welcome to bbc news and thank you for joining welcome to bbc news and thank you forjoining us. president trump has marked the 100th day of his presidency with a speech attacking the media and defending his own record. he was speaking at a rally in pennsylvania — one of the key states that helped him win last year's election. he made ambitious campaign promises for what he would achieve in his first 100 days, and has claimed he's made historic achievements in that period. addressing thousands of his supporters, he attacked the mainstream media, accusing journalists of bias. he also said relations with europe and china were strong, thousands ofjobs were being created, and that his promise of removing illegal immigrants and building a wall on the mexican border would be kept. here's a flavour of what he said. if the media'sjob is to be honest and tell the truth, then i think we would all agree the media deserves a very, very, big fat failing grade.

cheering. very dishonest people — not all of them — we call it the fake news — you notice they're using the word fake news — where did you hear it first folks? so i promised you in my inauguration address, 100 days ago, that now arrives the hour of action. and we've — believe me — started from day one, and that's what we've delivered — 100 days of action. in fact, those people and others are exhausted. they've never seen anything like that. they've never seen anything like this. we are ending the off—shoring, bringing back american jobs. —— american. we are eradicating the criminal gangs and cartels that have

infiltrated our country. you are reading about them all the time. some of you have big problems with them. thank you for that sign — "blacks for trump," i love that guy. thank you, thank you. we need safety, we need cameras, we need all the things we're going to be putting in, and we need the wall. and we will build the wall as sure as you are standing there, tonight. we need the wall. cheering. we'll build the wall folks, don't even worry about it. go to sleep.

go home, go to sleep. rest assured, we need it. there's lots more about the first 100 days on our website. including this quiz, where you can test your knowledge about president trump's economic policies, and work out whether or not you'd be hired orfired. you'll find it at bbc.dom/news or on the bbc news app. and let's have a look at the other stories making use this our: —— hour. 27 eu countries have said there won't be talks with britain on future relations before key issues have been resolved in negotiations on the uk's withdrawal. eu leaders said solutions had to be found first for the rights of eu citizens in the uk and britons in europe, the money britain will be asked to pay, and the status of the irish border. in his first public speech after more than 20 years in exile, the veteran afghan warlord, gulbuddin hekmatyar, has called on the taliban

to lay down their weapons. known as the "butcher of kabul" for his attacks on the capital, he signed a peace deal with the afghan government in september. speaking in eastern afghanistan, he urged militants to stop what he called "the pointless war". the cuban armed forces say that a military plane has crashed in the west of the island. all eight people on board were killed when the plane came down in a mountainous region. the soviet—built aircraft disappeared from radar screens. and an operation to recover the bodies is now under way. stay with us here on bbc news, still to come: anthonyjoshua stops vladimir klitschko in the 11th round to claim the wba world heavyweight title, in the biggest bout in british boxing history. back now to our main story. and earlier i spoke to our correspondent laura bicker who was at president trump's rally in pennsylvania. i asked laura how

she thought it went. these are the heads and highlights of the trump campaign all rolled into one now here in pennsylvania. a crucial state as you mentioned earlier, a swing state that managed to tip them over the age and win him the white house. but this is amongst his supporters. this is amongst his real base. and as they were failing to come in, this is what they had come to you. there was " build a wall was quote, " "make america great again"". they heard a list of accomplishments that donald trump feels he has made. he talked about appointing a supreme courtjudge, which hasn't been done 413 years or more. he talked aboutjob killing regulations that he feels he has created, which got rapped —— rapturous applause. a lot of people here today said their parents or cousins or here today said their parents or cousins 01’ someone here today said their parents or cousins or someone used to work at a coal mine. they want those

coalmining jobs back. you heard about steel manufacturing, aluminium manufacturing. he was playing to his blue—collar base. a blue—collar base that used to belong to democrats, that used to belong to democrats, that donald trump feels he has stolen from underneath them. when it comes to expand about—face, nothing he said in a speech and i'd will do that. he stuck to his american first mantra. now, whether or not he will stick to that over the next four yea rs, stick to that over the next four years, that is will have to wait and see. the timing of the rally is interesting. donald trump this the same night as the annual white house correspondents' dinner. this is a night where the press have a light—hearted night, a night of politics, if. donald trump snubbed them. that says something about his relationship with immediate president? -- if you will. it is attended by celebrities in the press. the idea is that it is a bit ofa press. the idea is that it is a bit of a collective night where they can talk lightheartedly to one another. they put aside guards or problems

