to brussels and bring back that deal. how world leaders go down, down under, where xijinping is more trusted than donald trump. good morning. it is 8:00am in singapore, 1:00am in london, and 8:00pm in washington, where the top border official in the united states has resigned following an outcry over the treatment of detained migrant children. john sanders says he will step down next week, but didn't say why. he has recently blamed the crisis on a lack of money. lawyers who visited one of the detention centres reported squalid conditions, with children being held without access to showers or enough food. here is our north america editorjon sopel. it is a non—descript government building in clint, texas, but beyond the unwelcoming walls, migrant children who have been separated from their parents have been sleeping on the floor without enough food to eat, according to lawyers who visited the facility. around 300 of the children have been moved, though some have been returned. the case has caused indignation. this was the scene in court as an incredulous judge questioned a government lawyer. if you don't have a toothbrush, if you don't have soap, if you don't have a blanket, it's not safe and sanitary. wouldn't everybody agree with that? well, i think it's... i think those are — there's fair reason to find that those things may be part of safe and sanitary. not "may be" — are. chanting: let the children go now! when the child separation policy came to light a year ago, there was outrage. the first lady, melania trump, visited the border. the president was forced into a u—turn. but the recordkeeping was so abysmal by us officials that literally thousands of children remain separated from their parents. i'm very concerned, and they're much better than they were under president 0bama, by far, and we're trying to get the democrats to agree to really give us some humanitarian aid, humanitarian money. there is broad support over the need to do something about the surge of migrants trying to enter the country illegally. as well as reinforcing the border wall, the administration wants to send a deterrent message. but the world's richest country keeping children in squalor, with not enough to eat — well, it looks as though congress is going to do something about it. the speaker of the house is pushing for a vote today on an emergency aid package. when we go to the floor, you will see our bill. it's for the children, the children, the children. 0n the southern side of the border, mexico have deployed additional troops to slow the flow of migrants. but, whether fleeing the turmoil of venezuela or the drugs gangs of central america, there are plenty of people willing to try their luck, irrespective of what awaits them on the other side. 0ur correspondent peter bowes in los angeles told me more about what the lawyers reported. they've described conditions that were squalid, appalling conditions for very young children, some babies, to be held in, with little or no sanitation, reports of some of those toddlers being cared for by children just a few years older, sometimes in rooms with concrete floors, with just a toilet in the middle of the room. there was an outbreak of influenza. those children that needed them didn't have nappies, and really the list goes on ofjust terrible conditions that these children were being held in. we heard in the last 2a hours that some of those children had been moved out to other facilities. in fact, some have now been moved back, but clearly this desperate situation continues. it is absolutely unimaginable. where are the parents of these children at the moment? because, of course, these are the children that were separated from their parents. yes, exactly, and there are many, many of them, and it's difficult obviously to pinpoint the precise location and link them to children, because they have been held at different places. indeed, some of those parents may well have been sent back to their home countries, so it's very, very difficult to keep track. and in fact, john sanders, who is the — was the deputy commissioner of the agency, who we now know has just resigned, he is reportedly said to have been overwhelmed by the scale of the situation. also making news today: a un expert is warning of the dangers of a climate apartheid, where the rich pay to provide for themselves while the rest of the world suffers. in a damning report, philip alston, who is the un's special rapporteur on extreme poverty, claims that even if current global targets are met, climate change will have a devastating impact. hong kong's legislative council is due to debate and vote on a motion of no—confidence against the administration of its chief executive, carrie lam, but it is expected the motion will be vetoed by pro—beijing lawmakers who make up the majority of the council. meanwhile, protesters against the controversial extradition bill are planning another rally later. president trump's son—in—law jared kushner has set out what he calls an economic pathway towards peace in the middle east. speaking at the start of a conference in bahrain focusing on the long—awaited us peace plan, white house advisor kushner descibed the proposals as the opportunity of the century, but others have expressed scepticism. just two days before this painting was to be auctioned, it was snapped up by an unnamed buyer. it is believed to be a lost masterpiece by the late 16th and early 17th century italian painter caravaggio. it is rather grisly, depicting the biblical heroine judith beheading an assyrian general. it was valued at 100 million euros, but the auctioneer isn't divulging the buyer or the price. its authenticity had been questioned due to it being found in a french loft five years ago. i never find things like that. at the women's world cup, in france, disappointment for both japan and china. they have both lost their last—16 games, to the netherlands and italy respectively, the dutch winning with a last—minute penalty. it means seven of the eight quarter—finalists are from europe, with no asian countries reaching the last eight. more details in sport today later. in the latest tweet raising tentions, president trump has called iran ignorant and insulting. that was in response to iran's president rouhani saying new us sanctions against his