the gap and coming up in half an hour — get on board the worlds largest cruise ship and meet the man in charge of serving thousands of meals for its passengers. that's all coming on the travel show. good morning and welcome to bbc news. north korea has announced the immediate suspension of nuclear and missile tests and a shutdown of its nuclear test site. the announcement comes ahead of planned summits with the leaders of south korea and the united states. president trump has tweeted that the announcement is good news for the world and that he is looking forward to meeting the north korean leaderfor talks. bill hayton reports. in his six years as north korean leader,

kim jong—un‘s nuclear missile programmes have made giant leaps. his regime now possesses both a nuclear weapon and the ability to hit parts of the united states. many in the region feared confrontation was coming, so this announcement appears to be good news. president trump certainly sees it that way. "big progress," he declared, "look forward to our summit." however, one former obama administration official says the announcement avoids the big issues. it's not a major change. it says north korea will freeze their testing. but it made no statement about a commitment towards denuclearisation or really any of the requirements that the trump administration put forward for what they are looking forward for what they are looking for in this negotiation. there has been intense diplomacy to get to this point. kim jong—un visited beijing. mr trump's cia boss went to north korea. and the winter olympics allowed north korean officials to visit the south.

the next step will be a meeting next week between kim and his south korean counterpart, moonjae—in. a new direct telephone line between the two leaderships was formally opened on friday. however, the fact that pyongyang is telling its people about the progress suggests that it is serious about decreasing the tension on the korean peninsula. bill hayton, bbc news. our washington correspondent, chris buckler assesses the latest development. there is no doubt that the last few months have seen huge diplomatic leaps. remember, it was only the latter half of last year with donald trump calling kim jong—un little rocket man and threatening fire and fury for north korea. and in response, they were saying that they had developed intercontinental ballistic missiles that could reach north america. so

things have changed, but in this statement is not what america wants, which is commitment to denuclearisation. certainly a lot will be welcome. there are longer term commitments, for example, getting rid of the testing site in the north of the country. but there will be some inside the white house, inside the trump administration, urging caution. they will say promises and pledges have been made by north korea before and they have been broken and that trust is something to be earned, not just fully given. there are countries like japan who really feel the pressure has to be kept up on pyongyang. nevertheless, you get the feeling a stage is being set for an historic summit between donald trump and kim jong—un. chris buckler there in washington. joining me now from seoul is aidan foster—carter, honorary senior research fellow in sociology and modern korea at leeds university. thank you for being with us. how significant is this development? it's good, but i'm with the

commentators you have already quoted. the movement is all in the right direction. we are for sure in a better place than all the threats and insults of last year. however, it's important not to oversell this. the north korean statement which i trust all viewers will immediately go online and read in full, it is 2000 words long, it doesn't mess about. it is the statement of someone about. it is the statement of someone who sounds satisfied, triumphant, even complacent. we are not testing a more because we have now got a safe enough, i'm paraphrasing here, a good enough nuclear defence that we feel safe and secure. there is no talk of giving up anything, although with that nuclear site that they are closing down, they have blown up the mountain anyway and it is probably an usable. there was a word about transparency so maybe people will be allowed to look at that. this is just the start of a process, but it isa just the start of a process, but it is a start. indeed, and it suggests we are on a pathway somewhere, but what do we know about what north

korea might ultimately want, then? this has long been difficult. kim jong—un is the third kim, as i'm sure everybody knows, and some of the phrase is new, phrases like security guarantees from the united states have been around for a long time, and we have a 20 year history of diplomacy where the us sometimes under bill clinton particularly tried to give those guarantees, but given the level of historical mistrust, there was a korean war after all, actual belligerency, and there is still no peace treaty, it is hard to know what form of words would be accepted. you can replace the armistice by a peace treaty, this has been talked about, but would that create trust? i don't fix, unless north korea gives up some nuclear weapons. and that is the thing we haven't had any word about at all from kim jong—un or anybody else. and with two significant periods of talk coming up, with south korea firstly and of

