shot as 007. daniel craig confirms he will be back as james bond. to get in touch, the hashtag is bbc 0s. welcome to outside source. if you we re welcome to outside source. if you were watching this time last night you would have seen donald trump deliver one of the most remarkable presidential news conferences in history. in an extremely robust exchange with journalists, mr trump said the white nationalists at the centre of the rally in cha rlottesville centre of the rally in charlottesville at the weekend were only partly to blame for the ensuing and deadly violence. there has been some fierce criticism from politicians and business leaders. more on that fallout in a moment. first, let's recap for use of mr trump's key points. not putting

anybody on a moral plane. what i'm saying is this, you had a group on one side and a grip on the other, and they came at each other with clu bs. and they came at each other with clubs. it was vicious and horrible, and a horrible thing to watch. but there is another side. there was a group on this site, you can call them the left, you have just called them the left, you have just called them the left, that came violently attacking the other group. so you can say what you want, but that's the way it is. what about the alt—left, and they came charging at, as you say, the alt—right? do they have any semblance of guilt? let me ask you this, what about the fact they came charging with clubs in their hands, swinging clubs. do they have any problem? i think they do. i had condemned neo—nazis. i have condemned many different groups. but not all those people were neo—nazis, believe me. not all those people we re believe me. not all those people were white supremacists by any stretch. those people were also

there because they wanted to protest there because they wanted to protest the taking down of the statue, robert ely. in the last few hours the pressure coming from the american business community became too much. -- robert e lee. this follows a number of chief executives announcing they were leaving the councils because of donald trump's response to the violence in charlottesville. we can go to washington now and speak to anthony... i don't know if we have him... let's see if we can get to him... let's see if we can get to him again. i do want to talk to you about this business move and the loss of these councils. symbolically it's quite a big hit for the president. yes, it's definitely is a big hit for the president. it's

remarkable how quickly the dynamic changes. just several days ago, ken fraser, the ceo of a company was the first to leave the council. there was a chilling effect if other ceos wa nted was a chilling effect if other ceos wanted to stick their neck out and risk the fury of donald trump. but given trump's behaviour in the last few days and his comments in the press co nfe re nce few days and his comments in the press conference yesterday, i think it crystallised the sentiments of the business community that they we re the business community that they were better off leaving the president's side rather than stick it out. they decided it was a safer move to make and that would happen very quickly. i want to talk to you about political reaction in a moment from the president's on republican party. a tweet from the new york times, a well—known white house correspondent, saying there is a real dearth of republicans on

television this morning defending trump. many saw this as direct criticism from mr trump's predecessors, george hw bush and his son george w bush, issued a joint statement that all americans must reject racial bigotry, anti—semitism and hatred in all forms. we also had and hatred in all forms. we also had a quote from marco rubio, a senator who challenged donald trump for the presidency. you can't allow white supremacists to share only part of the blame. they support an idea which costs the nation and the world so much pain. and one of those supporting donald trump was in fact the former kkk leader, david duke, who thanked him for his courage to tell the truth about charlottesville, condemning what he calls the leftist terrorism in a

black lives matter and the antifascist movement. a flavour of the reaction flying around in the states at the moment. we can put it into context. we were talking earlier about the fact that many republicans condemned the sentiments but not many addressed the man. republicans condemned the sentiments but not many addressed the manlj think there is only one count that i have seen. 0nly think there is only one count that i have seen. only about 16 republican members of congress out of 290 or so who explicitly criticised donald trump's behaviour during the press conference yesterday, explicitly singled out donald trump as using the wrong language. we have heard a lot more, like what paul ryan said and the bush presidents said, condemning white supremacy and white nationalism, saying there is no place for that in the country. they we re place for that in the country. they were not talking about donald trump in particular and i think republicans are being put in a difficult bind, in part because a

lot of them praised donald trump on monday for making comments that they thought were much more sharply worded in condemning nazis and white supremacists. they felt they were going to be able to turn a page and the problems they had on saturday dealing with technical remarks about white supremacists at the rally. that had been changed and they would now go back to focus on their priorities of politics in washington. and donald trump's press conference yesterday rendered that inoperative and pulled out of the i’ug inoperative and pulled out of the rug from underneath them. they left scrambling. are we getting any news from inside the white house about how his senior advisers feel about this? he has gone from initial under reaction to this, to a very serious statement about how everyone has to come together, to that really angry news conference. he has gone back and forth and back again. exactly. john kelly, the new chief of staff,

