Female sports fan in iran whos died after setting herself alight, in protest over a ban on women attending football games. Donald trump has sacked one of his most senior figures, the National Security adviser, john bolton. And as usual he, told us about via twitter. This is all after peace talks with the taliban in afghanistan collapsed. And while thats the focus we know there were disagreements over iran, venezuela, and north korea. For his part ambassador bolton has said. And they did. Heres secretary of state mike pompeo on the sacking. So last night, the president asked for ambassador boltons resignation. Asi for ambassador boltons resignation. As i understand it, it was received this morning. Was a because of this disagreement . I will leave it to the president to talk about that the reasons he made his decision. Of the president is entitled to the staff he wants. At any moment, if a staff member that works directly for the president he should have people you trust and values, and whose effo rts you trust and values, and whose efforts and judgements benefit him. Lets bring in our washington correspondent, gary odonoghue, on whats caused this sudden sacking. Well, a blazing row, apparently, between these two men at some point yesterday, a sort of culmination of disagreements wherejohn bolton was increasingly frozen out by trump and the secretary of state not just in afghanistan, but from things like iran. He was in favour of those air strikes, if you remember, that trump cancelled at the last minute. He was against the idea of an unconditional offer to meet president rouhani, and he was much, much more critical of the North Koreans in terms of their Ballistic Missile tests than trump had been. Very public disagreements because one man would say one thing in one place, and then trump would contradict him in another. So it has been building in some ways, but still a shock and a major change at the top of the administration. Well go back to gary in a minute. Now, john boltonjoins a long list of those who have been fired, or resigned from Donald Trumps white house. Just in the National Security adviser role, his first adviser, michael flynn, resigned afterjust21i days in office after lying to Vice President mike pence about his relationship with russias ambassador to the United States. Herbert Raymond Mcmaster was next, he found himself at odds with trump on afghanistan and the russian meddling in the 2016 election and was also given the boot. Trump then brought injohn bolton. Lets bring back gary on what this means for the Trump Administration and its foreign policy. Well, the National Security council, which the nsa heads up, is an incredibly important part of the white house. And one of the reasons thats given by sources that are talking to the us media, is thatjohn bolton was trying to run his own show. He wasnt working to trumps priorities. And as we know, donald trump likes strong, charismatic hawkish people likejohn bolton thats why he got him in in the first place. On the face of it, their policies were the same, a really tough line on iran. But of course, trump believes that he is the x factor, he is the different character that can go into these international relationships, these intractable international relationships, and be the difference, whereasjohn bolton believed in that hard line in the same way that trump did, but there was a sort of traditional use of american muscle that was the way to win out diplomatically. And mr bolton knows his own mind before he took this gig, he was a regular in the us tv media, particularly fox news. You imagine he will have a thing or two to say at some point . Yes, in fact hes already told a journalist that he will have his say in his good time. He was texting apparently some of the anchors on fox news just after the news broke, making it very clear that in his view, he resigned and wasnt fired. So i suspect hes pretty crossed about this, i suspect hes the kind of man that will not keep his mouth shut for long. On this issue, wevejust on this issue, weve just heard from the White House Deputy press secretary. The acting adviser is charlie kaufman. The fact is the president of the United States asked john bolton for his resignation last night. It was delivered today. John boltons priorities and policies just dont line up with the president s. In any sitting president has the right to put someone president has the right to put someone in that can carry out his agenda. That no longer became tenable, so the president made a change. Thanks. There is no one issue there is no one issue here. You guys understand, and we have now said that theyjust didnt align on many issues. That is why we are where we are. We are moving forward, charlie government is in that position, but we will hear more issues from the Briefing Room in a moment. The uk is in the midst of its greatest crisis since the second world war. And the house of commons is empty, after being suspended by Prime Minister borisjohnson. It will remain that way for five weeks. Proroguing parliament does happen for short periods of time every year, but the timing of this is highly unusual and highly controversial. It restricts the time that mps can discuss and work on brexit and so, in their short term, reduces their influence. And the moment late last night that parliament was officially suspended it restricts the time that mps can discuss bristled with political tension. Shouting. Chanting shame on you, shame on you booing. Pushing, booing. Those shouts of shame on you were directed at borisjohnson and his supporters. For his part, mrjohnson seems intent on