country proved the white house was "mentally retarded". the us says there is no evidence that iran has given up its ambition to develop nuclear weapons. laura trevelyan reports. the people in iran are great people... just hours after president trump signed new sanctions against iran, including those which target the supreme leader personally, his hawkish national security adviser, john bolton, was in the middle east insisting the us was still prepared to talk to iran. the president has held the door open to real negotiations. all that iran needs to do is to walk through that open door. but iran declared the new sanctions would permanently close the path to diplomacy, while iran's president, hassan rouhani, mocked the us strategy. translation: at the same time you call for negotiations, you seek to sanction the foreign minister? it's obvious that you're lying. if you really wanted to negotiate, we would have negotiated. president trump lost no time in hitting back, warning in a tweet that if iran attacked anything american, it would be met with great and overwhelming force. in some areas, he threatened, "overwhelming" will mean obliteration. asked what message he was sending with his tweets, this was the president's reply. when they're ready, they'll let us know. very simple. ready to negotiate, you mean? ready to do whatever. doesn't make any difference. whatever they want to do, i'm ready. iran is lashing out at the president's foreign advisers. the foreign minister, javad zarif, lashing out at what he called the us b—team, which includes john bolton, plotting for war. meanwhile, democrats are questioning the administration's strategy. the administration has no strategic plan as to how to get around to the negotiating table, and what it's doing is building pressure. and when you have a pressure cooker that has no escape valve, all it does is explode. tensions are extremely high between tehran and washington, following iran's downing of a us drone last week. iran has warned it may violate limits on its enrichment of uranium laid out in the 2015 nuclear deal, which the us has withdrawn from. the us president pulled back from authorising a military strike last week. but if there is further provocation from iran, there is no telling what may happen. in the uk, the conservative leadership candidate jeremy hunt says tory party members should choose a candidate they can trust. in a bbc interview, the foreign secretary said without trust, there could be no negotiation, no deal, and possibly no brexit. his warning came as his rival, borisjohnson, continues to face questions about his private life. here is our political editor laura kuenssberg. jeremy hunt wants to persuade you he ought to be the next prime minister. he knows that means, first of all, untangling an enormous mess. what would you do on day one in number ten to get us out of the eu at the end of october? well, we have to approach this differently. it's the biggest constitutional crisis that i can remember. so what i'd do differently to what we've had before is i would have the dup in my negotiating team, i'd have the erg, who are the brexit purists, i'd have scottish and welsh conservatives, because fundamentally i believe there is a deal to be done. what would be different about the deal you hope to achieve? well, it would be changing the backstop, but with some guarantees that we're not going to have a hard border on the island of ireland, for completely obvious reasons. that approach is not too different to what boris wants. i think it'll be a technology—led solution. listening to you talking about your brexit plans is actually very similar to talking to borisjohnson about his brexit plans — high on ambition, low on concrete detail. well, no, i've been very clear about the concrete detail. we've just been talking about the fa ct we've just been talking about the fact that it wouldn't include... you are fact that it wouldn't include... you a re clear fact that it wouldn't include... you are clear about what you would like to do, but it is a wish. that is the starting point for any deal. you have to be clear about what you want and it is different to what theresa may was negotiating. but the answer to your question is both boris johnson and i want to change that deal. and thejudgement is who is the person we trust as prime minister to go to brussels and bring back that deal. it's about the personality of our prime minister. if you choose someone where there's no trust, there's going to be no negotiation, no deal. you don't trust boris johnson? you don't think he would be trustworthy as prime minister? i would never make those comments about a fellow cabinet member. i would serve borisjohnson. well, hang on. no, no, let me finish. i would serve borisjohnson to the very best of my ability. foreign secretary, you have just sat there in a race of two and said this is about who we can trust, someone we can trust, like me, or someone we can't trust. you are clearly talking about your opponent in this race. no, i'm saying i am trustworthy. do you worry in this contest that you might be somehow unfairly squeezed out by someone with a bigger personality than you? laura, i have been waiting for this moment for 30 years of my life. i have been sitting around that cabinet table thinking how i want to transform our country. so you wanted to be a prime ministerfor 30 years? when did you know? i won't say that. i think, if i say that, that's really going to put people off. oh, you must tell us now! but, i mean, 30 years is a very, very long time, and this is britain. but i would love to do this job. i think i can make a difference. three decades is already a long time to wait. will tory members keep him hanging on? you are watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme: tasty talk, as award—winning chef heston blumenthal tells me about the world's best restaurant. also on the programme: how world leaders go down, down under, where xijinping is more trusted than donald trump. members of the neo—nazi resistance movement stormed the world trade center armed with pistols and shotguns. we believe that, according to international law, that we have a rightful claim in certain parts of this country as ourland. i take pride in the words "ich bin ein berliner." chapman, prison—pale