they might have. —— and the press. donald trump has decided not to do that. instead, he wanted that split screen visual that will have been on network tv site. he will have wanted the glitz and glamour of this part —— slap up meal, while he walks into his farmyard area. he said he would not like to be anywhere else. that was his opening gambit. then came the news about fake media, not really news, because he has kept that up throughout his campaign, but he believes that we are manufacturing polls. he believes that when a comes to his poll numbers, he says it goes back, because right now, his polling is historically low for a president at this stage. and he believes it has said that the media were not right about the polls when it came to winning the white house, and not right now. so again, all the hits and highlights that we expect from a donald trump campaign rally. but we

really are three and a half years away from any further raise. so what be is trained to do, he seems to get a bit of energy from the crowd. we saw ina a bit of energy from the crowd. we saw in a number of campaign rallies, and just after becoming president, he had a tough couple of weeks, had a rally, and gave him a boost. and i think after 100 days, that is how he wa nted think after 100 days, that is how he wanted to celebrate. what you think of the contradiction that he is in pennsylvania to talk about his achievements, but has also talked about the yardstick of measuring success in 100 days as ridiculous? yes. it is typical trumpism by many regard. he was to mark the 100 days. just at the start, it he was not far from here, at the start of his presidency. he gave it be to unaware said he would —— what he would do in his first 100 days. i think it will

be disappointed by not repealing and replacing 0bamacare, not getting his travel ban through, and various things that he promised the electorate he would do and has been unable to. when you speak to people outside, people in congress, many of them even blame republicans for not getting it through. so he wants to use it as a yardstick, but at the same time, there are many things that he will look back and say that did not get done. if you speak to historians that look at politicians, presidents, and their 100 days, what they will tell you is that it sets they will tell you is that it sets the tone for the first four years, and obviously, it is where they learn lessons. now, has he learned any learn lessons. now, has he learned a ny lessons learn lessons. now, has he learned any lessons from the inability to repeal and replace 0bamacare? has he learned any lessons from the travel ban? that will be key for donald trump going forward. laura bicker joining us late pennsylvania. now, pope francis has called for international mediation to ease escalating tensions between the united states and north korea, warning the situation had become "too hot". speaking to journalists on the plane taking him back to rome from cairo, the pope said

that the crisis between the two countries risked sparking a devastating war in which "a good part of humanity" would be destroyed. translation: these missiles in korea, it has been a year that they have been talking about it. but now it seems the issue has heated up too much. i always appeal for a solution through diplomatic means for the future of humanity. a wider war would destroy humanity. it would destroy the culture of everything. it would be terrible. let us stop and find a diplomatic solution. i feel the united nations have a duty to resume their leadership because it has become too watered down. more now on the president of the european commission who's has warned that many people in britain are underestimating the difficulties of brexit. jean—claude juncker was speaking after eu leaders, meeting in brussels, unanimously agreed their

negotiating position on britain's departure from the union. from brussels damian grammaticas reports. it took them just four minutes to sign off on their negotiating position. 27 countries united, ready, now, they say to face the table with a single set of demands. no dissensions or splits. just smiles and cheques. even taking a fuse labs for their own albums. translation: there is definitely a price, a cost of the uk. that is the choice it has made. europe will defend its interests, and the uk will be in a worse position outside the eu than it is now. —— few snaps. this is what they want from the uk will make a guarantee of citizens' rights. many the rights to live,

work, and study, now enjoyed by 4 million people. eu citizens and uk citizens included. a financial settlement, meaning the uk must fulfil its promise of spending up to 2020. and promises on the border controls between the north and south inala. leaders worry that the uk is under bed and unrealistic about what is to come. what is most worrying for eu leaders is what angela merkel has called illusions on the uk side of what can be achieved. this process today is about injecting a bit of realism into the debate. the eu's redlines. but only if the demand is satisfied will be eu leaders go on to discuss a trail deal with the uk. what are the illusions you think the uk harbour? translation: sometimes, i have the impression that some had the impression, i do not mean the government, do not understand the