a meeting with president trump, will there be some kind ofjoint strategy internationally, or indeed multilateral approach from various countries? body you think each country has a different set of things they want to achieve? very good question, and the answer is a little bit of both. the countries' interests do differ, and it is not that easy for the left—leaning moon jae—in, a veteran of the former sunshine policy would be nice to —— like to be nice to north korea if he can, and donald trump, republican, firebrand, wild card, berlin a china shop. they have managed to credit president trump with making this happen, it may not be the case but it is colin lee the right thing to say, but one can imagine situations further down the row at the inter—korean summit, and i'm sure this government in south korea would like more corporation which is now

illegal under un sanctions, i don't think the us orjapan would improve, so you can see the problems that may arise from success further down the road. you have expressed various caveats about what might change in north korea. it is impossible to look ahead to far, but do you sense that we may see a situation, albeit many years hence, where we see north korea normalised in some way? order you think that is just pie in the sky? i wish. but you think that is just pie in the sky? iwish. but north you think that is just pie in the sky? i wish. but north korea, you think that is just pie in the sky? iwish. but north korea, i think it is a contemptible regime, very cruel morally, and i respect its resilience and cunning, through three generations, although there has been change, but is now something of a market economy that they never actually talk about it. it has also remained the same and unique in its all crushing leadership, if you want. and because of the internal power structure, it is really ha rd of the internal power structure, it is really hard to balance hope and experience. i am

is really hard to balance hope and experience. iam not is really hard to balance hope and experience. i am not missed by temperament, i really hope something unexpected will come out of the inter—korean summit, but past experience does counsel caution. in 2000, i was on hand at the old bbc television centre for the first summit, andi television centre for the first summit, and i was quite emotional about it, had great hopes, they got dashed. let us hope that this time it is better. indeed, and i hope we will speak to you again as things move forward. aidan foster carter, many thanks for your time. theresa may has promised compensation to longstanding caribbean migrants who have been unfairly threatened with deportation. it is expected to cover any financial losses incurred —— and more details are expected to be published within the next week. a show of solidarity. hundreds gathered in south london last night at the aptly named windrush square demanding compensation for those who had been affected. the message? the issue overshadowed the summit of commonwealth leaders which backed prince charles to become the next head of the organisation when he becomes king. downing street declined to give further details about how the compensation scheme will work, but said they would be announced shortly by the home office. simon jones, bbc news.

susana mendonca joins us with the latest on this... it has emerged that the national archives that has all sorts of things from a couple of hundred yea rs has things from a couple of hundred years has some records in its possession that go back to 1878, up until 1960, so taking possession that go back to 1878, up until1960, so taking in possession that go back to 1878, up until 1960, so taking in the windrush generation, and these are details of passenger lists, of people who have come over, so names, dates of birth, journeys that they took, and these documents were kept for the board of trade at the time, so they have got these documents, but what they don't know you yet is whether the government will be using those documents. certainly, it means that there potentially is some evidence that could potentially back up evidence that could potentially back up the cases of these people from the windrush generation, who came over during that period. we understand that there is about 500 boxes which could be used. so it would require some sorting out on

picking what has become quite a mess, and it is becoming contributed. we are hearing stories of people needing copy takes in —— compensation. back in 2009, when the labour government was in power, there was a decision made at the home office to get rid of all documents. these are the landing ca rd of documents. these are the landing card of the people who came in in the windrush generation who would have been filmed in at that time —— filled in at that time. they were destroyed, in 2010. once theresa may was in the home office, because the coalition took over in 2010, but the keyissue, coalition took over in 2010, but the key issue, really, certainly from labour's perspective is the direction of travel in terms of how the home office then began to deal with immigrants. because the home office under the coalition, decided to be much stricter on immigration, and it became the case that if you we re and it became the case that if you were somebody who was living in the uk, you had to prove that you were legally here. of course, in these

