from donald trump, after he allegedly made derogatory and vulgar references to african countries. president trump has denied making the remarks, including the use of an expletive. president trump has warned that he'll re—impose sanctions on iran in less than four months, a move that would undermine the agreement under which tehran curbed its nuclear programme. he now wants the us and europe to impose new restrictions on the iranians. facebook has announced what it says is a major change to its news feed — prioritising posts from family and friends, over those from advertisers and media organisations. the change follows criticism that too much fake news and misinformation has been ending up on the social network. a huge fire engulfed a section of nottingham railway station this morning. around 60 firefighters tackled the blaze, which began at about 6:30.

no—one was injured, but trains are still not running through the station and travellers are being warned to avoid the area. phil mackie reports. the severe fire rapidly spread through the recently renovated station at the start of this morning's rush hour. 60 firefighters were called to deal with the blaze while passengers and staff were safely evacuated. our crews were in attendance very quickly and managed to put in place measures to, a, protect lives, and, b, do everything they can to protect the building. i've got firefighters here that have served 20—plus years and have said the heat they were exposed to was the likes of which they had never experienced before. it was a significant fire. it spread into an area difficult to get to, meaning it took several hours to get the fire under control. this is where the fire started at 6:30am this morning, in the main concourse. you can still smell the smoke in the air right now. the fire station is quite close by, so they got here quickly and they evacuated very fast. it is still causing knock—on effects for the rail network, notjust in the midlands,

but elsewhere in the country too. the station is closed until further notice. rail and tram services continue to be affected in nottingham. and the disruption is causing problems over a much wider area. obviously, i've come down, speaking to the officer, the train station is still closed and he diverted me here and now i'm going to find out if i can actually get a coach to lincoln. thousands of people are affected by this. it's not a little village station, it's the main station for the midlands, basically, isn't it? so loads of people have been affected. crazy. the fire's now under control. a joint police and fire investigation has been launched. now on bbc news, it's our world. the ball in eastern ukraine, more

than 10,000 people have died. now this has become one of the longest conflicts in modern european history. there is no end in sight to the her still tea rs there is no end in sight to the her still tears after separatist rebels backed by russia took over ukraine's donbass region. hundreds of families we re donbass region. hundreds of families were split up, stranded on opposite sides of the border. with destruction all around, one familiar smell of peace time. but life to many here is anything but normal. i lucy ash and i in the town

of maryinka, were a bakery is providing hope that missed the trauma of war. —— among. maryinka lies on the ukrainian side of the frontline. before the conflict, nearly 10,000 people lived here. there is only half that number 110w. here. there is only half that number now. factories and coal mines have come to a standstill, in a war zone, jobs are hard to find. but for those trapped here, daily life must somehow won. —— go trapped here, daily life must somehow won. —— go on. trapped here, daily life must somehow won. —— go on. i have come

to meet a local pastor who, against the odds, has started a small business here. he converted this old supermarket, damaged in the fighting, into a working bakery. the bakery is maryinka's first new business seemed the war began. he produces fresh bread at affordable prices. 0lga has lived in the town for 30 years, ever since she and husband were evacuated from the

chernobyl nuclear disaster. this war has separated her on her children and grandchildren. 0lder‘s home in maryinka was badly damaged by shelling. she had her husband camp out in a home log into afamily husband camp out in a home log into a family which has fled. she pines for her old life. she was very, very proud of the house and garden. she wa nts to proud of the house and garden. she wants to show me pictures. her children and grandchildren live in an area controlled by the

breakaway donetsk people's republic and you need special permission to go there. the conflict in eastern ukraine was sparked by a demonstrations in kiev in the winter of 2013 which ousted the pro— moscow president, soon after the russian takeover of crimea, russian backed rebels then seized territory around the eastern city of donetsk and declared the breakaway republics. maryinka, just 30 kilometres from donetsk found it self in a war zone. at the beginning of the conflict, it was captured by the dnr forces and retaken by the ukrainian army for months later. the

frontline runs north—east of maryinka's centre. queues across to the other side could last hours, even days. this effect the border has divided families and created deep reefs between former neighbours. the divisions here in maryinka are really quite complicated. these labels, up pro—russian, pro— ukrainian, don't really m ea n pro—russian, pro— ukrainian, don't really mean very much. people anyway are scared to say which side they actually support and, above all else, they want what is best for them and their families. they want peace to return to the town and the fighting to stop. bread is subsidised to cover costs, the ba kery subsidised to cover costs, the bakery has to make a small profit. the pastors started the bakery in

