10:01 pm
head to wembley. anthony joshua takes on wladimir klitschko in british boxing's richest ever bout. in half an hour we'll be taking a look at what's making tomorrow's front pages in the papers. the observer has more reaction to those calls from eu leaders to guarantee the rights of eu citizens living in britain following brexit. good evening and welcome to bbc news. the president of the european commission has warned that many people in britain are underestimating the difficulties of brexit. jean—claude yuncker was speaking after eu leaders, meeting in brussels, unanimously agreed their negotiating position on britain's departure from the union.
10:02 pm
the french president francois hollande said britain would have a price to pay and would inevitably be poorer outside the eu. damian grammaticas reports. enter your‘s most powerful — chancellors, prime ministers and presidents gathered in brussels today. it tookjust four minutes to sign off on their negotiating position. —— enter europe's most power. they were ready, they say, to face the uk across the table with a single set of demands. no dissension, no splits, just smiles, even taking a few snaps for their albums. translation: there is definitely a price, a cost for the uk. that is the choice it has made. it shouldn't be a punishment, but europe will defend its interests, and the uk will be in a worse position outside the eu than it is now.
10:03 pm
that is what they want from the uk: a guarantee of citizens' rights. eu citizens in the uk, british citizens elsewhere in the eu. a financial settlement, meaning that the uk must agree to pay a portion of all spending up to 2020. and solutions to appoint new border controls between north and south in ireland. what eu leaders are most worried about is what angela merkel has called "illusions" on the british side about what can be achieved in brexit negotiations. this process today is about injecting a bit of realism into the debate — the eu's red lines. only if their demands are satisfied will eu leaders then move on to discuss future trade deal with it uk. what do you think the illusions are that some in the uk harbour? translation: sometimes, i have the impression that some in britain,
10:04 pm
i don't mean the government, do not understand the process we have set, a phased negotiation. this gives me the opportunity to say again, there is no conspiracy, no—one is ganging up on britain. the eu side even agreeing the first item on their list, citizens' rights, won't be straightforward. jean—claude juncker says the eu is ready to give guarantees, but he isn't so sure about the uk. we have already prepared a text which could be adopted immediately if our british friends were ready to sign it like that. that will probably not happen. and that's just one stumbling block. money could be another before any talk about trade deals will start. and we'll find out how this story and many others are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:30pm and 11:30pm this evening in the papers. as the eu was meeting
10:05 pm
the prime minister was in scotland, her first visit since calling the general election, she used it to repeat her claim that every vote for the conservatives would strengthen her hand in the brexit negotiations as glen campbell reports. a world away from the eu summit, on royal deeside, near aberdeen. theresa may and scottish conservative leader ruth davidson came here to address an invited audience of supporters, as the tories target snp—held territory in the hope of weakening the nationalist campaign for another vote on scottish independence. if the snp win the election in scotland, what right would you have to block a second referendum on independence once the terms of brexit are clear?
10:06 pm
right now we should be working together, not pulling apart and that's why i say every vote for me and my team in this election will be a vote for strengthening our hand in the brexit negotiations. that will strengthen our hand to get the best possible deal. in nearby banchory, four leaflets were posted but no—one answered the prime minister's knock. for years, the tories have been toxic in scotland and like labour and the liberal democrats, they still have only one mp, but they're confident they can make gains in scotland at this election at the expense of the snp. you cannae trust the tories. in glasgow, the snp first minister knows it'll be hard to hold all 56 scottish seats won by her partyjust two years ago, but opinion polls suggest the snp is on course to return more mps than all their rivals put together. this election does ensure that decisions about the future of our country are taken
10:07 pm
by the scottish people and the scottish parliament, not by a right—wing tory government at westminster. the liberal democrats want to keep the uk in the european single market and keep scotland in the uk. people in scotland don't want another independence referendum. it would cause uncertainty and chaos at an already difficult time. labour says the conservatives have put the union between scotland and england at risk. theresa may has only given the snp the excuse they were looking for to have a second independence referendum because of her gamble with brexit. but theresa may's tories think they are on the verge of a scottish comeback. the labour leaderjeremy corbyn has defended his style of leadership. speaking to supporters in east london he accused theresa may of using "simple slogans" to seek "unchallenged" power, and slipping into what he called a "presidential bunker mentality". our political correspondent iain watson reports. applause
10:08 pm
you may have noticed the tone of this campaign has been, well, a little personal. the labour leader usually doesn't directly respond, but today, he decided the best form of defence was attack. if party leaders put themselves ahead of serving the people, they stop listening and even put our country at risk. barely nine months into theresa may's premiership, there are clear warning signs that she and her closest advisers are slipping into that presidential bunker mentality. the conservatives are determined to say the choice of this election is all about leadership. labour's usual response to this relentless message is to try to change the subject, to talk about policy. but now clearlyjeremy corbyn
10:09 pm
believes it's worth the risk of taking theresa may on on her own territory. whereas insecure leaders want to feel stronger by asking you to give them more power, i recognise strong leadership as equipping you with more power. applause and here's a different type of leadership. ukip‘s paul nuttall was in hartlepool to announce he was standing for election in, well, somewhere else entirely. boston and skegness in lincolnshire. i've been due to be in hartlepool anyway, the date has been in the diary. i've come up here to campaign alongside our great branch and we will be targeting this seat at the general election. now usually political leaders say they want to be prime minister. not the liberal democrat leader, though. right around the country, i'm here to say i am determined to be the leader of britain's opposition. the liberal democrats. cheering the liberal democrats are absolutely clear that our country faces an absolute democratic challenge if it becomes a one—party state. the conservatives will want the issue of leadership to continue to dominate this election. the parties seem to have decided they now need to try to neutralise it rather than ignore it.