was supposed to bring discipline to the white house. he took office about two weeks ago. he was going to control access to the president and make sure everybody stayed on message. that era lasted roughly two weeks and we are now talking about discord and mixed messages within the white house once again. there is an interesting video clip of kelly during donald trump's remarks yesterday, looking at the ground, scowling and shaking his head a bit. you could feel he was growing increasingly distraught about the way the press conference was going. senior economic adviser gary coen, in the trump white house, he a p pa re ntly in the trump white house, he apparently told sources and friends who relate to the new york times that he was disgusted by donald trump's remarks. but all this is happening behind the scenes, anonymously, as is often the case with this white house. i think they are scrambling again because what donald trump said, but none of them going on the record. nobody has resigned yet and they are trying to

hold down the fort. in the midst of all this, we want to remember that one person was killed in the violence at charlottesville. she was heather heyer, a civil rights advocate and lawyer who died after a car was driven into her and a group of opposition protesters on saturday. today a vigil was held for heather heyer with hundreds of people gathering. family, friends, or the mourners. many of the speakers who took to the stage touched on the topic of diversity. and what she cared about. her mother and father were among those who spoke. here is a bit of what they said. she loved people. she wanted equality. and in this issue of the day of her passing, she wanted to put down hate. and for my part, we

just need to stop all this stuff and forgive each other. remember in your heart, if you are not outraged, you are not paying attention. i want you to pay attention, find what's wrong. don't ignore it, don't look the other way. make a point to look at it and say to yourself, what can i do to make a difference? that's how you're going to make my child's death worthwhile. i would rather have my child, but if i have to give herup, we are have my child, but if i have to give her up, we are going to it count. applause the uk government has today released another paper detailing how it sees trade working after brexit happens. you can find the paper online if you wa nt you can find the paper online if you want all the detail, to sum it up, the focus is now on the irish border. the republic of ireland is an eu member. northern ireland is pa rt an eu member. northern ireland is part of the uk, so soon will not be pa rt part of the uk, so soon will not be part of the uk, so soon will not be part of the uk, so soon will not be part of the eu. so this will be the only land border between the eu and

the uk. there are around 300 public road crossings on this border. in the paper the uk government says it does not want any new physical infrastructure on them. when i asked our reality check correspondent chris morris how this would work in terms of trade. in an ideal world the british government doesn't want to have a customs border at all, a bit like it is at the moment, after brexit. but it might be the eu doesn't agree to that. if that would be the case then the second option is to give an exemption to a lot of local traders and set up a scheme for bigger traders where they have a trusted trader scheme. if you are registered and you put in your customs documents online then there will be no physical border. but it will be no physical border. but it will be no physical border. but it will be difficult because there is nowhere else around the european union where the border between the customs union and another country is no border at all. there are places like norway and sweden where there

isa like norway and sweden where there is a light touch, but the idea of an invisible border, which the uk is promoting, is quite new. let's talk about how may people will be affected, an estimated 20 3000-30,000 affected, an estimated 20 3000—30,000 people affected, an estimated 20 3000—30 , 000 people cross affected, an estimated 20 3000—30,000 people cross the border each day for work and around each month 170,000 lorries and 1.8 million cars cross the border. how much trade is there on a daily basis between northern ireland and the irish republic? there is a lot of local business and that's one of the things the uk thinks it can take advantage of in terms of cutting out advantage of in terms of cutting out a lot of complicated customs procedures. roughly 30,000 people are estimated to cross the everyday for work. but there are convocations. a lot of local trade is agricultural produce. there are farms and the border goes straight through the middle of that farmland. pa rt through the middle of that farmland. part of the problem there becomes regulation because the eu has very specific regulations on things like

food safety. so if you want to have no border checks there at all, then the option for the uk is basically to have pretty much exactly the same regulations as the eu to make sure those border checks are not there. don't forget, one of the reasons the uk decided to leave the eu in the first place was to get rid of all those regulations. it might be politically it will have to accept many of them will stay in place. we have been asking some of the people who will be affected what they think. here's our northern ireland correspondent chris buckler. for more than 300 miles, crossing fields and bridges, roads and rivers, there is a political dividing line on the island of ireland. but it is a border that cannot be seen, and many want it to stay that way. soft toys and cushions are the latest protest against a hard brexit. where some kind of barriers could divide towns like belcoo in northern ireland and blacklion in the republic, they are either side of this bridge.

the government wants no return to the days when border huts and customs posts marked where northern island meets the republic. this paper seems to dismiss the idea of a return to infrastructure or cameras at the border. and ministers say they are determined to protect the common travel area. allowing the free movement of people across ireland and britain. because tied up with the politics and practicalities are concerns about the potential impact of peace and prosperity at this, what is currently the softest of borders. chris buckler, bbc news. still to come, he's taking one more shot as 007 with daniel craig confirming he will be back as james bond. the latest figures out today show unemployment in the uk fell

