city offers anything for tourists? good morning and welcome to bbc news. president trump has described his new chief—of—staff, john kelly, as a true star of his administration after reince priebus stood down from the post. mr trump said mr kelly, a retired military general, had done a spectacularjob as the head of homeland security, where he introduced a tougher immigration policy. the resignation of mr priebus came after he was criticised by the president's new communications director anthony scaramucci, who accused him of leaking to the press. here's our north america correspondent peter bowes. another tweet, another resignation, another day in the trump presidency. reince priebus is the latest senior figure in the white house to leave his job prematurely. the shortest serving chief—of—staff in history.

he is being replaced by a retired four—star general. john kelly is currently in charge of the department of homeland security. donald trump revealed that reince priebus had been replaced at the end of a tumultuous week in washington. earlier, the two men travelled together to an event in long island, where mr trump lavished praise onjohn kelly. one of our real stars. truly one of our stars. the president was heading back to the white house that he tweeted news of general kelly's newjob. he spoke briefly to reporters. reince is a good man. john kelly will do a fantasticjob. general kelly has been a star. done an incredible job thus far. respected by everybody. a great, great american. reince priebus — a good man. there was a time when they seemed so close. ever since the election, the right—hand man, reince priebus, rarely far from the president's side. but he tendered his resignation on thursday, following what he said was several days of discussions. the president wanted to go

in a different direction. i support him in that. the president has a right to hit a reset button. i think it's a good time to hit the reset button. i think he was right to hit the reset button and i think that it was something that i think the white house needs. i think it's healthy and i support him in it. asked about an interview in which he was described by the new white house communications chief, anthony scaramucci, as "a paranoid schizophrenic," mr priebus said "he didn't want to get into the mud." next week, a new start at the white house with a general in charge. in a moment we'll be hearing from a us politics specialist about these latest developments, but first let's get a bit more generaljohn f kelly. as a four—star general,

he holds the highest possible rank in the us military. during a career spanning four decades he served as a commanding general in iraq. his son robert died in action when he stepped on a landmine in afghanistan in 2010. it made general kelly the highest ranking officer to lose a child in the afghan and iraq wars. president trump appointed him the secretary of homeland security injanuary, where he was responsible for borders, immigration and cyber security. he's said in the past that a border wall between the us and mexico is essential because of threats coming in the united states. i'm joined now via webcam by drjames boyes, an expert in us politics at richmond university. another fascinating week at the white house, but just another fascinating week at the white house, butjust going through mr kelly's cv, he supports trump and is admired by trump and is close to trump and when you look at the goings on at the house, it seems where we're sitting, this is a

president surrounding himself with the people he wants in the white house? yes, that's very true and what you are seeing has been a steady exorcism of the gop leadership that had come in effectively that helped donald trump become president. so reince priebus who has just left and sean become president. so reince priebus who hasjust left and sean spicer who hasjust left and sean spicer who left last week, these were senior individuals within the republican party that needed to get the presidency, but having secured the presidency, but having secured the white house, he has eased them out and he's getting his own people in and if you notice, this is now the third general that donald trump has either brought in or tried to bring in. so don't forget we had general flynn for example, the short—lived national security advisor, general mat tis and now another general running the white house effectively. so that's a very, very interesting development, i

think. is it a house in chaos of people quitting or is it a strategy by donald trump to surround himself with people he trusts or, or get the job he wants done and distance himself from the republican establishment? i think it's a little of both. the chaotic nature in which it is being done is very problematic. gentlemened bush suggested that donald trump was a chaos candidate and he would be a chaos candidate and he would be a chaos president. unfortunately, that prophecy seems to be coming true. your report before you introduced me talked about the interview that the new white house communications director did nor the new yorker, and you quoted one of the few quotes that you can use on air for example with regard to mr scaramucci's reference towards reince priebus. so this idea that there is no love lost amongst some of the high—level officials in the white house is very problematic and the new chief—of—staff, which is a re, very