people did not have that prove, and said they would then denied rights to health care, for example, they lost theirjobs, somewhat deported. that is why we have got to this point now, where the home secretary and the prime minister have been apologising over the past week. some very embarrassing scenes at them as we have had the commonwealth heads of government in the country, and instead, she has had to apologise for this saga. and when it comes for how this looks, this whole issue of immigration, and people coming into the country, and wanted to stay, plays also into the hands of people who might be looking to criticise the brexit process? one of the key parts of the process at the moment is the ecj and whether or not it has jurisdiction over eu citizens after we leave. what has been agreed is that it would have jurisdiction over european citizens are eight years after we leave the eu, but what we have seen in the

last few days is eu representatives getting wary about whether on not their rights would be protected, and we have heard from a dutch mp today who said that if the british government can't protect the rights of uk citizens, can the eu trust them to protect the rights of eu citizens and their children in the yea rs citizens and their children in the years to come? and so raising the question about whether or not after we leave the eu people who have emigrated here from the eu would be protected. it is quite a conjugated one. susana, thank you very much indeed. police have arrested a man wanted in connection with a burglary in south east london during which one intruder was fatally stabbed. billyjeeves , who's 28, was detained in kent. he's being questioned about a raid at the home of 78—year—old richard osborn—brooks in hither green where a burglar henry vincent was stabbed and later died from his wounds. the parents of the terminally ill toddler alfie evans have lost the latest stage of their legal

andl it was going to be an easy match, and i was going to have to earn my way to get an opportunity to come through as the winner today. bluster through as the winner today. bluster through to the final of the european challenge cup they beat newcastle 30-12, challenge cup they beat newcastle 30—12, running in four challenge cup they beat newcastle 30—12, running infourtries. gloucester will play cardiff blues, or the french side in the final in bill bauer. in super league, st helens beat huddersfield while wigan beat castlefield to give up the pressure in second spot. oliver gildart scored two tries. they are just two boys behind st helens in the table. the world snooker championship is getting under way in sheffield. as is tradition, the defending champion is in action first, that is mark selby, that man there, looking for a fourth title in five years. he is up againstjoe perry. so this is the action now from table one, selby with a score

in national insurance payment, this according to a new study. the consumer group which says reforms introduced two years ago are starting to narrow the gap but more needs to be done. here's our personal finance correspondent simon gompertz. nearly 13 million pensioners, but they're not all the same. on average, women get less than men out of the state pension. until recently, there were two different bits. the basic pension, how much get of that, depends on how many years you've been working and paying national insurance. and the state second pension, linked to how much you earned. what which has found is that men receive £154 per week on average while the typical women's pension is £126, hence the gap of £28, the result of patchy national insurance records and lower pay while working. for people retiring now and in the future, there's a new state pension. it gets rid of the state's second pension, which men do best from, and makes the most of allowances for caring, which go mainly to women. only those who have retired since 2016 get it.

but which says amongst them, men have been getting £152 per week on average, while women are getting £1114. so there's still an e8 gap. many women are already having to deal with the fact that their pension age is being raised from 60 to 65. how long will it take for the pension gap to close? some say it could be a decade. simon gompertz, bbc news. the former us first lady, barbara bush, will be laid to rest at a private family funeral in texas later on saturday. mourners have been paying their respects to the 92—year—old at a public lying—in—repose, where they were greeted by her husband, george bush senior. european and us airline regulators have ordered emergency inspections ofjet engines like the one that blew up during a flight earlier this week. the engine explosion on a southwest airlines flight was caused by a broken fan blade. the blast shattered a window and killed a passenger.

now the federal aviation administration has ordered that the engines of 700 aircraft be checked within the next 20 days. voters in england will head to the polls on the 3rd of may for the first test of electoral opinion since last year's dramatic general election result. with seats on 150 councils up for grabs, john maguire is looking at the issues affecting voters. he's been to plymouth, a council which is hotly disputed between labour and the conservatives. that's one thing you can't change, is the weather. only mad dogs and plymouthians would be out on a day like this. but members of this community running and walking group, aptly named storm, is made of tough stuff. but not me. so we have taken shelter in a cafe to get down to chatting about the local elections. we put them into power, but they do not even ask sometimes what we can spend on. we pay council rates and taxes and everything else, but it would be nice to say what would you like to spend this £27 million on? i have lived here all my life.