process we have set. they faced negotiation. this gives me the opportunity to say there is no conspiracy. nvidia ganging up on britain. and the eu is i believe that even agree on the first side on their list, citizens' right, will be straightforward. jean—claude juncker says he is ready to give guarantees, but is not sure about the uk. we have already prepared the tax they could be adopted immediately if the uk was ready to sign it. that will probably not happen. and that is just one stumbling block. money could be another. before any talk about trade deals will start. you're watching bbc news. these are oui’ you're watching bbc news. these are our main stories: donald trump has marked his first 100 days as us president — attacking the media and defending his own record — at a rally in pennsylvania. pope francis calls for international mediation to ease tensions over north korea and prevent a possible war. here, theresa may has been campaigning in scotland — her first visit there since calling

the general election. she repeated 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 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? 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 are 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 will 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 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 that 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. glenn campbell, bbc news. the labour leader, jeremy 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. 0ur political correspondent iain watson reports. 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. now, labour's usual response to this relentless message is to try to change the subject, to talk about policy. but now, clearly, jeremy corbyn believes it is 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. and here is 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'd been due to be up here in hartlepool anyway. the date has been in the diary. i've come up here to campaign alongside our great branch. and look, you know, we will be targeting this seat at the general election. usually political leaders say they want to be prime minister, not the liberal democrat leader, though. right around the country, i am here to say, i am determine to be the leader of britain's opposition. 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. other parties seemed to have decided they now need to try to neutralise it, rather than ignore it. ian watson, bbc news, westminster it has 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 the 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. it has now become clear that one of them, amoudi, had travelled to turkey in 2015 with 217 —year—olds. 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. just an update this evening on the woman who was shot by police in north london. she is said to be improving in hospital. and meanwhile, in the separate counterterrorism investigation involving the man who was detained in whitehall, it has now become clear that that man had spent a period in afghanistan before he

returned to the uk towards the end of last year. turkey's government says it is imposing new, hard—line measures to protect its national security, two weeks after president erdogan won a referendum on extending his power. it has sacked almost 4,000 more civil servants, banned hugely popular television dating shows, and blocked access to wikipedia, claiming the website is smearing the country's reputation. sarah corker reports. since lastjuly‘s failed coup attempt, ankara has sacked or arrested more than 160,000 people, and president erdogan‘s crackdown on those he believes have plotted against him shows no sign of abating. 0n against him shows no sign of abating. on saturday, almost 4000 people were expelled from the civil service and military. that included 1200 members of the armed forces. those expelled posed a security threat, the authorities said. hours earlier, turkey blocked access to

one of the world's most visited websites, wikipedia, claiming it is spearing the country's reputation, and some tv dating shows were also banned. we use the social media blocking, but this is slightly different. and this is different because wikipedia is also a platform to reach out, as well. people in country use wikipedia to present a turkish point of view. now, if wikipedia is blocked in turkey that means that turks can't edit it. so it is almost handing over the editorial decision to other countries. so it is a policy that could backfire. wikipedia founder jimmy wales took to twitter. while in ankara, others reacted with disbelief. translation: i don't think it is nice to control information in this age where information in this age where information can be easily accessed. i don't welcome the way it is blocked. translation: this was done

with youtube and twitter before, and now it is wikipedia. but they will see that this is the wrong approach, andl see that this is the wrong approach, and i believe that it will be reversed. this latest purge comes just days after thousands of police officers were suspended or detained. many of them accused of having links to this man, exiled muslim cleric gulen. he is accused of inspiring the military coup, something he denies. president erdogan was granted new powers in a referendum earlier this month. he says it makes his country safer, but opponents say it has brought turkey closer to dictatorship. british boxer anthony joshua has beaten ukraine's wladimir klitschko in an epic world heavyweight title bout in london. the fight was stopped in the 11th round, in front of a crowd of 90,000 at wembley stadium. joshua's win added the wba title to his ibf belt, but only after he was knocked to the canvas by klitschko in the sixth round.

this is how the fight ended. commentator: big right hand from anthonyjoshua. klitschko in survival mode. he's back to the rope on the far side of the ring. massive right uppercut. big left hook. and klitschko is down, for the second time in the round, and the third time in the fight. he's been given the count once again. referee david field with a mandatory eight—count. and david field giving wladimir klitschko lots of time to recover by wiping the gloves clean. can anthonyjoshua put his man on the floor for the third time? here comes a big left hook. but misses. trying to close the distance now isjoshua. wladimir klitschko in desperate trouble. every time he tries to move backwards it looks as though he's going to fall over. joshua has got him backed into the corner. and anthonyjoshua peeling off. referee david field has stepped in, and anthonyjoshua has stopped his man in the 11th round of an epic slugfest here at wembley arena.