and slightly chubby, said not a single word in open court. it was left to his lawyer to explain his decision to plead guilty to murdering john lennon. he believes that onjune eight, god told him to plead guilty and that was the end of it. the medical research council have now advised the government that the great increase in lung cancer is due mainly to smoking tobacco. it was closing time for checkpoint charlie, which, for 29 years, has stood on the border as a mark of allied determination to defend the city. this is newsday on the bbc. i'm rico hizon in singapore. i'm kasia madera in london. our top stories: growing outrage over appalling conditions for migrant children in us detention centres has forced out the acting head of border protection. reports sayjohn sanders was overwhelmed by the enormity of the crisis. and the insults fly between iran and the us. president trump warns any attack will be met with overwhelming force — iran blames america. let's take a look at some front pages from around the world. like us, hong kong's south china morning post is looking at the extradition bill. as we mentioned, it's been officially suspended. but according to sources cited here, chief executive carrie lam is refusing to completely withdraw the legislation, despite new protests planned. let's shift our attention to the new york times. they report on the increased security along migration routes from mexico to the us. they're talking to mexican families who have had their plans to migrate impacted by the government crackdown. and finally, the front page of singapore's straits times, issued here. it has a picture of people cooling off in the iconic trocadero fountains across from the eiffel tower in paris, as temperatures soar in europe. kasia, what stories are sparking discussions online? we are expecting a heatwave here as well this weekend. the grammy award—winning rapper cardi b has pleaded not guilty to felony assault charges relating to an alleged fight with two female bartenders at a new york city strip club last year. you can see her right there. known for her chart—topping hits ‘bodak yellow‘ and ‘i like it‘ — the 26—year—old star faces up to four years in prison if convicted. so that is doing really well online. now, have you ask yourself who australians trust in the world? well, it turns out not many world leaders, according to a new survey of public opinion. research by the think—tank, the lowy institute found that australians' confidence in donald trump dived 30% over the past year to 25%, putting him just above vladimir putin and kim jong—un. even the chinese leader, xijinping is more popular in australia on 30%. however, when it comes to the actual countries themselves, trust in the united states is far higher than in china. just over half of australians trust the united states ‘a great deal‘ or ‘somewhat‘ to act responsibly in the world, whereas that number is just a third for china, down 20 points over the past year. natasha kassem put together the survey‘s findings for the lowy institute. i suggested that the negative attitudes towards china might be surprising given the closeness of the two countries' economies. you are absolutely right. it is surprising and i do think in the past perhaps australians have mainly been focused on the economic relationship with china and the many benefits that has brought to australians. but in the last year we've seen more debate about foreign interference, military activities in our region, social credit systems and human rights, and i think this could be impacting on the way australia sees china. what about things like chinese investment in hubs like sydney and melbourne? buying up lots of property and increasing those prices? i think that is also a factor, we've seen higher levels of australians, this year, 68%, saying foreign investment from china is too high in australia. having said that, property prices are not what they used to be in these cities and australians in the past have said they were more concerned about chinese investment or foreign investment more broadly in critical infrastructure like our national broadband network or airports and ports. how does it work that the leader of the united states, donald trump, is, well he's not doing very well in the eyes of australians, yet when it comes to the country itself, the united states, they have more confidence, much, much more confidence in the nation itself. how does that work? i think this is the difference between australians' views towards the country and the alliance with the united states and the consistently expressed concerns about donald trump. the alliance has consistently had high levels of support, 72% say it is very important. yet two—thirds say donald trump has weakened the alliance and that is where you can be where trust levels have weekend. this year's best restarurant in the world has been revealed and the winner is... mirazur in france, the first time argentine chef mauro colagreco and his provencal style cuisine has clinched the top spot at the worlds 50 best restaurants list. the list is voted on by more than 1,000 international chefs, food writers and travelling gourmants. internationally acclaimed british chef heston blumenthal, who's restaurant was a previous winner, was at this year's award ceremony. he spoke to me earlier. one of the great things about this format — this ranking system, it's opened up to the general public. 