10:10 pm
iain watson, bbc news, westminster. the ukip leader paul nuttall has said that he will stand as a candidate in the general election, in the boston and skegness constituency. mr nuttall, out canvassing in hartlepool today, recently stood as a candidate in the stoke byelection. he said it would be an honour to be standing again in a constituency that voted overwhelmingly to leave the european union in last year's referendum. it's emerged that one of the six people arrested in a counter terrorism operation in north london on thursday night had been suspected of attempting to travel to syria to join so called islamic state. mohamed amoudi, who is 21, was deported back to the uk. our home affairs correspondent june kelly gave us more details about some of the suspects in the alleged terror plot. he had travelled to turkey with two 17—year—old boys and it was believed
10:11 pm
that they were then planning to try to get across the border into syria and join up with is fighters. in fact, they were stopped in turkey, deported back to the uk, questioned by the british authorities and released without charge. an update on the woman who was shot by police, she is said to be improving in hospital. meanwhile, in a separate investigation, involving the man who was detained in whitehall, it is now clear that batsman had spent a period in afghanistan before he returned to the uk before the end of last year. a man's appeared in court charged with the murder of the former royal navy officer mike samwell, who is thought to have been run over by his own car last weekend. mr samwell had tried to stop thieves from stealing his car from outside his home in manchester. ryan gibbons who's 29, is charged with murder, burglary and aggravated vehicle—taking.
10:12 pm
donald trump's accused north korea of disrespecting china after it test—fired a second ballistic missile. the test was launched hours after the american secretary of state rex tillerson called for a tougher international approach at the united nations security council. daniela relph reports. as tensions build, it is a reminder of america's formidable military might. the uss carl vinson arrived in waters off the korean peninsula, just hours after the failed missile test. shortly before arriving to make his case in new york, the us secretary of state at the united nations. his message was clear. un sanctions aren't working. the pressure on north korea must be stepped up. with each successive detonation and missile test, north korea pushes northeast asia and the world closer to instability and broader conflict. the threat of a north korean nuclear attack on seoul or tokyo is real.
10:13 pm
and it is likely only a matter of time before north korea develops the capability to strike the us mainland. so far, un pressure has not stopped north korea accelerating its weapons programme. overnight, president trump also gave his view. he tweeted, "north korea disrespected the wishes of china and its highly respected president when it launched, though unsuccessfully, a missile today. bad!" and in london this morning, during a visit to the uk, the japanese prime minister denounced the missile test. translation: it is a grave threat to our country. this is absolutely not acceptable. we strongly condemn such acts. this latest move by north korea's young leader appears to have strengthened international resolve to increase the pressure on him and his country. daniela relph, bbc news. it's seen as a vital marker
10:14 pm
for all us presidents, 100 days in office. and as donald trump reaches that milestone, tens of thousands of protesters are rallying in washington and other us cities over climate change. mr trump has previously called it a hoax. crowds have been making their way to the white house to express their concern about the climate and the adminstration's plans to roll back measures to curb global warming. president trump made ambitious campaign promises for what he would achieve in his first 100 days, and in a few hours, he will be speaking to supporters in harrrisburg, the state capital of pennsylvania. our correspondent laura bicker is there, and with people already waiting to get into the venue, i asked her about the mood. you asked me what people think, let's have a look. these are trump supporters who have been here since the early morning. what do you think of his first 100 years? first 100
10:15 pm
days went fantastic. what are his main accomplishments? getting things started. getting people talking, thinking about what our future is going to be. he is the, he has got it, she is doing it. you're waiting to hear from it, she is doing it. you're waiting to hearfrom him in a little while. what do you want to hear from your president? just what i've been seeing. he is quick to tell us the same thing he has been telling us but it is working. he has people talking across the country. some people can't handle that, but that is on them. the rest of the country for it. thank you very much. to give you an idea of how big the queue or line is, it stretches right friendly building. donald trump has signed 29 executive orders but he is yet to have a major legislative win. the headlines on bbc news: european council president donald

tusk calls on britain to come up with a "serious response" on what will happen to eu citizens living here after brexit. the prime minister tells voters in scotland that every vote for the conservatives will strengthen the union and strengthen her hand in brexit talks. labour leaderjeremy corbyn has defended his style of leadership, saying other party leaders had given in to vested interests and manipulated the public. sport now and a full round up, from the bbc sport centre. after ten successive seasons in the premier league, sunderland have been relegated to the championship. their fate was sealed by a one nil defeat at home to bournemouth. josh king scored the only goal with just two minutes left. that condemned sunderland to a 23rd league defeat this season. that, coupled with hull city's draw at southampton means
10:17 pm
david moyes' side are down. sadly, we are all obviously disappointed, feeling more for the supporters that support the club. they come and watch regularly, they are the ones you feel most about. we take collective responsibility, from the top to the bottom. because of that, we will dust ourselves down, look at it over the next few weeks and see what we have to do. is it the one overriding thing that has gone wrong this season, or an accumulation? i think it is an accumulation. for me to give you a snap answer to that after the game, i can't really do it. i would rather take some time to think about it and put it in the right place. hull are still very much in a scrap for survival despite their goalless draw at southampton. hull keeper eldin jakupovic saved dusan tadic‘s penalty kick in stoppage time to earn a vital point for the tigers. they're now three points above the drop zone.
10:18 pm
burnley have taken a huge step towards safety with a 2—0 win at crystal palace. ashley barnes gave them the lead in the eighth minute. andre gray wrapped up victory for the visitors late on. it's their first win away in the league this season. burnley are up to 14th place while palace slip back to 16th. they're still seven points clear of the relegation zone though. celtic registered their biggest ever away win over old firm rivals rangers with a 5—1 thrashing at ibrox. celtic are still unbeaten in domestic football this season. elsewhere there were wins for stjohnstone, kilmarnock, and dundee. hearts drew with partick. lewis hamilton's weekend has been a struggle so far. he'll start 11th on the grid for tomorrow's russian grand prix, behind his teammate valtteri bottas. ferrari's return to form has continued though. championship leader sebastian vettel is on pole, closely followed by his teammate kimi raikkonen. it feels fantastic. i'm glad i got

i'll have more in the next hour. pope francis has held a mass in front of thousands of people in cairo on the second day of his visit to egypt. the pontiff warned against religious fanaticism as he addressed the crowd of around 15,000 faithful at the city's air defence stadium. he has now left egypt after the visit, which was aimed at building ties with muslim leaders and supporting the country's christian community. the bbc‘s martin bashir was travelling with the pope and gave this assessment. pope francis arrived in egypt, with a christian community under siege after those twin bomb attacks on palm sunday three weeks ago. but here at the air force stadium there's a sense of celebration at his arrival and i think that, overall, it has been a successful trip. he's navigated some delicate meetings with the president in egypt and the prime minister. of course, the president announced a state of emergency for three months after those bombings on palm sunday.