0ur sports correspondent 0lly foster was ringside at wembley. it was an absolutely extraordinary fight. anthonyjoshua, the ibf world champion, was taken to a very, very dark place tonight. he was dropped to the canvas for the first time in his career. his 19th fight. he had already put wladimir klitschko down, as well, in the fifth round. wladimir klitschko 14 years his senior, the former world champion of the heavyweight division, undefeated in a decade. he thought he could get back to the top. and my word, he so nearly did, the ukrainian. but there was unbelievable response from anthonyjoshua. this is the longest fight in his professional career. he then knocked out klitschko in the 11th round. all klitschko had to do was hang on to the end of the fight. he was ahead on points in this fight. butjoshua knocked him down three

times in the 11th round, and the referee had to intervene, and the fight was all over. so we have anthonyjoshua has held onto his ibf world title. he is now the wba champion, as well. he has unified half the heavyweight division. not undisputed yet, but that is going to be the next step, if he can. but anthonyjoshua has just gone into the stratosphere. he is the man they are all going to want to fight now. a fantastic night forjoshua, and british boxing, in front of a record number of fans. 0lly foster with that report on the big fight at wembley stadium. that as it from me and the team. you can get in touch on twitter. let me know about any of the stories we are covering here. now it is time for the weather. hello there, good morning. the first part of the bank holiday weekend was pretty quiet across most parts of the uk. next couple of days,

you'll probably see those temperatures rising a little bit, away from the east coast, where it will be on the cool side. there will be a bit of a breeze blowing in across all parts, and it wouldn't really be a bank holiday weekend forecast without at least some rain in the forecast. that's coming from this area of low pressure. just ahead of that, we've got these fairly tightly packed isobars. means it's really quite windy, but it is coming from the south, which is bringing in that slightly milder air. that low pressure system is also going to bring some rain to the far south—west first thing. with that southerly breeze, it's not particularly cold in most places. eight, nine, ten, or11 degrees. a breeze for all parts. bright and breezy start, but turning wet and windy to the south—west. blowing a gale down there. that gets to wales and spreads across the south coast. so, after that lovely, sunny saturday on the south coast, well, it's going to be a different sunday. 0nly ten or 11 degrees and windy underneath all that cloud and rain, which is not quite getting into the london area just yet, but it will do eventually. north of our rain, it is a pretty decent day, actually, in the midlands

and the north of england. always warmer away from the eastern coasts. 10 or 11 degrees in newcastle. as high as 15 or 16 in manchester. and some pretty decent temperatures in northern ireland. the western side of scotland will also do well. 16—17 degrees in the north—east. whereas it is only eight or nine along the north sea coast. premier league action, no real problems with the weather at manchester united or at everton. but in tottenham, we will see some cloud and rain developing through the match, and for the journey home, as well. but no problems for stage three of the tour de yorkshire. should be a decent day, but quite breezy. the rain will spread north, into north wales, the north midlands, maybe east anglia as well. just a few showers in northern england, but generally it is a north—south split, with the northern half of the uk largely fine and dry by dawn on bank holiday monday. and temperatures are holding up quite nicely. lowest temperatures will be in the western side of scotland, dipping to around about five or six degrees. bank holiday monday itself will a north—south split with most of the showers across his

own half of the uk. there will be some spells of sunshine here, as well. the northern half of uk does quite well. but again, the north sea coastal areas will see temperatures around ten or so degrees at best. they will be around 15 or 16 further west. on tuesday, again, it will be cool, cloudy, and grey, up and down that eastern coast. but move your way inland and further west, much more in the way of sunshine and better temperatures. dry the most part this week. the winds will be light for most places, and while it will be warm for many, it is always going to be cooler on the north sea coast. hello. this is bbc world news with the latest headlines: donald trump has marked his first 100 days as us president, attacking the media and defending his own record at a rally in pennsylvania. earlier, thousands of people across the us took part in protests against his policies on climate change. the eu leaders in brussels have unanimously agreed their approach to negotiations over britain's withdrawal. the eu council president called for a serious british response to proposals on reciprocal rights for citizens. the turkish government has taken