0pened upjust the incredible explosion of gastronomy around the world. countries — they used to be — it used to be confined mainly to europe, britain, france, italy and spain. now, if you see what's happening in singapore and asia, there's been restaurant explosion. so this system is fantastic for showcasing that. and when it started 20 odd years ago, i remember, it was such a small thing. it's grown enormously. and there must‘ve been over a thousand people there. it's really grown, but if you take a look at the top ten, heston, there's only one asian restaurant, and in the top 20, only three. and this is the first time the awards are being held here in asia, why do you think asians aren't doing so well? well they are. 0nly only one in the top ten. how many countries are there in the world? they've got double the amount the uk has got in the top 50. the important thing for me — the important point to make is you cannot have a ‘best restaurant‘ because it‘s like saying name your 50 best artists. one of the beautiful things about food is that it is subjective because food can trigger memory and emotion, it can connect you with your friends and loved ones even a time or place. so when you have something emotional, you can‘t really put a measurement to it. so i‘d say you can‘t really have a best pizza, because sometimes you might want an authentic pizza from naples, sometimes you want a thin and crispy one from rome, sometimes you want one out of a cardboard box in front of the tv. because it‘s preferences and taste. it‘s emotion, it‘s passion, that‘s what food does. but it does this. i think any restaurant that has gotten into the top 50 or top 100, they then it, just bathe in it. bathe in it. bathe in it and think yes! but know that in the chances for the following year, if you drop down by one or ten, don‘t be upset. just bathe in the feeling. all right. for the uninitiated, heston, you are a pioneer of molecular gastronomy. in about one or two sentences, what is it all about? well, it‘s been misinterpreted. molecular gastronomy is the science of cooking as opposed to food science. food science, university, do a degree, lots of chemicalformulae. but the science of cooking is why do egg yolks or egg whites make souffles rise? what happens when you toast a piece of bread? why, if you cook custard too high, it goes grainy? it‘s about understanding physics. if you chop something, that‘s physics, if you heat it, it‘s physics. we get new textures, molecules and flavours. all of the sciences put together. if you were to create a molecular gastronomy recipe involving asian recipes like chilli crab or chicken rice, can it be done? i'll i‘ll give you two answers. just make sure you cook the crab, the chilli crab, in a particular way so it‘s beautiful. that‘s the essence of molecular gastronomy. now, if you‘re asking me what would i do with my imagination, imagine this now. right now there‘s a candy floss cloud floating towards this building with a crab that‘s been cooked, attached with a licorice string just blowing in the wind. you can imagine it. that‘s the beauty of human beings, we can imagine things that don‘t exist. we only have 30 seconds. 0h, 0k. this is only your second time in singapore. yes. tell us, fat duck is so famous in europe in the uk, are you ready to go international? we‘re coming back in september to do a special restaurant for the grand prix. we‘re going to tie historical british with the formula 1. so this could be my testing ground, but if all goes well then we could be here. i don‘t even think i can avoid his dishes. they are too expensive for me. you are absolutely right but i really, really want a pizza now. thank you for watching newsday. hello, that‘s the stormy weather over with for now. and for the rest of the week it is turning warmer and sunnier though the flow of air around this area of high—pressure coming in towards north sea coastal counties will keep it relatively cool here compared with elsewhere. rather misty and murky at times. some cloud around to start wednesday across much of england and parts of wales, muggy in the southern areas, single figures for some in scotland. and for wednesday it‘s scotland and northern ireland that will see the lion‘s share of the sunshine. north—west england, southern england brightening up, the odd shower in the far south—west. the midlands and east wales rather cloudy, misty, a bit drizzly in some spots. this flow of air from the north is turning things fresher. quite windy through the english channel coast and the flow is coming into the north sea coast, that‘s why temperatures here are towards their midteens in some spots. but from western scotland, northern ireland and west wales, southern england, the warm spots here will be into the low 20s. and becoming warmer and sunnier to come as we go through the rest of the week. 0vernight into thursday, some cloud dipping into england and wales, rather misty and rather drizzly in some spots. warm and muggy it is going to be fresher as it is going to thursday morning. the air coming towards north sea coast, western scotland and northern ireland and southern england are warming up into the low 20s in some places and it gets warmer still for the rest of the week. 0vernight and into thursday areas of low cloud, parts of england and wales having drizzle in some spots, it will be a colder night across southern parts and it will feel pressure out and about on thursday morning. getting warmer in the west on thursday, there will be some spots creeping into the upper 20s, high pressure moving out towards the north sea on friday so we will tap into some even warmer air across western parts of the uk in particular. a lot of sunshine around, here is going to be a little warmer on friday. it is going to be the warmest day in the west where some here in north—west scotland, for example, could be near 30 degrees celsius. now western areas will turn cooler over the weekend. the weekend starts with something hotter to the east and particularly in south—east england with temperatures peaking into the low 30s on saturday, but if you don‘t like the sound of that, thank goodness you‘re not elsewhere in europe with these temperatures on the cards this week as the european heatwave hits hard. this is bbc news. our top story: the top border official in the us is stepping down as anger grows over the treatment of migrant children detained in shelters, without access to showers or adequate food. reports sayjohn sanders and his colleagues have been overwhelmed by the enormity of the crisis. lawyers who visited one of the detention centres had reported squalid conditions. president trump has again warned that any iranian attack on us targets will get what he described as an overwhelming response. tehran called the latest us sanctions insane and said the white house was mentally incapable. and this video is trending on bbc.com. breakdancing is going to be an olympic sport. the international olympic committee voted unanimously to include it at the 2024 paris games. they hope breakdancing will make the games more appealing to a younger audience. that‘s all, stay with bbc world news. and the top story in the uk:
