about, this is how i found the e—mail about the meeting and once he gives his side of the story, then we can make an informed decision. donald trump has described the investigation is a witch—hunt. he is frustrated it is overshadowing his agenda but congress has vowed to go wherever the enquiry may lead them and on this occasion it is to the white house and the president in a circle. that the president's in a circle. let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news: at least ten people have been killed and several others injured in the afghan capital, kabul. an afghan government spokesman said a suicide attacker detonated a bomb in his car in a mainly shiite neighbourhood in the west of the city. there are no details about the target or who was behind the attack. there's been a shooting close to the israeli embassy in thejordanian capital, amman. it happened at a residential block used by embassy staff. twojordanian men were killed and two others injured, one of them an israeli.

israel has faced scrutiny after it implemented tougher security at a sensitive jerusalem holy site earlier this month. experts on hiv are joining forces with cancer specialists to look at how the latest developments in cancer research can help find a cure for the virus. researchers meeting at an hiv science conference in paris believe that virus similarities with cancer tumour cells, and how they multiply, could hold the key to ridding the body of hiv, rather than merely bringing it under control. a ninth person has died after what immigration officials in the us state of texas said was a people—smuggling operation gone wrong. about one hundred people are thought to have been locked in the back of a truck in the city of san antonio in sweltering heat without water or air conditioning. the alarm was raised after one of the occupants managed to break out of the vehicle. bill hayton reports. it is still not clear exactly how many people were packed into this

trap when it arrived in san antonio. some fled the scene, only those too ill to move remained. several survivors are seriously ill in hospital. and now, their welfare is more important than the fact they crossed the border illegally. how focus is to deliver compassionate care. we are at first responders, immediately delivering first aid, transporting sometimes by air, critical condition patients to local hospitals to prevent even more loss of life. it is now obvious that this was an organised large—scale operations. nearby security cameras showed other vehicles waiting for the truck. local reporter says those on—board were probably been taken to work on low—paid jobs. on—board were probably been taken to work on low-paid jobs. younger males trying to... generally go in for

trade is currently worth nearly $220 billion. but this could increase by as much as $52 billion if trade barriers between the countries are removed. at present, the process cannot begin in earnest because the uk is not permitted to hold formal trade talks with non—eu countries until it has left the european customs union. to complicate matters, the uk's trade secretary has welcomed a transition agreement which could potentially last up until the next scheduled general election in 2022. although this would prevent the uk dropping off a cliff—edge in 2019, it is currently unclear whether the uk would be able to start negotiating with non—eu trading partners while the transition deal is active. the imf has kept its growth forecast

of al—nuri proclaiming the creation of al—nuri proclaiming the creation ofa of al—nuri proclaiming the creation of a caliphate. more than two years later, iraqi pro—government forces back by us coalition launched an offensive to retake the city. by november, specialforces offensive to retake the city. by november, special forces enter eastern mosul and missed fierce resistance. life in the city has changed dramatically. civilians are suffering because of water and electricity shortages. museums and mosques destroyed and the dedication to the outside world is destroyed. brutal punishment by anyone contravening the jihadist interpretation of islamic law. in january this year, the government declares eastern mosul has been liberated and an assault begins the

next month but it presents a more difficult challenge militants taken advantage of densely packed housing and narrow alleyways to target advancing troops with snipers and suicide bombs. 0n the 10th ofjuly, more than three years after the wall of mosul, iraq ‘s prime minister formally declares victory over is in the victory. the battle has left large areas in ruins, killed tens of thousands of civilians and displaced more than 920,000 people. seventeen journalists and executives from turkey's secular opposition daily cumhuriyet go on trial today. the defendants face charges of aiding a terrorist organisation, and could be sentenced to up to 43 years in prison. a dozen of them have already spent up to nine months in pre—trial detention. from istanbul selin girit reports. journalists giving a press statement

contradicts that figure. speaking to the bbc earlier this month, the president said there were only two jailed journalists in the country. turkey has marked the first anniversary of the coup attempt ten days ago. the failing of the plot was hailed as a triumph of democracy but the critics that day was actually the beginning of a massive crackdown, with over 50,000 people arrested since then. this is the biggest courthouse in turkey and journalists come here very often, either because they are on trial themselves, because they gather in solidarity to support their jailed colleagues. the previous avatar in chief of cumhuriyet is one of those facing trial this week. he had been jailed for three months last year accused of espionage. he was released on bail and now lives in a soui’ released on bail and now lives in a sourin released on bail and now lives in a sour in germany. cumhuriyet, my

paper is one of the last bastions of free media and we have been struggling against this aggression with our news and our paper altogether, and now it is our turn to face this kind of allegations and if we lose these last case, there will be no more free press in turkey. journalists all over the world will be watching this trial closely. many think the outcome of this case could be indicative of the rout turkey is willing to take in the future. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: prince william talks about keeping the memory of his mother alive through his children — as the royal family prepares to mark 20 years since diana's death. mission control: you can see them

if only it were that simple. jordan spieth's 3—shot lead had already evaporated by the time he had reached the 13th. that's his ball in the shrubbery. miraculously, he walked off with a bogey and took the lead. birkdale was witnessing another spieth major meltdown. as arnold palmer said, though, success depends less on strength of body, more on strength of mind. where many minds might have been muddled, spieth's unscrambled. to open winning display. his tee shot on the next hole nearly went in. his putt after never looked like missing. birdie, eagle, birdie, birdie, and no catching him now. ifelt like, once i lost my lead completely and we were tied, —— spieth turns 24 on thursday with a third major title. the only other man to do that — a certain jack nicklaus, and he won 18. britain's chris froome won the tour de france for the fourth time the final stage is traditionally a procession for the race leader.