plymouth is a beautiful city. sometimes we do not appreciate it. all that seems to be happening is new student accommodation. i know student accommodation is important, it is a lifeline in plymouth, but there are other things as well i would put as a priority. history and social changes in the dna of this seafaring city. there is also a rich political heritage. nancy astor, the first woman to take her seat in the commons, was a plymouth mp. as was the former labour leader, michael foot. and with right honourable mentions for david owen, who went on to form the sdp, and alan clarke, whose famous diaries transcended the world of westminster. well, plymouth has, economically and socially, in many respects, has a lot more in common with cities further north than with other industrial cities, and its pattern of politics reflects that. adrian leigh, a former head of politics at plymouth university, has analysed elections for more than a0 years here. the electoral landscape has changed significantly, or appears to have done,

but still, the contest this time will be between labour and conservatives, particularly as ukip has declined significantly. but we ought to mention the fact the liberal democrats are fielding a full slate of candidates in the city for the first time for a number of years. but if a ward is deemed to be a safe seat, then margaret tells me ca nvassers are scarce. we never get anybody coming down our way. general elections, local elections, you never see anybody. in terms of the wider issues, defence is a vital industry here, but transport links are often criticised. the city's ambition is to grow from 260,000 people to 300,000. but as the population ages, the challenge here will be to take care of the elderly while providing enough opportunity for a workforce to pay the bills.

john maguire, bbc news, plymouth. and you can find out more about the local elections in england on the bbc news website. it's been more than ten months since the london bridge attack, which left eight people dead and dozens more injured. one of those was charlie, a metropolitan police officer, who happened to be on the scene at the time. since then he's had five operations, but on sunday will run the london marathon. caroline davies has been speaking to him. firstly i thought it was just a pub fire. um, it was just one of them just instant reactions to go over there, try and help your colleagues out. police officer charlie guenigault was off duty watching football in london bridge on the night of the third ofjune. he was one of many members of the emergency services that ran towards the attackers. initially, i was confronted by all three and two of them started to attack me. i then tried to, you know, do my best to defend

myself and unfortunately, one of them got me in the back first and then twice in the head, and another one in the back and then at that stage, i've just sort of just fallen to the floor. for about three or four seconds, i thought "this is it." for whatever reason, the attackers didn't stay to kill charlie, but they did leave him with serious injuries. initially, i had some a splenectomy, so my spleen was taken out and just obviously, you know, bandaged up inside. i had an infection, about another eight weeks at kings over the summer. since he has been out of hospital, charlie has been building up to run his second london marathon. it was just a challenge on all parts of my body, i mean, mainly it was from where the surgery was and where i had chest drains in and things like that. but i always feel that i've run a bit further. before i've had to sort of stop or i didn't feel as much pain this time and now it has got to a point where sometimes, you know, it might be like for a brief moment you think "oh, this is like it was last time."

this time, he is running it for the team who helped save his life, king's college hospital. it's really important for me to do — to give something back to them. what i am aiming to raise isn't gonna, you now, build a new ward, it's not gonna do that, but it is money at the end of the day that goes towards them, to help them out in helping others. it might seem a huge challenge to go from a hospital bed to a marathon in less than one year but then, charlie's has already shown he'll run in where others wouldn't. carolyn davis, bbc news. a rare aston martin car, owned by the james bond actor, daniel craig has sold at auction in new york for more than 330—thousand pounds. the model, which has the production number, 007, is one ofjust 100 vehicles produced in 2014 as part of a limited edition series, to mark the firm's centenary. the queen turns 92 today, and celebrations including two 21—gun salutes are planned to mark the occasion. her majesty, who has been hosting
