been given it by a colleague in the uk, who said, oh, take this, it was good for my back and may itll help her boyfriend. Itll help your boyfriend. So she says she did not know it was banned and that she was bringing it for her boyfriend because he has back problems. Police here are saying ignorance of the law is not a defence. Earlier we heard from Laura Plummers mp, labours karl turner. Were hopeful now that new information has come to light, 0mar, her partner, has admitted hes got these problems with his back, hes come up with medical evidence to confirm that and i think that will go some way to show that lauras version of events are absolutely right. This is a woman of 33 years of age, shes a shop worker in the princes quay in hull, she goes to work in the morning, finishes in the evening, sits on the sofa and watches her favourite tv soaps. Shes a woman of good character, no previous convictions from a decent, hard working family and theyre completely shocked and terrified by what is unfolding in front of them. Shes done something very silly, shes taken drugs to agarda, clearly shes doing someone a favour to try and relieve the back pain of her partner. It is a criminal offence, the drug, tramadol, is banned in egypt, its a class c drug in this country, which means it has to be prescribed by a gp and dispensed by a pharmacist so the egyptian authorities take this very seriously indeed and we have to be respectful to their laws and customs, but we hope the court listened really carefully to the version of events which laura said from the outset was innocent in that she was just trying to help somebody. Thats now been confirmed, im happy to say, by 0mar, who says hes got a back problem and he can prove that. Millions of people have observed two minutes silence for Armistice Day marking the moment in 1918 when the fighting came to an end in the first world war. Ceremonies have taken place across the uk, including at the National Memorial arboretum in staffordshire, and at the cenotaph on whitehall in london. From there, our correspondent Adina Campbell reports. Preparing for remembrance. To the sounds of pipes, veterans from the Second World War and those from later wars on parade in whitehall. In the drizzle, before them, the cenotaph. Britains stark memorial to its war dead. Keeping faith with countless lives lost in conflict. At 11 00, big ben, silent for three months because of repair work, marked the hour. Big ben chimes. Last post plays. Shortly after the two minute silence, thousands of people watched on as pipes and drums from the london scottish regiment marched through whitehall in a captivating display. I thought it was really emotional, because, like, so many people died, so i think its a really good way to pay respect. I think it makes your memories more real. Theres the opportunity to really reflect on what was given during those times. And this afternoon, at the residence of the french ambassador in london, british veterans who took part in the d day landings were presented with the legion dhonneur. Victor ernest stirling, who is now 91, was in the Royal Army Service corps when he landed on the beaches of normandy. His job was to bring vehicles, ammunition and petrol to support the advancing army. As they say, it was all a bit of adventure, i suppose. But im very proud that they have recognised it, and it is a great honour. Todays services have been a chance for many people to remember those who fought and what they fought for.

How do you think President Trump has performed on this big to . I think the expectations were pretty logo into the visit. It has been a mixed bag. We have seen a lot of the same kind of rhetoric he has given about trade deals with the us and japan and korea and china. 0n the other hand, i think people were extremely worried he would be belligerent on north korea and he has been strong on that, but he has not gone to the same length that he has in the past. I think people have been relieved his visits have gone quite well with the leaders. Some would even say that his visit with xijinping went to would even say that his visit with xi jinping went to well and was too deferential. 0n xi jinping went to well and was too deferential. On a lot of counts we have gotte n deferential. On a lot of counts we have gotten what we pretty much expected. On that point about his enthusiasm for president xi jinping, how do you think other countries in the region will feel about this very enthusiastic relationship, given that they have difficult relations with their neighbour was yellow i think that many countries have a sort of reserve reaction to anything President Trump. He is capable of saying things that have one tone and his administration does not follow through on it. Many will be relieved that it went well. 0thers through on it. Many will be relieved that it went well. Others would wish that it went well. Others would wish that he had brought up some of the controversial issues that are going on in the South China Sea or on trade. It may make him appear rather wea k trade. It may make him appear rather weak in the eyes of some. That is not necessarily a good position. Picking you up on trade, we now know that a number of countries are moving forward with this trade deal. How big a motivation is china for them when they come together . How big a motivation is china for them when they come together7m how big a motivation is china for them when they come together . It is a tremendous motivation. As you mentioned, the 11 countries remaining in the Trans Pacific partnership have agreed to go forward. That deal was always motivated by economic and security concerns. 0n economic front they wa nt to concerns. 0n economic front they want to maintain high standards, make sure china does not get to write the rules of free trade. 0n the security front, is essential it remains in this sort of engagement that the us used to lead and hopefully will return to. It is a pretty big deal. What about if we look at it from the other perspective, how is china left now it is not part of the club . China has another agreement in asia. The regional brands of Economic Partnership will continue to promote. It will probably see the ongoing negotiations moving forward with the cpp. While the us commitment is uncertain, it will continue to watch and wait and see what happens. Thank you very much for joining what happens. Thank you very much forjoining us on bbc news. Kristi govella there from harvard university. Lets get more now on the british woman, nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe, whos in prison in iran accused of spying. Her husband, richard ratcliffe, says he is due to speak to the foreign secretary, boris johnson, later on sunday. Meanwhile, in the observer newspaper the labour Leaderjeremy Corbyn is calling on the Prime Minister to sack mrjohnson over his comments about mrs Zaghari Ratcliffe. He said the foreign secretary had been undermining the country and putting citizens at risk. Well, earlier my colleague alpa patel spoke to dr homa hoodfar, who was inside the same prison as nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe. The night we spent together in the same cell she was talking about her plan to come out and be with her child. She was very worried and upset and was crying as she was talking about her daughters. It had been a couple of weeks then. She told us, me and two other women who we re told us, me and two other women who were there, that the interrogator encouraged her to sign let us so they can precede her case quickly and free her to be with herfamily. I guess because of that she had signed documents that maybe later was used against her. What do you make of the foreign secretary, boris johnson, comments, he has corrected those, what impact do you think it could have on her case . those, what impact do you think it could have on her case . I cannot believe that such a huge mistake has taken place. It plays right into the hands of the very conservative revolutionary guards who have arrested her. There are political factions. 0ften arrested her. There are political factions. Often these factions are fighting each other. Unfortunately, people like nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe or me many others in jail Zaghari Ratcliffe or me many others injailare caught in Zaghari Ratcliffe or me many others injail are caught in between the conservative and the revolutionary guards trying to embarrass the reformist government by showing they have no power within the system. Even though he may apologise for the mistake he has made, in a way that is enough for the revolution regard to say, ok, this is the case, for sure she is a spy. So they attempt to increase her sentence, or at least makes it much harderfor to increase her sentence, or at least makes it much harder for her to convince others to be free.
