and the la palma volcano covers the airport in ash, closing it off to all planes. hello and welcome. we begin with events in china and canada where what appears to be a exchange of detainees has taken place. the flights involve meng wanzhou and two canadian nationals. meng was fighting and extradition order from canada that could see her stand trial on financial charges. the two michaels were held in china on spying charges. they were detained in canada. but all three are now in their home countries. after more than a thousand days away from home, meng wanzhou arrived back. a crowd of well—wishers were there to greet her. translation: the long wait abroad was full - of struggles and sufferings. but when i went down the staircase and landed on the ground, i was thrilled by the warmness from the hometown. the motherland, i'm back. meng wanzhou was the worlds the us alleges she poured banks diaz alleges that not breaching american�*s sanctions. the case is complicated, but the fact that she is the daughter of the founder hauwei. after he is a brain thinking she secured a deal by admitting to misleading a bank. else recommend two canadians also arrive tom. former diplomat and businessman michael stable had been under arrest for the same amount of time as him. china says this was not related to her case but they released the men almost instantly after she was free. critics have called it hostage diplomacy. these two men have gone through an unbelievably difficult ordeal. for the past thousand days, they have shown strength, perseverance, resilience and grace and we are all inspired by that. both men maintained their innocence throughout. i find myself at a loss - for words because the moment is so incredible. it's finally here. a diplomatic crisis has been averted for now. but huawei remains on a trade blacklist here and still faces charges of corporate espionage. allegations china denies. a short time ago i spoke to david loughman, but previously, the us department ofjustice, where he oversaw enforcing us sanction lies, including parts of the investigation into hauwei. he told me about his involvement into the case. well, as chief of the control section which is to oversee the justice department enforcement of controlling sanctions laws, as you and your viewers may understand, the case against huawei has a lot to do with the violation of us sanctions laws against iran as was the case against her although she was charged with defrauding the bank rather than carrying out a violation of section laws. — sanction lies. — sanction laws. this is really a disagreement between the us and china, but central to all of this was canada. took us through the deal that brought about the freedom of meng wanzhou. i don't have any nonpublic visibility into what happened, but, it appears that on the face of it, there was a multilateral sensitive agreement reached between the united states government, the canadian government and the chinese government, all hinged together under which she would admit to a number of factual statements that comprise part of her defered prosecution of her agreement and the things she said to an unnamed bank for untrue the lead that bank to continue to engage in financial transactions and dollar transactions in the us financial system to benefit huawei and it's partner with respect to their business activities in iran. i can't think of any case quite like this were the us government has entered into a prosecution improvement like this in exchange for the release of two nationals of a foreign country who were just taken captive as part of both look like hostage taking. that is exactly what happened here and i'm thankful for their safe return to canada, but does set a bit a dangerous precedent in the future of countries like the united states and canada are carrying out their laws under their legal systems and her case was going through the canadian legal system and then she was losing at every turn and suddenly we had to pull the plug because it's nationals had been put in peril and some authoritarian other country. china has repeatedly maintained that the detention is nothing to do with the detention of meng wanzhou. but this must cause some concern among canadians were planning to visit china or have families in china and potential long—term future implications between the two countries. i think between canada and china has now been removed. and she cannot return to canada but there is a high—risk environment, notjust for canadian nationals but western business executives who are working or travelling to china. they are at risk for being taken captive, being detained on pretence for something else the chinese one. the chinese want. that's just the way things work in china. if the chinese communist party want it to work that way, and as long as they understand with the risk environment is a for doing business in china, people can make appropriate judgment. you used the phrase earlier, delayed prosecution. is there still a sword of damocles over meng wanzhou's head? she is prohibited from making any statements that contradict the statements that she said under oath are true. so, if she were to held a press conference and say i had nothing to do with this powerpoint they're talking about and try to hide our relationship with this other company doing business in iran, if she contradicts the factual statements that she has made, then the us government can go before the district court in new york and seek to withdraw from this agreement and she would be subject to prosecution all over again. hard to say whether she will be careless in her international travelled as she arguably was when she travelled to vancouver a few years ago, but she will be at risk of rearrest if she violates the terms of this agreement and thejustice department before the court of new york to get the court to withdraw this agreement. david loughman firmly of the us department ofjustice speaking department of justice speaking to department ofjustice speaking to us earlier. in germany, the last day of campaigning has come to an end before elections on sunday in which voters will be choosing who will replace merkel as chancellor. pulls open in a few hours' time. a role that angela merkel held for 16 years and they're facing a tight race against the social democrats. i think we seem to be having a problem running that report, but we will be bringing you live results and analysis in our german elections news especially on bbc world news. you canjoin roz atkins especially on bbc world news. you can join roz atkins and guests as germans vote to decide who is going to succeed angela merkel. in the netherlands, covid drills