important position within the white house, is going to have to install discipline very quickly. so perhaps who better than a four—star general? a rocky road ahead still for mr trump even with the team he wants in place. he has to get the budget through after august and the russian investigation hanging over him and problems of north korea as well. he's not out of the woods, is he? not at all and to be fair, a lot of donald trump's problems are of his own making. this is someone who, as an american president has the full support of the majority in both houses of congress. so, you know, one would imagine that it should be relatively easy going for him. now, that's not been the case. he's not made life any easier for himself by distancing himself and alienating himself from the republican party base that he needs to get anything done and with his continuing tweets that continue to aggravate the

situation, in many ways the greatest risk to donald trump's presidency is donald trump and it would be interesting to see if general kelly can get him to be more disciplined as we move forward. thank you for that. violence has broken out in east london during protests about the death of a man shortly after he was restrained by police a week ago. the independent police complaints commission is investigating the death of 20—year—old rashan charles. last night, bottles and fireworks were thrown at officers in the dalston area of hackney. danjohnson was at the scene of last night's trouble. a tense night in part of east london. a fleet of police riot vans faces a burning barricade. fireworks and bottles being thrown. hundreds of officers were sent to force people back. move away, the dogs are coming out. after a peaceful protest earlier in the day ended in violence. well, it's just after

midnight and things have started to calm down. a lot of people have moved away and left. but there are still quite a lot of police officers here in heavy riot gear. this was sparked by the death of rashan charles. the 20—year—old was chased into a shop by police. officers say he tried to swallow something. there was a struggle and he became ill. just over an hour later, rashan charles was declared dead. he's the third young man to lose his life after being stopped by police in london injust over a month. they're angry and they're confused as they are not represented in life itself. they have to sell drugs. they have to carry knives because they're living in fear. they have to spirituality. they have to sell drugs? yeah. why? they're forced into situations where they don't understand how to life, how to make money and how to work for what they want because they don't want to work for the system. it was concern and anger at the system that last night spilled out onto the streets.

police say whatever the frustrations, this is not what the family of rashan charles wanted. danjohnson gave us this update. there has been a big clean up operation under taken by the council already. so there is very little sign of what happened last night. but what there is here is a sign of what happened last week. that there is the shop where rashan charles was wrestled to the ground by police. that's where he was in that confrontation and it was shortly after that that he lost his life and that's where that shrine has built up with flowers and candles, tributes left there and just over here, is thejunction here in dalston in hackney in east london where the focus of last night's demonstration ended up. this is where the flash point really was where it turned violent.

some of the demonstrators pushed bins into the road and set fire to them. a mattress was set alight too. this is where riot officers were confronted by people throwing bottles at them, setting off fireworks too. later today there will be a further protest outside the local police station. rashan charles' father will be leading that that demonstration, but the family have appealed for things to stay calm and for people to be peaceful. they are working with the independent police complaints commission that is investigating the circumstances around this death, but it is clear it caused concern and unease in this community. people are very sensitive about the way that the police deals with young men in this part of london. pope francis has led tributes to charlie gard, the ii—month—old boy who died yesterday, following a lengthy legal battle over what medical treatment he received. charlie's parents, connie yates and chris gard, wanted their son to be taken to the united states to be treated for a rare genetic condition which causes progressive brain damage and muscle weakness. they eventually dropped their legal challenge against great 0rmond street —

the hospital looking after charlie — when specialist offering to treat charlie in the us, said it was too late for the treatment to work. pope francis, who followed charlie's story closely, tweeted that he entrusts little charlie to the father and will pray for his parents and all those who loved him. here, the prime minister theresa may said she was deeply saddened by the death of charlie gard. and that her thoughts and prayers are with his parents. and the us vice—president mike pence also tweeted, saying he's saddened to hear of the passing of charlie gard. and that he and his wife karen offer our prayers and condolences to his loving parents during this difficult time. president trump had offered support to charlie and his family during the legal dispute. the north korean leader kimjong—un claims any target on the us mainland is now within striking range.