showing he is working on a new policy agenda. James forsyth, Political Editor of the spectator magazine said. Heres borisjohnson on that. So we are going to get on. More free schools, more police, more hospitals, better hospitals, upgrading our hospitals, and coming out on 31 october. That sounds like a Prime Minister who knows an election is coming. It wont be in mid october because mps rejected his suggestion last night for a second time. Opposition parties argue they wont sanction an election until either there is a brexit deal, or the brexit deadline is extended. But they all know there has to be an election sooner rather than later. Heres labour leaderJeremy Corbyn. I can tell you this we are ready for that election. We are ready to unleash the biggest People Powered campaign weve ever seen in this country and in this movement. Applause also, Jeremy Corbyn has cleared up one part of labours brexit policy what will happen, if labour gets it way and holds a second referendum. And in that election, we will commit to a public vote with a credible option to leave, and the option to remain. So labour is offering a new referendum. The liberal democrats have gone further. We read this during yesterdays show. Liberal democrats will make this brexit mess stop. Immediately. We will revoke article 50 and keep the uk in the eu. There is also a group called mps for a deal which draws from across parliament. Heres one of them. I think that what weve got to do is really Start Talking about it honestly, what we are prepared to accept, and what will get this across the line. Because at the moment, the country is in a state of flux. There is so much heat around this debate, and parliament looks like its failing time after time. As for the government, borisjohnson told cabinet his brexit policy remains unchanged. He says brexit is happening on 31 october, come what may. Remember, thats despite a new law that demands he ask for an extension on 19 october if there isnt an agreement. Its not clear what hell do if we get to that point. Chris mason is in millbank. Live from westminster. He seems to be pushing that one down the track, not telling us what he might do . Its a useful primary we just heard from you there about where the various british Political Parties are. It gives you an insight into the degree with which the political classes and society at large are bogged down in this brexit process. There isnt an obvious solution for the country to leave it behind. As you say, as far as the Prime Minister, borisjohnson, you say, as far as the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, is concerned, he will not get his election when he wants. He sounded far keener on the idea of a deal with the eu then he had in brea to recent weeks. But just tonight hes been meeting with the dup, the party propping up his conservatives for the last couple of years. Their reason for existing is to ensure that Northern Ireland remains part of the uk, separate from the republic of ireland which will remaina part republic of ireland which will remain a part of the eu regardless of what happens. The dup have said tonight that there is no way that they would live with one potential solution to this impasse which has been floated in the last few days, which is that Northern Ireland maintainsafora which is that Northern Ireland maintains a for a closer relationship than the rest of the eu after brexit, the england, scotland and wales do, which is called the Northern Ireland only backstop, as opposed to the one indicating the whole uk, which ensures that there is not a border because of the history between the two countries. The dup make it very clear they dont like the idea of Northern Ireland being part and parcel separately, and borisjohnson says neither does he. A strange situation because we dont have an election but all Party Leaders are acting like there is one . Thats because what is coming, and it is coming soon, just not as soon as Boris Johnson was hoping. So it wont happen next month, at which looked very likely until the middle of last week. But such is the bubbling sense here that it is going to come soon. I dont think that collectively this postcode will be able to keep the cork in the election bottle for much longer beyond the end of next month. So the two scenarios at the end of next month are this the uk leaves the eu with or without a deal, or there is another delay to brexit and there is another delay to brexit and the other delay is looking more likely now than it was because of an act of parliament that says it should happen. Once you get into november, it becomes very difficult for these Political Parties that have been willing to press the pause button. Itll be very difficult for them at that point and notjust button. Itll be very difficult for them at that point and not just say lets bring this on, particularly if they feel theyve managed to humiliate the Prime Minister in the process. I hear brexit cast is coming to the uk, will you still talk to us . Of course ill talk to you but that is coming this week, which is frightening honestly because turning a podcast into television, there is an endless list of things i can go wrong. Thank you very much, chris. Brexit cast, the tv version is available to you whether you watch in the uk or elsewhere around the world. If you dont subscribe to the podcast, you can get it now through bbc sounds, it is brilliant. Stay with us on outside source still to come. Apple has been unveiling various plans for the iphone and for its watch, as well. We will talk about that in a moment. Japan says it may have to release more than a