team sky's froome is now second in the all—time list of winners after completing his third successive victory. rigoberto uran was second, 54 seconds behind, with romain bardet third. incredible feeling to ride on to the champs—elysees. even after having done it three times previously, it doesn't diminish it at all. still all the same emotions are here. it is just incredible, absolutely incredible. england have won a dramatic final at lord's in the women's cricket world cup, beating india by just nine runs. anya shrubsole was the england hero, sparking an indian collapse with six wickets, including the match—winning moment. india seemed to be cruising towards a first world cup win before they lost their final seven wickets forjust 28 runs to spark those english celebrations as they won the title for the first time since 2009. pure appellation, i think. i think

it is better when you are out there in the field because you have your teammates around you and this world cup really has been a team effort, people have chipped in along the way we have fought our way through some games that haven't necessarily on at times but on a cricket is all about winning, not necessarily about how you win but getting over the line. indian team was playing this after two long years have seen a lot of changes in the side, we have young players in the side so it is an experience for them but yeah, i think it was a good game, very happy that the girls have put up a fight and notjust that the girls have put up a fight and not just gave that the girls have put up a fight and notjust gave it, you know, easily to the england side. at every point, they have given their best. england made a huge step towards the quarterfinals of the women's european football championship with a 2—0 win over spain. scotland's prospects look bleak after they lost to portugal. if england avoid defeat in theirfinal group game, they will top the group. as they approach the 20th

climbing, and rolling skills. they had only axes and saws to help, and there wasn't a checked shirt in sight. the bbc‘s tim allman reports. apparently, when it comes to cutting down trees, balance is absolutely essential. announcer: three, two, one, go! for nearly 60 years, competitors from north america and beyond have come to take part in the lumberjack championships. this year, more than 100 of them made the trip to wisconsin, some to climb the tallest of trees, then to come right back down again. as we have already seen, there is competitive log rolling, but there is boom running, as well. two lumberjacks sprint across a series of logs. again, balance is vital. first one there and back is the winner. modern lumberjacking is an equal opportunity event — this competitor winning a chainsaw as her prize.

that was an up—and—down weekend. many of us saw rain at some stage of the weekend. for some of us, it came from big clouds, threatening skies, and some intense downpours, but i think most of us saw some sunshine at some stage of the weekend, as well. in the sunshine, it wasn't too bad. but it is still up and down as we go through this week. that means a week of changeable weather on the way. but going to try to turn things drier and warmer in the next couple of days. not going to last, mind you. unsettled from wednesday. we'll all see some rain on wednesday, and the wind will be picking up, as well, during the second half of the week. now, the area of low pressure that produced the downpours over the weekend still close by for monday, affecting parts of central and eastern england. then we've got a bit of a gap, and we're looking to developments in the atlantic to bring more of that unsettled weather from midweek. but from monday, cloudy, with outbreaks of rain affecting some central and eastern parts of the uk as we go through the day, from that area of low pressure, and a cool breeze, as well. whereas the western side of the uk —

going to be a lovely day across south—west england, wales, some long, sunny spells to be found here. but, through much of the midlands, south—east england, east anglia, up through yorkshire into north—east england, plenty of cloud around. the further east you are, into east anglia and the far south—east, a few sunny spells among the clouds. parts of yorkshire, to begin the day some outbreaks of rain. north—east england, though, bearing up quite well. northern ireland, a few fog patches around to begin the day. plenty of sunshine in western scotland. rather cloudy, and low cloud at that, into the far north—east of scotland, northern isles, hanging around during the day. and it is an east—west split for monday's weather. if you're underneath this cloud, it will feel quite cool, though it may brighten up and see the odd sharp shower in parts of east anglia and the far south—east of england. but for wales, for western england, for northern ireland, and for northern scotland, where in in some sunshine it will be very pleasant. 24—25 celsius in glasgow, though a late—day shower somewhere in western scotland can't be ruled out. as we go through monday evening, still some of those outbreaks of rain in the east of england, gradually beginning to pull away

as we say goodbye to that area of low pressure. still some cloud around, though, from it, as we begin the day on tuesday. should start to break up, then we'll see some warm, sunny spells coming through again, and a gap between weather systems on tuesday. so take advantage of that, and enjoy the warmth in that sunshine, though it is still on the cool side for some along north sea coasts, with an onshore breeze. but here is that wetter and windier weather system coming in for wednesday. well, it is the summer holidays. doesn't look like that, though, on the chart here, and there will be rain spreading right across the uk, strengthening wind to near—gale in the north—west. and then for thursday and friday, we're into some cool and fresh air, with sunny spells and showers. this is bbc world news, the headlines. donald trump's son—in—law and adviser, jared kushner, will face questions from senators later as part of the investigation into whether or not russia colluded with the trump campaign to help him win the presidential election. police in the us state of texas have arrested a truck driver whose vehicle was found in a walmart car park with eight people dead
