slightly reword that to say that i think any prime minister taking a country into war needs to be as straight with the nation and carry it as far as possible with him or her. i don't believe that was the case in the iraq instance. you think he gave the fullest version of events ? he gave the fullest version of events? i think he gave, from his perspective and standpoint, emotionally truthful. and i think that came out in his press conference after the launch statement. i think it was under really great emotional pressure during those sessions. far more than the committee were. and he was suffering. he was deeply engaged. in that state of mind and mood, you fall back on your instinctive

reactions. you are saying that he was relying on emotions, not fact? boat. —— both. sirjohn chilcot there. 6overnment supporters in venezuela, some of them armed, have been blocking legislators from leaving the national congress in caracas. during a special session to mark the country's independence day, they burst into the building's interior gardens and attacked several members of congress with sticks. will 6rant reports. this is the venezuelan parliament on independence day. another step on the country's descent into near anarchy as militias carrying sticks and metal bars stormed the national at least four lawmakers were injured including the opposition deputy, left bleeding from a head wound. the opposition—led assembly has been under attack politically from the government of president nicolas maduro for months but now it has spilt over into violence.

i will never be complicit in any act of violence. i condemn them and i will have all the investigations and justice done. i want peace for venezuela. nevertheless, violence has characterised venezuela over the past few months. more than 80 people have been killed in street protests, the majority of them demonstrators. there are few signs of them slowing down. it comes as the executive, backed by loyalist supreme court prepares to create a new national assembly, removing the remaining powers of the existing one. an election on the issue is expected within weeks, but will be boycotted by the opposition and, most likely, millions of ordinary venezuelans. the 206th anniversary of its independence should have been an excuse for venezuelans to celebrate

among the big winners, the car industry. the eu will scrap a 10% duty on japanese car imports, while japan will remove barriers to entry for european automakers. the deal‘s also very symbolic. partly because of brexit, european leaders want to reinforce the value of the eu after the uk's decision to leave. but also because of president trump. remember, he pulled the us out of the trans—pacific partnership, a major trade deal between the us, japan and their pacific neighbours. and talks have lapsed on the vast eu—us trade deal known as ttip. more in world business report to brazil now, and one of the biggest corporate scandals of the year. the country accounts for almost a fifth of the world's meat exports. but in march, local police uncovered a bribery scheme where health officials allegedly allowed tainted meat to reach

tony blair was not straight with the nation and the inquiry about his decisions in the run up to the iraq war. more than 300 years since it was sunk in battle in the caribbean sea, a spanish 6alleon with treaure estimated to be worth $1 billion could seen be salvaged off colombia's coast. the sanjose was loaded with jewels and coins for the spanish king before it was sunk in 1708 by a british warship. 6reg dawson reports. it's being called the holy 6rail of shipwrecks. somewhere at the bottom of the caribbean sea are the remains of the san jose. at the time it was sunk it carried one of the world's largest maritime treasures. its cargo of gold, silver, gems and jewellery now thought to be worth at least $1 billion. cargo that will soon be salvaged, according to columbia's president. translation: the history,

cultural heritage that's on our territory belongs to columbians and is not an object of commerce. colombians can rest assured that we are going to care for and preserve this heritage site because it's so representative not only to colombia but also to humanity. the president says he's received a proposalfrom an unnamed investor to bring it to the surface, but would also welcome other offers of financial help. injune, 1708, the sanjose set sail from panama before it was sunk in battle off the coast of cartagena. it was carrying treasure for the spanish king to help finance his royal succession. it was struck by a british warship. more than 300 years later, the wreckage was finally located. so far, the hidden treasures have only been viewed via sonar images, but the ambition is for people to one day see them in person, with colombia promising a dedicated museum to preserve the artefacts.

serve and volley and he challenges his opponents in ways we're not expecting but andy murray was equal to it today as he came through safely into the third round. also true is rafa nadal who came through in his match against american donald young, two left—handers going at it on centre court but rafa nadal a slow starter when he makes the transition from the clay of roland 6arros to the grass of wimbledon but looking good so far, dustin brown beat him in the second round two yea rs beat him in the second round two years ago. no doubt about it, though, the match of the day, johanna konta, the home favourite was up against donna vice prime minister for was up against donna vice prime ministerfor european was up against donna vice prime minister for european —— was up against donna vice prime ministerfor european —— donna vekic and a real marathon, on court for three hours, ten eight in the decisive third set and that means konta goes on to play a greek player in the third round. —— 10—8. no british woman has won wimbledon since virginia wade in 1977. the three times tour de france champion chris froome has grabbed the yellow jersey after the first mountain stage of this years race.

for its sexual culture. whatever your taste or fantasy it's catered for somewhere here. this is the country that invented love hotels, so what on earth has happened to japan's youth? anna matsui is part of a growing army of young japanese living sexless lives. over 40% claim they are virgins. even more, over 60%, say they're not in a relationship. do you feel like a lot of your friends are like you, not in sexual relationships? are you surprised by this? these women are clearly a little different. just, like, you know, you can feel... rokude nashiko is famous for making a 3—d image of her own vagina

always good to hear from you. you're watching bbc news. hello again. temperatures hit the 30 degree mark at london's heathrow airport and at wisley in surrey on wednesday. more of that hot weather to come today. temperatures again pestering the 30 degree mark, however, for some there will be some fairly lively thundery downpours over the next 24 hours. now, the first place that could see some storms is towards southern england. a batch of storms could move across the near channel but there's about two miles of dry air beneath the storm clouds so there might not be a huge amount of rain falling despite the thunder and lightning first thing. could be some murky weather around the coastline, but essentially plenty of sunshine across wales, the midlands and across much of northern england to start the day. northern ireland partly cloudy but again some brighter moments. in scotland we'll have a rather disappointing start to the day, rather cloudy with a band of rain slowly pushing its way eastwards. temperatures in glasgow around 8am or9am, 14.

through the rest of the day that first batch of storms travels north, perhaps into parts of east anglia, but later on we could see some further more significant storms breaking out across parts of the midlands and northern england as well. temperature wise, nothing to write home about across scotland and northern ireland but a little warmer than it's been over the last few days. the hot and humid air with us in england and wales, temperatures probably peaking over 30 again. late afternoon and evening, these storms over eastern england could get very lively, there could be one or two storms that are capable of bringing the best part of a months worth of rain in the space ofjust a few hours. hopefully those scenes won't be too widespread but there's the potential of getting a bit of disruption in one or two communities. 0n through thursday night, a band of rain pushes across scotland and we'll be left with rather soupy conditions in england and wales, lows of 18 in london. on friday, a quieter day, plenty of sunshine in england

and wales again, feeling hot and humid, pushing towards 30 again. a few showers or northern england and southern scotland but brighter conditions in scotland. still not the warmest, though, highs of 17 in both belfast and glasgow, hot air still with us in parts of south—east england. things changing on the weekend, a general trend for unsettled weather and cooler through sunday and into monday as well. that's your latest weather. this is bbc world news. i'm david eades with the headlines. the us warns north korea it is prepared to use military action after its new missle test. president trump is in europe to discuss what happens next at the 620 summit of world leaders. the 620 leaders will also have to address the divisions emerging at the united nations over the best way to respond. both china and russia have ruled out any military action. the chairman of the iraq inquiry sir john chilcot has told the bbc tony blair was not straight with the nation and the inquiry about his decisions in the run—up to the iraq war. heavy rain and overflowing rivers in the southern japan have forced almost 400,000 people to leave their homes.