Million Tonnes of contaminated water from the Fukushima Nuclear power plant into the pacific ocean. The countrys environment minister says its because Storage Space is running out. Heres Rupert Wingfield hayes. Every day, they pump out around 200 tonnes of contaminated water from the reactor buildings at the damaged nuclear plant. They put that through a complex filtration process that takes most of the radioactive isotopes out. But one isotope is left apparently the technology does not exist to remove it, and that is tritium. One of the things theyve done for the last eight years or so is storing this water. In three years, at the end of 2022, they will actually run out of space at the plant to build more tanks. And so, the suggestion has been made that it should be released into the pacific ocean. And in fact today, weve heard the environment minister saying he now supports that plan. But it is hugely controversial. This is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. Our lead story. Donald trump has fired his National Security adviser, john bolton, after a string of disagreements. Trump revealed the news in a customary tweet. Here are some of the main stories from bbc world service. The israeli Prime Minister has promised that if hes re elected next week, hell apply israeli sovereignty over the jordan valley. Benjamin netanyahus announcement amounts to a pledge to effectively annex a key part of the occupied west bank. An american adventurer has become the first person to reach the deepest places in all five of ea rths oceans. In his final dive, victor vescovo, used a submersible to travel five and a half kilometres down, to the bottom of the arctic oceans molloy trench. Hed already reached the floor of the pacific, indian, southern and atlantic oceans. Which means he will need a new goal. Lets talk about Climate Change and more specifically, adaptation. In the context of Climate Change, this means the way we adapt the way we live to deal with higher temperatures, rising seas, and fiercer storms. This is new report from the Global Commission on adaptation. You can find the whole thing online if you want to read it. It says that wealthy countries need to invest a 1. 8 trillion in the next decade on safeguarding food and water in poorer countries. They argue that will create 7. 1 trillion in the Global Economy. The group behind the report contains 3a leaders from politics, business, and science. And its lead by mircosoft founder bill gates and former un secretary general, ban ki moon. Here he is at the reports launch. Adaptation can save lives. Protect our homes and communities, and safeguard and build a Better Future for us all. We have a phrase at the Global Commission on adaptation. Delay and pay, or plan and prosper. The report sets out five key areas that require urgent investment. Victoria gill can take us through them. Number one warning systems. For vulnerable island and coastal communities, early warnings about storms and very high tides can save lives. Technology is like this simple Smartphone App for fishermen in the cook islands mean they can plan according to increasingly changing sea conditions. Number two infrastructure. Constructing better roads, buildings, and bridges to suit our changing climate. 10 million square feet of rooftops in new york have already been painted white. The reflective coating keeps the building cooler and can even bring down the temperature of the neighbourhood. Number three agriculture. More than 800 Million People already dont have enough to to eat, according to the un. This programme in england helps the poorest farmers grow more diverse and less water dependent crops will subprojects like this could help avoid mass hunger. This programme in india. Number four restoring and protecting mangroves. Underwater mangrove forests protect about 18 Million People from coastal flooding, but they are being wiped out. Building simple bamboo and rope structures like these in indonesia traps sediment that mangroves need to build, so they can reestablish. Five water. Protecting Water Supplies and making sure that water is not being wasted will be vital. So while this report looks to better prepare for the consequences of a changing climate in the future, many poorer countries are already dealing with the effects heres the bbc World Services environment correspondent, navin singh khadka. Thats the reason why they are talking about things like early warning. One figure for instance where they have said this is if you invested 800 million, then you will be able to avoid losses between 3 billion and 16 billion annually. So most of them are definitely the poor countries, low island countries. These countries often figure in this annual report which are most vulnerable. So obviously the situation for them is quite urgent. Theres a lot of big figures going around, promises that the Global Economy will benefit by trillions of dollars if the right things are done. Help me understand how they come up with those numbers, how do they calculate all these benefits for the local economy dashed Global Economy if they are spending all this money on adaptation . The thing is theyve identified areas, these five areas. And it is basically the way they have calculated our economies, for instance. But the key is theyve identified sectors and areas where we need them. So on that basis, the key question here is to get those 7 trillion benefit, you need to invest 2 trillion now. The question is where will you get that money from . Lets imagine the money appears. I want to understand how the money is delivered to these countries, presumabl