it following his military‘s latest intercontinental missile test, the second test within a month. as with previous launches, the event was celebrated by north korean state media. from seoul, here's our correspondent karen allen. what more do we know about the missile test? is it any different to the last one which caused so much tension in the region? well, it seems to have gone further and it seems to have gone further and it seems to have been more potent and enough as you say for kim jong—un to say that it's within reach of the whole of the united states. now, that certainly was an exaggeration as far as experts inside the us are concerned sh but nevertheless there is the potential, their computer models suggests, of it at least reaching los angeles. that's why we have seen the strikes today, live

fire exercises with precision guided missile being fired by us and south korean missile being fired by us and south korea n forces missile being fired by us and south korean forces into the ocean surrounding the peninsula, really designed to send a message that the relationship between the us and south korea is as strong as ever. iron—clad is how one general described it. behind closed doors it is concern at the pace and the speed with which north korea seems to be able to develop its missile technology. some experts suggesting that really it could be as little as a year before it is able to make one of those weapons effectively nuclearised. karen, if diplomacy isn't going to work and military response makes the region and indeed the wider world more nervous, why don't they shoot the missiles out of the sky? i think the difficulty is

that north korea is an unprickable situation. that it is an island that has large amounts of artillery that are pointing directly here where i'm speaking to you from, south korea, we are only 30 kilometres from the border. it is so significant, china, russia, also has been interest. what pyongyang really russia, also has been interest. what pyongya ng really wa nts russia, also has been interest. what pyongyang really wants to do is not see the american troops stationed here in south korea and it wants to be recognised as a nuclear power. really, it's not interested in getting the attention of south korea which is saying let's try and talk. let's try and restart military talks that get the basically stalled two yea rs that get the basically stalled two years ago. what it really wants to do is have president donald trump recognise north korea as a nuclear power and there is little indication that the us will concede to that. karen allen in seoul for us. the headlines on bbc news:

friday, there's a special programme, on the bbc‘s brendan foster this lunchtime. it's nearly a0 years since brendan started working for the bbc after his own athletics career and he's hanging up his mic after the world championships. that's brendan foster, my life in athletics at 1.15pm. that's all sport for now. you can keep up to date with all those stories on the bbc sport website. nearly a quarter of shops are breaking the law, by selling knives to underage people, some as young as 13—years—old. that's according to new figures from the local government association which says some retailers, including two supermarket chains, have been caught out. adina campbell has more. with knife crime at its highest level in six years in england and wales, retailers are under increasing pressure to do more to tackle the problem. local trading standards teams tried

to buy knives earlier this year. almost one in four shops they visited were found to be selling knives to people underage. seven out of 29 retailers, including two major supermarkets, in areas like devon, somerset and bristol, sold a blade to a person under 18. they included a machete, a lock knife and kitchen knives. last year, similar test purchases were carried out by london trading standards, with eight knives a month being sold to children as young as 13. safety campaigners are now calling for tougher rules. these rules should be applied. if retailers continue to do this, they should be put out of business. it's illegal to sell knives to anyone under the age of 18, but in scotland 16 to 18—year—olds can buy a kitchen knife or cutlery.

shops caught breaking the law face six months in prison or a fine of up to £5,000. the local government association says more needs to be done to stop lives being put at risk, and shops need to put up higher safety checks. well we're now joined by councillor peter flemming from the local government association, that's the organisation that wrote the report. this is quite shocking especially as knife crime is on the way up, after going down over recent years and a lot of young lives have been lost. there is clearly some tough penalties of a fine and prison sentence. do you think there needs to bea sentence. do you think there needs to be a review? look, in the year when we have seen a 20% increase in knife crime, up to nearly 35,000 incidents, and in the week where government has said knives will no longer be able to be posted to your