have been eased to a social distancing is no longer required and nightclubs can reopen for the first time since the start of the pandemic. but a corona pass will be required for access to catering and entertainment venues, as our correspondent reports from the hague. clutching a range of grievances, these protesters believe that corona pass represents another infringement of their basic liberties. they paraded around the heart of the hague, encouraging bemused bus passengers to pull down their facemasks which are still mandatory in public transport here. these rallies regularly reveal the conspiracy theories in small pockets of dutch society. this populist politician has won support and contempt with his antilock down anti—vaccination rallying cry. the corona pass is a qr code that contains proof that you have been fully vaccinated, recently tested negative are recovered from the virus. from now on, you need to flash this pass to enter bars, restaurants, theatres, cinemas, galleries and events. the dutch health ministry said there will be no instant repercussions for business owners who refuse to enforce the corona pass rule. yet. one protester here told me he was disappointed with this turn out. most people in the netherlands have accepted the path is the key to unlocking the social realms and interactions that have been out of reach for so long. anna halligan, bbc news in the hague. in east africa, a suicide bombing has been condemned. the attack happened in the islamist movement saying that it carried out the attack. our africa regional editor sent us this report. the car bomb exploded near a busy checkpoint near the presidential palace, a high valued target for the militants. police say ten vehicles were destroyed by the massive blast. although al—shabaab�*s main targets are members of the government, the security forces and special organisations, civilians are also killed in the attacks. terrorists have not only attacked the soldiers and officers, but they also killed a mother and her two children who were visiting the vaccination centre here. one of the dead, a highly respected government adviser on human rights and women's affairs. car bombings are not as common in the areas they used to be, finding it harder to get through checkpoints. the violence continues and al—shabaab is sending more suicide bombers on foot and they have blown themselves up and tea shops and ice cream parlors. the group has existed for about 15 years. its aim to establish a caliphate. al—shabaab controls large parts of southern and central somalia. they regularly attacked government controlled areas, and some 20,000 african union troops and regular us air strikes have been unable to contain the insurgency which has spread to neighbouring kenya. the militancy is just one of some of somalia's many problems. there are other forms of violence involving clans and rival politicians. plus locusts, droughts and floods. critics say somali politicians are so preoccupied with the rowing about a much delayed election process that they have taken their eyes off the countries urgent security and humanitarian challenges. you are watching bbc news. a reminder of our main headlines... back home, huawei executive returns to a heroes welcome in china after spending more than two and a half years under house arrest in canada. as soon as her freedom was a short, china released the two mediums it's held since days after her arrest. they have now arrived back in calgary. let's return to the election in germany. we received this report. the race for the chancellery has reached the final stage. in line skaters sprinting through berlin today as those vying for germany's top job intensify their efforts to succeed angela merkel. translation: you don't know who would do a better - job than angela merkel. they'll say they would do a betterjob it's hard to believe that, no matter which party. i don't think that it's a really good time for germany but now, i think it is getting worse. forweeks, it looked as though this man would be the next german chancellor. olaf scholz, social democrat and finance minister and angela merkel�*s coalition government is still leading the polls, but onlyjust. the representative of angela merkel�*s conservatives, narrowed the gap, perhaps because the chancellor who vowed to avoid the election campaign has been at his side in recent days. the future government must provide wealth, security and peace and that is what we stand for. germany's green party will most likely take third place lead by annalena baerbock. they hoped for better and climate change is a big election issue here. but he could still end up in a coalition with the winner. as if all of that was not competition enough, the berlin marathon is scheduled as german voters go to the polls and we met with this couple as they familiarise themselves with the course. translation: i would've loved to have kept angela merkel. . i do not see her strength in any of the candidates. translation: yes, but angela merkel is not the popular- at the beginning either, so we should give these people a chance. germany is on the threshold of a new political era, but it may take some time. whoever comes out on top left to form a coalition government and many combinations are technically possible but politically tricky to negotiate. that means it could be weeks, if not months before this country gets a new government and angela merkel steps aside for a new german chancellor. the prime minister of haiti has told the united nations... people continue to try to seek better living conditions for theirfamilies. despite the deportation of around 2000 haitians from the us—mexico border. he also expressed shock over border guards on horseback chasing down haitian migrants. translation: over recent days, the images of the way _ many of my compatriots have been handled at the border between mexico and the united states have shocked many people. we do not wish to challenge the right of a sovereign state to control the entry of foreigners into its territory or to send back to their country of origin those who enter a country illegally. however, we believe that many countries which are prosperous today have been built through successive waves of migrants and refugees. the issue of migrants must remind us that human beings, fathers and mothers who have children, are always going to flee poverty and conflict. they will always strive to offer better living standards to their children. migration will continue as long as our planet has both wealthy areas whilst most of the population of the worlds population lives in extreme poverty. that british boxer has been beaten by the ukrainian boxer.