again in the three months to the end ofjune by 57,000 to 1.118 million. it's the lowest since 1975. average weekly earnings by up by more than 296, weekly earnings by up by more than 2%, but they are still behind inflation, causing a squeeze on living standards. here's steve bell, chief economist at bmo field asset management. more jobs, lower unemployment. it's not so good news for pay, which is inching up slower than inflation. the big reason for thatis than inflation. the big reason for that is the pound has fallen a lot in the last year. you are spending pounds that are worth less. whether you are on holiday abroad or buying an imported good you are being squeezed. it's not surprising employers are not putting up wages to compensate for that because they don't have that as profit. what it means, i think, don't have that as profit. what it means, ithink, is don't have that as profit. what it means, i think, is we can run the economy with lower unemployment, which is quite good news. 0ur lead story, critical reaction to

donald trump's latest comments on white supremacists now includes outright condemnation of bigotry by america's last two republican presidents. let's look at some of the stories making the news around the stories making the news around the bbc. police in the philippines have killed more than 30 people in what's thought to be the bloodiest 24 what's thought to be the bloodiest 2a hours in the country's war on drugs. 0fficers 2a hours in the country's war on drugs. officers say those killed in the raids north of the capital of manila where suspected drug offenders who were armed and resisted. more than 100 people were arrested. that story is on the bbc world service. on bbc hindi, news that indian soldiers have clashed with chinese troops on a disputed border in the western himalayas with the two sides hurling stones at each other. officials say indian service men formed a human chain to prevent

chinese forces entering territory claimed by india, although india has said it's not aware of the incident. this man, the defeated candidate in last week's presidential election in kenya says he will challenge the presidential election in the supreme court. he told supporters that the opposition has collected concrete evidence of what he calls massive irregularities. from nairobi, this report. today police and tax officials raided the premises of the political organisation, and that's a day after the government announced they have deregistered the kenyan human rights commission who had been considering looking at the election voting process. 0ther considering looking at the election voting process. other than that they say they have glaring evidence which they suggest that if kenyon ‘s do not know the country has a

legitimate voting processes. we refuse to sit and watch our country turned into a banana republic in the playground. accepting such a crime for the third election in a row would be irredeemable and showcase the permanent death of democracy. future elections would be a sham. we will not be parted to it. there are two main pieces of evidence that we re two main pieces of evidence that were suggested. they called the current elected leadership is computer—generated, saying the results were fake. they pointed out that all through the election process that the president kept a sustained lead of 11%, and there was a suggestion there was an algorithm inserted into the electoral commission's website that made the result so. they also made a glaring

accusation that the provisional and final results that were announced we re final results that were announced were unsubstantiated and illegal, suggesting some of the election officials were unlicensed, and some officials were unlicensed, and some of the polling stations from where results were announced were also nonexistent. we will return to the top story for business. donald trump announced he is closing down to presidential business advisory groups he set up when he took office. this comes after a number of chief executives quit because of his response to violent clashes in virginia. we can go to new york now. donald trump, we talk about this quite a lot, he prides himself on his business friendly image. how much of a hit is this for him? is quite significant to you have a president that campaigned on the fa ct president that campaigned on the fact he's a businessman who understands how business works, and he's the one who will be able to bring jobs and manufacturing backed

the united states. these white house counsels were created so business leaders could offer input on trying to achieve some of these goals directly to the president. 0ne to achieve some of these goals directly to the president. one by one we have seen members of the manufacturing council world away from these groups because of comments made by the president with regards the protests that happened in cha rlottesville regards the protests that happened in charlottesville virginia over the weekend. that and another group we saw held a meeting earlier on wednesday and it is largely agreed they should disband again in protest over what was said with regards to those protests. in advance of that we saw the president to eat, saying, that's it, i will in the eliminate both groups altogether.” that's it, i will in the eliminate both groups altogether. i can bring up both groups altogether. i can bring upa both groups altogether. i can bring up a tweet from donald trump today aimed at one company in particular, amazon, and he says amazon is doing great damage to taxpaying retailers,

towns and cities and states throughout the us being hurt. many jobs being lost. what impact did that have? it certainly had a huge impact on amazon's share price. premarket trading, they had lost some $5 million in terms of value. but all of that was regained in the day of trading. it's significant that the president singled out the head of amazon, jeff bezos, who has disrupted the way americans go shopping, and the way a lot of people go shopping. it's also interesting because he's the head of the washington post. yet another pa rt the washington post. yet another part of what the president calls the fa ke part of what the president calls the fake news media. you get the sense donald trump is fighting several fires at once. certainly he has a lot of people making their voices heard in one way or another. you are

certainly hearing from corporate america. there is a sense that the president is becoming more and more isolated. we heard reports today that a lot of comments made at tuesday's press briefing where his alone. there is a lot of questioning about what happens now regards the president's legislative initiatives, like bringing jobs back and improving manufacturing and bring it back to america. staying with business and going to a bigger picture story, if you like, which is north america trade between the us, canada and mexico, worth more than $1 trillion per year, but mr trump is not happy with the free trade deal, calling nafta a job killer. the first round of talks to renegotiate the deal began in washington today. america's chief negotiator was talking tough. for callous americans this agreement has failed. we cannot ignore —— for