house, they are saying the next part of this puzzle, of how we can try and do something about this, is to make sure that retailers, who are obeying the law that's already in place and you know one in four retailers selling in test purchases to people as young as 13 years old, things such as machetes, there is no excuse for that. no. who is actually responsible. is it the shop owner? the chain or the person that's sold the knifes? the retailer is responsible as with all things that we do through council trading standards. the individual maybe prosecuted, but we're often looking at prosecuting the shop itself. this isn't just small at prosecuting the shop itself. this isn'tjust small independents. two of these test purchases were in big chain stores. they should have procedures in place to make sure that they are challenging anybody who looks under 18 when selling any

sort of knife. and what about the individual that buys the knife sn do you think there needs to be a tougher message, perhaps a tougher penalty for carrying what could be used as a deadly weapon? the government has done a lot of work on this and the sentencing has been changed. what we are trying to do is try and stop the supply of knives so that the streets are safer. you know, 35,000 incidents to do with knives. now, some of those would have come from shops who have sold to under—18s. it is quite clear when we are seeing one infour is quite clear when we are seeing one in four test purchases being sold to under 18—year—olds sings such as machetes and lock knives. no responsible shop owner or retailer would ever do something like that. peter, thank you. peter, thank you. peter fleming from the local government association. more than 50 mps have backed calls

so, why did they do it? well, it's the closest the show can get to reflect the nhs front—line in its unedited rawest form. you take it easy. you have been through the wars yourself. has anyone said anything about the baby? it took two weeks of rehearsals for the cast and crew, and eight full—length takes were filmed and it is the last one of those which will make it to air tonight. casualty is on bbc one at 9.05pm tonight. we're all told to save for our retirement. but more than a quarter of pensioners who are on their own, rely on just what the state provides. numbers are at a 22 year high and there are worries it will keep on rising, as paul lewis, the presenter of radio 4's moneybox programme, has been finding out. i started work at 16, done lots of differentjobs, and i eventually retired at 63. 67—year—old jean storey is one of more than a million single

pensioners in the uk who are completely dependent on the state. jean lives on £170 a week. when i was married, my husband paid into a private pension, and as we progressed through the years, and our income got better, he put more and more money into the pension, so i always thought that when we both retired, there would be a good pension, so i never bothered. jean divorced in her mid 40s. with two young children, she just couldn't afford to start saving into a pension. that's left her facing a very different retirement to the one she planned. it's difficult. it is difficult, but ijust have to manage my money. and it sounds ridiculous, but i know where every pound is going to be spent, i really do. you know, so every week, i budget what i've got. so what would you say to young

people watching this now about the importance of saving for a pension while they're at work? i would say it's very important. if i'd known then what i know now, because i do know one of my friends, this is the one that's going on a cruise, she did that all through her working life, and even though she and her husband split up and she is on her own, she actually had the foresight to see that. so she has got this extra money that she can do things with. so it does make a really big difference when you get older. even ifjean had started to save, it's unlikely — in her 40s — that she would have put enough in. tom mcphail is head of retirement at hargreaves la nsdown. living on the state pension alone is manageable, but it's not something you'd choose to do if you can avoid it. what's worrying is that there

are millions of people who still aren't saving for a pension, either because they weren't caught in their employer's auto—enrolment scheme or because they're simply self—employed, so it doesn't apply to them. to put this into context, if you wanted to double your state pension, if you wanted to get another £8,300 a year by saving in a private pension, for someone in their mid 20s today, that would cost around £300 a month you'd have to save all the way through until your mid 60s. for young people worried about student debt and owning their own home, being told to save that amount of money for a0 years to retire on what is just over the national living wage might seem hard to swallow, but it's a messagejean storey hopes people will listen to. the travel show is coming up. now the weather. sarah keith lucas has the weather. sarah keith lucas has the details for you.

hell changeable weather continues this weekend, not raining everywhere, there will be some decent and long spells of sunshine, but equally showers around too, and more persistent rain during today in the south. a weather front in the channel means rain here, blustery and heavy showers. and and northern ireland, the odd rumble of thunder, temperatures around 18—22d. into this evening, outbreaks of rain in the south, pushing further north across much