celebration, it is a global moment of unity and we are calling on the g20 and the world's wealthiest governments to step up, and what we would like to see is for them to commit to vaccine justice. it's not just commit to vaccine justice. it's notjust enough to redistribute vaccines, let's make sure countries have what they need to produce vaccines. we want to make sure that countries stack up make sure that countries stack up and fulfil their promise to provide the vulnerable countries on vulnerable lines of climate change with $100 billion annually. they have made this prominence and having to fill them. i make them are on the brink of starvation and it would cost $6 billion to provide all of them with a meal for a year. $6 billion sounds like a lot, but i remind your viewers that

mobilised, that 157 million trees will be planted as a result of the commitments, 87 million of which will be planted and conserved by the end of next year. and over 60 million additional vaccine doses have been announced for some of the world's poorest countries. in addition, we are asking people to use their place and take action. we are asking people here in the united states, as the us congress is about to debate the most consequential legislation on climate change in us history, to contact a member of congress. this could be a game changer if president biden can go to glasgow but this legislation in hand, they will send a strong signal to india, china, brazil, my own country of australia, to all step up. there have been some comments that it's somewhat hypocritical to be advocating to fight climate change whilst at the same time flying pop stars and celebrities all over the world. how do you respond to that? well, i think when you look at some of the performers, artists, people like the duke and duchess of sussex, they were here this week alongside the un general assembly, here to meet with experts, and tonight, in their address committee actually referred to those experts. it wasn't about what they thought should happen, they said we have heard from the experts. we have heard from the experts. we have heard from the experts. we have heard from the foreign ministers, the president and prime minister is of african countries, and they are saying it is a tragedy that stale 18 months into the pandemic, less than 4% of the african continent has been

will replace chance — chancellor angela merkel. he can reach us on twitter. for me and the team, thanks for watching, we will see you soon. bye—bye. hello, there. part two of the weekend looks sunnier generally than what we had on saturday because more of a breeze around to break up the cloud, so a dry and a largely warm day for most places but there will be rain arriving in the west later on. now this cold front will herald a change — behind it, much cooler air, ahead of it we've got that warm and muggy air mass. through sunday night and monday, that cold front spreads across the country bringing a band of rain, squally winds, and opens the floodgates for something much cooler, much more autumnal for the upcoming week. now this weekend, we're looking at balmy temperatures into the low 20s for many of us. to next week, we're generally around the mid to high teens. a bit closer to where they should be for the time of year but at times even a little below average. so, for sunday, we start off on a dry note with variable cloud, some good spells of sunshine around. chance of one or two showers across the midlands and the southeast — otherwise, most places dry and then we start to see this cold front pushing into northern ireland and then western scotland, bringing some heavy rain and strong winds, so temperatures here — mid to high teens, eastern scotland, much of england and wales — another very warm day for the time of year. now, through sunday night, that band of cloud and rain slowly edges its way eastwards — some heavy rain on it, some squally winds, too. but for much of eastern england it should stay dry throughout the night, and feeling very mild again. but behind this rain band, it will be turning cooler with some blustery showers. so for monday morning, it could be pretty atrocious for the morning commute with this band of pretty heavy rain spreading eastwards — strong and squally winds — eventually, the rain band will clear the east coast into the north sea, so monday afternoon doesn't look too bad — bright with some sunshine — many showers, though, across western areas, some of which will be quite heavy and blustery, and it will be cooler — temperatures 13 to 18 degrees, a little bit closer to the seasonal average. into tuesday, we could see this other feature running up from the southwest around our area of low pressure, so although it could could start fine and dry across much of scotland and england and wales, it will turn cloudier and wetter across northern areas through the day. this rain could be quite heavy and persistent, winds quite strong — particularly close to the coast. it will be dry through the daylight hours across eastern areas — 18 or 19 degrees before the rain spreads in from the west. and then the upcoming week remains very unsettled, very autumnal — strong winds at times with spells of rain, followed by sunshine and blustery showers. this is bbc news — the headlines. china has like a welcomed home the huawei executive who spent three years under house arrest in canada while fighting extradition to the us. minutes before meng wanzhou touchdown at the airport, tear canadian men who have been held by