cou ntless failed. we cannot ignore —— for countless americans. we can't ignore the huge trade deficits, lost manufacturing jobs and businesses that have moved and closed because of incentives, intended or not, in the current agreement. now some exciting news about james the current agreement. now some exciting news aboutjames bond. after months of speculation daniel craig has confirmed he will return as 007 in the next film due to be released in 2019. he said this will be his final appearance. months of speculation, will daniel craig come back for a fifth time as 007? will you return as james bond? yes. cheering daniel is the seventh actor to take on bond and is commercially the most successful of the franchise with skyfall being the first to break the $1 billion mark at the box office, it was only a matter of time before he was back home at mi6, regardless of how many times it's been destroyed in the films. explosion despite the cars, the martinis

on tap and of course the women, let's not forget that after the release of spectre daniel said he would rather slit his wrists than play the fictional mi6 spy again. and if you believe what you read in the press, he's going to be well—paid. and while daniel was mulling over that offer other names like idris elba were discussed. but for the fans, daniel is the man with the golden gun. after all of this regulation we finally have an answer and it's like christmas in august. daniel craig has reinvented bond and his films are among the most successful and critically acclaimed, so i think we are really glad we got the answer, we are looking forward to bond 25. he will be 51 by the time bond 25 hits the cinemas in 2019 and the stunts from spectre left him needing knee surgery. so it's understandable that he says this time is the last time. chi chi izundu, bbc news. and this story is causing a stir on

social media with rising warm at prices meaning nestle take a keen agreement out of walnut whip chocolates. the first time in the confectionery‘s 100 year history. the war that has been removed from the top of the chocolate. 0ne the war that has been removed from the top of the chocolate. one that prices have surged this year. they have been created, some new flavours, vanilla, carol mint and caramel, but no more nuts on top of the chocolate. coming up we will have the sport and what it means to be under house arrest in iran. good evening.

i'm sure if you have been watching the news you will have heard about the devastating flooding in sierra leone. it is a wet time of year, but we've had about 500 millimetres of rain in the last few days, that's half a metre, and it tends to come in rather sustained periods at this time of year across the west of africa. you can see the one mass of rain we see clearing out the way and then some respite because we're at the height of the rainy season. we would normally see throughout the month of august around 900 millimetres, not far short of a metre of rain, so more heavy rain unfortunately is expected. 0ne mass of rain is now moving out into the atlantic and we will have a few days of showers now, so it's not dry, but as we head towards the weekend the likelihood is we could see another of those showers clustering together to give us some really rather persistent and intense rain at times. clearly that is a concern. it's also been exceptionally wet across parts of south asia,

bangladesh, nepal, north—east states of india. all the rain starting to ease, but it's still filtering into the catchments such as the ganges and the brahmaputra in the next few days. you can still see in the satellite picture it looks quite active, but what we are seeing happening is a development in the central bay of bengal. it has started on the satellite picture and it will tend to cut the reins off further north for a time and instead we will see the heaviest rain transferring to central parts of india, and perhaps heading north and west. there are warnings out for this part of india as well for the coming few days. certainly not out of the woods as the rain comes down through the catchments and obviously also where we are seeing an enhanced rain once again, areas where already this monsoon season has been very wet. now to some wintry weather. as we head down to australia and new zealand, we have seen a pounding from the winds in recent days. we can see tightly packed isobars and it's likely to stay very windy here for the next few days, particularly tasmania, victoria and southern australia, and indeed new zealand. it's cold enough certainly for some snow heading into the southern alps of new zealand.

for the vast majority, a lot of fine and dry weather, but it's feeling very wintry further south, and as a result quite cool. let's head back towards europe where the heat and the dry weather, the parched weather continues for much of southern europe. this was taken in greece where you can unfortunately see the wind fanning the flames. it's a pretty windy picture here. and it will be for the next couple of days. you can see the northerly winds, the heat and dry weather. no sign of appreciable rain but the wind is adding to the woes. unfortunately the likelihood is that the wind will pick up in portugal, where the heat is starting to build again across iberia where you can see temperatures in madrid heading towards the high 30s. it's much more cool and unsettled further north, but daryl will have more on that later. hello. you are watching outside source. a memorial service for the woman who was killed when a car drove into her in the us town of charlottesville, heather heyer‘s

mother had this message. they tried to kill my child to shut her up. well guess what, you just magnified her. president trump's apparent defence of the white supremacist who organised the rally that heather heyer was protesting against has led many senior business leaders to distance themselves from the white house. grief and anger in freetown as authorities are aimed for hampering rescue efforts, at least 600 people are missing after the devastating mudslide. the uk government have published their plans