2016. they realise needed physical as well as spiritual sustenance. now he spends his days in maryinka but it might he goes home to a town safely away from the frontline. he does not hide where his political sympathies lie. he takes it to meet his family. he was once a successful businessman in donetsk, now in rebel held territory. he sought solace in the church after his daughter died in a car crash before the war. today he dedicates his life to help they prop in bread from other towns but it arrived sale and cold so he

got the idea for the bakery. it opened with the help from foreign aid, $10,000 camera which has a large ukrainian diaspora and flower from the czech republic. —— $10,000 from the czech republic. —— $10,000 from canada. the bakery employs seven people. on the night's shift, three work flat out to produce another bread, barnes and biscuits for the next day. —— buns. it is just past 11 o'clock and

they are waiting for the bread to rise by the time i have been here we have already had gunfire and shells go. she is telling me it is very normal and it happens most nights they are here. natasha had a job ad ba kery they are here. natasha had a job ad bakery in town if what it was hit by a shell. the bakery here is a haven from the fighting which usually kicks off at dusk. the women stay here until morning because it is too dangerous to travel home at night. they both live in the so—called red zone, ina they both live in the so—called red zone, in a neighbourhood right eye the frontline. tanja lives with her husband and teenage son. 0lga has mixed feeling about the ukrainian army's presence in the town. many here don't know who to believe

and a lack of information deepens the distrust. locals mostly watch russian tv which has a much stronger signal than the ukrainian channels. we are going to the place where the ukrainian army is positioned just on the outskirts of marinka. apparently there was in trouble their last night, quite a lot of shelling, but it is quiet today. morale is low even though these troops only arrived in the new rotation a few weeks ago. many suspect the war is

being driven by profit and corruption but they don't want to say that on camera. a singer officer talks of men in the shadows and smuggling networks for weapons, coal and oil. use of this opportunity to introduce himself to the soldiers. the ukrainian government calls this area the anti—terrorist operation zone and seize the land on the other side of the frontline as occupied territory. i'm not going to come out any further onto the roof because there are snipers in that direction but you can see how close the town is, ijust heard the church bells, the bakery and the marketjust about four or 500 metres from here this really is a town the frontline. life

is hard, especially to the elderly in marinka. the international red cross distributes aid such as coal but poverty and the stress of war create tensions between neighbours. seemed to be i don't know about a0 people queueing up to this registration to get winter cold. i'm just going to ask about it. u psta i rs upstairs i find lieutenant alexander, a military man now in charge of marinka. he is uncomfortable when i ask him aid is coming from and charities rather than the ukrainian government. i've come to meet 0lya the baker. the house was hit and patched up by volunteers. it is right next to the checkpoint which separates ukraine from no man's land. beyond this

slack heap is rebel held territory, but the end. —— the dnr. it has been no gas or drinking water in marinka since the war began. people have a lwa ys since the war began. people have always produced their own food here. but now it is even more important. during the worst bombing, 0lya went down to the cellar. her elderly father didn't make it and died after being injured by shattered glass. tanya who works with 0lya at the ba kery tanya who works with 0lya at the bakery lives only a few hours at four almost every house in tanya's street

has been bombed or shelled at some point. a local teacher is that the bakery to pick up funds this monday morning for the kindergarten. this building, like most in the town, was badly damaged and the children were evacuated. now it is open again, although there

are only two classes so far. there is no canteen here yet to the jam filled buns are a special treat. the war in ukraine has slipped off the political agenda and it is really in the news anymore but it is farfrom really in the news anymore but it is far from over. it really in the news anymore but it is farfrom over. it is hard to imagine a time when these children will be able to live in peace. and although the fighting now is not as bad as it has been, it is —— its sporadic nature means nobody knows when or where the next shell will land. hello there.

for many of us, the weather has not changed a great deal over the last couple of days. look at the satellite picture from thursday and i will show you what i mean. a largely cloudy day across many areas of the british isles. here's a satellite picture from yesterday again showing extensive cloud cover. we'll leave the satellite picture behind for a moment. today's headline, can you guess what it'll be? yes, another cloudy day. but the weather is not that straightforward. a weather front in the west is bringing outbreaks of rain for some of us. there's at least one change. now, the weather will be fairly slow moving again on saturday because this weather front is coming in off the atlantic and is running into this massive area of high pressure, that's influencing the weather across much of northern and central europe, so the front will not make much progress against that massive blocking area of high pressure. it means where we start off with outbreaks of rain in western areas, that rain band will probably be in the same kind of areas right the way through the day. but further across central and eastern england and central

and eastern scotland, for the vast majority of us for much of the day it's going to be dry but extensively cloudy, a bit more of a breeze around. a few gaps in the cloud to allow some brighter moments. there is the forecast through saturday night. this weather front in the west will fizzle overnight with a bit of rain going in across north—west england, into central and eastern areas of scotland. the winds fall light across england. we could get some mist and fog patches, with maybe the cloud thickening up a bit to allow drizzle on sunday. but for sunday, another cloudy one for most of us. a change coming into the north—west. we will see another atlantic front moving in, this one bringing some heavy rain and fairly strong winds with it, but this one will be a big player to finally break our spell of cloudy weather. this is what happens. sunday night and on into monday, the front swings its way southwards and eastwards across the british isles. behind this cold front, the air gets colder. starting to come in with a more north—westerly direction and the skies will brighten up.

down go the temperatures. through monday afternoon, highs of four or five celsius for northern and western areas of the british isles, cold enough for snow in the hills of scotland. colder air on the way for next week, which means more in the way of sunshine. it means the weather will be getting colder and at times it could turn very windy, but it also means there is the risk of some snow next week, particularly in the north down to low levels, but the hills further south could also see some snow at times. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name is andrew plant. our top stories: shocked and outraged — african countries demand an apology for allegedly racist comments made by donald trump. president trump says he won't pull out of the deal aimed at curbing iran's nuclear programme for now, but it has to change.

a makeover for facebook. the social network says it should be more about family than fake news. and we get under the skin of the artists working at what's believed to be the oldest tattoo parlour in the world.