10:22 pm
but he's also been here to emphasise that commitment he has to interfaith dialogue. as he said at the university, nobody should be able to claim acts of violence, vengeance or hatred under the cloak of any religious faith or belief. patients who have survived oesophageal cancer, a particularly agressive cancer that affects the gullett, have been taking part in a day of campaigning to raise awareness of the symptoms and treatment available. the norfolk and norwich hospital is helping to pioneer a treatment, but the disease has to be spotted early, as gareth george reports. patients who have survived this cancerjoining a patients who have survived this cancer joining a bore patients who have survived this cancerjoining a bore you with sorbet at the norfolk and norwich hospital. they want people to do this at sporting events to raise awareness of the type of cancer that is increasing. taking part today, a

the most under sedation. this is is the procedure. every cat at a little later, when it gets too big, it becomes nine—week chemotherapy, followed by an eight—hour long operation and another nine weeks of chemotherapy. if the warning signs are seeded, the surgeon hopes we can blow the whistle on us fickle cancer. —— oesophageal cancer. over the past few years many museums have tried to shake off their dusty images and present themselves as places where learning can be fun. and this year's entrants for museum of the year award are no exception — being dedicated to subjects such as sculpture, geology and modern art — as colin paterson reports. when the hepworth wakefield was designed, the idea was that the outside of the building would be a work of art itself, every bit as much as the exhibits inside. now the gallery has received some serious recognition. it's one of the five nominees competing for the title museum of the year. specialising in sculpture,
10:25 pm
it's been rewarded for a year which has seen a 20% rise in visitors, many of them very young. i think actually children are the most open—minded people of all to work with and they end up inspiring their families and adults to come back on a regular basis too. and they had certainly been taking it all in. i have seen some very pretty sculptures. they're made of glass, wood, material and metal. i have never seen paintings hanging on doors before! another reason the hepworth has been nominated is that its year was enhanced by one very special donation. a chinese dog from about 2000 bc. 2000 bc?! probably, yes. it's just balancing in the corner. just balancing, yes. watch out, gavin. don't knock that off with the camera! an art collection that covers every
10:26 pm
inch of a north london house. here we have...the loo. the toilet! even the toilet has art in it. absolutely packed full of art, again on both sides of the doors. tim sayer has been collecting art for more than five decades. a visit to the hepworth prompted him to donate his entire collection to them. and now the hepworth is nominated for museum of the year and your donation was in their submission, how does that make you feel? excited, surprised, amazed, really. i had no idea we were going to be signalled out as a contributory factor. we're so pleased. —— singled out. when it comes to museum of the year, there are some very strong other runners and riders, including the national heritage centre for horseracing in newmarket, opened in november by the queen. one of its star exhibits, a racing simulator. it's not believed that her majesty had a go. the tate modern is nominated
10:27 pm
for a year which saw the opening of a new building, the switch house, increasing its space by 60%. and also up for the prize is the lapworth museum of geology in birmingham, home to a quarter of a million objects. the line—up is completed by the sir john sowen's museum in london. the neoclassical architect left his collection to the nation. last year, £7 million was spent restoring it to how it looked when he died in 1837. it gives me an enormous pleasure... onjuly 5th, only one of the museums will be given a new precious item, the title museum of the year. jay wynne has the weather. hello, there. good evening. a pretty quiet start to the bank holiday weekend. over the next few days, it looks as if things will be getting warmer.
10:28 pm
the breeze will be picking up, and that mightjust offset things a little bit. it wouldn't be a bank holiday weekend without some rain. we have an area of low pressure on the west of us. ahead of that, the isobars get closer together overnight and the wind comes in from the south, bringing milder air with it but also eventually rain creeping into the south west. but it's dry overnight pretty much everywhere. variable amounts of cloud and that breeze quite noticeable, coming in from the south east. probably a touch of gale force by the end of the night. most of us will be fine and dry, temperatures not dropping away too far. it's 8—11 celsius for most of us, but it might go a a little lower than that in the north west highlands. a dry start to the day for most places. brighter the further north and east you go. the further south and west, that wind and rain setting in. eventually, it will get into many of the southern counties through the afternoon. quite a different sort of day, compared to what we saw on saturday. a lot more cloud in the sky and it will be windy, some rain as well. some of the rain could be quite heavy but it hasn't quite got
10:29 pm
to the london area yet. with the rain, 10 or 11 celsius. warm through the midlands, only 10 celsius in newcastle and 9 celsius in aberdeen. much warmer the further west you go, could go as high as 16, 17 celsius in the north west highlands. some premier league action taking place tomorrow. no real problems at man united or everton but later in the day, maybe during the match or on thejourney home, wetter weather spreading its way through the london area. gets into north wales, east anglia and fringes into northern england but by bank holiday monday, it's reallyjust scattered showers across the southern half of the uk. some good spells of sunshine and for most of northern ireland and scotland, fine and dry. temperatures 10 or 11 celsius for the north sea coast. head further west, 1a or 15 celsius. again, a cool day on that north sea coast on tuesday, with a fair bit of cloud. a little bit of rain but, again, come inland and west, it's much brighter and some sunshine
10:30 pm
and it will feel a good deal warmer as well. much of the rest of the week is looking pretty good with dry weather and light winds and warm in the west.
